No matter what anyone says, you're never too old for gifts on Christmas. The quantity may be different, however, as you mature and age (like cheese) the quality of those gifts become better. Ya get what I'm sayin'? I'm going to share my Christmas list with you all just to give you an idea of what to ask for (and how to actually get it).
1. What Do You Meme?
Though most people don’t exactly like pain; You know that sharp pain you get from laughing too hard? Dude, this game gets me every time. We can all use a good laugh from time to time. Whether its a group of 4 or 14 this game is guaranteed to make you feel warm inside… or maybe that’s just the wine ;)
2. Cash-money, h*e.
Don't front, we ALL need this. Rent isn't cheap either is my lifestyle. Throw a $100 my way. Thanks in advance. ( American Express gift cards, too).
Every girl with pierced ears is notorious for losing earring backs. I lose them in my sleep, in the shower, and just walking around my house. It just so happens that I find them months later - stabbing into the bottom of my foot. $#*!. You can never go wrong putting all of your jewelry in the same place. I'm always leaving my jewelry around the house.
My fellow curlies this is for you. I literally am always looking for new ways and techniques to enhance my curls. I do masks, co-washes, and have eliminated heat. Let's just say I've gone the full nine. I have recently found out about a hair steamer. My initial reaction was "what the hell?". Hair steamers allow your hair to take in moisture (during the winter months we all need it).
5. Uggs
You can pretend all you want that Uggs aren't on your list or in your closet. But we've all got a bit of basic b*tch in us. Time to throw out that pair from high school, yes, the ones that are leaning to the side.
6. Monthly subscription boxes
These are a great way to experiment new products without committing to them. My favorites are: curlbox, the birchbox and indulge bath & body box. (All are reasonably priced).
7. WINE GLASSES
This essential. When I say this is necessary, I mean it. I have to drink in-style.
8. A Smartwatch
If you're anything like me, you like your accessories to go with your outfits. I am very meticulous when picking out my jewelry. Though smart watches aren't essential they are pretty cool and come in handy when you're trying to avoid awkward situations - for me at least!
Ladies, treat your skin with the upmost care and respect (like the way you want your man to treat you). In all seriousness, it's so important to do masks regularly and exfoliate those pores!!
10. BOOKS!!!
Oh how I wish I was always big on reading. I am trying to reduce time spent on my phone and redirect it toward reading and gaining knowledge. I'm sure most of you have read Milk and Honey, The Sun and Her Flowers, as well as other popular poetry books. I am hoping to continue reading books as such but also to expand my horizon. Coming up on my reading list is: Whiskey Words & A Shovel, The Beauty of Broken, The Things We Keep, Twenty-two, and 20-Something 20-Everything.
I hope this has helped! The key to getting what you want is to have valid reasons. As you can see above, I have written a couple sentences to help back up why I think these items are important.
Cheers,
Darian xoxo
