Today is the 12th Day of Christmas!! Woohoo! Sheaffer and I wanted to end our 12 Days celebrating with things we love at our Pajama Party! We're curled up in our cute PJ Salvage jammies, drinking cocoa with marshmallows (Sheaffer's may or may not have a splash of something "adult" in her cocoa...), listening to Buble sing Christmas carols and we're talking about how much we love this time of year.
First up, we're talking about our awesome giveaway! We are giving away all of our favorite things to one lucky reader today!
One $50 Erin Condren gift card, a pair of mustache PJ Salvage pajamas, one solid colored blardigan, Vanilla Bean Noel lotion, a travel mug, The Holiday, a dress from Piper Street, Quick & Easy Christmas Cookbook, Stella & Dot Trinity Pendant, Michael Buble's Christmas CD, Taupe Fringe Scarf
Did you see all of that goodness? A blardigan! Pajamas! A gift card to Erin Condren! Our favorite movie, favorite CD, the best scarf EVER, and so much more!
We just love you ladies so much and are so thankful that you come by to visit us every day! Since it's a PJ party, we're not only cuddled up in the Blardigan watching The Holiday and discussing our love of Erin Condren...we're talking about holiday favorites too...
What's your favorite thing to eat on Christmas morning after you've opened gifts?
Sheaffer: A French Toast Casserole!
At this point, we both recognize the fact that we operate best on Christmas Day when we're full of carbs and sugar.
What's your favorite Christmas movie?
Sheaffer: The Holiday
Me: The Holiday
At this point, we discuss how Jude Law is just the cutest thing ever...and that he melts our hearts...especially when he "weeps" during the movie.
What do you typically eat on Christmas Eve for dinner?
Sheaffer: Mexican Food
Me: We have an appetizer party!
At this point, we discuss our love of food in general. We both loooove a good meal...especially together.
What are you hoping Santa brings you this Christmas?
Sheaffer: Red Hunter Boots
Me: A furry vest
And since this is a PJ Party...I thought we should focus a moment more on those adorable pajamas we're giving away...
...they're flannel, they're cozy, they're whimsical, they're perfect. I love, love, love these jammies!
I always ask each of my co-host the same set of 12 questions...let's see how Sheaffer answered...
1. What is your favorite cosmetic?
Lip gloss is the one make-up product I absolutely can't live without! I like NARS Sweet Dreams, Mac Viva Glam, and the Nordstrom brand. I always wear the same lipstick, but I rotate between these lip glosses.
2. What is your favorite beauty product (not makeup)?
This is an easy one. I swear by Revlon All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner. I always had soft and shiny hair, but about 10 years ago it all of a sudden started getting dry and hard to manage. The All Soft products were recommended to me, and I've been using them ever since. They are kind of expensive, so I always buy them when it's But 2 Get 2 Free at Ulta.
3. What is your favorite TV show?
Right now the hubby and I are really in to Blacklist. We LOVE James Spader. But we also will always sit down to watch a Cosby Show episode if we catch one. Claire Huxtable is my favorite tv mom ever!
4. What is your favorite vacation destination?
Well, this is not really a vacation destination, but my favorite place on earth is my husband's families' ranch house. I just love spending time their with my little family. It's the perfect place to just be together and enjoy each other.
5. What is your favorite pair of shoes?
Well, the 2 most worn shoes in my closet right now are my Putty Callisto wedges and my Nude Patent Flats. I also love my leopard flats.
6. What is your favorite nail polish?
OPI's cajun shrimp
7. What is your favorite chick-flick movie?
Steel Magnolias. My junior year of high school my husband I and went on our first date, which happened to be to the Favorite's Dance for Valentine's Day. After the dance we went back to his house, plopped down on a bean bag, and watched Steel Magnolias. It's the reason our son's middle name is Jackson!
8. What is your favorite book?
I'm consistently amazed at how Jesus Calling can completely nail what you need to hear on certain days.
9. What is your favorite ice cream?
I love the Peppermint Dreyer's frozen yogurt. It only comes out around Christmas time, and I always have to fight the urge to buy like 20 so I can have it throughout the year. Of course I would also have to buy an extra freezer to keep all of it. Details.
10. Who should star in a movie based on your life?
Let's go with Sandra Bullock. And maybe afterwards she'll be my best friend.
11. What is your least favorite household chore?
Laundry fo sho. I've been known to have to run a load 3x before finally moving it to the dryer. And if we're going to be honest, there's a load in right now. It needed to be moved about an hour ago, and yet I'm not getting up to move it. Maybe tomorrow.
12. What is one fact about you most people don't know?
I LOATHE cotton. It makes my skin crawl and my teeth hurt. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. I literally just shivered thinking about it.
