Weekend Signoff :)

(This week has been a whirlwind of activities. It amazes me how we humans can endure/cope with so much in a short period of time. This weekend will be spent decorating a real Christmas tree with homemade decorations, baking and watching classic Holiday movies... at least, that's my wish.

A huge welcome to new followers of this blog, now up to 298 {from 285 last weekend}!! As you may know, I'm fixated on getting to 1000 followers by March 2010. As new followers you are eligible to win a beautiful snake-skin clutch from my personal handbag collection. Spread the word on this giveaway and it increases your chances of winning {just don't forget to let me know, so I can ensure to credit you}! A special thank you to Poised Perfection {who I encourage you to visit, as she is just starting out and we all know how important a period that is} and to Always Carried Away {which generated 23 comments to date; her generosity is truly appreciated!} for taking the time to dedicate a special post to encourage their readers to follow this blog. THANK YOU! Hoping your weekend is lovely and special. Source, Pink Wallpaper.)

Perfume for Christmas?

{Are you wishing to receive perfume this Christmas? If so, which one? Personally, I'm curious about "Wanted"... I'll let you know how it fairs...}

Inspiration: Ladurée

{I had my first macaroon a few weeks ago... loved it! However, some flavours are better than others, which means one must indulge, and indulge to undercover which is the true favourite!}
