Shiny New Things: December 2011- January 2012 Hauls

Not a gigantic personal haul done over Xmas, moreso, pressies for my team.

Although, MOH’s Xmas pressie to me was off the hook! Lemme show you…

Yep, an iPad2 plus a pink cover!! Hooked me up with Beyonce’s new scent, Pulse, a pink vinyl Domo, some cupcake lipglosses and a cupcake notepad. Super cute! My man knows me so well :D

I loves it! I have been on this thing nonstop since December 25. MOH already has one so now we’re twinsies :P

My company sent out this gigantic gourmet chocolate hamper which included everything Lindt, Baci, Guylian, plus a copy of the Michael Buble Christmas CD and David Campbell’s Let’s Go (back to the 80s) CD. This below is one set of choccies that were in the hamper.

(I forgot where the big pic is, atm.)

One of my team gifted me with some beautiful perfume bottles, cute socks and a large pink Domo :D

Because I worked all through Xmas and Boxing Day, I missed getting out to the sales. I had a couple days off over New Year so I made sure to get out to a shop or two to take advantage of the sales.

SATC 1 & 2 Blu Ray Set and perfume haul

  • SATC set- onsale for $14.99!!! Holy focaccia!
  • Cosmic Radiance EDP by Britney Spears (didn’t even know this existed) plus was given 3 gifts- the gold clutch, the gold wristlet and a nail polish bag by Sally Hansen
  • Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture- been wanting for ages and found this size at a fantastic price!

Colette/Target/Priceline/Kmart Haul

Needed a new handbag, spent a half hour walking up and down the store, trying to find the perfect one that would fit all my junk and not break.

  • Beige tote with gold hardware
  • Studs, Hoops, Rings in silver and/or black
  • Nail polish in lavendar and pink glitter (wearing at the moment, just gorgeous!)
  • Lee Stafford travel pack- has my fave hair product in it- a dehumidifier! Love to bits!!
  • Hello Kitty book cover- I know it’s childish but I want to cover my work diary in it :D
  • Eyeliner & Mineral Foundation top ups

The Hills & Equip Haul

  • Hills boxset- $56 on sale, for all 6 seasons. Now, I can possibly get rid of my American copies of Seasons 1 and 2. Miss this show, seriously.
  • Bracelet sets, rings and studs
  • (not pictured) Restocked underwear, basic tees and tanks for the new year as well. Some fantastic bargains, esp. at some of the places in my local shopping centre. The centre is being opened up on one side for expansion so the stores that are being demolished/walls broken down first, have started vacating and therefore, practically throwing out the stock.

Anyway, that’s it for another month or so, haul wise. Got bills to pay soon so I don’t expect to be hauling a great deal for a while :(

Shiny New Things: Happy BDay To Moi 2011

So, today was my birthday and while it was spent at work, I had great reasons to smile through it all.

MOH got me some awesome stuff and I am very happy with it all!

From left to right:

Apple Magic Trackpad, 2 x perfume atomisers, a super kawaii Sock Monkey, Vera Wang’s Preppy Princess fragrance, StreetDance 3D Blu Ray and a gorgeous rhinestone inspired birthday card. There is also a beautiful new watch still on its way to me :) Yay!

  • I’ve been wanting the trackpad for a while as my Mac mouse is a piece of sh*t, even corded. I was all set to use my birthday voucher on a trackpad this very Friday but alas, now I must think up something else to purchase with it… 
  • I’ve always wanted a perfume atomiser, (esp with all the large bottles I own) so I don’t have to keep lugging around a large bottle. Now I have two and these will be perfect for travelling! Plus the colours are super nice- very girly. 
  • While Street Dance didn’t quite measure up to Step Up 3, I still quite enjoyed it. Another addition to our collection and it’s in 3D as well. 
  • Remember way back when I told the story about how MOH got me the first Vera Wang Princess perfume? I’ve been wanting this one for a couple months now and almost bought it when we were in the city last but my frugality pulled me away from the counter. (Me and frugality on the same page, gotta be a joke? No, sometimes I really do feel guilt about buying.. bloody shopper’s remorse…)  
  • The Sock Monkey is f*ckin’ nuts-crazy-awesome, you peopz just don’t know. I fell in love with the little critters after seeing the sad Sock Monkey in Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium and wanted one so badly. Now, I haz one, Woohoo, Suckers!!!

One of my awesome team at work got me the Domo Kun DVD. Hells yeah!

First time it’s ever been released in OZ and it has a set of sticky note pads included, too! I can watch this wearing my Domo slippers I got for last year’s birthday :)

When I arrived home from work, we had birthday pizza and then….

BIRTHDAY CAKE!

It was from my favourite bakery and it not only looked delicious, it bloody well was delicious! It was a vanilla sponge cake with strawberry filling, fruit salad pieces and cream layers, topped of with tempered white chocolate curls, light cream (not overly sweet, either, which is good!) STRAWBERRY MACAROONS!!! So light and crunchy and tasty, all n one tiny little biscuit. Who knew?

Anyway, that’s all for this birthday haul. I know I’ll find everything pretty useful and gorgeous! Til next time…
