On the Seventh Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me...

A Mini MINI Gel Pen!

Forgive the photo quality, but this is a MINI pen with the MINI logo and racing stripes like on Marge's hood. It is also probably 3/4 the size of a regular pen which makes it adorable for my girly hands. But don't let its size fool you, because it's made of metal and pretty hefty. You could hurt someone with this. Lastly, it's a gel pen, which is the only type of pen that matters, if you ask me. Smooth writing galore!

The Biggest Reese's Peanut Butter Cups You Can Buy!

I ate some already.

My all time forever favorite candy "bar" is Reese's. I went nuts when I saw they made one this big and Tyler got one for me last Christmas. It was as delicious as you can imagine and so I was ecstatic to get another one this year. I wish I had a normal sized Reese's to show the scale, but each cup is 1/2 a pound of peanut butter/chocolately goodness. That's ONE WHOLE POUND together. Reese's heaven.

Thank you, Tyler!!!

A MINI T-shirt!

As a proud (eventual) MINI owner, I am now able to show off my MINI love by wearing this awesome T-shirt. This awesome grey T-shirt (meaning Tyler chose the right color for me of the available options). And it's the right size! Shopping for clothes for a significant other can be tricky, but Tyler got it exactly right with one.

Thank you, Babe!

On the Fourth Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me...

Four Facial Masks!

Ah, the indulgence of a face mask. Is there anything more girly? Not bloody likely. Whenever my face isn't feeling so hot, I put on one of these bad boys and am transported to a blissful beautyland. Tyler is supportive of my mask wearing even if I look crazy doing so. It feels good to be comfortable enough around my significant other that I can look like Hannibal Lector and it doesn't matter.

Thank you, cutie Ty!

On the Third Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me...

A MINI reusable trash bag!

It has a stretchy opening and a bottom that opens and closes via Velcro so you don't have to stick your hands in to pull out used tissues and the like. It straps to the back of the seat for optimum use. AND it says "Rubbish." on it, which is the posh, awesomely British way of say "trash" or "garbage". Rubbish, with a period. Oh, that dry British wit.

Thank you, Tyler! Marge will stay tidy thanks to you!

A bag of Dr. Teal's Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution - Relax & Relief with Eucalyptus & Spearmint

I love me a good bath. It is where I can be alone, naked, and warm with my thoughts and it's the closest thing to meditation I have been able to get. And with it being in the teens temperature-wise in this wicked winter wonderland, Bath Season has officially begun. But sometimes one wants to enhance their bath with bubbles and girly scents--steaming water ain't just enough. Enter Epsom salt. Go ahead and call me an old lady, but this shit works. If I have any soreness--feet and ankles, usually--this stuff penetrates my skin and muscles and I feel better when I get out.

Thanks, Tylerpants! I was all out of Epsom salt and I love the scent of this one!

On the First Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me...

Quick intro: Last year Tyler and I started a Christmas tradition. For each of the twelve days leading up to December 25, we exchange gifts, mostly small stuff, but a couple of big ticket items. This is a great way to extend the season and make sure each other gets everything the other wants to give them.  Now, I already told Tyler that Marge was enough of a present to last five Christmases, but nonetheless, we are continuing the tradition. So....

A MINI travel mug!

You know what I love? (Besides Tyler, of course.) My MINI Cooper Marge. You know what else I love? Coffee. You know what I was in need of? A new travel mug to keep my motor going at work.

Ta dah!

Thanks, Babe!
