XMAS COUNTDOWN....4 (&5)!

I was either in an airport or on a plane all day yesterday trying desperately to make it home to New Jersey from Italy in this crazy weather. My flight on Sunday was cancelled, so yesterday was my actual travel day, and it was looong.

On the plus side, my seven-hour connection wait was in Paris, so I got a chance to buy a little box of macarons from the Laduree carriage which are AMAZING and I get to keep the pretty box. I also gorged on my new forbidden favorite lunch of a whole wheat walnut -raisin baguette loaded with brie. Yummiest. Thing. Ever. Blame it on flight-cancellation-disappointment and alone-in-an-airport for seven hours comfort craving.

Anyway, now that I am home, with the parents fawning on me and sleeping in my comfy warm bed. Which reminds me of pajamas. Everyone needs a new pair of comfy pj's for Xmas, so here are two, for Countdown #4 and #5!

Victoria's Secret Sleepover flannel PJ set - love the ribbon trim!

Old Navy's Holiday Print lounge set - love the reindeer!

Tommorrow is Christmas Eve! It's a big day in my family so I may not be able to update, so Merry Christmas to all!

XMAS COUNTDOWN...4!

I had to post one of my perennial holiday favorites. What's white and red and yummy all over??

Peppermint Bark from Williams-Sonoma!! Minty chocolate goodness!

I bought the Dylan's Candy Shop version last year, but it wasn't nearly as good. The choc was way too waxy and overall a little thin. Bark is supposed to be thick and barky. Duh.

Anyway, I should be on a diet for (ever)  and also since I'm having my first wedding dress fitting in 2 weeks and haven't lost nearly as much as I hoped, but I have until June so a little Bark won't hurt, right?

I also reaalllly love:

Pep Bark COOKIES? Um, yes please.

Pep Hot Choc? Uh HUH.

And fresh marshmallows for the hot chocolate. Need I say more?

I mean really, who doesn't want a cube shaped marshmallow instead of the usual cylindrical variety?

It's the ultimate rich foodie status symbol. Why buy them for $1.19 when you can get them for $14.95?

Ok now I'm hungry.

PS LOVE THIS!

XMAS COUNTDOWN...5!

Five days til' Christmas! I'm heading home tomorrow and can not wait. Anyone need to get last minute gifts like I do? This one kills two birds with one stone (pun intended)...who doesn't love a bell jar?
