I don’t know about you guys but Christmas this year was pretty awesome! Great food, family and yes, PRESENTS! I’m completed overwhelmed by how awesome my family is! I received some great gifts this year. Actually, I always get awesome gifts (I’m spoiled!). I thought it would be fun to do a Christmas haul for you guys.
Lady Marielle’s Christmas Haul
I woke up early on Christmas day. My sister and I made a feast for the family.
I also made a turkey for the first time, and it turned out fantastic!!!! No lie! I’m BOSS in the kitchen!
What I got for Christmas
The hubby got me a selfie stick with a stand. That will be useful when I want to do YouTube using my cell phone. He also got me paint (stay tune for the blog post behind that gift).
My sister got me Lush product. I’ve wanted to try Lush products since they opened a store in Montreal a few years ago. She got me two bath bombs that smell absolutely amazing! I’m thinking of doing a video on how it fizz up for you guys to see! She also got me a faux sheepskin carpet for when I take product pictures.
I got pj’s from my MIL. An owl ornament from the grandma with the white hair and some mullah from Uncle Rene.
I’m just so happy with everything that I got.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday!
I love to hear from you guys. What did you get for Christmas?
Don’t forget to subscribe to my blog. I have a fun post coming up about one of the Christmas gifts that I got; you don’t want to miss it!

The selfie stick is going to be helpful. I cannot wait to see what you do with the paint if you do a post on how to use the stick for videos I would love that. I use it for pics but not for videos. Merry Christmas
Colette S says
Ooh you definitely have the haul. I was wonderng how to get my phone steady for videos. Now that you mention the selfie stick, I might wish for one.
What a lovely family photo!
Glad you had a wonderful time with your family.

I love bath bombs–have tried many over the years-they are so relaxing. I have never tried the Lush brand–maybe I’ll get myself a present.

Looks like you guys had a wonderful Christmas!
We went very simplistic this year. We got the kids something they wanted, something they needed, something to wear and something to read. We head out in a couple of days for our family vacation so we decided to give the kids experiences instead of stuff.

Nothing special here at my house for Christmas I was glad to be home for the Holiday. Usually I am working. I took the time to visit friends and families. The selfie stick will come in handy use quite a bit for me. You had a wonderful Christmas love the family photo.
