I was so thrilled to get my package last week but its been such a crazy week I havent had time to post yet.

My Santa saw that I love r/MakeupAddiction and gave me a $20 Sephora gift card (!!!) which was exciting. I just became a rouge member so I definitely will be spending more time at Sephora in the near future.

I also received two books. Haruki Murakami's 1Q84 which looks really interesting and is definitely going on the top of my books to read pile. The other part was a little confusing because in Santa's letter he mentioned giving me Electric Boogaloo and the way it was described sounded really great. However in my package I got The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (not pictured because I already leant it to my mom) which truly is a wonderful book that I've had the pleasure of reading.

To my Santa: thank you so much for your lovely letter. I can't recall the last time I got a handwritten letter and it was really exciting to learn about you and your thought process in the gift selection. I really hope your friend recovers quickly, and is lucky to have a friend like you by his side. Having a strong group of people near me really made all the difference when it came to my outlook on my healing (mentally, spiritually, and physically). I've never been to Seattle but I imagine it to be the SF of the north as well and hope to one day have the pleasure of visiting and drinking its fine juices and coffee. I hope you have a great new year and that your studies go well :)
