I'm going to add a bit of backstory to this before hand, I've been having a very rough year. I'm working a job with long hours while going to school full time and sometimes have had trouble making ends meet. In the past few months alone, the only day off from work or school that wasn't because of illness was Thanksgiving and one other day and there have been some things going on with my family.

So coming home and finding this stream of gifts as they arrive has been both exciting and the best de-stresser I've had in a while.

First came the Cardboard VR Glasses and Cards Against Humanity, both of which I'm super excited to use! Then came the Eat, Sleep, Theatre shirt.

I had thought that had been the end of it and had been getting ready to post everything up after I got home today when I got a text from my building manager saying I had another package. I wasn't sure what to expect when I got home, and was delighted/surprised to find that it was another gift from my Santa.

And then I opened it. In the box was a stack of beautifully wrapped presents with a gorgeous maroon ribbon (that is probably going to be turning into a hair accessory now, so double thanks for that, Santa!) And in that wrapping was so. Much. Makeup. I love makeup, it's one of my biggest happy places. First, in the smallest package, was a trio of Too Faced lipsticks with a small, glittery bag. Then there was the Too Faced La Petite Maison palette. And last, but definitely not least, was the BareMinerals makeup bag with various goodies. Maybe it was because the past week has been one of the roughest I've had in a while, maybe it's because the stress of finals got to me, or maybe it was just because I wasn't expecting this much kindness from a total stranger, but I couldn't help but start crying happy tears.

So thank you, Santa. You've made a high stress, really rough period just a little bit better and I appreciate it so much! (And I can't wait to rock some of this makeup tomorrow for work!)
