As usual, I gave my Santa a lot to work with. Too much, probably. But one thing I said that apparently stuck in their mind was my newfound love of body painting. Last March I got my first set of (cheap) body paints and I've since been posting the cool paintings I do on Instagram.

Well, I got a package from good ol' Secret Santa and what did I find when I opened it? A palette of 8 pretty pastel body paints from my fancy brand of choice, Mehron! I don't have any of these colors (especially the pinks since I used up all the pink I had for my Halloween costume) so this is a VERY welcome addition to my paints.

So, of course, I couldn't just post what I got all willy-nilly! I HAD to do a bodypaint, so behold the colorful sunset over water that I did on my chest just now. I used all the colors from the palette except for brown and green (plus a tiny bit of white and yellow from a palette I already had.) What do you think?

THANK YOU, Santa, for such a thoughtful and awesome gift. I'm going to get so much mileage out of this!

Love you!
