So in the “final” 12 Days of Kaelamas post I said I didn’t wanna write about what I got for Christmas…buuuuut I changed my mind haha. I received so many amazing gifts this year and I really wanted to do them justice, share them all and write about everything. So this is, I guess, the epilogue to the 12 Days of Kaelamas series – everything I got for Christmas! I divided it into a few categories to break it up a bit. My friends and family seriously spoiled me this year, I am so grateful and happy with all of…

Meet Teddy!
If you follow me anywhere else online, I’m sure you’ve seen pics of the new addition to our family, and I’m so excited to tell you all about him now!! This is Teddy, my new pup! First, some background info. I’ve been wanting to get a dog basically ever since I moved to Florida, way back in 2013. I had had dogs my whole life and I missed my pups back home so much, but the timing was never quite right. Once we moved to a new place at the end of 2015, it finally seemed like the right time.…

What I Gave For Christmas
First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Sorry about the delay in posts, my family has been in town the past few days and we’ve been running around like crazy hanging out with them and moving to our new home. But I hope that if you celebrate Christmas, you had a lovely time and maybe even got some fun gifts 😀 For my final post of the 12 Days of Kaelamas, I was really struggling to decide what to write about. I thought about doing a “what I got for Christmas” post, but I’m always afraid that comes off as kinda braggy and I…

Target Beauty Box December 2016
Happy Christmas Eve Eve!!! Like I mentioned in my Sephora box post, that box and this one arrived on the same day…it was a great mail day for me!! This is the December 2016 Target Beauty Box, and it’s really a treat – there’s a ton of great stuff in here!! Target boxes are different from other subscription boxes in that they aren’t actually a subscription – you have to remember to go on and order it each month. Well, I actually didn’t remember to do that so I originally missed out on this one and I was SO bummed…

How to Make it Feel Like Christmas in Florida
It can be hard to feel festive around Christmas when you live in a place where it’s only snowed 16 times this century. We probably won’t ever have a white Christmas here, but there are lots of ways to make it feel Christmasy without the snow! Today for the 12 Days of Kaelamas, I’m sharing how to make it feel Christmasy even when it’s 80 degrees out 😉 thanks to my manager for giving me the idea for this post hahaha 1. TONS of decorations Obviously one of the easiest ways to make it feel Christmasy is to…

Sephora Play! December 2016
This weekend I came home from work to find TWO beautiful surprises in the mail – my Target Beauty Box AND my Sephora Play! box!! I’ll review the Target one in a separate post, but today I’m talking about the Sephora box for December 🙂 The theme this month is “The Partygoers”, so there’s lots of cute products perfect for a holiday party! I’m always excited to get my Sephora box, but when I saw the spoilers for this month’s box I knew it was going to be a good one!! I was excited about every product in this box, and I…

Disney Yuletide Fantasy Tour Review
A note from future Kaela: this has unexpectedly turned into one of my most popular blog posts! I’ve gone back and updated some links from posts that I wrote after this so don’t be thrown off by the dates on everything. Hope you enjoy this Christmasy tour review! — Yesterday Chris and I got to do something really cool and fun, and VERY Christmasy, and I figured it would make a perfect addition to the 12 Days of Kaelamas 🙂 we did Walt Disney World’s Yuletide Fantasy Tour! Yuletide Fantasy is a tour that isn’t really talked about a lot. The…

Christmas Tree Inspiration
One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is Christmas trees. Someday I want a house in which I just have a different Christmas tree in every room. There are so many beautiful possibilities and fun things to decorate with!! I’ve been taking photos of some of my favorite trees at Walt Disney World for inspiration and also collecting pics of any cute ones I see on instagram or elsewhere. Maybe someday I’ll have all of these in my home… Epcot, entrance to World Showcase – decorated with flags and greetings from each country in World Showcase. Simple, yet classy with perfect themed ornaments! Classic…

Epcot Holidays Around the World 2016
Epcot is my favorite park on a good day, so I’m especially partial to it during the holidays. It’s by far the park with the most decorations imo – the decorating doesn’t stop at the front of the park, it continues into every country in World Showcase too! This year they also have many special holiday treats for the Holidays Around the World. Similar to the Food & Wine festival, we went around sampling lots of different things and I thought it would make a great post for the 12 Days of Kaelamas! The first thing we noticed was that there aren’t as…
