New years eve this year falls on a Saturday. Honestly, 5 years ago I would have been completely beyond excited planning out trips to Mexico, San Francisco, the hottest nightclub or mansion party. Nowadays, I'm more settled and a family gal. I plan on having over a few friends over, making delicious appetizers, toasting on some delicious champagne at midnight and having some of Myras cake pops.
That's what I call a perfect new years eve.
I plan on wearing a dress found on clearance on my mark site right now. It's called: Mark putting on the Glitz dress and it's on sale for $19.99. I absolutely love how it looks. The material is flows, has glitter string sewn in and I find it suitable to bring in the new year.

Myras cake pops can be found on her website and if you are in the Los Angeles area, give her a ring at Www.bake-baby.com and order yours

Christmas trees
So, I'm going to blog on something not mark because most of you probably already did your Christmas shopping and the last thing you want to hear is more sales, reviews, etc. From me about mark. Ha!!! :)
But just in case u need last minute things for u : Click here to purchase your mark products at www.mymarkstore.com/ibarriga >
Here's about Christmas: I really hate how many of them are cut, put in homes for 5-20 days and then thrown away on 12-26th. First, they cost lots. Usually $19-$180 depending on size and type. So why not keep it up longer?
My husband and I bought a 4 1/2 footer since our space is limited to setting it on top of our counter since we have no floor space. The tree we chose cost $55 and change after a $4 stand, tax and $5 tip to the tree handler.
Our little tree was purchased on 12/16. If we were to throw it out on 12/26 we'd only have it up for 10 days. Personally, this is a pet peeve of mine: to throw a perfectly good tree out too soon. I like to throw the tree out on Jan 2nd (7 days later). Why? I like having a tree on new years eve to bring ambience to the room . Make it feel like it's still the holidays, take pics, feel festive and to extend the holiday season for as long as possible. Plus, my $55 tree gets 17 days of admiration by the lookie-looks, not just 10 sour days.
Anyhow: Check out the before and after pics below. My hubby decorated the tree with about 20 ornaments, not bad. Then I went back, added more ornaments, fairy tree topper and tree skirt. I Love Christmas trees and how they can brighten up a room during this holiday season.
How do you feel during this season while you see a tree?
Merry Christmas to all of you.
A little note: in most Latin American countries the Christmas tree is removed after Jan 6th. This is a tradition brought over from Spain. That's the day the three wise men actually made it to see Jesus and gave him his gifts. The day is the day of Epiphany. Kids leave shoes out on the 5th and on the morning of the 6th kids find presents from the Magi. (El Dia de Los Reyes Magos)
I'm not going to go as far as that though. : Click here to view this forgotten day in the USA >
