Yo,
I've been meaning to do a christmas haul post and I finally I got around doing it. My christmas was the usual, we wake up early in the morning to carry the tree inside and then proceed to decorate it. I'm in charge of the ornaments and my dad takes care of the lights and the tree top star. After that we eat our xmas porridge and get dressed in order to take candles to the graves of our relatives, or at least that was our tradition up until this year. As I mentioned earlier, our family has a new baby in the house, so instead of our usual graveyard trip, I went for a long walk in the fields with her. Sadly our christmas wasn't exactly white so we ended up soaking wet. After arriving home, I cooked our traditional meal, and opening presents followed after. Be warned, this post'll be picture heavy, so forgive me.







I had to include two pictures since I got a buttload of stuff. These picture include stuff I got from my family, my friends and myself. In the top part of the picture, most of the things are from my other best friend and her mother. Her mother gave me the Japanese Galpo-chocolates seen on the left and the lavalamp-like small usb-connected glitterlamp on the right. My friend then got me a bunch of hair/body produce, as in 
A tropical mango shower gel from Born to Bio
A little bottle of Achillea conditioner for hair
A little bottle ofRice proteins and oligoelements shampoo
and
A small sample bottle of Schwarzkopfs BC Bonacure hairtherapy Oil miracle.
You can see them in front of the black and white toiletry bag. Right next to them is a iPhone case my friend got me, in HelloKitty design. I totally love all of these, and the case is currently on my phone. It's so adorably cute. But the biggest and most loveliest thing my BFF got me is the
Killstar Go to Hell sweatshirt ( you can find it here ). 
I took a better picture of it, as seen below

It's absolutely gorgeous, look at it! I love Killstar fashion, it's so edgy. I've been dreaming of getting my own sweatshirt, and now that I have it, I'm literally stoked. Goes well with my own fashion sense too.
I still got one thing from my other best friend, which is the black faux leather bag seen on the second picture on the left corner ( she also got me a bag of organic chocolate covered nuts and a phone pocket but I ate the candies and forgot to take a picture of the pocket :D ). I adore this bag from heaven to earth, it fits me so well.


Look addit. Oh god its perf. It has small skull buttons all over the front, and fringes and its black leather, what more can I ask for. I've been abuse-using it with everything I wear, and I ain't ashamed of it. I'm not exactly sure where it's from, I think it's Pieces of Accessorize. Either way, love love love it.

Well, I think that should cover what I got from my friends. Next up, family. My father promised to order me the full set of Mortal Instruments books in English and pre-order the one that's releasing in May, and so he did. Sadly they have yet to arrive, but I am a patient woman ( no I am not ). He then also got me this freaking huge sock thing that heats up electrically and fits in both of my feet. It's totally awesome and good for me, since I have like no blood circulation in my feet at all ( thank you diabetes you are surely loved ). I use it every night when in bed, so I wont get cramps and whatnot. Dad's bad at buying stuff for me, he usually saves the best for my birthdays, but these things he got me made me happy.

Most of this haul is from my mom. You can see a vague mat of white and pink in the right corner of the first picture, right? It's a fuzzy bathrobe! I tend to lose these or well.. Destroy them by coloring my hair wearing them, and now that those days are over she got me a new one!
Bad pictures are bad.
Theeere it is. In all its fuzziness and glory. I really like it, it keeps me warm, even as we speak. I just had to include a better picture, since I couldn't fit all the stuff in two of the pictures above.
Then there's the obvious hair straightener in front of the second picture. I had to get one of these, since I had been living on a small travel sized one that heated up all around the iron and I couldn't even hold it up.. I occasionally used my best friends iron that's like top quality but eventually she took it back and I had to figure what to do. Then my dearest mother bought me this Remington Sleek&Curl straightener that can be used as a curler as well! It's amazing, it doesn't really hurt my hair at all, it eliminates frizz AND it does beautiful curls. What I expect from a curler is that it heats up to 230 degrees and has round edges, so that you can curl with it too. This straightener surely delivered! And if that wasn't all, she got me a gift set of Biotherm Skincare products and a Loverdose Tattoo by Diesel fragrance giftset.


Here you can see that the Loverdose tattoo set had a perfume bottle, a shower cream and a lotion in it. It's a pretty heavy perfume, containing floral scents as well as liquorice in it. At first I was suspicious since I really hate the scent of liquorice in, well, anything, but it's not THAT overpowering. I came to love this scent eventually and now I use it all the time. In the Biotherm box there was a deep moisturizing cream, a facewash and a toner, which I always need. They really do cleanse the skin perfectly, I've used Biotherm before and it takes care of all the spots ( best wishes, a girl who never had any zits, even as a teenager ). I warmly recommend it to all my readers!
  


That's all I got from my parents. They got me a heap of stuff, and I only always get them like 1 or 2 things.. I saved up some money for the after Christmas sales in order to get me some necessities, which were the dressing gown ( from Lindex ) that's in the front of the first picture, a black and white toiletry bag (Lindex again ) that's behind the hair products my friend gave me, and a black and gold makeup bag ( from Seppälä ). Together these three cost me 31 euro, so they weren't that expensive.

Closer look to the dressing gown.

That's pretty much all I got for my Christmas, and it's a real haul. I thought about doing this earlier, but this was the earliest I could come over to my tabletop computer ( it contains all my pictures ). I'm happy about everything I got, and really grateful for getting so many things this year, even if I feel like I haven't been nice at all, heh.

Oh, it's past 12 PM again, and I have to be up in like five hours.. God, this blogging really gets me carried away. I hope you enjoyed my Christmas haul, have a nice day/night/evening/whatever everybody!
