You're Welcome

After we've eaten our weight in cookies, drank a lot of some wine, and spent time with our families, we decided to give our loyal followers a belated Christmas gift. So because you guys are so great, below is a video of us in 10 years. We can hear Sarah saying her ever-so-famous-quote..."There's a 99% chance I'm never getting married." 

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, friends! We hope you're enjoying the day with friends, family, and lots of cookies! The #25Hoes are spending the day with their families. Right now we're all eating, drinking poinsettia cocktails :), eating some more, laughing, and trying to take a good picture. Except Clare. Clare is trying to convince her family that she needs a niece. You got it Clare Bear!

In case you need some help getting into the Christmas spirit, watch/listen to this video. Katie has been singing "Rudolf das kleine Rentier" (Rudolf the Reindeer) NON-STOP for the past couple months. Maybe now she'll stop singing it, but don't get your hopes up.

Secret Santa: Part Two

It's part two of our Secret Santa tradition! Last week during Finals Week we exchanged gifts with our friends/neighbors. We've all been friends since freshmen year so it was bittersweet that this was our last Secret Santa, as college students that is. As usual, there were a lot of laughs, a lot of picture taking, snuggles, and reminiscing about old times. So glad to have a break from studying with these girls!

Wrapping gifts and getting ready!

Sarah started us off and gave out her gift first

Nico's pumped over her new toys for Bailey

They're laughing because Lil B works at Bath & Body. Clare had asked Lil Bif she
had an extra bag she could use. Lil B said "Of course! Here's a coupon for
them too!" Little did she know she'd  get the bag (and coupon) right back.

Michelle has been wanting the Veggetti FOREVER. Plus she loves that mascara :)

Bucket List #15

Put Up Christmas Decorations

This Bucket List item is long overdue! Because we've been wrapping up our fall semester, we have barely had time to breathe let alone decorate. But, leave it to the #25Hoes to follow through! We gathered materials from our own homes as well as grabbing some essentials from nearby stores.

Awesome deals we snagged:

1. Sparkly stockings from Dollar Tree

(who doesn't love sparkles?!)

2. Mini Christmas tree with white lights

3. Red bows used as ornaments

4. $1 wrapping paper as wall art

5. Creative stocking holders that have dual purpose

Okay, okay enough talking. Take a peek inside our home!

Michelle's Adventure with Dry Shampoo

So Michelle had her first experience with dry shampoo this morning!

Michelle needed to freshen up her mane before we had to cheer at a basketball game today. So she asked to borrow some dry shampoo from the roomies to achieve her fresh-out-the-shower look. At first she immediately turned into a grandma with gray hair, but with practice she'll be a pro soon!
