Howzit, ladies? T-minus four hours until Saint Nick arrives! 
Hasn’t time just zipped by in a flash?
Yesterday I went for a run around the neighborhood here to 1) work on my rapidly declining fitness and 2) to check out the local Christmas decorations.
They’re pretty much the same as what you would find on the mainland — Santas, reindeer, Christmas lights — but it’s kinda funny to see snowmen and Christmas lights in yards with palm trees and hibiscus flowers.
This afternoon, I’m gonna try to head to Waikiki, braving the traffic and last-minute shoppers. I’ve heard that some of the hotels down there go all out with their Christmas decorations. If time permits, I may attempt to demonstrate the proper way to fall off a surfboard (ungracefully, ideally after two seconds).
Before that, I think it’s time for another giveaway!
The prize
One lucky lady will win Bobbi Brown’s Velvet Plum Eye Palette (a $40 value), a limited edition holiday eyeshadow palette with four versatile eyeshadows perfect for business meetings or drinks after work.
The shades…
- Bone: off white

I love how these colors POP! without going too far.

I already have everything I could ever want for Christmas this year-my family, friends, food, a warm home, presents, and of course my PS2 and permission to play video games all day! But I also wouldn’t mind getting the new Alice in Wonderland Urban Decay Palette and some of the Warm & Cozy MAC collection ;P
Still looking for that pony…I never physically outgrew them.
A new bag is what I need!
A vacation to Disney World would be wonderful!!
Always wishing for something sparkly!
A chunk of money to help get back on my feet. -_- Other than that, a new mattress would be awesome.
Or perhaps this palette?
Haha I really wanted a new laptop….and I got it!
Merry Christmas Karen!
The one thing i wanted most for Christmas was to be with my family.
Those look like perfect daily colors. LOVE the black at the end, I am dying to get my smudgey brush all over it and use it as a littlebitmessy, sheer liner.
I have everything I could ever want, but my dream Christmas wish would be to get to see my boyfriend and my family that lives out of town!
Me and my family don’t care what we get for christmas we just enjoy each others company and enjoy my moms cooking =)
What I really want this christmas is enough sleep, rest, and a long luxurious massage!
I want no awkward family moments or fights to break out
the latter didn’t happen, but this year’s Christmas was the most awkward yet D:
what i want most for xmas is a happy 2010 for my family and new jobs for my bf and myself since we were both casualties of the recession this year. especially my poor bf who got laid off right before the holidays! we’re having a meager xmas this year, but we have each other and a lot of love and that’s more than enough.
the thing I want is kinda weird. I actually saw it on QVC. It a full length mirror that opens to be a huge jewelry box. Me likey
I wanted a gorgeous daisy charm from tiffany’s-which was the first thing I opened this morning!:)
ooh i want an ipod
I want love, happiness, and peace on Earth. That is all.
PEACE, LOVE, AND………………………..A CLARISONIC!
love BB!
quiet…:D
Love the color choices!!!!!!!!
i want this!! …and uh…for everyone to be happy.
.-= Jenny’s last blog post… Thought this moment would never come. =-.
The one thing I wanted the most for this christmas was the sand & sea palette by Estee Lauder. I didn’t get it
Sounds funny but what I want most for Christmas is to hear from my oldest son who has been away from home since Aug. 2009!!!
i want my family to be happy and healthy in this upcoming year. =))
I want to relax
I would love a new ipod and a gps for xmas! Two things that go great together in the car!
Since I’ve been shopping for myself a lot lately I’ll have to go with happiness for my friends and family. I don’t need any material goods this xmas!
I would love a new cell phone since mine is breaking and scratched.
I want all of my family and friends to be happy and healthy for Christmas but a little Bobbi Brown would be a nice gift in addition to that! Hope you had a great holiday Karen and everyone else!!
a new camera!
Well, throwing out all my sappy answers of “happiness and health for everyone,” “world peace,” etc., I’m really excited that I got a netbook for Christmakkah (yes, it’s Christmakkah in my family).
Like everyone else I wish for the health and happiness of my family and friends. But selfishly I wish that I can finish my studies by next christmas
I wanted a pair of red shearling lined LL Bean moccasins so bad for Christmas. And I got them! My feet are now so toasty and warm, just like my heart. awwwwwww……
I wanted a laptop…didnt happen.
but whatevs.
The thing I want most is to see my family for Christmas.
Health and happiness to all my love ones.
i want a boyfriend for xmas lol
I want my baby boy to have a wonderful childhood.. And a Tokidoki bad wouldn’t hurt either.. Hehehe.. Merry Christmas Karen! ^_^
