When i was growing up i vividly remember being excited to open up my "Traditional advent calendar" and when i say traditional maybe i should replace that with "old fashioned" ie there was no chocolate, no lego, no bracelet making equipment and NO BEAUTY PRODUCTS!!! can you imagine..?? (albeit when i was young it would not have crossed my mind to be excited about lipstick at that age.. sigh.) Yes it was just an old fashioned paper calendar, paper doors with a little christmas picture behind each door, with a larger Christmas picture on the 24th and i genuinly was excited over this.. how times change.
Nowadays, i start to get excited at the prosepct of my yearly beauty advent calendar in October. Boy, you really could go wild and buy way too many of these beauties every December now. It just feels so lush waking up every day and having a little new product surprise.. And every year they just get better and better. Roll on Dec 1st.. NO i dont actually mean that.. well for the calendar i do.
Someone needs to invent a reason to have a year long one of these!
