Since December is a much colder month, there is nothing I want more than to cuddle under my blankets and read a book. With fuzzy socks and a space heater and all!

As I've mentioned a few times, I've gone back to reading during my free time (which might explain my lack of active-ness here) and I've read a few good books this year, however Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins is my favorite read of December this year. It's such an adorable story and when I closed it, I literally hugged it and sighed. I've never done that before, ever. It was so weird. I highly suggest this book if you're in a cuddle-under-the-covers-with-fuzzy-socks mood!

A mustmustmust have for December is Softlips Sugar Cookie lip balm! I discovered this in 2007 when I was working at Six Flags. My department went in and out of the building a lot and my lips would get really chapped (I guess it didn't help that the building I was in, they required air conditioning year round). I love the way Softlips tingles your lips. Kinda like to let you know it's working but it's not a strong overpowering tingle (I tried a lip balm that had a painful tingle, I don't remember which one it was though)!

I absolutely love Sugar Cookie. Of all the Softlips flavors I've tried, Sugar Cookie is my all time favorite! I wish it wasn't seasonal, but I guess that would take the fun away. They haven't sold it in stores for the last two winters... which sucks. Softlips website is selling a holiday set right now that has I think 5 of their winter flavors. I only use the Sugar Cookie one lol.

I know Dr. Pepper isn't really a seasonal thing but I usually crave it when I'm sick. I'm not sure why, but that's pretty much how I confirm if I'm sick... I crave Dr. Pepper like crazy!

I don't usually get sick during the winter, I usually get sick during the spring and summer the most... but for some reason I've been craving Dr. Pepper all month! So yes, this year, Dr. Pepper is one of my must haves for December!

I decided to do a 12 Days of December feature where I feature 12 must haves of December. This was originally suppose to end on Christmas, but school has been keeping me busy, it's okay. The 28th is still December (and my wedding anniversary. Can you guys believe it's almost been a year since I got married?)!

My skin gets really dried out during the colder months and when I was younger, I use to always put lotion on my legs after I showered. I stopped doing that a while back because well... I'm forgetful and lazy. My husband complained that I never do it anymore so he started putting lotion on for me after I showered. It's a little odd for him to just grab my leg and put lotion on lol. But I'm touched that he cares that much.

I bought this on a whim when I was out with my sister in law. I don't really know why, since I'm not a huge fan of the scent of peppermint but I'm so glad I did! I absolutely love this scent! Not only that, but it makes my legs tingle when it's drying. It's weird, but fun!

The scent isn't that strong. But it's definitely peppermint. When it starts to fade/the next day, it smells more like peppermint marshmallows. Yum! 

I definitely have to stock up on this soon!
