Hey guys, I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far, I have to work again today and then I am off until after Christmas. I am going to try and get all my wrapping done tonight so I can spend tomorrow working on my cupcakes and then frost them Monday so they are all ready to go early Christmas morning. I have been thinking of some things to do with the blog in the new year. I have a couple ideas for some videos an things to do. I have one old school YouTube idea but it might be hard to carry out in the end, I want to get my sisters and my niece in one place *it will be too hectic on Christmas* then do a old fashioned Q&A to see who knows me best. They would be multiple choice questions with all honest answers everyone would get a notepad to write their answers on. I already have a couple of the questions in my head already.I don't know if or when it will every be filmed but it sounds like it could be fun. Who's ready for day 22? Yesterday we got the Yellow Jewel although the back of the box says its supposed to be a red one. I guessed today would be the Dove, Katie and Tina are guessing the word Christmas. Lets see who guessed right. Its the Dove! All we have left is Santa and the word Christmas. I am guessing that the word Christmas will be tomorrow. Don't forger to leave your guess below as well as hit like on the blog post. *It doesn't actually post it to Facebook. I'm just using it to see what content people like best so if you like something on here hit like.* XO That One Girl

It's the final Friday before Christmas! To everyone who works in any type of retail; may the odds be ever in your favor this weekend, and to all of those who are out shopping this weekend remember that people in retail are people too.We only do what we are told by the company and our managers. Also remember that yes the customer is always right but that doesn't mean the customers are entitled. We are just as stressed out about this time of year as you are. Be kind to one another. DoAnother thing you can do to unwind this Pre-Christmas weekend is cozy up with a warm blanket some snacks and a warm drink and watch a Hallmark Christmas movie. I recommend "Magical Christmas Ornaments" Its about a girl who used to be obsessed with Christmas. She has sense given up on Christmas complacently. To get her back into the Christmas spirit her parents start sending her Christmas ornaments from her past. With each ornament a mysterious and unexpected thing would happen.Check it out below. Don't let the thumb nail fool you. It really is the movie I just talked about. They put the other movie on the title as click bait. Now that you have watched a cozy and corny Christmas movie and are in a happy cozy feeling lets open up door number 21. Yesterday I said I thought today's charm would be the red jewel. Tina is on team jewel and Katie thinks it will be Santa. Wait what? A yellow jewel. The back of the box clearly stated a red one.... I wonder why they would put a red one on the back and then give a yellow one. Anyway for tomorrow I am guessing the Dove. XO That One Girl
5 move days until Christmas. I hope everyone is ready. I'm relieved I don't have any last minute shopping this year. For those of you who read yesterday's blog post my dads surgery went really well. He can see but its a bit blurry for the time being. He has a doctors appointment today for a follow up we will know more on how he is doing then. I figured that these blog posts have been kinda redundant the last couple days so I decided to do a Christmas About Me to switch things up a bit. Hope you like it.
I hope you didn't just skim threw this just to see what today's charm was. I would like to think you guys check out the blog for more than just that. With that being said lets see what I got today. Yesterday I guessed it would be the Dove. Shelly is on Team Dove. Katie is desperately wanting it to be the penguin and Tina has joined Team Penguin. While Sara thinks it will be the red jewel. It's the super cute penguin! Tomorrow I am going for the red jewel. Please click like it helps be best understand which content you guys like more. I will see you guys tomorrow with another charm XO That One Girl
I really don't know what to say for this one to be honest. My dad is going in for eye surgery today. They are putting a shunt in his eye to help it drain. Then from what I am told he will go back for a separate surgery at a latter date to have a lens put in. He has counterattacks and for my whole life he has had glaucoma, If I remember right he has had 7 surgeries in one eye and 6 in the other. Fingers crossed this one helps a lot. Last night I got a head start on my Christmas wrapping. Wrapping presents is like a competition in my family.I don't think I will ever out do my dad though.That guy is a wrapping paper Guru. He can take a present and line up the design so perfect it looks like it has never been cut. Sometimes you cant even find the seams. Every year we try to out do him though haha. Enough blah blah blah lets see whats behind door number 19. Yesterday I got the candy cane. I guessed today would be the penguin. Shelly guesses it will be the dove and Katie is still dying to see the penguin but is guessing the Santa charm, Its the necklace! The chain feels quit strong. It doesn't have two lobster clasps like the bracelet. I tried it on and it fell just below my paper air plain necklace, So I would say its about 19 inches long. Tomorrow I am going to guess the Dove. Don't forget to click like and comment down below what you think the next charm will be. Only 5 days left until the final charm. XO That One Girl
I can't believe there is only 7 days until Christmas. I also cant believe that there is 2 weeks until the New Year. This year has been a roller coaster of emotions for me, I wont go into personal details because that is something I want to keep to myself. I will say that I am hoping that next year is better, only time will only tell. Today is baking day in my house. I am starting some Christmas cookies today. I am also making sure I have all of the ingredients for my Christmas cupcakes this year. Cupcakes have always been a favorite thing of mine to bake, I can't remember when the whole Christmas cupcake tradition started but I definitely wont complain. As long as people still request it I will make them, This year I am baking a first for me and making Tiramisu cupcakes. Fingers crossed I don't mess this one up. Enough about Christmas treats lets see what charm is behind door number 18. Yesterday I got the ice skate, Truth be told it wasn't really my favorite. I guessed that today would be the red jewel. While most others have decided to hybrid charms together so they can guess right. Tina guessed the candy-penguin. Shelly said the candy-penguin-dove but really wants it to be the dove. Sara rounded out the guesses with the word Christmas. Lets see if anyone got it right. It's the candy cane! I think this is cute however the back of the box shoes it in color. So far the only non jewel charm that has been in color *like the box has said* is the red and green stocking. I wonder why they haven't added color to the others. The reindeer was supposed to have a red nose and the present was supposed to have a red bow. I hope that the Santa charm does have a red had. My theory for the charms is that Santa will be day 24 and the word Christmas will be day 23, My guess for tomorrow is the penguin Charms that are left: *Santa *Dove *Penguin *Necklace *Christmas *Dove *Red Jewel Leave your guesses in the comments below. As well as hit like and share. I will be back again tomorrow with day 19. XO That One Girl
Everyday before I start the advent blog post of the day I change the countdown to Christmas sign on the right side of the blog. I premade each sign about a month ago. I made them REALLY late at night and I just now realized I skipped day 8 😂. I made them on the same day I made the Charmed Christmas banners I double checked and I have all the numbers for that so I don't have to worry. So no one needs to point it out, I know that there's 8 days until Christmas I just don't have time to make one. I have to go to the college today and fill out some paperwork. I then am going out Christmas shopping with my dad. I'm done with my shopping like I have said before, but my dad still needs to get a few things. We go Christmas shopping together each year anyway and even though I'm done I'm not bailing on tradition. How is everyone else doing with their shopping? Do you have everything you need or want to get? Or do you still need to last minute shop? Lets move on to today's charm. Yesterday I got the star, I guessed today would be the candy cane. Shelly thinks it will be the dove, Tina is on team Candy Cane and Sara thinks it will be the penguin. I should have held onto the ice skate guess for one more day haha Do you guys want to see a picture of the bracelet as it is this far or do you want me to wait until Christmas Day to reveal it? My guess for tomorrow is the red jewel. Leave your guess in the comments below and don't forget to hit like. XO That One Girl
Random question for you guys, What do you all think of the titles I have been using for this blog series? I'm a little back and forth on whether or not I actual like them. I would love your opinions so when you leave your guesses for the next charm can you please let me know if I should keep the Friends inspired titles or go in a new direction. Thank you, Last night we finally got around to decorating our tree. I really like the way it turned out this year, Its cozy. One of my favorite ornaments added this year is my new Eiffel Tower ornament that I got at the World Market. I have a small collection of Eiffel Towers and this one fits in nicely if I do say so myself. I got it as a happy early Christmas to me gift haha. What I really liked about this one is that it was on top of the world I had never seen one like this before. As soon as I saw it I knew I wasn't leaving the store without it. I'm thinking of hanging it on my wall after the new year Enough about my new ornament lets get onto today's charm. Yesterday I got the cross which I love. It has surpassed the gingerbread house as my favorite charm. It really is going to take a lot to top this one. I guessed that today would be the ice skate. Shelly is guessing it will be the dove. Tina thinks it will be the word Christmas. Katie is on my side and is guessing the ice skate and Sara is hoping for the penguin. Its the star! When was the last time anyone guessed that one? Now that I think about it has anyone guessed that one? 🤷♀️ For tomorrow I going to guess Candy Cane. Leave your guesses in the comments below. XO That One Girl
Today has been a jam packed day of shopping and cleaning, I officially have everything I need to wrap all of my presents. I feel oddly ahead of schedule normally I'm still scrambling to get everything done on Christmas Eve. As we were getting into the car this morning we saw the most beautiful hawk land in our neighbors yard. It was walking around and just looked so pretty. It chased a little bird into a bush but wasn't able to catch it. I tried getting a picture but it flew off. *Before people ask my cat doesn't go outside alone so you don't need to worry.* Today has also been full of the revival of the game Draw Something. I have been in a long battle with family and friends sense like 1 in the morning. I might not be the best artist in the family but I do have fun playing the game 😂. My longest run right now is 33 with Sara *By the way its your turn* Right now I'm curled up with a raspberry coke and a Criminal Minds marathon so lets see what is behind door number 15 before I get anymore distracted. Yesterday Shelly guessed right about the clear silver jewel. I guessed today would be the cross. Shelly and Tina are on team penguin and Sara is sticking with her guess of the necklace lets see if anyone got it right. It's the cross! I was really looking forward to this one and am not disappointed in how it looks. It is now the center of my bracelet. I will post a picture of how I have it set up tomorrow along with day 16. I think tomorrow will be the ice skate. I hope everyone is having a great weekend and I will see you all back here at 9 am tomorrow with another charm. XO That One Girl
Sorry this one is going up late there has been some glitches with the blog. First it wasn't letting me update. The only reason the Song Of The Week posted was because I had it scheduled for noon today. Then it wasn't letting anyone comment on the blog. So far it seems to be fixed. Tomorrow's post will go up in the afternoon so it gives people a little time to guess and then Sunday we will go back to regularly scheduled 9 am blogs. Yesterday we got the peace charm. Tina,Katie and I all have guessed that it has to be the red jewel. Shelly is guessing the silver jewel and Sara wanted to say the silver jewel but decided to vote for the necklace. Lets see who's right. Lets see if any of us got it right. Ok here's the thing about this one technically Shelly got this one right. On the back of the box the jewel looks silver I literally didn't expect it to be clear. Sorry the bottom picture is so unclear the cat kept trying to play with it so I had to take a picture fast. The comments are officially working now. If you would like to play along and guess what tomorrows will be leave a comment below. I think the next one will be the cross. I'm still waiting for that one to pop up. XO That One Girl
I have been sat at my laptop for about an hour now intending to write this blog post. First a commercial for Once Upon A Deadpool came on and I got to talking about it with a couple people. Which then turned into "When in March does Captain Marvel come out?" after a few YouTube videos it turned into me wondering "When is the Spider-Man Far From Home trailer coming out?" Then I started watching a bunch of random videos with the cast of Spider-Man. Which then turned into fan theory videos on Avengers End Game, and now were here. (Side note Katie you and I have to go see Dark Phoenix together when it comes out) Lets get on to today's charm. Yesterday we got the Christmas tree. I guessed that today would be the Dove. Shelly guessed it will be the star, Tina is guessing candy cane. Sara really wants it to be thw word Peace and Katie thinks it will be the red jewel. Sara stuck with it until it was found. We got the word Peace. I think Katie is on to something and we haven't had a jewel in a while. I'm guessing tomorrow will be the red jewel. If you would like to guess tomorrows charm an updated version is posted below. XO That One Girl
