Ringing in the New Year with Avon Bling

Ringing in the New Year with Avon Bling

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and if you celebrated Christmas you and yours had a very merry one.  Can you believe that in less than a week, we will be entering a New Year – 2016!

I can’t remember the last time that hubby and I went out on New Year’s Eve, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t like to wear a little bling to ring it in and of course have a glass of bubbly too.

There are, however, a few other New Year’s Eve traditions that I have which include:

  1.  making sure all the clothes in the house are clean;
  2. Collard Greens and Black Eye Peas are cooking on the stove;
  3. Fried Chicken Wings are prepared but most importantly;
  4. at midnight we are all on our knees in prayer.

Since I am home and not out partying I’m usually wearing a big comfy sweater with leggings, both of which provide great comfort while eating and drinking and of course watching The Twilight Zone  marathon on the Syfy channel.  

This year along with these comfy clothes I will also be accessorizing my outfit with a few Pretty Party Pick pieces from Avon.

Winter Wash with Purex

Winter Wash with Purex #Cartwheel #Coupon

What are some of your New Year’s Eve traditions?  Mine include cooking black eye peas, collard greens and frying chicken wings.  I also watch the Twilight Zone marathon, trying not to fall asleep during the wee hours because that’s when the best episodes air.  Kneeling in prayer with hubby and sons then having one of them enter the front door with money in their pocket is another tradition.  

I also make sure that there aren’t any dirty clothes in the house so I have to start washing early in the day.  In addition to washing clothes, I also take down curtains and clean the sofa throws.  It’s like doing a mini Spring clean so it’s important that I have enough detergent on hand.
