I've wanted to start a food blog for years but never found the time, but this year I decided to just go ahead and jump in. But that doesn't mean I still don't love Cinnamon Kitten! It just...

My December Glymm Box

noreply@blogger.com (~Cinnamon Kitten~) — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 05:38:00 +0000

This past month I've had a lot of parcels arriving on my doorstep due to all the online shopping I've been doing for the holidays. But when my hubby texted me that there was "another pink box" waiting for me at home, I was still pretty excited. Last month's Glymm box was one of my favourites, so I was anxious to see what was inside. Since I love my lip products so much, if there's a lipstick or lip gloss in the box, I'm usually instantly happy. Although this month seemed a little emptier...
