(Crikey I can’t believe I am divulging all of my secrets, but if one of you guys get any combination of these gifts (or one of these gifts), I’m sorry but hey at least you got a gift. =D)
Call me Scrooge but yes, I am dreaming of a cheap Christmas.
Now, on with the show, cheap Christmas gift ideas starting at $2 dollars and up.
Omg. I can’t believe I am not done with my Christmas shopping. Must get to it before all the sales end…

I know that in times like this society places a seemingly high standard on beauty, models that are larger than a size four get terminated from their posts. Definitely a bittersweet story. I on the other hand totally concur that reaching those lofty heights of beauty is somewhat unnatural, but being a savvy shopper, discounts are meant to be published. After all, it’s all in the name.

“Another Oculoplastic specialist insisted that I had to have surgery to correct my abnormal eyelid position but I was scared because he told me that it was only 50% that I would look normal even though he claimed he did more of these surgeries than anyone in LA. Dr. Liu told me that we could try a non-surgical approach, something that no one else had ever mentioned to me. Not only was it much safer than surgery, it gave me the result I wanted; Dr. Liu not only alleviated my fears of looking deformed but his creative approach made me look great! Thank you Dr. Liu!”
