5 Ways to Countdown to Christmas. Surprises Every Day!

Thanksgiving is in just a few days and then the holiday season is in full swing! Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday so the countdown for me happens somewhere in July. (I’m not joking)

Remembering my elementary school days when the teacher would have an advent calendar for the class and we all took turns opening a door, it got me to thinking how cool it would be to do that again! Turns out, I’m not the only one who thought of this. Beauty brands from all over have come up with a fun way for makeup lovers to countdown to Christmas. Here are a few to get your started!
