Obligatory First Post

Hi everyone,

     This is my first blog ever and I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Carleigh and I am a 3rd year Journalism student from University of Toronto, currently attending Centennial College. I love to read and write. I love shopping, especially for cosmetics including bath and hair products.

     I want to use this blog as a chance to share my knowledge about products and things I have tried and like. It will also be a place for my ramblings and what not. Everything that interests me will be posted here.

     I'm going to start out my blog with a countdown to Christmas. I know what you're thinking, it's November 20th. But I also know most of you are starting your Christmas shopping now, or at least I hope you are! My countdown is going to consist of things I think will make great gifts for your friends, colleagues, and loved ones. 

     I will be listing the price of each gift as well to help everyone find something that is in their budgets.This is the code I will be using to show the price-range of a gift:

($) = A good valued or inexpensive gift (a steal!).
($$) = mid-priced gift
($$$) = Splurge!

Hope it helps!
