Happy birthday, buddy! Don’t worry, I won’t make you twerk :)! 😘

Thank you! I was hoping since my birthday, you’d be the one twerking for me

Christmas comes but once a year...

Under the cut are (super on time, sorry!) Christmas treats for @butlergerry, @deltslea, @dormernatali, @roerigz​, @scarlettjohansssn, @shaiwoodleybv, @charliehmn, @residentgoober, @stefigerm, @bjamesjr, @apopple, @xolively & @vancityryan

~Merry Christmas!~

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

I’m especially grateful for each and every one of you this year - old friends and new - and I hope you have a happy, healthy and celebratory holiday with your families this year. Thank you for welcoming me back with open arms, and including me in your families of choice. Stay cozied up and warm with this hot chocolate kit, and use it to help wash down some homemade cozonac bread - a Romanian specialty - and the blame for my expanding Christmas waistline. 

Though a lot of things have changed over the years, and I may have been MIA for a few of them - some things stay the same. I wasn’t raised with much, and feel that we all have so much... I hope you all enjoy my preferred version of Christmas giving - something homemade and from the heart, and something to put good out into the world for those who aren’t as breathtakingly lucky as the rest of us. 

Lots of love,

Sebastian

For my new mate, @charliehmn, helping five male refugees not only receive job and skills prep to join the workforce in their new homes, but vital supplies to get them through the first few weeks so they can provide for their families

For my moonbeam kid sister, @shaiwoodleybv​ and the woman who can - and maybe should - kick my ass on the reg, @scarlettjohansssn​, the gift of each of you sending ten girls to school for an entire year in areas like Afghanistan, the Congo and Lebanon

For the couples that not only redefine what successful, supportive marriages look like - @bjamesjr​ and @apopple​, @xolively​ and @vancityryan​, and @residentgoober​ and @stefigerm​ - but you all make very cute kids to boot, a vitally important baby incubator donated in each of your names to under-resourced hospitals in Africa and Asia. Each incubator on average will save hundreds of premature babies’ lives in these areas for loving parents like you all.

For the unofficial Mayor of Bayview, and the guy who always has a plan, or at least fakes it like nobody’s business @butlergerry​, a water distribution and sanitation station for rural tribes who cannot source it themselves - needless to say, a vital part of the rebuilding and vitality efforts and something we take for granted. As someone who does a lot for those around them on their own, I wanted to shine that light a little brighter where I could. 

For the strongest and most inspiriting woman around, @deltslea​, there isn’t a way to bottle up your special magic, but providing small business training for five women in places like Liberia, where market-savvy women are often natural entrepreneurs who generate income for their families and lift the fortunes of entire communities. Sort of like the way you lift up the rest of us, doll.

For the fiercest and defacto-everyone’s mom, @dormernatali​, as someone who has brought their own family together to create something beautiful, my favorite gift this year of reuniting five refugee families who have been separated during a crisis, migration or other natural disaster across Africa and the Middle East. Because of you, five families are going to find each other in this crazy world to begin healing and thriving. 

For my brother, @roerigz​. A lot has changed, for us as men on our own, and between the two of us as friends. Family again someday, hopefully. Though I have some regrets, coming back home and, admittedly not easy, but having the chance to work on things together - metaphorically, but also kind of literally soon enough - will never be one of them. I wanted to get you a few goofy things, because, you know, Christmas - like this shirt - but the wood brand is something I thought you might like to design for yourself to sign your work. It’s beautiful, and deserves to bear the Roerig name, or Windsong’s, if you wanted. Your affinity for fat, happy, healthy babies is something I’ve learned to start appreciating over the years too, but one that I started learning from yours. In light of that, your real gift of four mobile clinics - Gracie’s Clinic, Jason’s Clinic, Harper’s Clinic and Ryan’s Clinic - which will serve across southeastern Asia and Africa, to have there be more fat, happy babies in the world because of you all.

The Alpha Team's resident goofball: Krelien 😀 ~~ A self-described “ray of moonshine”, Krelien brings equal doses of laughter and frustration to those around him every single day. As if he’s been stuck at the age of twelve, he finds stupid things funny, and latches onto whatever sounds like it’ll make people think he’s cool and “with the timex”. He’s seventy-percent sure that most of the team likes him, and ninety-percent sure that Ar’on doesn’t, and sixty-percent sure that Jen would rather hang out with him over anyone else on the team, and ten percent sure he isn’t good at math. ~~~ Krelien is a quick favorite, and tends to top the leaderboard for the beta readers more often than not. He's definitely super fun to write for, and I laugh at his commentary throughout my life (just the other day I could hear him screaming about baby gates and how to get around them). You can check out his character sheet here: http://bitly.ws/gGNo ~~~~ #goofball #residentgoober #myfavoritegoober #theriseoftheraidin #thehumanbornera #characterintroduction #character_design #charactersketch #charactersheet #yafantasy #yafantasyauthor #fantasybooks #book1 #amwriting #writingcommunity #authorsofinstagram #authorscommunity #authors #bookishfeatures #winterrelease #krelien #jumper #longlivekrelien https://www.instagram.com/p/CUX29qpF6gY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Christmas is too sparkly

- said no one ever

For @zaynsalamb

For my very bestest friend, I had the mug made! Maybe someday we can come up with a better design but it was pretty last minute this time around. I wanted you to have it for Christmas though because truer words have never been spoken. I also got you this fancy, personalized planner. It has space to plan out everything you need from flowers, to seating arrangements even a day of checklist so nothing gets left behind. And of course, your very own Christmas cupcakes that you don’t have to share with anyone (ok, maybe Harry!). 

I love you friend, and I am so happy that this year has brought you so much joy. I hope you and Harry have a very Merry Christmas and that 2018 brings you everything you’ve ever dreamed and more. 

Love, Brie. 

For @butlergerry (+Gaelyn)

Powered by Coffee, 365, 24/7. The shirt seemed to precise to pass up! And the cupcakes, of course - espresso flavored because you didn’t get any coffee this year (weird, right?) so I figured they were a pretty close runner up. The helmet is for Gaelyn and her new bike! You can wear it too if you like, but I’m not sure it will fit right! And lastly, you didn’t think I’d let this whole spa thing just roll on by did you? Now that I know this little tidbit about you, I thought I’d treat you to very own, at home, spa treatment. 

Thank you for being my friend for one whole year! I hope there’s many more to come but in the meantime, I’m wishing you and that perfect little angel of yours the very merriest of Christmases and an unforgettable 2018! 

Love, Brie.

For @deltslea

My partner, my friend, I hope your Christmas is filled with all the magic and joy the universe can hold - I’m looking forward to another year of laughing, creating and believing with you! May 2018 be the best you’ve ever had! 

I saw this print and immediately thought of the many conversations we’ve had about the importance of kindness and I thought it was a nice reminder that it all starts with being kind to ourselves. The cupcake bath bombs just smelled yummy and I thought someone amazing deserved them, so obviously, you came to mind first! The bracelet also reminded me of you - I love the message but I also love watching you work and hearing you perform, so never, ever stop singing you song! And lastly, given the chaos that is our world, a day planner always come in handy but this one is not only (almost) as pretty as you, but sets the tone for whats to come right from the start! Merry Christmas, my friend!

For @residentgoober, @dempjoe, @signofharryedwardstyles, @roerigz, @skarsgardb, @xolively, @oneforhoran, @apopple & @bjamesjr, @taylorkitcsh & @roberttsemma and @edwardhardy & @elisabetholsan

There are three things I think about when Christmastime rolls around: 1) sweets. 2) my amazing friends 3) the importance of giving. So for all of you, I’ve included some homemade gingerbread cupcakes along with a small token of my appreciation that is very near and dear to my heart. 

The Giving Keys was started by a very special friend of mine who saw a need and wanted to approach a solution in a whole new way. The company employees men and women who are transitioning from homelessness - each key is hand stamped and put together by someone who has faced a great deal of struggles and is working hard to get back on their feet. Each key is stamped with a one of a number of phrases (I have chosen ‘Believe’, given the season). The hope is, is that each time you wear it, you will be reminded to believe in yourself, to believe in others, to believe in magic. And if, by chance, you come across someone who you feel needs those thoughts a little bit more than you do, pay it forward and pass it along. With any luck, we can spread the message everywhere! 

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that 2018 is as good to you as you have been to me! 

Love, Brie.

Congrats on the new album, Taylor!!

Darren, thank you so much! Means a lot coming from you, buddy.

[stefigerm]

Darren,

We’ve been together for the past three Valentine’s Days. Do you know how much clearance chocolate we’ve bought together over those four years? Yeah, I can’t even imagine that number, either. You’re going to get spoiled today since you spoil me every other day of the year with these matching Egyptian cotton robes and a nice, warm, bubble bath together later tonight — maybe you can even slip into those adorable boxers, too.

But before any of those shenanigans can happen tonight you’re going to need your energy to keep up with everything (and I’m not talking about the relaxing bath) so I thought these cute heart shaped house items would be good for the both of us. You know we’re adults when we buy practical — but cute — items for the house on holidays. Don’t even think about getting out of bed this morning because you’re getting a breakfast in bed with heart shaped eggs and waffles with all the fruit and whipped cream you can imagine. Why should you have to choose between eggs and waffles?! 

Then later on tonight with the bath we can indulge in these chocolate covered strawberries with a nice bottle of red wine in the tub. After everything that you’ve done for me these past three, almost four, years you deserve all of this and more, baby. I love you so damn much. 

And thank you for putting up with my crazy ass.

Your Valentine,                          Stef

Ah it may be a little late but here we go. Daniel is not very good at buying gifts. But this year he at least tried. So he got gifts for two of the people who welcomed him with open arms and an old friend. @ecxwatsonbv​ | @groffsaucebview​ | @residentgoober​

For Emma: 

After years of friendship, I have given you everything under the sun. But this year I went back to the roots. I got you this Hermione doll to remind you of the character so many people love. And a Gryffindor necklace because come on, we still have to represent our house. Love you, bud.

For Darren:

One thing that will always link us is where we first started. And luckily for us it’s the same fandom; Harry Potter. So the gifts I got you didn’t take long for me to find. I got you a shirt with the Gryffindor logo and a funko pop of yours truly. I am happy we can finally chill and form an even stronger friendship. 

And finally, Jonathan: 

Meeting you was a very pleasant thing this year. And now that we both live in Bayview I look forward to getting to know you some more. As a gift I got you your own crown and a small little Hedwig to guide you through the winter darkness.

Happy birthday @residentgoober

First of all, we’ve discussed many times how one can never have too many fuzzy blankets. Especially with all this snow we’ve been getting recently. This just so happens to be one of my favorite and warmest blankets I’ve found. I also managed to come across a nice and cozy blanket hoodie that’s perfect for curling up on the couch with the family for a movie night or something. And last but not least, I found a cute vintage looking Mickey shirt. I figured it would be perfect for you to wear whenever we take our trip down to Disney World sometime this spring! I love you, dude and I hope you have the best birthday ever!

For the cast and crew of A Place For Us (@bjamesjr, @residentgoober, @butlergerry, @ijlaw, @mcjamesavoy), 

Bradley, I don’t think anyone else could have taken what was inside our heads and brought it to life as amazingly as you did - every single character was precisely how we’d envisioned them. Darren, your voice was exactly what this project needed and your contributions both to Keanu (who knew you could be scary?!) and the soundtrack helped to pull it all together. Gerry - you were the perfect leprechaun, but we all knew that already! Jen, you were made to be mermaid baby and don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise! And last, but certainly not least, James - thank-you for being the voice of reason in all of it. No one else could have pulled Akil off the way you did. 

To show our appreciation, we wanted to pass along a few little treats in honor of you and tonight’s premiere. First, homemade rainbow cakes in a jar to remind you of the pot of gold you helped us find (we both quality tested them, and believe us, they are delicious!). Secondly, a unicorn flower arrangement and a bottle of Blazing Phoenix wine - to represent Harry and Blaise, who started this all - for you to enjoy

Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for being a part of this journey with us and for helping us bring this crazy fantasy to life. You are all fucking magical. 

Lots of Love, 

Delta & Brie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOVELY!

Thank you, Darren! You’re the best.

[stefigerm]

KIND ;)

You’re the little asshole who just had to wink at me. You know I’m going to be a little asshole right back at you in return and start off with something dirty. Maybe not so much dirty but more so sentimental, I guess? Bordering on the line of being cheesy, I love the way we connect both mentally and physically. With all the shit I’ve dealt with in the past you have been nothing but understanding and patient with me and I love you so much for that. You understood my need to take things slow in the bedroom in the beginning—there was never any rush. Any other person wouldn’t have been as patient as you.

I feel like people underestimate you all the time when it comes to your work. You’re just more than Blaine Anderson from Glee. You’re a fucking superstar when it comes to all different types of genres and career choices. You’re a hard-worker (trust me, I’d know) and never stop until you get everything 100% the way you want it to be.

You’re an amazing father to both Amorette and Lennon. Seriously. You were there since day one without even being anything more than a friend coming over to help out with making dinner—look where we are now. Crazy to think about. You fought tooth and nail in order to make Amorette your own and not many people would have done that. She has no idea how lucky she is to have you in your life. Hell, I’m extremely lucky to have you in my life with how amazing you are in general.

Just The Two of Us | Darebear +AAARon

Aaron grabbed a bottle of water, he had been at a rehearsal all morning, it had been a rough morning already. He had texted Darren whom he saw a few days ago and he knew had been going back and forth like him for work. He told him that she should come and hang out so that Aaron wouldn’t go totally mad. Aaron took a sip of his water as he walked over to the window, he looked out at the city and just thought about life in general.

Dinner

my favorite things my mom makes for dinner are all Chinese 

after the Dancing finale I requested a list of junk for dinner in comparison to anyone else on our plane

I actually make pinterest recipes for dinner fairly regularly when home

[roberttsemma-blog]

Books

1 - My biggest plan for the future is to write a book, maybe a novel or maybe a cook book, I don’t know but I am surely doing it.

2 - Book are my favorite thing on earth, not shes, not clothes or anything but books, and this is why whenever someone tells me the name of one I am gonna read it, even if it’s a weird book.

3 - I love reading but I don’t like blockbusters, I never got the thing about stuff like Twilight or Lord of The Rings.
