Blogmas Day 1: December Is Here!

December is here and I'm so excited, but realizing this year is almost over is unbelievable. Another exciting thing that's happening for me is my birthday! I can't believe I'm turning 25 years old, but I'm so blessed. I'm also doing a "25 Things Before 25" post, so look out for that.

During the month of November I blogged everyday and that motivated me, for this month. Have you ever heard of "Blogmas"? I didn't even know about until recently. Is it something that was just created, because I've been clueless for the past fours years! I know on YouTube vloggers do vlogmas. But anyway, if you don't know I will explain it. Blogmas is when you blog everyday in December leading up to Christmas. I also heard that it's suppose to be a Christmas theme too. As a blogger I have found it hard to get organized and although I'm not there yet I have planned out my list of blog posts for this entire month. I think I've been bitten by the motivation bug!

This Christmas has really got me in the festive mood. I'm looking forward to all of the Christmas movies, songs, decorations, you name it. I'm also looking forward to reading everyone's blog posts. We're all different so it's exciting to find out what everyone else does during the holidays! Has anyone put up their Christmas tree? My mom, sister and I have a couple of days ago. That's a first because it's usually in December when we do that. So stay tuned for some recipe posts, gift ideas and more this month.

I hope you enjoyed reading and here's to December and the last month of the year!

Finding My Passion For Blogging Again

At some point in time, when your heart isn’t into something you should take a break. Blogging is great and I couldn’t see myself without it. However sometimes it can get overwhelming and that’s what happened to me this year. For about eight months I have not blogged and I thought I was a bad person for that. I have realized that it was best to take the long break. In doing so, I have found so many things I love to talk about. I was holding myself back because I put a label on myself, wanting to be known as a beauty blogger. Sure I attached the lifestyle part, but honestly I don’t really know what that means. During this year I had time to reflect on where I wanted my blog to go and whether I even wanted to write anymore. Honestly the motivation to blog was not there at all and at that time, I really didn’t care if I continued. I did not want to look at my blog or deal with it. For me I was tired of putting in the work and not getting anything in return. Meaning no one was r

E.l.f. Eye Brushes

Although this haul is very small, I just wanted to share with you what I brought. I decided to buy brushes, because I needed them more! The first brushes I were eco-friendly and were really good, but their were more face brushes, then eye brushes. So that wasn't really helpful to me. It was only one eye shadow brush. I rarely shop online, I always go to the store. But I was bored one day and I guess this is what happened! I am really excited to try these brushes! I also brought some things from BH cosmetics, but that's for another post! Eye Shadow Brush The eye shadow brush is supposed to help apply the eye shadow evenly and make it easier. This sounds good, because the brushes I used in the past were tough and hard. It seemed like I had to put a lot of eye shadow on, before it actually showed up on my eyes. Blending Eye Brush This brush is supposed to blend the eye shadows, while softening dramatic edges and lines. This is really good, because before I ha
