Blogmas Day 18: Getting Into The Holiday Spirit!

When you're a kid you can't wait for Christmas time, because of the presents! You're excited about helping mom or dad make cookies with a glass of milk for Santa Claus. There are so many exciting things about the holidays! But when you get older, it becomes more than that. Well at least for me it is. I think Christmas becomes more important as everyone gets older, because we understand the meaning of it. Like spending time with love ones and laughing at old times and most importantly creating new memories. Whenever the holiday season comes along, it brings me back to when I was a kid. All of the Christmas movies and the Christmas traditions I've experienced as a child are so important to me. This year I have really gotten into the holiday spirit, especially with blogging. This is my first year doing blogmas and it wasn't to bad. Hopefully next year it will be better, but with Christmas right around the corner I haven't had the motivation. But overall I am enjoying it and I love reading everyone else's blogmas post. It's always interesting to find out that you have the same things in common, with other bloggers.

My creativity has been tested during blogmas. Anyway, a couple of days after Thanksgiving, the Christmas tree in my house was put up. That's a first too and December hadn't even came yet! I was surprised about this, but excited at the same time. I know for some people they start decorating right after Halloween. I remember as a kid seeing neighbors decorating their house and wondering why, because I didn't think it was time yet. I always enjoyed riding in the car seeing the Christmas lights. The colorful bulbs are gorgeous and the plan ones look like sparkles to me! During the holidays the little things make me happy and I realized that it's not always the big things that are important. The holidays show me how grateful I should be and how i shouldn't complain. There are people who are going through worse things, then I could even imagine. As I have said before during this time I reflect on the year and how far I've come from the last. I'm really excited about Christmas time and always feel like a little kid again!

I hope you enjoyed reading and let me know how you feel about the holidays!

My Thoughts While Watching Makeup Tutorials!

I love watching makeup tutorials so much that, three hours have literally passed. I remember watching my first ever makeup tutorial. It was from Dulce Candy and I was thinking wow if only I was that talented. The title of her video is called "Makeup For Beginners"! Now lets be honest I am not a makeup artist nor do I have the talented of creating nice makeup looks. I don't even where makeup except the basics. So I decided to share with you the things I think about, while watching YouTube videos and looking at makeup pictures. You will probably be surprised and hopefully you'll have a little laugh. If not then I really made a fool out of myself with this one! I actually laugh at myself for this, which means I'm probably weird now! Anyway, here's my thoughts while watching makeup tutorials. "That Highlight Though." "Wing On Point." "Girl you better work it, wing on fleek. Is that word still in?" "I Wish I Could P...

Self Love Is So Important!

Has there ever been a time where you felt unworthy? Unworthy of someone loving and caring for you. Have you ever disliked yourself so much, to the point where you would go into a dark place? I ask these questions not to necessarily get an answer back, but to let you know this happens to a lot of people. Self love is so important and everyone should feel good about themselves. Unfortunately in today's world that isn't the case at all. Society puts a label on what people should and should not look that. People judge one another 24 hours, 7 days a week and it's wrong. I've wanted to write this for a while now, but sometimes it's difficult. You don't want to offend anyone, but you also want to bring awareness to this topic. I'm not an expert on how to love yourself, but I do know what it's like to not have confidence. I know what it feels like to not think you're good enough, even when people tell you that you are. I use to think I was I wa...
