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!

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 h...

BH Cosmetics Eyebrow Tweezer

Going to get your brows waxed costs money, so with that being said I rather do my own. Although I am not a professional I think I can manage. I do not wax my eyebrows. To be honest I have never waxed or tried to wax my brows. If you're like me in the department of not waxing, you find other ways to style (fix) your brows. For me I have only tried two products; one will be in this post and the other is linked here: Brow kit ! I have learned to love my brows just the way they are. But they do deserve to pampered at the same time. If I have a few eyebrow hairs that do not belong, I want something quick and easy to fix this. That is why I have my bh cosmetics eyebrow tweezer. I have written a few posts on bh cosmetics products, but I am not affiliated with them in any way. I just simply love their products because its still high quality products, but at a cheaper price. This is great because not everyone wants to spend a lot or are maybe on a bu...

Is there a guide to blogging?

It's been 3 months since I started blogging and I already have 57 followers and I am so grateful and thankful. In a million years I would have never imagined being a blogger. But sometimes I do not feel like one. I mean I know being a successful and known blogger doesn't happen overnight, but sometimes I get discouraged. I have always been someone who is cautious and worries about what people think, so sometimes I feel no one will like what I post. I also feel like, because I am not a well known blogger no one will take the time and give me a chance. I am just being myself, is there something wrong with that? So I started feeling lost and I didn't know what to do; then I thought "Is there a guide to blogging?". Not only did I have these thoughts, but I was also thinking that there are so many wonderful bloggers (beauty, fashion, and lifestyle), so who would even notice my blog. So is there a book to teach people how to blog or am I just overreacting? Sometim...
