Blogmas Day 2: Dealing With Holiday Stress!

With Christmas approaching in a few weeks everything is starting to get stressful. Whether it's looking for Christmas presents, buying decorations, or still searching for the best tree stuff like this is stressful. Before I continue, I would like to acknowledge those who are prepared and relaxing props to you! For others it's not a smooth ride at all. So I decided to share a few simple tips, to have a easy holiday season!

Plan Ahead

This is the number one most important tip. After this I probably won't even bother with the other ones. Procrastinating and saving everything for the last minute is not a good idea. So planning ahead the things you want to accomplish this holiday season, would be a good idea. I know it's hard for everyone to remember anything during this time, because you have a lot on your mind. That's why I suggest writing all of your ideas in a notebook. This way you'll be prepared and organized at the same time.

Go Shopping Early

This is the second most important thing to do. Usually around the holidays, stores and online stores have sales. Everybody loves a sale so it's crowded in the stores so if you decide to wait late, a few things you want might be out of stock. During this time a lot of people are hosting holiday parties, so everyone is trying to stock up on food, party items and games. I mean even if you don't want to do all of your shopping at once, do it gradually little by little.

Ask For Help

You don't have to plan alone. Get together with your family and friends. It's always nice going shopping and decorating with the people you love. For one it's easier when you have help, because things get finished quicker. Plus you can have fun and share a few laughs while decorating the Christmas tree or baking cookies!

Relax

I know this one is easier said than done. I know it gets hectic and wild around this time. Trust me I've experienced that person who's tried to push everyone, but then end up in the same place as you because it's crowded. But if you take a step back and refocus you will be able to start fresh and new. The Christmas holiday is suppose to be fun and relaxing with the people you care about.

Although these tips were simple but these are the little things can help a lot. How do you handle holiday stress?

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...
