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?

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
