Blogmas Day 8: What Christmas Means To Me!

The Holidays are for enjoying your family and friends! But it's also a time to reflect on life as a whole. I remember in the GRL POWR Bloggers (#GRLPOWR) chat I joined on Twitter the other day, one of the questions were "What do you prefer - giving or receiving presents?" My answer was "When you get older you realize how much meaningful giving presents is! Seeing the look on someone's face is worth it!" This is truly how I feel, because Christmas means so much more than presents.

As I get older I really don't know what I want for Christmas anymore. My "list is very short". Around the holidays I constantly think about the people who are less fortunate. It makes me realize how blessed I am and that life should not be taken for granted. I rather give gifts to the people who don't have anything. To see the look on their faces and for them to know how special they are is what matters most.

Just being with my family and laughing about old times and creating knew memories, are all the presents I need. Life is too short for the negativity. We often complain about the smallest things and we often forget to appreciate the things we have. Cherishing special moments with the people you love and care about is what's really important. I hope this doesn't bring anyone's mood down. Don't get me wrong, opening up presents is fun and waking up at 5:00 am on Christmas Day is fun. But it's also a time to appreciate and enjoy life. I hope you enjoyed reading and let me know how you feel about Christmas/ The Holidays in general.

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...
