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.

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...
