Blogmas Day 1: December Is Here!

December is here and I'm so excited, but realizing this year is almost over is unbelievable. Another exciting thing that's happening for me is my birthday! I can't believe I'm turning 25 years old, but I'm so blessed. I'm also doing a "25 Things Before 25" post, so look out for that.

During the month of November I blogged everyday and that motivated me, for this month. Have you ever heard of "Blogmas"? I didn't even know about until recently. Is it something that was just created, because I've been clueless for the past fours years! I know on YouTube vloggers do vlogmas. But anyway, if you don't know I will explain it. Blogmas is when you blog everyday in December leading up to Christmas. I also heard that it's suppose to be a Christmas theme too. As a blogger I have found it hard to get organized and although I'm not there yet I have planned out my list of blog posts for this entire month. I think I've been bitten by the motivation bug!

This Christmas has really got me in the festive mood. I'm looking forward to all of the Christmas movies, songs, decorations, you name it. I'm also looking forward to reading everyone's blog posts. We're all different so it's exciting to find out what everyone else does during the holidays! Has anyone put up their Christmas tree? My mom, sister and I have a couple of days ago. That's a first because it's usually in December when we do that. So stay tuned for some recipe posts, gift ideas and more this month.

I hope you enjoyed reading and here's to December and the last month of the year!

Helpful Posts/Sites For Bloggers

Being a blogger is not easy at all, whether it's a hobby or a job. Every blogger works so hard to put out quality work. But sometimes it can be a struggle. While in a blogging rut I came across a lot of posts that have helped me gain confidence. These posts also helped me realize my creativity; all I needed to do was use my noggin! But before you click on the links below, I'm going to explain what these links mean to me. I don't want to bore you but I'm hoping these will help you too. Everytime I get into a blogging rut I always look at my blog design. Thinking that the design I have is always the problem, I go and I spend money to change it. In reality the major problem was myself. Now don't get me wrong, designs I've had were beautiful it just wasn't for me. During my long "break" or breakdown I did a lot of searching. I'm pretty sure you all heard of Etsy, am I right? This is where I found two shops that have helped me tremendous...

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...

Color Theory:8 Piece Ultimate Eyeliner Set

I love Eyeliner; eyeliner is my go to look. Anytime I had eyeliner my eyes would look like their dressed up! The only eyeliner I have ever wore up until this point was black; because that was the only color I thought was out (crazy of me right?!) Anyway lately I've seen many girls wear different color eyeliner, mainly on YouTube; so I knew immediately I would have to try it. After a while I forgot all about them, until Christmas of 2012 when I received them. I was so excited because my Mom didn't even know I wanted them; now that I am thinking I didn't even ask! Now I can match up the colors with eyeshadow. Enough of that here's the box they came in and I have the colors listed below. On the back it just talks about the different styles you can do with the eyeliners. For example: The famous winged look (instructions for it are on the back). ...
