Blogmas Day 11: Simple Winter Stocking Stuffers!


Some of my favorite gifts are the ones that come from the Christmas Stockings! It's like little surprises and most of them are ones that I find to be a necessity in life. Well maybe that's just me. I know that for me, I love buying stocking stuffers for people during Christmas time. I put a lot of thought in the items that I buy. Basically my process is getting things that can be very useful for everyday life. These items are very lightweight and can easily fit inside your purse or bag when you go out. With the holidays here everyone is scattering in the malls/stores for Christmas gifts. No one has the time or money to think about presents for the stockings. It's also getting very cold outside and winter is right around the corner. So it makes perfect sense for me to share with you, my favorite stocking stuffers to buy for the winter all under $8! This way you giving the ones you love things they need and you're staying within your budget. 

Gloves
During the winter, it's obviously cold outside and the first thing that comes to mind are the hands. From my experience my hands are the first things to get super cold. So wearing gloves is very important. I know a lot of gloves can be expensive, but if you go to Walmart they have some for under $4! You can't be that.  

Chapstick/ Lip Products 
During the winter a lot of people experience dry skin, especially on the lips. One the best lip products is by eos. My lips feel moisturized and healthy looking and it only cost $3! If you're not a fan of the eos lip balm, chapsticks work the same way and for only $1! 

Hand Sanitizer 
This is extremely important because germs are not healthiest. Whether you touch your car doors, house doors, throw away garbage or whatever it's important to make sure your hands are clean. Again Walmart is great for finding stocking stuffers. The small Purex bottom are under $2! 

Hand Lotion 
Just like dry lips, everyone deals with dry hands. I like to use the suave therapy lotion for dry skin and the eos hand lotion in cherry blossom. Both lotions keep my hands very moisturized throughout the day. The eos hand lotion is about $5 and the suave skin therapy is about $4. 

Socks
I love wearing socks especially around the house. Not only do I like wearing festive socks during the holidays, but they definitely keep your feet warm. At Walmart they have spa socks costing only $3, that's a great deal. These socks are regular ones you wear outside, it's like slipper socks! 

Candles
I love candles, I mean who doesn't! They smell really good and you can stay warm without turning on the heater. Candles come in all sizes so you can easily purchase the small ones for $1. 

I hope you enjoyed reading and let me know what you like to give or receive as stocking stuffers!

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...

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 ...
