Blogmas Day 22: Simple Secret Santa Gifts!

Can you believe Christmas is in three days, where has the time gone. During Christmas time and even hosting holiday parties do you ever play games? Do you guys do secret Santa? I mean everyone loves participating in this, right? Well if you've waited to the last minute, don't worry I have some simple gift ideas for you. These items are affordable, convenient and can be used everyday. I know a lot of people enjoy it because you can be really creative. Plus you will get to see how well you know the person, or when you open the gift you can see if they know you well too! So here's my simple gifts for your secret Santa. Also a lot of people have a set budget, so you can't go over. I know this also happens with a grab bag. I think that's great because money can be low during the holidays.

Gift Cards

Who doesn't love a gift card and the good part about this gift idea, is that there a card for almost everything. iTunes, Restaurants, Google Play, Macy's, Amazon you name it!

Candles

I love candles! They will have your whole house smelling really good and you'll stay warm, during these colder months.

Coffee Mug

I'm pretty sure you know someone who drinks coffee. If not they can put hot chocolate in it, like I do! I know at Walmart they have a gift package with a Starbucks mug with stuff to make coffee!

Candy

I love candy and as a gift you can't go wrong with that!

Hat & Scarf Set

It officially Winter which means the temperature went from cool to cold in a matter of minutes. I think this is a great idea.

Notepad or Planner & Pen

With the year coming up everyone needs a notepad or planner, whichever one is best. Both help you stay organized, whether you're setting up daily or weekly goals or a to do list.

I know these are very simple but they would be great as a gift and it's affordable.

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...

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 ...

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). ...
