Blogmas Day 24: Christmas Eve And The Countdown To Christmas Day!

Christmas Eve is the official countdown till Christmas! Usually it's very hectic for people during this time. You know, last minute shopping and wrapping gifts. Some people have parties. My mom hosted a Christmas party yesterday! It was good to spend time with family I don't get to see everyday. Usually Christmas Eve is just spent with my mom and sister. We like to watch movies and laugh, just having a good time. Tonight at 8:00 pm started the 24 hour marathon of "A Christmas Story"! I mentioned this movie in "My Favorite Christmas Movies" post. I also watched Elf and Home Alone, which are some of my other favorites. You know, I always wonder what other people are doing on Christmas Eve. That's the cool part about social media, seeing everyone having a good time with family! Again I can't believe it's literally almost Christmas time, I remember it was just the first of December. Participating in my first Blogmas this year was pretty cool! Next year I definitely doing this again. But I will step up my game, I promise. This post isn't regular or normal and technically I'm not either so it works out fine! If only you could see me laughing at myself right now.

Basically I'm reflecting and remembering last Christmas. I'm also thinking about my family that isn't here anymore. You can't forget the memories you've had with them, but it isn't easy. That's why it's so important to cherish moments you have with family and friends. If you're like me it's hard to sleep during Christmas Eve. Remember when you were a kid and you would keep waking up. It's like every five minutes your waking up wondering if Santa came. How about baking cookies for him with a glass of milk. The best part was always the notes that was left from him. When Christmas comes around everyone has an excuse to be a kid again. This year it didn't really snow, I mean it one time but it melted the next day. I a lot of people hope for snow around this time. If it doesn't come on Christmas I'm pretty sure it will happen before the year is over.

Let me know what you do on Christmas Eve and if anything changed this year!

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...

My Top 5 Current Beauty Favorites!

I'm not one who has a lot of favorite products, but when I do it's worth sharing. Call me boring, but I'm someone who follows all the trends. Half of the time I don't even buy products that are "most known" or "popular". At the moment I have a handful of products I'm really loving. I'm a picky person when it comes to a lot of things, but these products are great to use. If you are on a budget these products are very affordable and they definitely don't disappoint! Swissco Detangle Brush I love this detangler brush, it works great on my hair. Although I found this at Marshalls you can find online as well. Both prices are $6! That's very affordable in my opinion, compared to brushes that cost double. You can use this on wet and dry hair. I've tried both and it works very good. When it's time to twist or braid my hair I will use this brush. Most importantly I will use this brush before washing my hair and during th...

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...
