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...

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). ...
