Blogmas Day 25: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! If you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope your having a great day. I can't believe it's here already, but I'm excited. Every year I feel like a little kid again. But before I continue I always want to take a moment to say how thankful I am and how grateful I am. Not everyone is able to say that. I couldn't go to sleep really the night before, I was pretty excited. So on Christmas Day when 12:00am hit, wished my mom and sister a Merry Christmas! I stayed up until 4:00am. I know that's pretty late, but again I couldn't help it. So I ended up sleeping till 6:00am, I was still a little tired but I was too happy to go back to sleep. I had a nice Christmas with my mom and sister, we laughed and watched movies. I was on instagram and facebook throughout the day. I don't know about you but I love seeing others post pictures of their Christmas trees and the food! Is that weird? Speaking of Christmas trees, there has been a mixture of them. It's not just the traditional green Christmas tree anymore. There's also white and pink trees. I was surprised because I didn't think those existed until last year when my mom brought one. It's actually pretty I was a little hesitant about because I like traditional, but I do like it. This Christmas was very relaxing and it was peaceful. I fixed baked ziti which never gets old with me. I love pasta dishes around the holidays, it's great comfort food especially with the colder days happening.

Throughout future posts I'll share what I got for Christmas, this was just an overall view of what my day was like! I had fun just being with family. If you want to know what else I did checkout some of the movies I like to watch during Christmas and some of the music I like listen to!

I hope all of you had a wonderful day regardless of whether or not you celebrate Christmas!

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 ...
