Blogmas Day 31: It's New Years Eve!

It's New Year's Eve everyone! This year is one to remember and one some can't wait to leave behind. So many things have happened this year and it's a lot to take in. A lot of people have lost their lives young and old. So much sadness all in such a short period of time. Losing someone is never easy, it doesn't matter what time of the year. But for the holidays it can be especially hard. Not having someone who you love and care about in your life anymore, because they passed is so hard. The holidays are supposed to be a joyful time, but how can it be when there are people missing. I know in a lot of posts I write about how life is too short and it shouldn't be taken for granted. To be honest I will continue to say this, because it's true. The people in your lives are gems and should be cherished.

Now I'm not one to give "advice", but I like to call it sharing words of wisdom with you. With that being said, you should surround yourself with positive people and love. Leave the negativity behind and remove yourself from negative people. They don't deserve you or your friendship. Whatever the case may be, it's time to move on. Everyone deserves to be happy! If someone isn't there for you like you are for them, they were not a friend to begin with. I am in no way telling you to do, this is just how I feel. I'm sure you've heard of the saying, "it's better to have a few real friends, then a bunch of fake ones" well it's true.

So here's to everyone being happy and leaving the negative vibes behind. Follow your dreams and goals because only you know what's best for you. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something. Know that you're worth it and don't let anyone belittle that. Shine brighter than the sun and sparkle more than a diamond! I'm excited about the year and I'm blessed to have experienced this year, good or bad. Everyday is a fresh start, but the new year is like a clean slate. So here's to a new year everyone!

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...

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...
