Blogmas Day 7: Holiday Baking!

I don't know about you but the smell of baked goods is everything! The way I said that in my head sounded a lot better, almost as if I was in a commercial. I love the holidays because it gives everyone an excuse to eat! Over the past few years I have taken an interest in baking, it really is soothing. My favorite dessert to make is White Chocolate Blondies! These are so delicious and very easy to make. When making recipes created by other people on the internet, I only go to one person. I'm pretty sure you've heard of Laura Vitale, right? Well this is her recipe and you can never go wrong with that. If by chance you're not familiar with her, just know I am very disappointed! But I will give you a quick summary of who she is.

Laura Vitale is the host of the YouTube channel "Laura In The Kitchen" , which is very popular and she has a show called "Simply Laura" on the cooking channel! I've been watching her since the beginning and her recipes are awesome. So a few days ago I made her White Chocolate Blondies recipe. I've made it a few times before, but this one seems to be my favorite! It's perfect for the holidays, although you can make it at anytime. It's simple, but delicious and you won't be disappointed.

Her passion for food is inspiring and has helped me enjoy cooking with my mom and sister! I've created my own recipes and I've made dishes inspired by her recipes. On her YouTube channel she has recipes for days. Especially ones for the holidays, so if you're stuck and have no clue what to make and it's at the last minute, watch her videos. She has a variety of deserts and recipes specifically for the holidays. If you want to check out her other variations of the blondie recipe, check out the direct links to her website below!

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...

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). ...

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 ...
