12 Days of Christmas #12
12th Day of Christmas
On the 12th day of
Christmas my true love gave to me 12 drummers drumming, 11 pipers piper,
10 lords a leaping, 9 ladies dancing, 8n maids a milking, 7 swans a
swimming, 6 geese a laying, 5 golden rings, 4 calling birds, 3 french
hens, 2 turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Picture from here.
On
the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me a makeup look to look
awake on Christmas morning! Each Christmas pictures or always being
taken, so I like to look good without looking over done. Here's what I
do.
- Apply a tinted moisturizer.
- Under your eyes apply a light concealer over dark circles.
- Take a mattifying powder and dust over your face.
- Apply the smallest amount of peach blush.
- Sweep a very light, dewy highlight onto the tops of your check bones.
- Apply a bit of skin colored eyeshadow all over the lid of your eye.
- Apply a brown mascara onto your eyes (unless you have naturally black eyelashes, or black looks better, we are going for a natural look).
- On your lips apply a balm or chapstick.
- You are done!!
Hope this helped,

On the 10th day of Christmas my true love gave to me a cute outfit for the morning of Christmas! My parents always take pictures of me on Christmas morning. It's a tradition! I always try to wear my cutest PJs that day. Sometimes my mom even gives some to me on Christmas Eve! Anyway, here's an idea for those of you who needs to be camera ready on Christmas morning!
I love cute pajama pants! Especially when they are in a wintery print!
These are in the color red fairisle wink. You can buy them here.
I love plain tanks! I especially love these with the pants!
These are in the color red. You can buy them here.
I love cozy cardigans! It is always chilly in the morning so this keeps me toasty!
This is in the color heather oatmeal. You can buy this here.
I am sorry this post is a day late. I have been swamped with homework lately.

On the 9th day of Christmas my true love gave to me a glamorous hairstyle that is so easy! This hairstyle is very simple but creates a very sophisticated, glamorous effect! I would wear this hairstyle with the makeup look I posted yesterday! Hope you enjoy!
- Prime your hair with a heat protection spray.
- Curl your hair (I tell you how to do this in the 5th Day of Christmas post).
- Make a deep side part, that starts at the arch of your eyebrow.
- Take the side with less hair and separate a small section.
- Split this section into three.
- Cross right section over the middle section. (You are creating a braid)
- Then, cross the left section over the middle section.
- Repeat this about 1-3 more times.
- Separate the sections and pin near the part where you created the braid.
- Hairspray in place.
- You are done!!

Winter Wears #9
Ways to Stay Fit During the Holidays
During the holiday season, it takes a lot of will power not to gain weight. Honestly, I think that you should indulge just a teensy bit! I mean its one week out of 52! But, for all of you who want to be good this holiday season I have some tips for you.
Eat before you go to the party. That way the snacks, appetizers, and desserts look a little less enticing.
Before you go to the party make a pact with yourself that you can only have one sweet. Or if you are going with a friend have them monitor what you eat also.
Exercise as you normally would. Don't make excuses just because it is the holiday season. If you have family around that you don't normally see suggest to go for a walk or a bike ride.
I hope this helps!

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me gift ideas for people who are creative! For Christmas I love to get my creative friends and relatives something they can make and experiment with. I hope you enjoy!
A Henna Tattooing Kit! This is perfect for the friend who is always writing on themselves, who wants a tattoo, or who just loves to be creative. You can by a kit here.
A jewelry making kit! This is perfect for the friend who loves doing things herself, wearing unique jewelry, or loves to work with her hands! You can buy this kit here.
A scarf! I know a scarf doesn't seem very creative, but you really can personalize them and experiment with wearing them different ways. This gift would be perfect for someone who really loves fashion, loves to experiment with their outfits, or who loves to wear things in different ways! This scarf is from here.
I hope you enjoyed!

12 Days of Christmas #6
6th Day of Christmas
On the 6th day of Christmas my true love gave to me 6 geese a laying, 5 golden rings, 4 calling birds, 3 french hens, 2 turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.
On the 6th day of Christmas my true love gave to me a casual outfit to wear with family! For the holidays I love wearing fancy things that I can't wear any other time of the year! However, my Dad's side is very casual, so I have to always take that into consideration. I love wearing an oversize sweater with skinny jeans and jazzing it up a bit with a chunky gold sweater and pumps when I am with them! I hope you enjoy!
