My family loves any excuse to celebrate. Not only do we love the biggies like Christmas and Easter, but we also love all of the little holidays like Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and even May Day. In fact, Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. Each year, my mom would give us a …
Before I start Christmas shopping, I create a list of who I have to buy presents for, what my budget is for each person, and if I have any gift ideas for them. And every year, I find the girls so much easier to shop for than the boys. As a beauty blogger, it’s really …
