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 …
As you probably already know from my “Holiday Party Dress Inspiration” post, my gift wrapping and bow tying tutorials, and all of my gift guides, I am a HUGE fan of the holidays. But one of my absolute favorite things of all is holiday party glam time. I love putting on a great playlist and …
As you can probably already guess, Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. Not only do I get to buy presents for all of my nearest and dearest, but I get to wrap said presents in festive paper and beautiful bows. Plus, I get to fully embrace myself as a little holiday …

Although I absolutely love Christmas shopping and buying gifts for the people I love, I actually find myself having more fun shopping for Mila. Who knew there were so many clever and funny toys and gadgets for dogs? However, there are just as many awesome gifts for dog lovers too. From clothes and toys to …

Of course, as you already know, I wait all year for Holiday beauty launches. In fact, it’s practically my Super Bowl.
