Christmas Time.

Well, once again it's CHRISTMAS. It's time for family get-togethers, lots of home cooked meals and leftovers, presents, and the quality time of bonding.
Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year, minus the cold, but that's besides the point. The fact that everyone is in a better mood, feels more forgiving and generous, and loving are my favorite parts. The only bad thing is that it's not like this all year round.
I, personally am still a child when it comes to Christmas. I want to open my presents and immediately take them home and bask in the glory, but as I get older I'm getting more and more joy out of buying other people gifts. Even if I spend 20$, I'm like a child and can't wait to give it to them and have issues keeping it a secret. I guess that's part of growing up, being an adult. I must say, I love it.
As you sit down with your family this Christmas, remember to love them because everything can be gone in an instant. Remember to say thank you, because throughout the year we all made mistakes and probably weren't the best person we could have been, and be grateful because someone out there is wishing for your life that you have now while you're wishing for someone else's.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I switch foundations like crazy.. I'm constantly looking for a better one and have tons of freckles that come out in the sun so I'm always looking for one that covers them. And yes... I know most people think they are adorable but I want that no imperfection airbrushed tv star look.
I recently got a sample of Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation from Belk's. So far I have noticed that it's definitely a full coverage. It's heavier and thicker than what you would just get from covergirl. I put a little on at a time because it dries very quickly.
I'm very paranoid about my face looking cakey or two different colors and although I feel like it might look that way, everyone tells me it doesn't. It blends very well despite my paranoia.
It covers very well from what I have seen so far, and I do like it. It's about $40 for a bottle but I have a sample jar and I feel like it's going to last me a while, a little seems to go a long way.
If you're looking for a FULL coverage foundation, I would definitely try this one and see. I know a lot of people that just use it as a concealer too if they are just doing light makeup for the day.

Coffee Syrups

Coffee syrups have been my new latest craze. I love all the fancy iced coffees and lattes. The problems? Expense and time. I'm always ru...
