Get Ready With Me! - Christmas Party Hair & Makeup Tutorial

I love the Christmas holidays - spending quality time with family and friends, lots of laughter, celebrating the birth of our Lord and remembering the many blessings in our lives.  Here's a simple, neutral look for a fun night with friends.  Merry Christmas beauties!

Products I Used

Christmas Holiday Hair Ideas! Cute, Messy Buns

I'm all for super glam, sophisticated hairstyles that take hours to re-create.

If someone else is doing them for me.  Or if I'm watching them on YouTube in awe.

Other than that, I want something easy, cute and something that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasions.  Here are two such hairstyles.  I hope you enjoy!!

11 DIY Christmas Gift Ideas!

It's Christmas time again - a time for good food, warm cocoa and spending time with loved ones.  Oh, and by spending time, I mean money.  I'm not sure when Christmas became all about spending money, but I a) don't have any, and b) I'm old-fashioned, I love being creative and coming up with fun gifts that reflect my relationship with the person.

So obviously, I LOVE DIY PROJECTS.  I made Taryn some gorgeous over-the-top glitter heels for her birthday, and my closet is littered with glitter-ized/cut-up t-shirts from various birthdays and events.  So of course, I had to make a video dedicated to giving you some ideas to creating your own budget-friendly Christmas gifts!

I promised in the video to share with you some of the recipes from one of the ideas, so here they are!  If you try them, please let me know on my Facebook if you liked them!! :)
