Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge: Christmas Wish List

Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge:

Christmas Wish List

I'm going to make this a materialist post.

I mean, we all want world peace right? 

So with that said, here's my material girl list.

 

A vacation to Tahiti

Not this bag in particular, but a Gucci bag would be nice!

A badass pair of Christian Loubitons

Where would I wear them? 

Vegas of course!

Canon Mark 5D II

MAC palette & pigments

And what I want above ALL else, is to get pregnant!

I can't even begin to tell you my frustration with this. 

But I'll save all that for another post.

Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge: Favorite Holiday Movies

Day 4 of the Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge:

Favorite Holiday Movies/TV Specials

I watch just about EVERY Holiday & movie that airs in the month of December!

But these first I watch MULTIPLE TIMES!

LOVE me some Chevy Chase!

Did you know Ralphie doesn't get paid royalties?

That sucks!

I adore this movie though!

 

 

 

Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge: Holiday Decor

Day3 of the Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge:

Holiday Decorations

I already blogged about this on Sunday! 

So scroll down to see some of my decor.

Our tree is up now though!

The whole middle section of lights won't come on though! 

And I still need to add more ornaments & bows, and  a tree topper!

 

Isn't this dark middle section awful!

Hubby searched for an hour to figure out where the the missing plug is and couldn't find it.

Boo!

Moving along!

I am no professional make up artist, but I do LOVE make up! So I'm going to share with you random tips I've learned from my MUA (make up artist) friends, the internet, and good ol personal trial & error!

 So here is tip #1.

Do you wear foundation?

If so, how do you apply it?

I've heard mixed reviews from various MUAs.

Some have told me use a sponge- but then that takes up a lot of foundation and can hold lots of germs.

Some have told me use your fingers- but you can end up applying more in some areas and less in others. Basically causing unevenness due to the pressure in your hands.

Then of course there's the brush. This is my new favorite way to apply liquid foundation!

The above image is of the MAC 187 brush. Quite pricey but during the holidays you can get a brush gift set for $50. The sets are smaller but you get more brushes for the price you'd normally pay for just one.  You can apply a small amount on top and use it to evenly apply your foundation. 

I can't even express how much better this looks now! It makes a HUGE difference!

It literally gives me a flawless look.

Don't believe me? Check out some of these reviews.

Just make sure you pick up some brush cleaner of course!

Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge: Favorite Holiday Tradition

Day 2 of the Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge:

Favorite Holiday Tradition

Old Tradition

As a kid I absolutely loved when my mom would set out all the Christmas goodies on the buffet. There would be cookies and candies and sometimes there would be egg nog. 

I LOVE egg nog! 

After my dad died back in 2000 & she stopped this tradition. I never thought about how special that was until now. *tear*

It wasn't this elaborate, but you get the idea!

New Tradition

Since the hubby & I started dating back in 2002, our only tradition really is decorating on Thanksgiving Day or the day after Thanksgiving. We do try to go to Fantasy in Lights every year though. It's an amazing light show at Callaway Gardens with over 8 million lights. We like to ride the trolley & sip on hot cocoa! 

Oh how I love the holidays!
