Ginger Stars!!!

Just less than six more days until Christmas!!!  My fiancé and I decided to bake some ginger cookies.  We cut them out in star shapes, because that was the most Christmasy cookie cutter we had (until I realized we had a candy cane one when I was putting the star one away... oh, well).  We also sprinkled red and green sprinkles on them to be more festive!  They also taste great!  If anyone would like the recipe, let me know, and I'll post it.

So, Christmas shopping is finally done and we're just getting ready for Tuesday; however, my favorite day is Christmas Eve.  We tend to do more on Christmas Eve than Christmas Day, and it's a more special time for my family.  It will be really hard to be having Christmas this year without my mother.  She was the one that always went all out for Christmas.  I think she loved it more than the rest of my family and I.  But we will try to make the best of it as we can.  I'm sure we'll still have a great time.

I just posted an OOTD video on my channel the that you should check out if you haven't seen it. The link to my channel should be somewhere to the right of this post.  Expect at least a couple of more videos before Christmas.  The will be holiday related.

That's it for now.  In the meantime, I'll be watching Christmas movies and snacking on Christmas cookies.

Later!

What have I been up to...?

I know I've been neglecting my blog and my channel!  Well, there are several reasons...

First, just as I was getting over my cold, I developed a kidney infection and the antibiotics the doc put me on made me feel terrible.  That lasted several days, and I'm better now!  Yay!

Second, my fiancé came to visit for the holiday break!  I've been spending most of my time with him and haven't had much time to blog or film; however, he and I did sit down and do the "All I want for Christmas TAG" which can be seen below:

I love including him in my videos. :D

Also, on top of that, I've been Christmas shopping and making presents and wrapping presents and I'm still not finished!!!  So, I've been pretty occupied.  I'll have to post a picture on here of one of my favorite presents I made.  ^_^ I'll be sure to do that sometime in the next couple of days!  And of course, more videos to come, as well!

Later!

Finals are over/I've been ill/New uploads!

Hello everyone!

I'm happy to say that I am almost completely rid of this nasty cold that has been plaguing me for several days.  I haven't had a cold this bad in ages!  I'm glad I'm almost better.

Also, while I was fighting my cold, I was also studying and taking finals! D:  I still managed to do well, I think.  I made a B on my Physics II Final.  Yay!!! Now, it's time for upper level physics... Oh, dear.  I'll find out my final grades on Monday!

I did get around to filming my Holiday House Tour.  You can check that out by clicking the YouTube link somewhere to the right of this post and view that video.  Also, I uploaded my Sugar Plum Fairy Inspired Nail Tutorial and I'm in the process of uploading my skincare routine video! I've been a busy girl, because on top of that, I've been wrapping presents, cleaning house, and doing laundry.  My fiancé is coming this week! :D

Well, I'm glad classes are over for the semester and I seemed to have done pretty well.  Now, I've got to tackle more Christmas gift shopping and making!  Plus, I'll be making more holiday-themed videos as well, and may even feature my lovely fiancé again.  He's such  hoot! :)

Later!

Cat Tree Fun/Another sneak peak...?

Hello, once again!

It's Dead Day.  If you don't know what that is, it's the day before finals start.  D:  Anyway, I've been up to studying and all that.  Don't worry.  However, I did get a little side-tracked and did a couple of fun things on my "study breaks" which occur frequently and last quite a while, I should add.

First:

Wilhelmina (aka "Kitten")

While going through the attic in search for Christmas decor this past weekend, I found the cat tree I used to have set up at my place up north.  It was disassembled and I had a hard time remembering exactly how to put it back together, but I eventually got it figured out and a happy Kitten was glad to be pouncing and climbing on it again.  I've moved it to my room and it's in the way of my bed... I have no earthly idea where to put it!

Second:

I decided to play in my makeup because I wanted try out some of my ideas for Christmas/Winter-themed makeup looks.  Here is one I played around with.  I definitely plan to make a few changes before I film it, but I suppose this sort of a sneak peak of my Winter Wonderlandesque look.  It's more like a beta version:

Please  excuse the lack of foundation and the huge zit on my bottom lip.

The colors don't really show up well in these photos (I promise to have better ones when upload the video), plus, there are a few changes that I'm going to make.

I guess I better get back to studying... I can't wait for finals week to be over!  Then... Well, then, I have to get on Christmas presents for everyone.  Anyway, best of luck to other students out there taking their finals this week or sometime in the upcoming weeks.  Study hard and get plenty of sleep.  You're going to do just fine!

Update: Finals, Christmas, OOTD!!! Oh my!

Hey guys!

So, it's finals week!  AHH!  And today is the last day of class!  I have one more class this evening and that's it... except for finals.  AHH!

Anyway, I thought I'd upload an OOTD video, since I haven't really ever done one except a mini one at the end of my intro video and also, they're very quick to make and since I don't have a lot of time on my hands, it was the perfect thing to do!  The video should be up sometime this evening.

Here's a "sneak peak".  Ha!

Also, as soon as this wretched week is over, I'll be back on top of making videos again.  I have a lot of great ideas for Christmas, and I'll probably even do a Christmas decoration house tour video!  So, stay tuned these upcoming weeks if you watch my YouTube videos.  If you don't, you should and you should subscribe.  The link to my channel should be somewhere to the right of this post! --->

Well, that's it for now guys!  I better get back to studying!

New Video in the Works!

Hey guys!

Well, I just got finished painting, hot gluing and bending metal and when I get back from class this evening, I'll work on editing the video I made of it and get it up probably sometime tonight.  What was I doing exactly? Well...

I made a video on how I make my jewelry trees!

This one is a little different because made it with a box instead of a basket.  I, personally, prefer the basket, and I was going to show how to do a basket one, but I couldn't find those baskets at Hobby Lobby anymore.  Either way, you can take the same idea of how to make the one in a box and apply it to making one in a basket.

Well, I'm going to go get some dinner before I head off to class tonight!

Later!

Back home... :(

Isn't it just depressing when you get back from a fun vacation/holiday?  And then it's back to the usual routine.  I had such a blast visiting my fiancé and his relatives!  I was spoiled so much by my future mother-in-law!  She's the sweetest person I know!

So what all did I do on my stay?

Tuesday: I arrived sometime after 9pm and was tired, so we really didn't do anything that day.  Ha!

Wednesday: My fiancé's mother took me for a nice, luxurious pedicure at this really snazzy spa.  Then she took me to this really cute tea room downtown for tea where we met up with my fiancé and ate at another restaurant.  Later that afternoon, my fiancé and I played bocce with his stepdad. I think it's such a fun game!

Thursday: Thanksgiving Day!  We went for a walk on some trails in the morning, then I helped cook (some, I wish I could have done more), then we had an amazing dinner!  Afterwards, it was time for the ultimate bocce showdown against my fiancé's brother-in-law. Ha!  That was great fun.  I lost, of course.

Friday: My fiancé, his sister and his mom did early morning Black Friday shopping.  I slept in, then we went to yoga at this cute little studio downtown. I'd never been to a yoga class before (I have attempted it on my own before) and I absolutely loved it!  It was very calming and is a good workout for your body after Thanksgiving dinner! Then, we shopped around a bit and didn't do much for the rest of the evening.

Saturday: More shopping! Ha ha! Of course! Went to Ulta, Marshall's, Tuesday Mornings and then Publix to pick up a few groceries.  I had to pack... :(

Today: I left at 7am this morning.  It's nice to be home and see my cats and dad and brother, but I really hate leaving my fiancé and his family who are so wonderful to me!

Well, that's it for now, I need to start working on schoolwork pronto! I didn't get any done over the break... I'm such a procrastinator and finals are NEXT WEEK!!!  AHH!  Wish me luck!  Don't expect to see or hear of too much of me in the meantime!

Later!
