GIFT GUIDE FOR MOMS AND GRANDMAS- C2CC

Hello there my beautiful friends. Sorry for no post yesterday but I was beyond busy and just didn't have time. I really need to get my posts scheduled this weekend, I do not want to miss another day. I promised myself I wouldn't miss a single day but I have, sadly. Anyway today I bring you another gift guide but this time for 2 of the most important people in your life, your mom and grandmas or any role-model figure in your life. This is based around relaxation and distressing since the woman figures in your life so pretty much everything for you. Lets get into it!

1. Teavana Holiday Favorites Tea Gift Set

Everyone loves sitting down in front of the fire with a hot cup of tea and a good movie. Any mom in need of a relaxation would love a gift set like this.

2. Ugg Australia Black Scuffette Slip On Slippers and Zappos Acorn Ewey Chestnut Slipper

A nice pair of comfy slippers are the perfect addition to any relaxing night. A good quality pair of slippers are the perfect gift.

3. Shiatsu Back Massager

Now this is amazing. You can put it on an office chair, in your car or even on your couch. You get a full massage while watching T.V or doing a little work.

4. Spa Gift Certificate

5. Taupe Supersoft Bathrobe or Nordstrom Spa Robe

A soft, warm bathrobe are perfect for after a shower or first thing in the morning. I always love receiving a nice bathrobe. 

6. Memory Foam Pillow

This is amazing for the person with a sore neck or if they just hate regular pillows and want something a little more luxurious.

7. Caudalie Premier Cru Anti-Aging Set

This is some high class skin care. Its $100 dollars for it but the quality is there. If you are willing to spend a little extra on someone then this is the perfect gift for them. 

8. Homemade Sharpie Mug- Video Tutorial

Now this is such a cute and creative idea. If you don't have the money to buy a store bought gift then this is perfect. Its custom to anything you want and its actually useable! They can use it to enjoy their coffee or tea!

9. Keurig K-Cup Carousel Tower, holds 30

If you know someone who already owns a keurig machine and their k-cups are always a big jumbled mess then I would get them this. They will be more relaxed when its all clean. 

10. Keurig Coffee Brewer Machine with Coffe Refills

11. The Balm Hot Mama All-In-One Blush, Shadow, Highlighter

This is kind of a more joke gift. Get it? Its called Hot Mama and you may be giving it to your mama. This could be an extra gift or a stocking stuffer.

12. BBW Stress Relief Sugar Scrub

13. BBW Stress Relief Body Wash and Foam Bath

14. BBW Stress Relief Body Mist

All three of these could go together. Its just a mint and eucalyptus scent that supposedly helps relieve stress. Its a small little useful gift. 

15. The Body Shop Divine Calm Relaxing Massage Oil

This is again another relaxing spa gift. If you have a dad that lives with your mom then you can put this in their stockings. They could give each other a nice relaxing massage at-home.

Some of these gifts could be paired together in a gift set or individual. I tried to make a range of cheap to expensive gifts as I know not everyone can afford 100+ gifts and others like spending that little extra on people. I hope you got some ideas for the special women in your life. Merry Christmas everyone!

HOLIDAY MAKEUP LOOK #2 SUBTLE

Hello there my beautiful friends!

How are you this lovely Wednesday? Can you believe Christmas is only 13 days away?! Its insane, it feels like just yesterday it was November 1 and now its December 11th!

Most Christmas parties are starting this weekend so I thought I'd show you another holiday look to wear to all your festive events. This look is more subtle and natural, its for the younger people or the people who don't wear much makeup. I hope you enjoy this cute, simple tutorial!

That is the breakdown of this makeup look. Let me know if you liked the instructions in the picture instead of it under the picture. It is a lot easier for me! I don't remember the website where the face picture is from but I just did a google search for face chart and this, along with many others, came up!

Hope you have a very merry holiday!

A LITTLE TUESDAY INSPIRATION

Hello there my beautiful people! Sorry for the late post, but I got distracted by my design...AGAIN! But today I just wanted to share a little bit of Tuesday inspiration. It's almost half way through the week, you may need a little inspiration. 

       

I found this picture on WeHeartIt.com and I found it very true and inspiring. When people laugh at you for being different, you should laugh at them for all being the same and laughing at you. If the WHOLE school makes fun of you for doing something a little bit 'weird' or 'unusual' then all those people need to be laughed at because they are all following the same way as everyone else. I don't know about you but I'd rather be different and have 3 friends that accept me for me than 30 "friends" that only like me because I'm pretending to be something I'm not. 

If you follow in everyone's footsteps you may not be laughed at but you aren't being you and that feels worse than the meaningless peoples words. Being you is doing want YOU like, wearing what YOU want, saying what YOU feel and being who YOU want to be and become. If all your friends said they were going to take up drugs or alcohol or smoking and that's not what you want to do with your life but you went along with it because of your fear of being different, then you need to be laughed at by everyone. You need to be laughed at because you are being the same as everyone else and not being you. 

Society would be a hell of a lot different if we laughed at the people that followed and weren't being themselves. Everyone would actually have different interests and personalities unlike how it really is where you see a group of 5 girls or boys who dress, act, speak, look and breathe the same all because they are afraid of being different! If you are constantly caring about what people think and spend your whole life being someone you're not then you aren't really living at all, you are basically a dead person. 

Do you want to be dead? I didn't think so, so why would you spend your life pretending that your dead when you could be out there living your life how YOU want to, not how your best friends want to. Even if you are getting pressured to conform to other peoples opinions or actions, DONT! Walk away from the people pressuring you and step into your own life, your own world and think about who you want to be as a person and conform to THAT! Conform to your own vision of 'perfect' and you will be a hell of a lot happier. 

If it is the 'it' thing to wear red lipstick everyday but you HATE it, don't wear it! If twerking is the cool new dance but you find it repulsive and demeaning, then don't do it! If it's the cool thing to say YOLO but you find it to be the stupidest thing ever, don't say it! If it's cool to wear super short crop tops that are basically like a bra with super low rise short shorts but you find it disgusting and, excuse my language, slutty, then don't wear it! If there's a new kid at school and it's the 'thing' to throw god knows what at him/her but you find it absolutely rude and disrespectful, don't do it! Yeah people may call you a trader, boring, weird, loser or whatever but just say really? I'm the boring loser? You're the one following everyone and copying them! I'm just being me, sorry if that makes me a loser but I'd rather be me than someone like you anyday! 

Sorry I went on a very long rant but I just had a lot of thoughts on this subject. I hope you enjoyed and got somewhat inspired by this post. I really believe in this subject and I just want to get this message out there! Stay you! And Merry Christmas!

CHRISTMAS WISHLIST- C2CC

Hello there my beautiful friends! It's officially December and it's the first day of Blogmas! I'm super excited to start this series and see if I can keep up! Just a fore warning but a lot of the posts will be pre written, I won't schedule them because it can be sketchy so I will upload myself. Today I am going to share my Christmas wishlist, just some things I would like to see under the tree! 

1. Naked 3 Palette|$52

    This is a brand spanking new palette. I love the rosy colors in it so I would really love this. 

2. Lancôme Hypnose Drama Mascara|$31

   I know this was already in one of my wish lists but I couldn't bring myself to buy it, too expensive. So I put it on my Christmas list. This isn't a very "big" gift but I would still like to get it. 

3. Lorac Pro Palette|$55

   I don't necessarily need the naked and this palette but I put both on here so it gives more options. I wouldn't complain if I didn't get both.

4. Sigma Make Me Blush Essential Brush Kit|$155

   This is definitely a big gift. This is something my mom or close family would get me because it is quite expensive. I've been wanting sigma brushes for so long now and I'm hoping this is the year to get them

5. Vera Wang Princess Perfume|$60-$90
   I want a new perfume and this is one I've smelt and liked so I thought I would ask for it. I need to smell it again to make sure but for now I want this!

6. Sephora Favorites Lash Stash|$54

   I love mascara so this is definitely a want. You get so many options, it's just fabulous! I may find a new mascara I love!

7. Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Noir|$105

    Another perfume! This is quite new if I'm correct. I've never had a juicy couture perfume so I really want one and this sounds good. I, again, need to  smell it but I'm sure I'll like it! 

8. Please Return To Tiffany & Co. Bracket and/or Necklace| $140 or $305- bracelet

                                                                                        $330 or $195- necklace

     This is a very extravagant gift but I've been wanting them for a while and I think it would be nice to receive. I don't have high hopes to get these but still it's a dream! I don't care if I get the necklace or bracelet.  

   

 That's all for my Christmas wishlist this year! I know it's not a ton but I couldn't really think of anything this year! And my wishes are quite expensive. I am very excited to see what I have under the tree, don't lie so are you! Hope you are excited about Blogmas, I know I am! Also let me know what you think of this wishlist style instead of my goals thing and only 2 products. I'm liking it better this way so I may keep it for 2014! Until next time, stay beautiful! 

                      What is on your Christmas wishlist? Are you excited for Christmas?
