NEW BLOG DESIGN

Well Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you a year filled with happiness and health. As you probably know I created a new blog design for 2014. It's now live on my blog so be sure you check it out. The whole design was created my me, all me with tips from Life Set, Sail or Brittany.

I will be keeping this design for awhile, I may make a new one for 2015 but for now this is the design I'm sticking with. If you are wondering, every design aspect was made with PicMonkey if your interested in making your own design.

Thank you everyone for a great 2013 and here's to another amazing year! 2014 I'm ready for ya! A new post should be up later today.

FAVORITE POSTS OF 2013

Well goodbye 2013 and hello 2014! The new year is here in less than 24 hours and I couldn't be more excited. As my last post of 2013 and to leave this year on a positive note, I decided to share with you my favorite posts in beauty, fashion and lifestyle that I've come across. It's sort of just a big link up to all my bookmarked posts!

Beauty

Rimmel Apocalips- Across the Universe and Eclipse

• This was written my the lovely Kristie at A Yellow Brick Blog. I was really intrigued by these colors and she gave me the insight I needed! Thanks for your helpful post!

Tangle Teezer Review

• This lovely review was written by Claudia at Beauty and the Chic. I was really debating on whether I wanted to buy the tangle teezer and after her review, I needed to pick it up!

Starting Off: Bronzer

• The amazing Stephanie over at Stephanies Look wrote this darling post. She introduced me to a bronzer for pale skins like myself. I still need to buy it but its on my list for 2014.

Holy Grails: Worth the Hype

• I'm sure you all know who she is but the amazing Elle from Dreaming in Blush wrote this little gem. She mentioned the Beauty Blender which helped me in my decision. She also took very popular products and spoke the truth about them! 

Fashion

Winter Wonderland Outfit-

• This outfit post from M+K at mkstyleramblings was so adorable. They showed me some very cute peices which I had to pick up but sadly couldn't get my hands on. I still need this outfit in my life!

• Fiona over at Makeup and Beauty Blog posted this DIY for the dim winter lighting. Its a very smart idea and is very useful as well. Check this out if the zero daylight as got you in a rut.

Confidence

• This super inspiring post by Patricia over at Milkshake Break got me thinking. She may not post anymore but this post is still a gem and very helpful. Go over and read this right now!

Tips for Starting a Blog

• Last but certainly not least is the whole reason my blog is here. You probably know of her but the amazing Emily at Beauty Brodcast wrote this little beauty. It inspired me to start up my blog so this post pretty much changed my life. Its also surprisingly really helpful!

That's all the posts that I've read, liked, bookmarked and now shared for all of you! This is all a collection of June-Now because that's when I started seriously reading blogs and made my own. I hope you check out some of these gems of the inter-web and enjoy them as much as I did. Happy New Year Everyone!

BLOGGING GOALS 2014

Hello there my darlings. Sorry for the lack of posts lately but I have been busy spending time with my family and just enjoying the holiday season. I was meaning to sit down and write so many times but it just never happened, oops. With the new year approaching us very quickly, people start making new years resolutions, decluttering and reinventing themselves. I decided to write up some new years resolutions I have for my blog and share them with my readers.

1. Make more quality posts

I want to spend more time on the posts I write by actually taking more of my own photos and planning out posts not just spur of the moment writings. I think this could improve my blog drastically. I always find myself waiting till 10pm to write a blog post making it not very good.

2. Write more for myself than others

It's not that I only focus on other peoples opinions when it comes to writing but I tend to look at other bloggers and take ideas off of them which I view as not acceptable. I want to actually think up my own ideas and only use others as a stepping stone to help.

3. Continue writing on a solid schedule

If you've been following me through September-November(I think...) you'd know I was on a Tuesday, Friday and Sunday posting schedule and I followed it pretty precisely. I want to continue on with a post schedule, I'm thinking Tuesday and Friday and maybe throw in a surprise posts once in a while. I want to lessen my posting load so I can follow goal #1.

4. Reach at least 100 Bloglovin followers

I know bloggers putting their follower goals out there isn't the most well liked thing but it truly is one one my goals and I just want to get it out there. I don't just want pity follows or follow for follows, I want true followers which makes this goal so much more. 

5. Take part in every #bbloggers chat on twitter

The chats open you up to a world of supporting fellow bloggers/friends. I want to take part in them so I can gain strong online friends and have someone to go to for blog support. I plan to take part in everyone unless I have a personal matter to take care of. I also want to join the #lbloggers chat but that's only sometimes

That's it for my 2014 Blogging Goals, please let me know if you want me to do trimonthly updates(every 3 months). I don't know if that's something your interested in. Hope you have a wonderful and amazing 2014. What are your 2014 goals?

CHRISTMAS EVE JOY!

Happy Christmas Eve my beautiful friends! I just wanted to wish you all a happy and safe Christmas Eve.  I also wanted to say thank you for all the supporters I have gained in the past 6 months of blogging. My goal is to get to 50 followers by 2014 and that's only 4 people away and I'm beyond excited. Blogging has been the best choice I have ever made and I wouldn't give it up for anything. 

Christmas is the season of giving so I want to remind you all that don't just focus on giving people material items but give people encouragement, love, respect and help. Take time out of your Christmas schedule to help people and make their day, trust me they will appreciate it. Say Merry Christmas to your neighbors, friends, family and even strangers.

Most importantly, take this time to be with your family and friends. Get off of social media and technology as a whole and just enjoy each others company. Don't take anything for granted and if you are a fellow blogger take the day off of the blog. Just spend time with your family, you can always post your Christmas outfit post on the 26th you're not going to die. Christmas is meant to be with the people you love not reading what other people are doing through a screen or writing to strangers what you wore. Please just do it, you'll enjoy Christmas a whole lot more!

Thanks a so much everyone. Merry Christmas Eve Everyone and talk to you tomorrow (maybe) for the last day of Blogmas.
