have a holly jolly christmas.


It's almost here.....the countdown to Christmas is getting smaller and smaller. Today is Christmas Eve-Eve, if you believe in that sort of thing! Let me just say, I am ridiculously excited. My work is winding down for the holidays (or at least I hope so) and I am gearing up to dedicate my time to family, friends, and traditions. There is still so much to do. Like bake goodies, watch movies, and finish up all of the decorating, wrapping, and other preparations. Since this is my last Christmas living at home, all of these moments seem even more important somehow. I am doing my very best to take the time I need to cherish those moments and create special memories that will last long after I get married and move out.

That is why I am taking a mini-break from blogging. I will still be around, commenting, and checking in on all of you.....but I am going to refrain from actual blog posts for the rest of the week. When I return? You can expect lots of exciting posts after that, full of makeup reviews, Christmas stories, concert pictures, hauls, and some other special posts. In the meantime, I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.

Whatever you celebrate - and however you celebrate - I hope that the season brings you joy. Life can feel stressful and overwhelming sometimes. The holidays really work to put it all in perspective. This is a time for showing love, dedicating time, and helping others. My wish is that all of you are able to do those things and so much more. So, have a wonderful holiday with the people you love. You deserve it! I am going to end this post with a few quotes and pictures that capture the spirit of the season. Enjoy.....


A very Merry Christmas from the creation of beauty is art. Have a fantastic holiday, everyone!

  1. Hi Shannon! During these Christmas days I like to dedicate my time to my family and friends too! I think it's so important to be with people we love! One of my traditions is watching as many Christmas movies and cartoons as I can! Wish you a wonderful holiday season and thank you for always taking the time to read my blog <3
