What I Got For Christmas!

Hey Girls!

Sorry for the lack of posts so far this Christmas break! I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas! I had a a great Christmas filled with lots of love and laughs with my family and friends.

I thought, since alot of other beauty bloggers posted about what they got for Christmas, I would do the same. So in this post I will show what I got for Christmas! :)
 
I thought that I would just post pictures about what I got instead of describing everything. If anyone has questions on what brand something is, or would like me to review or describe something, just comment below and I would be more than happy to do it! :)
 
From my Parents:

My Stocking that my Mom made
 for me when I was little!
From my Grandma:
 


My favorite shirt!
 
 
 
From my Aunt, Uncle, && Cousins:
The complete second season!
From my friend Kylie:
 
Lastly, From my manager at work:
 
 
So there you go! That is everything I got this Christmas! I'm SOOOO thankful to everyone for everything I got this Christmas, I hope you've all had a fantastic Christmas time!

Christmas is just about here!

Hey ladies!
Today is Christmas Eve, I cant believe it! I dont know about you, but for me it still doesnt feel like Christmas! :( It could be the fact that this year Canada has hardly any snow. It is really wierd seeing grass and not wearing a winter coat when usually it is almost 30 below!
Since Christmas is tomorrow, tonight I did my nails (after triming most of them...), and for a Christmas theme, I added Santa to my art! I made cute Santa faces on all of my nails.




Do you think they are cute??

I just want to wish a Merry Christmas to all my wonderful followers! Your comments and love means sooo much to me! Have a wonderful day tomorrow, and Happy Holidays!

DIY: Hot Cocoa

Hey everyone, and a early Merry Christmas!
It is crazy how fast Christmas is coming! I am super happy that I was able to get the last of my families Christmas presents today :)


Lately I have been making this Hot Cocoa instead of Hot Chocolate, and I have to say that I am loving it! It isnt as sweet as Hot Chocolate, but it is a great recipe and is less than 100 calories!




What you will need:
1 Tablespoons of Unsweetened Cocoa
1 Tablespoons of White Sugar
1 Tablespoons of Milk (and percentage: Skim, 1%, ect..)
1 Cup (250 mL) Boiling Water (or heated milk)






How to make it:
  1. Blend 1 tablespoon (15mL) of Unsweetened Cocoa with 1 tablespoon (or more, depending on how sweet you would like it) of White Sugar. While you are doing this, start boiling 1.5 cups of water. (I always like to boil more water than needed just in case ^.^ )
  2. Mix in 1 tablespoon of cold milk, and mix until smooth. This may take a few minutes.
  3. Once your water has boilied, pour in 1 cup of boiling water. You can also use milk, I just perfer to use water
  4. If you would like, go ahead and add some marshmellows, whipped cream, and cherries! (I usually dont, but hey maybe you do! :) )
 This is a great winter treat! Especially for cold days!


Nutrition Info:
1 Tablespoons of Unsweetened Cocoa: ~10 calories
1 Tablespoons of White Sugar: ~ 30 calories
1 Tablespoons of Milk (Skim): ~ 5-10 calories
1 Cup (250 mL) Boiling Water: 0 calories
                                                       ------------------
                                                        ~ 50 calories


Wow! Only 50 calories for Hot Cocoa! Not only is this fun to make yourself, but it has way less calories than packaged hot chocolate :)
If you do uses 1 cup of milk, or more sugar, the calories will increase.




If you try out this recipe, let me know if you like it!!
Have a wonderful week, and Happy Holidays!

Candy Canes To Christmas!

Hey Girls! Christmas is soon approaching, and I am getting into the Christmas season more and more every day! Tonight I did candy canes and snowmen on my nails for this week's NOTW! I think they are so cute :)

What do you think?...

I filed all my nails down! :(



How cute is this snowman!?

I don't have all the nail polish colors with me right now, but I used a red color by Maybelline New York, and applied Red Velvet by E.L.F. over that. I used my nail art brush with some white polish to draw on the candy cane lines and the snowman! I used a black to detail the snowman. Once I finish that I used Sassy Sparkle by L.A. Colors to add sparkle to the snoman nail. After that I applied my top coat and thats it!



Have a great week! xox,

Winter TAG!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Hey girls! Today is the first week of advent, which means 4 more weeks until Christmas! Boy the time just flew by. To get into the winter season, maybabytumbler from Youtube did a Random Winter Question Tag. Tags are always fun to do. Hope you like it!

1. What item of clothing do you love to wear in winter but wouldn't be seen wearing it in public? This might seem odd, but Lulumeon Athletica short! I wear these all the time when I’m at home! Even though it gets really cold, I love wearing them because they are soo confortable! I also do track, so that could explain why I find them so comfortable.

2. Most wanted item for winter? I have been wanting these for a while now actually, Mukluk Boots. So many girls at my school wear them and they look super comfortable! Whenever I go to school I always wear clothes and boots that are comfortable, and these are a must have for me this season!

3. Favourite boots to wear in winter? Knitted Ugg Boots! I don’t know about you, but I think that these are the cutest boots that look good with any outfit! Whether you wear jean or sweat pants, they look good with anything :)
4. Are you a fan of UGG boots? Yes I am :) Like I just said in the above question, they are super cute and can be worm with practically anything!

5. What is your most worn item for winter? This would have to be a tie between Ugg Boots, Lululemon Athletica Pants, and oversized/ Grandpa Sweaters. Winter is a perfect time to dress in warm clothes and mix-and-match knits and holiday prints. I especially love the outfit of cute boots, leggings, and a cute oversized sweater :)

 

6. What is your favourite winter trend? I really am loving prints. Printed sweaters, shirts, even leggings, I’m loving them all. I am also loving furs (faux of course!), leathers, and anything with feathers!

  7. What is your typical winter day consisting of? Warning: Not very exciting haha! On Mondays to Fridays I wake up and get ready for school, go to school for the day then come home, go to track/ workout, then do any homework and or study for exams, check my computer and blog :), then do my ab workout, shower on odd days, and go to bed!

On the weekends I wake up, get ready for work, go to work, come home and do homework or anything for my blog, depending on the day but hang out with friends, come home and go to bed!

8. Cup of tea, hot chocolate, or coffee? I really love tea because there are so many different flavors of tea, but also because it helps my throat when its dry/sore. However, lately I have been loving the coffee my mom drinks! It is a mixture of French vanilla and medium roast beans. It tastes real great, and also give be energy throughout the day!
 



9. Do you like or dislike that it's starting to get dark? I’m torn between the two! I love how it stays dark until late morning, but I don’t like how it gets dark early! It always makes everything seem so much later than it actually is. I do love when the sun is out, and it is a nice sunny day and the sun makes the snow sparkle like there are diamonds in the snow, I love how that looks! So like I said I’m torn lol.



10. Christmas is coming, do you have any idea of what you want? Yep! I have already made a list :) I am planning on posting one as it gets closer to Christmas! I can’t wait :) haha.


Hope you enjoyed this tag! It was fun to do! I decided for this tag, that I tag everyone who reads this! I would love to hear your answers to these questions :) Send me the link to your post when you do this tag!

Happy Holidays girls
