Hello everyone! My name is Greta and today I am going to be telling you all some christmas life hacks for the holiday season because sometimes we need little tricks/hacks to get out of tough holiday situations! So please follow my blog and comment down below if you have any christmas life hacks I didn't mention! Also, one of my best friends has a blog and she is great with holiday articles and I believe she is posting every day in December leading up to christmas so  click this link to check out her blog ! Lets just get started! 1. This is a makeup hack because we all love a red lip during the holidays. SO if you want your lipstick to last all day, apply it as usual and then apply a translucent powder on top of that and then apply another layer of your lipstick and it will last all day! This only works with literal lip sticks though, not liquid lipsticks. 2. Get wrapping paper, bows, and gift tags and such from the dollar store, that way you won't waste money! This was ...

Hello everyone! My name is Greta, and there is no doubt that the holidays can be a very stressful time, and many people are so busy thinking about others, they forget to treat themselves! So today I thought I would tell you how to treat yourselves! Its true that christmas is about giving though! So please comment down below how you like to treat yourself during the holidays and I am actually thinking of coming out with a sequel of this called "how to give back during the holidays" because even though treating yourself is important, its more important to give back! Please follow my blog and lets get started! The first way to treat yourself during the holidays is to have a holiday spa day. I like to make my own sincare products, such as scrubs and masks, so I like to make my famous peppermint scrub and a nice chocolate mask, (if you want to know how to make my chocolate mask  Click this link  ). So I will just take a hot shower and then use a mask and then a scrub and its...

Please comment down below your christmas eve night routine and follow my blog! Lets get started! I spend a lot of my afternoon and beginning of evening getting my grandmas house (where we stay over the holidays) ready for the christmas eve party! This includes setting tables and decorating and such, but then around 45 minutes before the party I go upstairs to get myself ready. I start with skincare, I am going to start by applying a face mask to my face for some extra hydration, I prefer sheet masks, and then once 5 to 10 minutes has passed I will moisturize and get started with my makeup! I just use foundation (too faced), concealer (wet n wild), powder (la colors), bronzer (too faced), highlighter (too faced cream highlight then my elf powder one), eyebrow pencil (anastasia beverl...

Hello everyone!

I don't want to make this intro too long so lets get started! Please follow my blog and comment down below if you travel during the holidays and whether or not you enjoy traveling during the holidays! Lets go! This is the same type as the purse I use for car trips. Its a Dooney and Bourke "Spicy Quilted Saddle" according to poshmark "spicy quilted saddle" is its name. I don't understand why.

Hello everyone! My name is Greta and today I am going to be showing you all three outfit ideas for christmas time! Warning, my camera was no working at this time so these are not my clothes, they are outfits I found online! Just thought I would give a little disclaimer, but anyways! Please comment down below if you have any christmas article recommendations because I am running out of ideas and follow my blog! #1: This look is perfect for a holiday party you might be attending around this time of year. This outfit just includes this red semi turtle necked sweater, this white skirt, red heels and a red bag! I would take away the sunglasses and add a coat and tights if I were to wear this look because it gets colder where I live. #2: This outfit is super cute and casual for maybe gift shopping or going to get a casual hot chocolate. Its just this super cute red sweater that says "noel" and some plain jeans and reindeer slippers! Its really casual but still cute! #3: ...

Hello everyone! My name is Greta and last year I did an article about stocking stuffers and I thought I would do another one this year, these are the perfect stocking stuffers to request, and they can also be great secret Santa gift ideas, so please follow my blog and comment down below your favorite of these stocking stuffers! Let's get started! Beauty: 1. The first idea for a stocking stuffer/secret Santa gift is a travel sized face wash because let's be real, everyone likes face washes, and if you don't, well, I guess this is not a good gift for you. Anyways, in target they have a section for travel sized items and you can get a mini cetaphil facewash that I really love, and they have a few different ones. 2. The second stocking stuffer idea is some lip liners because they are cheap, easy to apply, and just generally nice to have. The nyx lip liners are amazing and so are the wet n wild ones, so yeah. You can never have too many lip liners. 3. The next stockin...
