Christmas Eve Traditions (Blogmas 2015 #24)

       In my house Christmas Eve is even bigger than Christmas! My family has a lot of traditions as it is ,but on Christmas Eve it is pretty hectic. So prepare to be overwhelmed!
      So on Christmas Eve my moms side of the family all gets together at night for a huge party. Sometimes this party is held at my house, and if that is the case then the whole entire day is filled with cleaning everything, and setting up tables and chairs since my family is pretty huge! However, if the party isn't at my house then we will spend the day making desserts, or dishes to bring to the dinner before the party. This is always a lot of fun!
      In the early afternoon I will normally start to get ready, so doing my hair, makeup,  put on my outfit etc. Once this is done, I will go to my Aunt's house with my sister (this year I will be driving to her house YAY). At my Aunts house we meet up with my cousins, and other Aunts/Uncles. Then we proceed to go to church for a Christmas mass.
     After mass my Aunts, Uncles, and cousins will all go to the house that the party is at. At this point it is only first cousins, and Aunts/Uncles so we have a dinner before others arrive. This is also when we exchange gifts. After the gifts are exchanged the rest of my moms large family start to slowly make their way in.
    At this point all of the cousins normally break off from the adults, and hang out in my room. Late that night everyone starts to leave. If the party isn't at my house then my family, and I will look at all the Christmas lights on the way home, but normally it's at our house so we just stay home.
    When my family, and I are home we have a few more traditions (it never ends XD). First my sister, and I will each give eachother one gift that we got for eachother. There is really no point behind this exchange other than it is just a lot of fun! Then my family, and I will read the story of The Night Before Christmas since that is what we have done since I was a baby! Next, my sister ,and I will slip into our Christmas Pajamas ,and go to sleep!
    So those are the traditions that my family does on Christmas eve!

Do you have any traditions on Christmas Eve? Let me know in the comments!

Dual Action Moisturizer (Which is better? On Brand Or OffBrand? #2)(Blogmas 2016 #4)

      A post that I am very proud of, and that many of you wonderful readers really seemed to enjoy, was my Which Is Better? On Brand, or Off Brand Beauty Blender Edition . I decided to make it a little series because I realize that I love a good dupe, and I want you to join in my journey to great dupes! So welcome to another On-Brand or Off-Brand post!        I think every person can agree that moisturizer is something that is a necessity in a skincare routine, especially in this upcoming winter season! I know in the winter I get very dry skin, and I know that moisturizer can get quite expensive, so I thought I would try out a store brand moisturizer, and compare it to a Clean and Clear moisturizer that I already knew I loved.      These are the two moisturizers that I will be comparing in this post! The clean and clear advantage dual action moisturizer (I know this one is slightly different but I have used both!), and the Walmart...

Life Is Happening RIGHT NOW

           One thing that I have really discovered about myself within the past year is that I am way too focused on the future. I often find myself planning my future down to the last detail, and daydreaming.               But let me tell you something. This does not get you anywhere. I realized that I was legitimately spending my life just thinking about a life I dreamed of and planning my future in my mind. However, I soon came to realize that life is happening right now. I am living a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing life now, and if I keep daydreaming excessively I will be living more in my fantasy than in my reality. Though this may sound great, reality is truly wonderful.                I soon began to realize, 'oh dang, I must stop daydreaming'. So that is what I did. I prayed, and I worked hard to stop my daydreaming tendencies. Now I have severely cut down the amount of t...

How I Have Deepened My Faith

            A few months ago God truly found me. I knew I wanted to start a relationship with God and with Jesus,but I did not how to begin this faithful journey in my life. However, here I am a few months later and I feel more spiritual than ever. I know I still have a lot to learn,but you always do when it comes to Christ. Here are my tips for starting a relationship with Christ. 1. Pray This is so simple ,but so true. I pray so much. I pray every morning when I wake up to thank God for a safe night. I pray when I am aware I have sinned. I pray before I, or my family eats. I pray before I go to bed. I pray a lot in between. Praying does not have to be a set prayer, you can legitimately just talk to God. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but you get the hang of it as you practice. Remember God knows that you are new to this, and he knows that you are trying and he will help you to learn to pray better. Remember, do not just pray for things, pr...
