Cute Christmas Gift Idea (Blogmas 2016 #3)

      Later on in blogmas I will have a post on an east Christmas gift idea, but I love this idea so much so I thought I would write about it early since it takes some time.
      A lot of people love to bake for Christmas. Whether it is Christmas cookies, or making a meal for Christmas night. I love to sew, and my family and I always bake/decorate Christmas cookies together, so what I did was I sewed them all (and myself), a Christmas themed apron. Now, you may not be able to give this on Christmas day unless the person you give it to will use it when they make Christmas dinner, but you can always give it to them to use the next year, or give it to them as an early gift.

       Even if you have basic sewing skills this apron is extremely simple to make! If you don't have a sewing machine you can even hand-sew it if you want to (this just may take some more time). However, if you do have a machine then it will only take you an hour to two hours to make the apron. Also if you are reading this and it isn't Christmas time then you can just make a normal apron for yourself or for a gift
       The way that I made it a 'Christmas' apron was that I used fabric with a Christmas pattern on it.
At Walmart they have a large variety of Christmas fabrics, and even one with Christmas cookies on it! However, since I made my Mom one for her birthday I got a black fabric with Santas, reindeers, and snow on it because she mentioned to me that she liked it.
        I used this YouTube video called "How To Sew A Simple Apron"to make the apron, so creds to her completely. The only thing I did differently was that I did not use the pocket, and I also altered the measurement on the top and side to make it so the top of the apron went to the end of each collarbone.
       Have fun! And if you end up making this gift then please tweet me a picture, or tag me in a photo of it on Instagram (@mflbeautyblog on both).

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...
