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).

Favorite Summer To Fall Transition Piece

So unfortunately it is officially Fall! Summer is over yet I am still transitioning clothing wise! So todays post will be about my favorite transition piece from Summer to Fall! The favorite thing of mine for the Summer to Fall season is the vans style shoe pictured above! I absolutely love vans style shoes just because they can be dressed up and down and they also come in many different colors and patterns! I may or may not own 4 pairs of vans style shoes! However my current favorite are these white lace patternes shoes! The detailing on this pair of shoes is absolutely amazing! They have such a nice look to them that is so much better than just plain white! Not to mention they are easy to clean! Trust me I cannot be trusted with anything white! These are perfect because theydo have a summery feel since they are lighter toned, however they also can be worn with leggings and pants to get more cozy! My absolute favorite part of these shoes though is probably the fact that you can litter...

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...

What I Have Been Up To In The Past Few Months!

           Hello all! So I have been somewhat distant on this blog for the past few months! I have done a lot of religious posts that I absolutely love writing, but I realized that I have been a little distant when it came to talking about other stuff, and what I have been up to! So now I am just going to simply just talk a little bit about what I have been up to for the past few months!           So if you did not read my  2017 New Years Resolution Post  then you will not be aware that I am working hard at learning italian. I love learning new languages, and I have a goal of being trilingual by the time I am 25, and I want to do this with english, spanish, and italian. I take spanish at my school, so I am learning italian at home and I love it so much! It is really difficult to learn a language by yourself though when you do not have the cultural immersion, especially where I am in a primarily english speaking country, ...
