Keep The Christ In CHRISTmas (Blogmas 2016 Day 19)

           I saw a really hard-hitting sign when driving down the street today. There was a banner at my local Church that said: 'Keep The Christ in CHRISTmas". This sign hit me really hard. I realized right then and there, that many people do not see Christmas at Christ coming to Earth anymore, but rather they see it as a day where you get presents, and spend time with family. Now do not get me wrong, I love the fact that people spend Christmas with their family, and I think that is an amazing part of Christmas, but we need to remember that Christmas isn't just some random day of the year designated for gift-giving, but it is rather a celebration of Jesus' entry to the flesh.
           Christmas has truly become something that isn't as meaningful as it should be. We should all be joyous, merry, and peaceful during Christmastime. Not stressed out buying gifts, and working on Blogmas posts! This Christmas I urge you to look past the gifts, and the decorations for joy, and look to the Lord. Christmas should be seen as a Holy day, and time of the year. It should be taught to children that Christmas is a celebration of our Savior's entry in to the flesh, and instead of focusing on the gifts on Christmas day, that we should have Jesus in our thoughts through most of the day.
            I am not trying to tell you that you shouldn't be excited over Christmas gifts, because it is perfectly fine to be excited over them. I am just asking that you take the time to be thankful, and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. Instead of stressing over Christmas gifts, prepare yourself with praying and reading the Holy Bible, for the coming of Christ. When you are in the midst of opening presents, remember that Jesus died for you, and was born on this day. Most of all, spread God, and God's kindness through your thoughts and actions during Christmas, and the time leading up to Christmas, as well as all year,but especially Christmastime.
          Please, spread this message, whether through your words, or by posting the link. And please go to mass, at least on Christmas/Christmas Eve, and pray every night to your Lord. Jesus dies to give us all eternal life, and redemption for our sins, so repay him a little bit by making time for him in your heart!

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, ...
