The True Meaning Of Christmas (Blogmas 2016 #9)

        Yes, it is fun to bake Christmas cookies, to decorate trees, and your house,but do you celebrate what the true meaning of Christmas is?
         Christmas is meant to spread joy to others because of the coming of Christ into the world. Jesus was born on the 25th of December, and the time leading up to Christmas is to help us prepare for the second coming of Christ, whenever that may be. Not enough people celebrate Christmas for what it truly is. Most people love getting presents on Christmas, and there is nothing wrong with this. However, you cannot forget to celebrate Jesus's birthday for more than just presents. We need to have joy in our hearts not because of the new doll, or new iPad we just got,but more because Jesus was born on this day. On December 25th , and all of the days leading up to it, during the whole entire year,we all need to strive to be like Jesus was. We must do this through our actions, thoughts, choices, and how we treat one another. However, on December 25th and during advent we need to do this more than ever. We need to help those less fortunate than ourselves, and spend time with those whom God has blessed us with!
           So this Christmas season take a break from the presents, and the decorating, and appreciate the true meaning of Christmas and honor it!

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...
