Sometimes we get so caught up in what happened in the past, or we get carried away with plans for the future, that we often forget about the present. Photo Source: Zoella.tumblr.com via Pinterest Don’t get me wrong… I believe that it’s okay to reminisce about the past or to be excited about the future. For instance, I can wax nostalgic about going to the Tennessee Valley Fair last fall and the great time I had with my friends Katy and Tresa.

I decided that instead of “new year’s resolutions”, I’m going to make small goals for myself. 1. Wake up when the first alarm goes off in the morning. 2.

Beauty Review: QVC's Christmas Advent Calendar
Just before Thanksgiving, two of my friends and I purchased the QVC Christmas Advent Calendar. Katy, Cindy, and I couldn’t until December 1st so we could start discovering some of QVC’s top selling beauty brands, like Josie Maran, IT Cosmetics, Mally, Kate Somerville, philosophy, and others.

It featured 24 hair, skin, or fragrance products from 21 different beauty brands. It contained sweet little surprises every day! Unbeknownst to the other, we each put on the […]
