Makeup(less) Monday...

Well I didn't go completely bare today but I went with less than normal. I just went with moisturizer, foundation, light blush and liquid eyeliner. I put a little wing on my eyeliner to give it a little umph! No eye shadow or mascara today and it was nice and refreshing! My makeup wasn't too heavy or too extravagant! Sometimes less is more! Happy Monday!

New bows!

I made a few new bows this evening! I love bows and making them! I wanted to have a variety to choose from for Thanksgiving!! Here are a couple of them! Hope you enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving Eve!!

Tomatoe soup and grilled cheeses

Tonight my husband and I had a friend over for dinner and a movie. We watched our first Christmas movie of the season! I am usually a stickler about not watching or listening to anything Christmas till after Thanksgiving but this time I made an exception! I am just so excited about the holidays!! So we made tomatoe soup and grilled cheeses for dinner and then for dessert we had brownies and hot chocolate with peppermint chnops! It was yum yummy!! I so very much enjoy nights like tonight...just a chill evening at home with good food and people I love! I think that is what I enjoy most about the holiday season!

Bows!!

I am a bow fanatic!! I love the fact that I am a girl so why not add a bow to feel extra girly!! Here are a couple photos of me sporting some new bows that I have made! They are made of felt, which is another one of my favorite things!!

Makeup(less) Monday...

Oh Monday's. I have come to love the day. As a cosmetology student I am off on Monday's. So today I dubbed Makeup(less) Monday! The one day I don't have to get my face on! It will only last for a couple more weeks so I better enjoy it! There is something about going without makeup that is uncomfortable yet fantastic!! I feel more vulnerable, more exposed but I think it is great! Why not make myself shine even without my face all done up?! I feel as though I should smile more to make sure I look good and not totally haggered! So perhaps you should try a Makeup(less) Monday?! To encourage yourself to not just rely on your make up to look good and feel good, but instead embrace your naked beauty and shine away!!
