Hello Lovelies!

It's finally December! The tree is up (has been since November, whoops), the lights are on, and the snow has arrived. It's funny, I had written out this little thing about my December posts being a Not So Blogmas Blogmas, and here with are with my first post of the month. A few days away from Christmas. 🤣

Time has really escaped me this year.

Anyway, not so happy about the snow, but what can ya do? Along with all the holiday cheer comes some dry skin and frizzy, static-y hair. So I've been on the hunt for some new things to try. And I think I found some good products that are worth sharing.




I really like going to the beauty and skincare section of department stores and seeing what kind of discounted brand name products I can find. I happened to find two new items I've never used before.

The first is the I Dew Care Straight Radiate Moisturizing Gold Gel Cream. I was a little confused by this at first, but it had cute packaging, so I couldn't leave this on the shelf. How I used this was probably not the right way. I put this all over my face and applied my foundation on top of it. Which definitely worked because it gave me a subtle glow without making me look like a disco ball. A very real fear because that's one hundred percent what I looked like before my foundation. I think this is probably used as a gel highlighter and you're only supposed to use it in the places that you want, and not the whole face. Oops.



I don't typically use face oils. I have that awful combination skin with a high inclination of oil in my t-zone, so staying away from it is usually better for me. But when I saw this, I figured I would give it a try. I loved the packaging. I thought it looked rather elegant and high end, without the price tag. I've never heard of this brand, but the Truly Organic with the CONTENTS INCLUDE NON-ORGANIC AND NON-NATURAL INGREDIENTS gave me a chuckle.

Using this is quite nice, however. I try not to use too much, but just the right amount has my face feeling hydrated and comfy. There's no itchy/dry feeling like I usually feel in the winter months. I'm not sure how often I'll use this once spring comes around, but for now it's been helping me out. It doesn't smell, which is always a plus!

I got both of these items from TJ Maxx, but I found them at Ulta and linked them below.

Hello Lovelies.


Not so very cheerful the last few days and I got to thinking if it was just because of the weather or if I'm actually really sad. What better time to ponder on such a thing than during the holidays?

The last few days I've gotten into the habit of thinking about my past and it's made me feel pretty lousy. You start thinking about everything you could have done differently and if you hadn't done one thing, your life would be completely different now. It's that different that I've been wanting. Would I be happier? Would I be living somewhere else? Would I be doing the same thing and wondering what would have happened if I did it different?

These are things that I'll never know, because unfortunately, we don't get the chance to go back into the past and change our lives. Damn movies for making it seem like things like that could happen. Right now, at this very moment, I wish it could.

All of this started because of a dream. I can't even remember the dream, but I know someone from my past was in it and here we are. If I hadn't had that dream, would I be happy now? Or is the snow and the cold and the grey dreary days making me feel like nothing is as it should be? There are too many questions and no answers available. Nothing to do but wait it out. Honestly, just sitting down and writing this out is a tiny bit helpful. I might not even post this, so if you're reading it, then I got brave.

Sometimes I also feel like I'm walking around with a smile plastered on my face. I play pretend for others, so they don't ask how things are going. Why I don't want to share my feelings with others is beyond me, but it's something that's been taking a toll. Maybe I should get a therapist? I don't know, but helping all the other people in my life and acting like I have my life together isn't working anymore.

Unfortunately, I have no advice for others who may feel like this. How can I give advice when I don't know how to help myself? Drink your water and exercise, I guess. That's supposed to make us as humans happy, right?

Can 2020 please bring about happy change?
