Ah! Where did the time go? November completely flew by and I can't believe it is already December! November was such a busy month between work, college, my birthday, and Thanksgiving. I was focusing on everything that needed to be done versus what I would have liked to be done... a.k.a. my blog posts. However, I am finally back and ready to blog! I was also hoping to do some sort of vlogmas on my YouTube channel but it is already December 7th!! A little late for that I suppose. Plus my life is basically work, school, and sleeping so it wouldn't be too entertaining in the first place. I don't have anything beauty related to write about today, so I figured I could talk about my day yesterday and anything else that comes to mind. So yesterday started out differently than usual. I actually had the opportunity to sleep in for once! For my job I usually am awake between 4:15 to 6:30 a.m.. The time depends on my shifts which can begin at 5 a.m. in between 8 a.m. Normally it isn't much later than that though. Today I slept in until... wait for it... 11 a.m. That's right, ELEVEN. It was so wonderful! Of course, I woke up around 6 a.m. since I am used to it, but I fell right back to sleep. I'd like to say that I woke up refreshed but I still felt exhausted all day. After waking up, I spent a good amount of time catching up on YouTube videos that I kept adding to my "Watch Later" list the past couple of weeks. It's a love/hate relationship with that button. I am alwayyysss adding videos to the list! haha. I then showered and took my time with a full coverage makup look and a slight smokey eye, though I forgot to take a picture and it is now almost 4 a.m.... whoopsies! After glamming myself up, I worked on an Excel project for school and met up with my boyfriend so we could work on our assignments and study together. And then we went to our last session of this class! Whoo! (So excited for Christmas break). I hadn't really eaten all day so after class we grabbed a quick bite to eat from Taco Bell and headed to TJMaxx to do a bit of Christmas shopping :) Definitely one of my favorite things to do! I picked up a few gifts for my momma and one for my dad. Once I got home, I made stickers for my Erin Condren Planner! As I was practicing with my sticker machines (I got them for my birthday last month!) I was using sketch pad paper. The paper was a bit too rough for my liking though so last night I tried tracing paper. So far, so good. It's a smooth paper and I enjoy the shade of the colored pencils and Sharpies on the paper. I can get the right size for my planner since I can easily trace the vertical boxes and I had a lot of fun making them! I know they aren't the best looking nor that pretty, but I like them because I made them and had a good time doing it. It was also 4 a.m. when I originally started writing this blog post so the quality of the pics are definitely not the best but there's a slideshow below of my homemade stickers if you're interested! All three of my sticker makers are from the company Xyron. The machines are hand cranked and the adhesive works really well. I am enjoying my gifts very much! I think I am going to end the blog post here and brainstorm some ideas for seasonal posts. I hope you enjoyed this post! :)
