Blogmas 2016 Day 12

Hi My Beauties

Happy Christmas Eve.

Today I had a Girls Xmas Pajama party. We had such as good time. It feels good spending time with girlfriends.

We enjoyed our time listening to music and watching Christmas movies. We had a menu of crabs, mussels, shrimp, chicken and plenty of cocktails.

See pics below of our festivities.

Just one more day until Christmas and I finished 12 days of Blogmas. Yayyyy

I am very proud of myself and hopefully next year I will be able to do 25 days of Blogmas.

I had a wonderful time sharing with my Beauties.

Until next time, Be Blessed 🙂

 

 

Blogmas 2016 Day 7

 

Hi My Beauties

I want to talk about giving back during the Christmas season.

I will be giving back to a toy drive my daughter’s Cosplay Philly organization is having. The toy drive is for children ages 5 to 11. I’m very excited to be able to help out a few kids.

Another organization I gave to was Convoy of hope via Dancember which was started by youtubers Judy & Benji a couple of years ago.  Donations help to feed children all around the world.

It always feels better to give than receive and it will definitely help you get into the Christmas spirit.

How are you giving back this Christmas season My Beauties?

Until next time Be Blessed 🙂

 

 

Blogmas 2016 Day 6

Hi My Beauties

Lets talk about how to get into the Christmas spirit by staying upbeat and positive.

First thing you can do is put on your favorite Christmas carols, pour yourself a nice glass of wine/beer and start putting up your decorations.  Next thing you can do is bake christmas cookies, fix your favorite meal or invite friends over for cocktails.

You can drive around your neighborhood searching for the best Christmas lights or stay inside watching your favorite Christmas movies.  You can volunteer at a homeless shelter or give to a toy drive.

Whatever you choose to do make sure you’re doing it with a smile and remember… Happiness is a choice, so choose to be happy.

Until next time, Be Blessed 🙂

Blogmas 2016 Day 3

Hi, My Beauties

I would like to talk about what Christmas means to me. It feels a little bit different than last year.

This year I’m living in the moment, excited about decorating the tree, listening to Xmas songs, shopping and cooking. I still love watching Hallmark Christmas movies and spending time with family & friends.

Christmas this year is all about making happy memories, enjoying life and being grateful for what I have.

This Christmas is going to be great because I believe it will be. Happiness is a choice and I choose to be happy.

What does Christmas mean to you, My Beauties?

Until next time be blessed 🙂
