Make-up and beauty are not truly my forte; I do LOVE make-up, but I am no whiz when it comes fancy things like contouring, or mimicing what all of those beauty bloggers can do so easily. I do try to buy the best quality beauty and make-up products, and try to have fun with things like eye shadow and lipstick. Below is a fun but simple beauty inspiration that I try to often emulate - neutrals, pink cheeks, soft lipstick, and liquid eyeliner {image here}:

I posted yesterday {here} that Thanksgiving style can usually go one of two ways: casual with loose enough clothes so you can pig out, or a little bit more dressed up {also loose fitting so you can pig out}.

Another post related to recent cold weather is slightly depressing, but "ice cold" seemed appropriate for a post about some beauty and fashion related items that are various shades of icy blue.

I've never been one to label myself as either homebody, or someone who loves to go out; I thoroughly enjoy both, and have a few items that suit either a night at home on the couch, or out for dinner or drinks. Below are my current favorites for either: a great candle and face mask for a night in, and fab accessories and bright lipstick for a night out :) {PS Columbus - Candle with a Cause is now sold at Whole Foods in Dublin!

In order to feel a little less sad after Christmas being over, I keep my tree up and lit, and get REALLY excited about New Year's Eve!

Between Christmas Eve and Christmas, I actually like Christmas Eve better; maybe because the anticipation of Christmas morning is so exciting, but I tend to get more dressed up on Christmas Eve. Below is my inspiration for Christmas Eve this year which includes a little black dress, fun earrings, and a messy up-do!
