Merry Christmas Morning vlog!

This year we spent Christmas at my parent's house... this was actually the first year that we have ever spent it with them, normally we see them Christmas Eve and then they would come over Christmas Day, except last year because it was the first year we were too far away since moving... so this year it was a lil different than the way it usually is at our house! I decided to share with you all a lil video of the kids Christmas morning, as well as some pics from Christmas Eve too.. This was also a special Christmas because it was Landon's first one!!

love you all!!!

Christmas party OOTN (two different looks)

The second video I am sharing with you all, was also filmed the night of the Christmas party. So we filmed this right after filming the video for the cookies! I love that I can talk my sister in to doing videos with me haha! We also filmed a really long vlog from the party, but I haven't edited it yet!

This was suppose to be an ugly sweater party, but not a single person was able to really find one, so it turned in to just a sweater party lol!

huge hugs,

Quick and Easy Rudolph Cookies

Hey guys.. I have really been enjoying being in TN and visiting my friends and family! The first video that I did since being here was a how to video that my sister filmed with me. It was done kinda vlog style because we did it while getting ready for a Christmas party! In case any of you are wondering where we filmed this at.... it was actually done at my friend Hana's house. She was one of my housemates in college and this is actually the house we all lived in together!

Holiday House Tour

I have always wanted to do a Christmas decor tour and I never do... We are not at our house this year for the holidays, but I was able to do some decorating before we had to go! Unfortunately, I didn't have time to do all of the decorating that I wanted to, but here is what I did get put up before we left.

lots of hugs...

Holiday Gift Guide Under $10

I put together a gift guide featuring things for not only us girls and women... but for babies, toddlers, boys, and men too!

I found a lot of really great lil extra gifts at places like the Dollar Tree that are super inexpensive! Hopefully this will come in handy for at least some of you... The holidays can be super stressful, and not everyone has the money to go out and spend a ton of money on everyone. Especially if you are like me and have a huge family plus kids of your own! So I kept this gift guide all under $10 each!

Jessica James Hair Tutorial

Hey everyone! I can't believe how badly I have been here lately about posting on here. Truthfully, I keep thinking that I have and then like 2 weeks later I realize that I forgot haha! So I decided to do a few posts to kinda catch everyone up a bit.

I am sure at least some of you have watched the new E! show Eric and Jessie. If not, you have probably either watched Eric play for the Broncos, or maybe you have heard Jessie's music before. With all that aside I was slightly obsessed with her hair style and was lucky enough to come across a tutorial on YouTube of her showing how she styles her hair!!

Now, the way she does her hair is a lil different than how I do it in the video. That is because my hair did better for the style by tweaking what she did just a bit. The look is super easy and super fast to do too!

Relieve Stress During The Holiday Mess

For some, the holidays can be super stressful. After all... there is a ton that goes into getting ready for them! Everyone around the world has a different way that they like to relieve some of that stress, and you probably wouldn't believe some of different ways they do so!

In Japan they have beverage pools filled with things like coffee, green tea, or wine in one of their spas. Crazy right?

Over in Iceland they do mineral massages using salts and mud. They also do things like the algae wraps and massages in water. Those probably all sound pretty familiar though.

In Miami you can take an Evian bath that cost $5000 dollars! It uses 1,000 bottles of Evian water. The French mineral water is believed to detoxify and purify the skin. Which definitely does make sense.

Italy has a very unique spa treatment. It is called a "Hay Bath." Basically you just are wrapped up in hay. Hotel Heubad has been doing this since 1903 and it attracts visitors from all over the world!! Locals and even doctors have said this to be a positive but temporary treatment for things like muscle cramps to stiff joints.

Lastly we have Portugal. They do a chocolate facial. Can we say yummy? It is a 40 minute treatment and they use oxygen infused, melted Swiss chocolate all over the face! Did you guys know that dark chocolate is considered the healthy chocolate for the body? It is also believed to fight aging as well as other things.

Now all of these can be a little extravagant... so for me I have a different approach to relieving stress during the holidays! Oddly enough one way that I feel stress free for atleast a few days is to spend a day deep cleaning my house. This is because when my house is clean I feel like it is much easier to relax the next few days and not have to worry about cleaning it haha! On a more feminine note I love to pamper myself, whether it be to give myself a manicure, or take a long hot bath with candles lit. I love to create that spa-like feel when you are unable to actually go to the spa.

How do you guys like to get rid of some of that holiday stress?
