holiday outfit inspo .
Although I've already seen a lot of these types of posts but I figured I'd try it out myself. So here goes:
holiday outfit #1 |
I've seen a lot of red, black, and gold trending this winter. I love the combination myself, but for those of you not really into this I made up a few others. The next features silver instead of gold and more of a berry color for the accessories.
holiday outfit #2 |
And for those of you who like a little color:
holiday outfit #3
The last one I wanted to be a little more relaxed (not in the shoe departement, obviously. Haha!) with the jeans look.

gifts for everyone - dad
Here are some of the gift ideas I thought up for all those Dads out there. They are probably the hardest to buy for in my opinion.
Which of these things would you be most likely to buy for your Dad? Any other gift ideas?
Next up, your sisters!

gifts for everyone intro -
So guys, I was just thinking that I don't post as often as a "blogger" should and I was trying to brainstorm on something I could write about. What I thought up was this: Y'know in those magazines how there are two or three pages devoted to finding/buying gifts for certain poeple in your family? For example...

meela's musings on...anxiety •
Earlier tonight I was reading my devotional, Breakfast with Jesus by Greg Laurie, and I came across a chapter titled "The Worst Sin You Can Commit". Toward the end of the chapter there was one line that stuck out to me, that really didn't have a whole lot to do with the subject of the chapter. It read "Why not let him do what He really desires to do? Why not come to Jesus?" And then it hit me. All He wants for His children is to take care of them and hold them. To make sure they are safe in his arms.
For me personally, it's hard to let someone else take control. I never wanted to be seen as a "control freak" but I guess you could call me that. If I don't have a hold on something or I'm not positive about a plan I have, or the outcome of certain events I get major anxiety. this feeling is always there and if I'm not anxious or worrisome about one thing, I am about another. It's this never ending circle. What I need to learn from all of this is that all God wants to do is take care of me, His daughter. I need to learn to literally:
Do any of you guys struggle with these things?

December's here!
Do you feel that? The chill of Winter air? It's all coming so quickly. The Christmas rush, the wrapping (and buying) of presents, the warm winter sweaters, putting up the tree, and other Christmas traditions.
My wishlist this years is pretty long (when is it not haha!). With all the new sites I have been finding through other blogs (see my recommended blogs, they're awesome!) I have been going crazy finding all this stuff online that I would love to see under the Christmas tree.
As much as I love to look and shop for these things, I think we all need to remember is how this all started. Isaiah 9:6- "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." This Christmas just try to take the time to remember that this holiday is about our Savior, who grew older and took every sin off your own back and onto His, forever forgiven.

Autumn inspiration...
Autumn has become one of my favorite times of year. It hasn't always been
this way, but as I've gotten older I've enjoyed the warm scents, cool air, and
crisp leaves so much more.
The other exciting part of Autumn is the cozy clothes you get to wear. Some
of my favorites are the warm, fuzzy sweaters and cute scarves.
I just love getting dressed in the morning, drinking my cup of coffee and
starting the day right, and feeling good about myself. If you're like me,
most days you opt more for comfort and forget about all the cute clothes ideas
once you get up, but this year I'm going to try to be more adventurous with my
outfit choices.
Here is some Autumn inspiration for your outfits:
Blonde + Blonde v neck cardigan, $40 / Stella McCartney elastic waist pants / Reiss gold leaf ring / Suzi Roher woven belt / Autumn fall leaves - Autumn photography - Mustard orange - Painting...

DIY Makeup Brush Containers !
As your makeup brush collection starts increasing, the need for something proper to hold them in increases too. Although there are a variety of different types of makeup brush holders you can buy, why not just save the money and make something just as cute?
via |
There are so many creative and fun ways to make your own makeup brush container. Here's how I did mine:
I filled up a regular glass jar, container, or vase with sea glass. The options of what to fill the container with are endless. You could use beads, marbles, multicolored glass gems, microbeads, basically anything you can think of!
The reason you would want to put something in the glass is not only to make it look beautiful from the outside, but also to keep the brushes upright and to make sure they stay put once they're placed inside.
Other affordable designs you could use are empty soup cans covered in spray paint or pretty scrapbook paper, Ball jars with ribbon tied around them, or old mugs that you no longer use.

Those are just a few ways to organize and design your own makeup brush containers without the cost!

New Blog!
hi guys !
I started this blog for the purpose of sharing my views/ inspiration/ ideas, etc. of the fashion, photography, cooking, makeup, DIY world. I have found so many blogs that give me so many ideas or projects and inspire me to try out new things. So, I decided to make one for myself so I could also dive into this blogging world. I hope to be inspired and inspire others. Check out the link list in the left sidebar to check out some of my favorites!
I have gotten more and more interested in these subjects as I've gotten older and I want to try to explore more! I'll share my photography (all photos are mine so far), fashion ideas, any DIY projects I do (or share some of my favorite blogger's), do reviews of certain makeup products I've tried, etc.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I will!
