Baked By Melissa: Christmas Edition

I didn't want to feel the Christmas spirit until I had these cupcakes today...I was set on being a grinch until I had the hot cocoa and donut (which I thought was eggnog) cupcakes

Love. I'll be back for more

Homemade brownies and red velvet treats. . Which are nice also

My Trip

What did the experience teach me?

That I don't know anything about life
That I cannot judge anyone for anything they do

That I am not who I think I am
That my mind is good at making me believe certain things

That I live in madness

What did it really teach me?
Fear is a good motivator
I'm neither above nor below anyone
I'm grateful for the world I'm in. . It has its beauty
I'm grateful I recovered
I pray my mind isn't still twisted

The importance of meditation and stillness

Simple no-fuss makeup look.

Also a 5 minute look and no-makeup makeup look

This was definitely a challenge but it's good for those mornings I wake up late

The middle shade in the wnw sunset to see trio was used all over the eyelid and on the lower lid and to fill in brows and the third shade was used as blush

Also revlon toast of New York is great for subtle color on the lips

Shopping My Stash

I was going to go to ulta to get the Lorac skinny palette. .. then i remembered that I have 2 that I barely use at home

The main goal of shopping my stash is decluttering because having too much of one thing gives me anxiety
