Merry Christmas and Welcome to the launch of my blog! There couldn’t be a more beautiful time of year to bring this to you – The Christmas Season! Such a joyous time of celebrating the birth of something new. It’s also a time of giving, and a time of receiving! I am a giver! And I can’t help but think of you this year as I am planning out my gift giving.

As a token of my appreciation to all the love and support I have received from each and every one of you, I would like to share some holiday cheer, and do a little giveaway. It is because of you and your kind requests, that my blog has been thought about, prayed about and came to conclusion. I am thrilled to have followers both young and old and I love the interaction I have with both. As I was planning out my personalized gift to share with one lucky subscriber, I decided upon a gift that my young following base would enjoy for themselves, but one that ladies of my age would enjoy, as well … whether to give, or split up the products between themselves and other loved ones. As you know, I love all things beauty, and I know for myself, I would absolutely love to receive a customized gift full of such pretty delights. With that being said, it is a pleasure for me to give this gift and put it in the hands of someone else who shares in this love of makeup & all things girly.
