Jolly Blogger Questions & Answers

1. Do you open your gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?

I open all my gifts on Christmas Day, from my parents and relatives.  But, on Christmas Eve my sister and I each get to open one gift from our parents. 

2. Favorite Christmas Song?

My favorite Christmas song right now is Santa Tell me by Ariana Grande. It's so sweet and christmasy ( if that's a word ) I just love it! I also really like Christmas in the Sand by Colbie Callet.  I wish I could spend Christmas at the beach, I'm not a fan of frost! 

Santa Tell me

Christmas in the sand

3. Favorite Christmas/holiday Movie?

Every year starting when I was about 7 I always watch "The year with out a Santa Clause", so I'd say it's my favorite holiday movie.  To this day I still love it and sing along to the songs haha!

4. Favorite Christmas decoration?

My favorite Christmas decoration is defiantly the lights, they are so pretty and light up a room beautifully! I keep some of mine up year round. When people go all out with the lights outside their house it looks so festive! I just love driving by houses in December to see all the lights. 

5. Favorite Christmas Food?

Homemade mash potatoes and cranberry sauce, basically my meal for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can't put into words how much I love this combination, defiantly my favorite holiday food!

6. Favorite Holiday/winter drink?

My favorite holiday drink is of course from Starbucks; The Salted Carmel Mocha Frappe (With soy milk so I don't get a stomach ache).  Yes, most people like warm drinks in the winter, but me, I prefer Frappes.  The Salted Carmel Mocha Frappe is absolutely delicious and I lovveee the carmel chocolate combination!  

7. Snow or no snow?

I like a bit of snow, only enough to cover the grass, other wise its too much!  I'm a warm weather kind of person and unfortunately the winters in New Jersey are brutal. 

8. Do you send out cards or no cards?

My family sends out cards every year, either including a picture of my sister and I, or of the whole family (sometimes including the dog too).

9. Do you secretly still believe in Santa Clause?

I would say that I believe in the magic that thought of Santa brings to the Holiday season, how excited it makes all the children.  I remember the holidays I would get so excited to see Santa, it was fun and magical to believe.

    

10. Your favorite winter clothing item?

Hands down my pink Uggs! They are so soft, cozy, and match my girly style exactly!  I've had them for four years now and they still remain my most prized, loved, and worn winter clothing idem. 

11. One beauty product that you cannot be without this winter? 

My First aid Beauty Ultra repair cream  is my holy grail winter product!  It saves me from the dreaded dry skin and Exama that likes to show up in cold winter weather. 

12. Best Christmas Memory?

I have so many Christmas memories that I love, but I'll share one from when I was pretty young.  My whole family would always purchase these santa shaped ginger bread cookies and on christmas eve we would decorate them together with squirting icing and M&Ms.  I look back and remember how much fun it was to decorate these cookies and how much of a mess my sister and I made!

New Youtube channel // Spring hair tutorial & ways to wear and personalize it

Hi every one! I have some very exciting news…… I started a youtube channel!!!  The channel is called Beautyybychloe and it's on Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle just like my blog!  All you lovely readers can subscribe to my channel HERE.  It would make my day if even a couple of you subscribed!  Now what I am going to do on top of regular blogposts is make blogposts that go along with my videos, where you watch the video and get a little extra from the post or vise versa!  This post today is going to be the very first of that kind, the video shows you how to create my favorite spring time hairstyle and this blogpost explains different ways to wear and personalize the look.

Warm spring days call for pretty, girly, easy, hair styles that keep the hair out of your face in the beautiful weather.  So today I have for you a tutorial on one of my favorite springtime hairstyles that fits  that description exactly and how to wear and personalize the look!  First, here's the tutorial!

This hairstyle is so pretty with the soft curls, and the pastel pink bow that I got from Claire's adds a girly and fun element to the look that perfectly captures the feeling of spring.  A great option for those warm spring days where you want your hair out of your face and are tired of the same old boring pony tail. 

  A great thing about this hairstyle is it's not to formal or casual, so it can be worn almost anywhere. Here are some ideas of places to wear this hairstyle and ways to style it:

 ~Out to lunch, paired with a sundress and sandals for a girly dressed up look. 

  

~For a walk on the beach, paired with a floral skirt and sunglasses for a carefree beach vibe.

~To school, paired with a pastel blouse and light wash jeans for a sweet and simple spring look.  

This hairstyle is versatile and the hair accessories are of your choice.  

Here are some other ideas of hair accessories that can be worn with this look besides my choice of the  pink bow:

   ~Flower clips 

~ A ribbon

~ A headband

~Barrettes 

I hope you enjoyed the video and post!  Now you know how to create my favorite spring time hairstyle!  Be sure to subscribe to my brand new youtube channel and tell me in the comments how and where you would wear this look!  Until next time!
