Alice in Christmasland!
Alice in Christmasland! by sarahisofficial
I love Christmas! I love the scents, the colors, and the joy that comes with this holiday! I especially love the outfits! Bright reds, forest greens, and silvery whites! Today, we went to Target and they had these glitter gift boxes in every color, I about died! Sorry, random moment I just had to share, ha. Anyways, in this look it was all about color! Red! One of the most known holiday colors is red, and it's bright and beautiful, I love it to the moon and back! I love the red, Mary Jane platforms, aren't they gorgeous! It's the height of them that sweeps me away into my personal wonderland, ha ha. The red headband just tops of the red look with a cute, feminine twist. If all of the red is too much, a nice green or maybe a silver would work with this outfit. I would also totally pair this look with white tights.
Hope you all enjoy this Alice in Christmasland look! Good luck with your holiday shopping, festivities, and love!
Sitting at home with my heater on full blast, Sarah. Xx.

Violent Lips Lip Tattoos!
Today, I am going to blog about my opinion and thoughts on this crazy, but fun makeup trend! This trend is Violent Lips Lip Tattoos! You'll see stars wearing these all over the place, (The Kardashians, etc.) Look at some of these babies!
The last ones, worn by Jessie J, are completely edgy and crazy, but so much fun! I personally would probably not wear them because I would be fearful of hurting myself, haha, but I would wear all of the other ones! These babies are an eccentric trend, but any fashionista could pull them off!
Hope you have a wonderful Monday full of love, laughter, and light. I hope you're able to get back into the groove of things before we are once again swallowed by the whimsical holiday that us Americans call Christmas, that's right, not "Xmas," "Christmas."
Snuggled in jammies, about to do an art project, Sarah. Xx.

Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! My weekend was full of movies, music videos, and thoughts of "If I had a lot of money I would..." haha. In the midst of all of that fun, I was able to make a pumpkin pie cheesecake. Now, unfortunately I wasn't able to take a photo of it because the batteries on my camera died. :( So, I had to find one on the internet that looks a lot like how mine turned out.
Recipe:
Serves 8.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2 eggs.
2 8 oz. packages of cream cheese.
1/2 cup of sugar.
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
1 can of pumpkin puree.
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg.
Ready made graham cracker pie crust.
First, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in one bowl. After smooth, add in eggs one at a time until blended. Second, set out graham cracker crust and pour half of the cream cheese mixture onto the bottom of the crust, spreading it thinly across the bottom. Then, you can add in a cup of pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth. Once smooth you can pour this mixture onto the top of the first layer of the pumpkin pie cheesecake. Spread evenly.
Put into oven for 45 minutes. Once it has been baked for 45 minutes, put into refrigerator for 3 hours.
Then, enjoy with whipped cream and family!
It should turn out to look like something like this:
Hope you like this recipe! It is really yummy and my family loved it!

For all of you who have lost someone:
I would like to give a special shoutout to all of the people here on my friends list that have lost somebody close to them. When you lose someone close, whether it be a grandparents, a parent, a sibling, an aunt or an uncle, maybe even a daughter or son, it hurts. People tell you that as time goes on it gets easier...as somebody that has lost two people very close to her, I can tell you that's not... always true. Somedays it feels like your scabbed is ripped away from you and all of this pain floods back in, and I can almost promise you on holidays and birthday those scabs are more likely to open. It also makes you realize what really matters in life, and little fights just aren't worth it. Family, and friends matter. Not money, not tvs. So, for those of you who have lost somebody who you absolutely loved and adored, my heart goes out to you. Just know that all of your hurting hearts are in my prayers and I hope your hearts fill with love and healing. Sarah. Xx. ♥

It Was Black Friday, Friday.
And ya gotta get down on Black Friday. Ha. I was apart of what looked like this. ^^^
So, last night or early morning (?) was my first experience with Black Friday shopping. I went to Target with my friend Brittany, my mom, my sister, and my younger brother. Brittany was the only one with money (sad I know) so we helped her get a few items from the Black Friday madness. We ended up going shopping last minute, at dinner actually we were talking about how crazy Black Friday shoppers are and within an hour or so we became them, strange I know. Anyways around 11:00 we arrived at Target and ended up standing in a line that wrapped allllll the way around the building, and I am not exaggerating. I didn't even know our tow had that many people in it...
Anyways, we stood in line for about 50+ minutes and we tagged along, slowly making our way to the front of Target, where a huge mobbed stood, people slowly snuck in with the line, those cheaters! So we finally got in, grabbed a cart and went crazy!! Just kidding, we went shopping...and crazy at the same time. There were people everywhere, luckily I was not pushed or shoved or ran over or any painful stuff like that. Thank goodness! The worst thing about Black Friday: Having to stand in line forever. Another bad thing about Black Friday: When you have no money and you're helping your friend get all of these amazing deals. Not fun...ha. It was a good experience though, Target was very well organized and with how packed the store was the cashiers still had smiles on their faces. I plan on going Black Friday shopping again, except next time planning more, and actually having money! Hope you all had great Thanksgivings and safe Black Fridays!
Sarah. Xx.
