I really hope you understand but I will be combing the rest of this week into one video or maybe not I haven't really decided but for right now Tuesday's will be with Wed. Thanks so much for understanding. See you Wednesday with the two day Vlog! Also check out Blogmas here too! XO SCD

Its the 2nd day of December! Hi friends, Welcome back for another Blogmas post. Today I am suppppppeeerrrrr busy with appointments and class and the list goes on and on and on. I am squeezing time here is the a.m. to have a quick post up. Even though life gets very hectic I try to remember what makes me happy during the crazy times. Like holiday shopping, my family, and of course the blog! I love writing everyday or almost everyday. Now with Blogmas I feel there is a certain expectation that comes with it so I have to live up to it. For today I thought it would be fun to share some holiday traditions I have with my family. Just something quick, fun, and easy for today. Something that my family and I do every Christmas is travel to my Dad's side on Christmas Eve and spent lots of time with them like going to church, opening presents, and having our meal together. Its a great time. On my Mom's side we go to my other grandparents on Christmas Day. We spend the whole day ...

Hi friends I am releasing todays Vlog with the link for you to watch through YouTube. Hope you enjoy and stick around for tomorrows! XO SCD

Happy 1st Day od December Everyone! I have been waiting for this day to come since I thought of doing Blogmas in October. Its here and I'M SOOOOO EXCITED! I hope you can feel the excitement through the screen. To start off the first post I want to introduce my self a little more. I currently work with three amazing friends who help me run the blog, they give ideas ad sometimes post. We call each other Bee, K-Bear, and Lala. You will here me speak of them in the Vlog I am posting for you soon. I will continue to post more about our selves on the videos so you will have to watch them to find out more about us. :} Lets get this Blogmas started!! Today's post is about Christmas Shopping . Well today is CyberMonday and boy there are great deals if you are looking for some. I typically have a list of what I need to get and accomplish my goal even before December but this year.This year I have only started with my parents, siblings, and a few friends. I have about 10 more ...

Hi! Today is the very last day of November and that means Christmas is coming fast. I really enjoyed November with the weather and thanksgiving time. November was swell but I cant stop thinking about December...by far my favorite month of all time. PSSSTTT!!!! BLOGMAS STARTS TOMORROW:} I thought I would share with you my monthly November Favorites. Here they are Beauty: Eyebrows have been a key thing for me this past fall so I have been wearing my Anastasia Brow pencil on an every day basis. Love this thing. Another Favorite of mine for years has been my MAC pro longwear concealer. Covers up everything and anything. I am in the shade NC 20 Fashion: My UGG's have come in handy during the snow and the really god temperatures. I love just the plain jane bailey buttons. OTHER: Books that I have been reading a love so far is Amy Poehler's book called yes please. It is so funny and I cant put it down. That's all I really have for favorites t...

Its Black Friday and you know what that means! Crazy sales....Lines....Intense Shopping....and that's why I shop online! Hi friends! Today is considered a national holiday here in the US, a day where people wait outside the night before and wait in lines for the "best" deals yet. Know I cant sit here and say yuck who would ever do that because I have been that person[not the waiting out in the cold part]. My favorite thing about Black Friday is the deals but since the internet has just as good of deals why waste your time when there is free shipping. You save your self all the trouble. Over the past year I have been in the habit to look online because the deals start even earlier and you get first dibs to those waiting for it into the store. I don't know about you but the so called "deals" are becoming not that great. The deals seem to me the same at certain points around the year. Don't get me wrong I still will find some great deals on BF. ...

Hi lovelies! Hope your Turkey Day was filled with joy and food ;} I always try and remind myself to be a little more thankful each year and not just on today but everyday. It is a challenge but there is always something to be thankful. I thought to just put a little post together since I am spending my day with my family. So I am going to get back to my family. Today and Christmas are the days where we have no phones, laptops, TV, or other electronics. It is a challenge but it gives us a clear mind to spend with our loved ones. I hope everyone had a great day! With love SCD contactsoutherncity@gmail.com

Happy Friday Love! TGIF! Today I thought I would share with you my Christmas Wish List sneak peek! Before I get into it I just wanted to say that I am very lucky and blessed to have the items that I have and I am not trying to come off snobbish or bratty I thought this would be a fun way to show you what I want and maybe you would get some ideas! So here is 3 items that are on my list so far. TOMS Black Desert Bootie Wedge :} These are super cute for winter when you want to stay warm and have a little fashion in your outfit. NORTH FACE Black Jacket. Stylish but will keep your warm through any weather. MICHAEL KORS zip wallet. Super cute and I need a new wallet! Well there is a sneak peek into my X-mas List :} I will be doing a full WishList during Blogmas, so watch out for that. Have a great day! XO SCD contactsoutherncity@gmail.com    

Happy Wednesday Friends! We are half way through the week! Thank the lord... For todays post I wanted to share with you a few special surprise I have up my sleeve. First things first My schedule. I have a pretty hectic schedule for the next 5 months and I just wanted to let you in on some fun things that are planned for the future. The big idea is...... I am going to be posting videos of my daily life for vlogmas [ which is video blogging ] . If you have no idea what the heck I am talking about go to www.youtube.com and type into the search bar Vlogmas. You will surely updated then! Vlogmas is a lot like Blogmas but just video blogging. This way you will get to see my life in action and not just through a blog. I thought this would be a good way for you guys to get to know me a bit more. I will be only posting the videos through my blog and no I will not be posting them on YouTube. So you guys are going to be the only ones to see these video clips. I am not sure ...

I know that I posted about Christmas before Thanksgiving... what was I thinking! Happy Monday friends! Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for all that you have. For my family and I we love giving to others around this time of year whether it being serving at our local homeless shelter, our other charities in need of our help. It is a great way to give back and it gives you a great feeling in the end. But don't get me wrong we still love our turkey dinner :} For todays post I thought it would be about proportions. Since I know we all tend to forget that when we have a delicious meal in front of us. I am not telling you that this is what you must do but its simply something that helps me :} Meat sizes: Meat is a great protein which ever kind you have. I would suggest that eating about a hand size serving. Mashed Potatoes :} One of my favorite things to eat but a serving size of a dinner roll will help keep you on a healthy path. Stuffing:} Another favorite of min...

I had been sick for around 2 weeks where I could hardly get myself out of bed let alone try and go on my computer to talk about happy things on my blog.

Hi ladies! Today I figured that I wanted to talk about my favorite Fall Makeup look! I know that most of you know how obsessed with YouTube as I am. So hear is the look I recreated. Basically this is the eye look that was my inspiration. I is a lot similar than I thought. If you don't really know how to do makeup I will be doing a Makeup Monday section with a bunch of How-To's so stay tuned if you want to learn more about makeup. Those posts will be starting next week. Products you will need to create a similar look to this one above. Matte brown eyeshadow Light tan shadow[matte or shimmer is fine] A glitter shadow[preferably a tan shimmer] Black Eyeliner Black eyeshadow Soft brown eyeshadow Matte highlight[optional] So basically the colors are all a similar shade of brown between tans and lights. All you do to create the look is start with you primer. Then you are going to take the matte brown color and apply to your crease and blend blend blend in. Next y...

Hi everyone! When I was asking myself what I wanted to post on Monday I wasn't really sure, then I thought of it. I don't know if any of you have read my profile description on the right side but its states that I will be launching a travel blog in 2016! I am super excited about it, and have been putting a lot of thought into what goes on the blog and everything. So for todays post I am going to be giving you a sneak peak at some of the content that MIGHT go up on the site. Traveling is something that I love to do and would love to do more of. So here we go. Many of you probably don't know that I took a 3 week trip out to the East Coast last summer in July. I went to Boston, New York City, Washington D.C and many other littler towns. I loved every single minute of that trip. My favorites are the three listed. They are all so unique in there own way. NYC is full of energy and endless possibilities. D.C: Is full of history and life. Boston is full of memories...

Hi lovelies! ♡ I have to apologize for the absence of my regular postings, I have been terribly sick these past days. I am feeling much better and am up to posting regularly. So for todays Saturday post I thought it should be on Style. I have not done a piece yet on this segment and I'm really excited to see where I can go with it. To start off this piece we need a name for this. I have a few ideas buy could use your help! Any suggestions feel free to let me know. For now we are just going to call this the style segment. Also this is the first of many WIW. Stay tuned for more to come each week. Clever right;] Lets begin. I have had random people come up to me and ask Where did you get that from? So I figured lets show you my personal style. These are the items I am wearing on a Fall day. To start off would be my black North Face vest. I love this thing for fall. It is perfect for when you don't want to wear a full winter coat. I like to pair my vest with cute sweaters and...

Hello Lovies! For todays post I thought it would be fun if shared some of my favorite makeup products. I have bought these items continuously over the last 3 years and I would recommend you to try them out. Most of you probably don't know that I LOVE makeup so much. I love recreating looks and trying them out in myself and other people. I have had my fair share of bad products [which will be a upcoming post] that I wish I wouldn't have spent my money on but I wouldn't change it for anything. I have 5 items here that you need to try out! 1st is this L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara in Carbon Black. If you like long, and full lashes this is the mascara for you. I love the way it makes my lashes look and feel like they aren't to clumpy. 2nd product is Revlon Colorstay Foundation. If you are into foundations and haven't tried this out you are really missing out. It has amazing coverage and lasts for a long time. 3rd product is my Naked Basics palette. If you are a ne...
