what's in my makeup bag?

Christmas is just a few days away! I'm super excited, but I'm also gearing up for a really fun trip to Club Med Punta Cana on Monday. I'll be splitting my time the next two days between wrapping presents and packing my new suitcase.

Since I'll be in much warmer weather next week and while ringing in the new year, I wanted to make sure that I packed my makeup bag full of items to keep me bronzed and glowy. To be honest, I've taken a lot less items than in previous years so my makeup case is actually filled with a combination of makeup and skincare products. The full list of products {with links} can be found on my YouTube channel!

plan with me: classic christmas

Christmas Day is just a few sleeps away!

I've been wanting to share more planner related content to show how I stay organized so expect to see this a bit more here. I'll be sharing my exact methods in the new year, but for now, you can watch my latest Plan With Me video to see just how I decorated for this week.

Get ready, it's an explosion of classic Christmas colors and lots of glitter!

festive christmas cookies

I love to bake, but Christmastime is my favorite time to whip up lots of goodies. There's something about the holiday season that really gets me in the baking mood. Everything from cookies to cakes, cinnamon buns to baked donuts - I love infusing all of it with festive flavors of the season.

This year though, I really want to try my hand at recipes I've never attempted before. Of course, I'll still be making cinnamon buns on Christmas morning {from scratch and a family tradition!}, but I've been researching lots of different things to bake in the days leading up to Christmas. These five caught my eye and look absolutely delicious so I just had to share them with you!

And apologies for the lack of posts lately! If you follow me on Snapchat {sheriann_snaps}, you know that my laptop's charger was literally taped to my computer. I've been using it sparingly but don't worry! Videos and blog posts for the next few weeks are coming your way! :]

Happy baking!
