My Favorite Christmas Movies

There are a ton of Christmas movies out there, but when it comes to my favorites, I sort of have an odd bunch. I grew up with most of these and have loved them more and more over the years. These are some that I have to watch every year, no matter what. Without further ado, here are my Top 5 Favorite Christmas Movies!

5. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

#5 was a tie between Rudolph & It's a Wonderful Life. I usually lose patience while sitting through It's a Wonderful life though, so Rudolph it is.

4. Elf

There are several times when I feel like Buddy the Elf during Christmastime. This movie just makes me so very happy.

3. Christmas Eve on Sesame Street

I grew up watching this movie every Christmas Eve with my family. Unfortunately, I think we've lost the VHS tape of it, but I found it on YouTube here! It still warms my heart every time I watch it.

2.  Unaccompanied Minors

One underrated Christmas movie I'd say. It's a silly movie for sure, but it sort of makes me want to be stuck in an airport for Christmas.

1. Eloise at Christmastime

This is my all time favorite Christmas movie. I love everything about this movie. The songs, the love stories, Eloise, and Julie Andrews of course. Again, it makes me want to live in a hotel during Christmas. And it really makes me want to visit New York at Christmas. If you've never seen this one, I highly suggest you do!

Everyday Summer Makeup

During summer I like to keep makeup to a minimum. I like to blame it on the heat-- that any effort put into my makeup will quickly become a mess in the humidity-- but I think it's just because I'm lazy. If you actually catch me on a day where I've actually taken a bit of time to get ready, this is probably what I'm wearing.

Revlon's Photoready Concealer is an all time favorite of mine. It works well to cover up my blemishes & under-eye circles. I think this is the third one I've bought!

I've been using Revlon's Nearly Naked Powder (which is alright) & the Real Techniques Multi-Tasking Brush (which is amazing) to try to mattify my skin.

I make sure to brush through my eyebrows with this comb I got in a travel kit & curl my lashes with e.l.f.'s Eyelash Curler.

Then, I use my fingers to apply some shadows from CoverGirl's Shimmering Sands Trio (it varies from day to day). And finally, I add put on some of CoverGirl's LashBlast Mascara.

That's it! 4 products and I'm good to go. I'd love to know what some of your everyday essentials are!
