For the first Saturday (Caturday) of December, we decided to take on Classic Christmas characters. I let my Discord decide between a few iconic characters who I could become. They ended up deciding I would turn into the Grinch. And I seriously love how this turned out.
I was tagged by the incredible Jenna over at J.K. I’m Exploring to do a fun Halloween tag and I couldn’t pass it up. Check out her blog if you don’t already follow because she puts out some amazing content. This tag was created by Jordanne from The Life of A Glasgow Girl (the header image from hers).
Continuing on with my seasonal creative makeup looks, I did this snowman look inspired by @vocallyshook. To be honest I have not built a snowman in many years… I think the last one I made was in college and then for a class assignment we had to do something against social norms, which promptly lead to me making at least part of the snowman in my bikini. It was extremely cold, and I regretted it immediately. But hey it led to an interesting memory and photo (not that I’m showing it on here).
One of my favorite Christmas movies of all time is How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey. I could honestly quote that movie all season long and even after that. So, when I saw Peachcait over on Instagram created a look inspired by the movie in an ornament, I knew I had to do my own version of it. While hers is half of her face, I kept mine as added detail to the look. Mainly as I can’t wear colored contacts and I wanted to do something I little bit different. Check out her original version of the look as it is incredible!
‘Tis the season for Advent Calendars. I didn’t any for myself this year, but after seeing videos from Nicol Concilio and Jenna Marbles where they made ones for their dogs, I decided make one as well. Only mine also includes a “treat” for myself, that being starburst that I still had from Halloween. I had a lot of fun making it.
The Christmas cheer is just kicking off and a lot of places around Minnesota have month long celebrations. From magical shop fronts to decorative light displays, there’s always something to go see. I’ve round up some of those places so if you’re in town or decide to visit you can find something to see or do.
