So here is number 1 of three Not a Vlogmas. We don't film everyday but we show you all the Christmas fun we have leaing up to the big day! Starting off Vlogmas we have Christmas Tree lighting ceremonies and finally being one of the last people in the world to put up there Christmas Tree. Shopping in the West Bottoms in Kansas City, Missouri where they have all the best antique Holiday Decor. We also love the fun Fake Snow Canon that they had this year. Most of all having a great time at Ugly Sweater Parties. We have much more fun to come with Christmas Events and Christmas lights. So stay tuned and if you enjoy this video give it a thumbs up and subscribe!

So the Grimm's Indie Faire  happened back in October for their first ever show at the El Torreon . They are having another event, the Grimm's Indie Consume & Create event which will be taking place on December 9th here in Kansas City, Missouri. If you live local, it can give you an opportunity to shop for that last minute gift and a sneak peek at what you can look forward too. We believe in supporting local businesses especially around the holiday season and we encourage you too as well.

With the first of December here, we take a last look at Fall fashion. Great news is that even though the winter months are getting closer, the weather outside has not changed from Fall. More leaves are on the ground and a nice pumpkin latte makes for good shopping conditions. Layering is big this season and great for transitioning to colder weather or even snow. Hope you all enjoy and stay tuned for Not a Vlogmas soon.

    This weekend is well celebrated in the U.S.  You have Thanksgiving, the official Holiday on Thursday, where family and friends come together, give thanks and enjoy a good meal.  Then the day after is known as Black Friday, typically the biggest shopping day of the year besides Cyber Monday.  I’m sitting in line, in fact, waiting to shop Black Friday deals at a big department store as I write this blog.  While all of these huge retailers have gotten hype over the years, small businesses have taken a backseat, fading away from the minds of consumers like you and me.  Yet, I really enjoy shopping small businesses whether local or online.  They are the backbone of our economy and even big businesses first started off small.  I feel like smaller companies take a personable approach to business, as they develop relationships with their customers.  What's better is if you shop locally, taxes from their business benefit your community and promote growth.

So I know that it is November, not September, but things have been so busy that the last three Self Health September videos never went up. I wanted to still share my experience so it would help others with their health journeys. The last fifteen days of the month were the most worth it for me, between getting over my food cravings to learning that I really like yoga. Soon I also learned the importance of not looking at the scale every day because muscle weighs more than fat. 

As every beauty lover will say, it's that time of the year!  The Sephora sale that matters!  Why?  Because if you're VIB Rouge or VIB, you get 20% off your purchase.  Of course, if you're a Beauty Insider, you get 15% off your purchase.  This runs until November 15, 2017.  Taking advantage of sales is just who I am.  I still cringe at the thought of buying a lot of things all at once, so the items I purchased from  Sephora  still is not as big of an amount as others.  I know!  I watch beauty gurus on YouTube who buy huge boxes full, probably totaling at least $500 or more.  Nope.  I can't do that...maybe one day.  I buy what satisfies me the most, whether it's needed or wanted.
