If I don't already sound like a broken record, then I will now. I don't enjoy wearing a lot of makeup as I once did. I'm not sure if this has to do with age? The last few years my makeup routine has only become more and more minimal as the time went on. Lately, I have really been embracing a more minimal natural look and I couldn't be any more pleased with the outcome. I've also been very lucky that my skin has been treating me so well which really allows me to be very minimal with my makeup. Recently I picked up a few new products and I have been using them religiously. Today I am going to share with you the products I have been absolutely loving and constantly reaching for in order to embrace a minimal look.

Today I have for you guys a fun new little series, my ornament collection. Since our Christmas Tree is officially up and filled with ornaments, I decided that every Monday up until Christmas Eve I will be sharing a brand new post featuring a hand full of some of my favorite ornaments. Forewarning these posts will consist of a lot of Disney a.k.a. Alice in Wonderland ornaments. Ya'll already know the obsession! I try to pick up at least one new ornament a year and as I mentioned before during trips to Disneyland I would also try and purchase an ornament, or two, which turned into a tradition of mine. I want to begin a new tradition with you guys where I share new additions to my ornament collection throughout the years. Without further ado, here is the first installment to my ornament collection series.

I haven't shared a collection related post with you guys in such a long time and it's time I changed that. I feel this is the perfect time to share a brand new collection in which consists of my designer bag collection! I have to admit I have had this on my blog post idea for several months now and never got around to completing it until now. Watching handbag collections videos on Youtube are one of my favorite videos to watch, along with 'what's in my bag' videos. It's so much fun to lust over someone else's collection and a fun way to see more of other's style. My collection has changed so much over the years. My tastes and style have also evolved since then. At this point, I am very content with how my current collection looks like. So without taking up any more time, if you are interested in finding out more regarding my designer bag collection just keep on reading.

Welcome back to my blog! Today I am giving you guys a second dip into the Museum Of Ice Cream! That's right you read it correctly. Rudy and I loved our first visit to this museum so much we just had to re-indulge ourselves in the experience. If you haven't seen the post and pictures I shared of our first visit to the MOIC then I would recommend you check that post out as well! Now if you're ready let's jump into the sprinkles pool and begin with today's post!

In today's Food Series post we are visiting a cute Italian Pasta & Pizzeria Cafe restaurant in Santa Clara called Mio Vicino. The first time we visited this place was during one of our visits to California while we were still living in Washington. My cousin treated us to dinner here and we both quickly became fans of the food. Back in September, for mine and Rudy's wedding anniversary, we decided to have dinner here since we both had been dying to go back again and of course it was the perfect occasion to do so.
