Okay. So I have my Cinnamon Sugared Doughnut candle burning, got a cup of Trader Joe's Candy Cane Green Tea on my desk, and I'm ready to blog. For the next 25 days. I was thinking to myself this morning, I'm feeling quite in the holiday mood and have been pretty into blogging for the last month, so I'm going to try my hand at Blogmas this year. Pretty much, I will be blogging everyday in December until Christmas. Of course I'll be writing lots of holiday-themed posts, but sprinkled in here and there is going to be some beauty chats, home decor ideas, crafts, baking, and some other random fun bits and bobs. On top of that, December is going to be my kick start into healthy habits  month so everyday I'm going to write one healthy habit I did each day. I'm really hoping this will be a success, but apologies in advance if I miss a day here or there.

Here's a sneaky peak of some posts to anticipate!

DIY mason jar snowglobes

Holiday cards

Holiday themed sugar cut-out cookies

My holiday apartment tour

Winter fashion favorites

Holiday makeup tutorials

I have some other non-holiday posts planned, but I'll let those be surprises. I'm seriously super excited about this.

Blog Refresh!

Whew. Intern year is a quarter (if not more!) of the way done, and I'm finally on my first two-week *paid* vacation! It feels sooooo good to lounge around and do nothing. I have a bunch of posts coming up in the next two weeks, so get excited. Much to talk about. I started playing around with makeup and beauty products again, so more beauty themed posts are going to be posted very shortly. 

However, before all that I wanted to do a much-needed blog refresh. I spent over an hour picking out a template (btemplates.com has a bunch of gorgeous blog templates, by the way!), editing the HTML, and colors....anddddd I gave my blog a new name! Cupcakes & Sparkles was nice, but didn't really sound right together. So I decided to rename my blog A Sprinkle of Sparkles. It sounds happy, positive, girly and I love anything sparkly. The content's still going to be the same. A mish mash of beauty, lifestyle, cooking, baking, and a sprinkle of fashion here and there. 

I'm absolutely in love with everything turned out. Hope you guys like it too! 

August Blogging!

Hey guys! Now that things have settled down a bit, I figured I'd take on a new challenge for myself and blog everyday this upcoming month! I know I've been majorly slacking on posting, but this year has just been so intense. But good news is that I recently finished my main clerkships, my acting internship, and Step 2 CK. So just a few more core rotations and Step 2 CS (which is just pass/fail) separate me from being totally completely done....well except for the whole applying and interviewing thing, which should be more exciting than studying for exams. Anyway, I wanted to blog most, if not all, days in August. I really love writing and sharing my opinions on beauty, so I'm quite looking forward to the challenge. I have a few ideas jotted down, so hopefully my efforts will stay strong and I'll complete this endeavor!

Plus August means one month closer to the best season of them all, FALL!
