One of the best things about this time of the year is watching all of the holiday movies and specials. Every major TV network is wrapping up their fall seasons to transition to the winter TV programming block. But during this lull it can be hard to find something festive to watch.

Luckily, streaming services have jumped on this opportunity. Netflix has scored some holiday content and even created some of their own original holiday movies. Here is my little guide on what to watch on Netflix this holiday season!

Classics

White Christmas — Sadly this is the only holiday classic that is currently streaming on Netflix.

Romance

Love Actually — This classic holiday rom com is iconic and a must watch.

Christmas with a View — A failed restauranteur and a celebrity chef work together at a ski resort and fall in love along the way.

Christmas Wedding Planner — A wedding planner's big break comes crashing down when a handsome private investigator is hired to disrupt the upcoming nuptials she has worked so hard to plan.

You Can't Fight Christmas — A decorator who loves Christmas meets a Scrooge-like businessman, her task is to make him love Christmas.

The Spirit of Christmas — An attorney falls in love with a ghost that haunts an inn in Vermont that is for sale. Seriously? Where do they come up with these ideas?

Family

How the Grinch Stole Christmas — The iconic Jim Carrey version of this Dr. Seuss classic is currently available to stream. If you haven't seen it before, it is definitely a must watch this holiday season!

Mickey's Once upon a Christmas — Mickey Mouse's take on holiday classics is one of the best things to watch during the holidays. If you want more Christmas Disney magic check out Mickey's Magical Christmas and Mickey's Twice upon a Christmas.

48 Christmas Wishes — The letters to Santa from a small town accidentally catch on fire and it is up to two elves to retrieve all the missing wishes.

Get Santa — Santa mistakenly gets arrested and it is up to a father and his son to set Santa free and save Christmas.

Beethoven's Christmas Adventure — The classic Saint Bernard is at it again, but this time with some festive antics.

Dreamwork's Holiday Classics — This collection is filled with the Dreamwork's holiday specials that feature characters from your favorite movies like Shrek, Madagascar and How to Train Your Dragon.

Christmas in the Smokies — Taking place in the Smoky Mountains, a woman is tasked with saving her family's historic farm.

Santa Buddies — You'd be surprised how many holiday movies involving animals are currently on Netflix. If Christmas and dogs are your thing check out this movie along with the other installments.

The Christmas Project — Four brothers who get bullied end up showing some holiday charity to their bully and learn a lesson about kindness.

Comedies

Bad Santa — This raunchy comedy involves two criminals that disguise themselves as Santa Claus and an elf in order to work at a department store to achieve their plan of robbing the store. Bad Santa 2 is also available to stream.

Netflix Originals

The Princess Switch — A baker and a soon to be princess discover they look identical and trade places during Christmastime. Vanessa Hudgens stars in this holiday version of The Prince and the Pauper.

The Christmas Chronicles — A brother and sister accidentally crash Santa's sleigh and team up with Santa to save Christmas. This Netflix original is perfect to watch with your family this holiday season.

The Holiday Calendar — Kat Graham plays a photographer who inherits an antique Advent Calendar that predicts the future and points her to love.

Christmas Inheritance — In order to collect her inheritance, a socialite must visit her father's hometown and learn the value of hard work and helping others. This Netflix original premiered last Christmas but didn't get too much buzz.

A Christmas Prince — This was Netflix's breakout hit last holiday season, in fact a sequel for this movie came out just recently. Spoiler alert: it's called A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding.

There you have it! Now you have a variety of holiday movies to binge watch all season long. I honestly can't wait to watch the Netflix Originals along with How the Grinch Stole Christmas. What movies are you excited to watch this holiday season? Until tomorrow!

One of the best parts of the holiday season is when all the tv channels start playing all their Christmas themed movies, tv show specials, and who could forget the holiday classics that always air around this time of the year. In fact, Freeform (formerly known as ABC Family #NeverForget) has one of the best lineups during this month. Every year starting on December 1, Freeform begins their 25 Days of Christmas programming. Every day until Christmas Day you will find nothing but holiday movies and specials on this channel. Sometimes they play other movies during this time like Pixar or Harry Potter movies, but the majority of the content is Christmas/Holiday related.

This banner shows what the main attractions are for each night. But have no fear, you don't have to wait for the evening to catch the movies. In fact, Freeform starts playing Christmas movies and specials around 7AM each day and continues to play them until midnight every day. You can check Freeform's daily schedule and even their upcoming daily schedules online. If you do not have access to Freeform on your television, they do offer an app you can download or you can go to their website and watch live from there. However you do need to have a TV provider login or an account with an online streaming cable service to be able to access it.

Throughout the holiday season you can watch classic movies like The Santa Clause, Elf, Christmas Vacation, The Polar Express and many more on Freeform. But Freeform also shows their own holiday specials and movies. You can watch previous ones like The Mistle-Tones, Holiday in Handcuffs, Holidaze, Snow, Christmas Cupid and many more. Are these movies the best? No. But if you need a laugh and are in the mood to watch a cheesy holiday themed movie that has a little romance to it, these will get the job done. This year, Freeform introduced a new original holiday movie called Angry Angel starring Brenda Song and Jason Biggs. I for one am really excited to watch this movie, it looks funny and sassy!

Speaking of new movies and premieres on Freeform, this year there is a new addition to the movie lineup for the 25 Days of Christmas. This year, you'll be able to watch the holiday comedy Christmas with the Kranks. It will debut two weeks from today on Saturday, December 16 in the evening after Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Freeform will also show some Disney Parks holiday specials. The first one to air will be the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings reality show that will be all about winter and holiday weddings. So if that's something you're into, check that out on Monday, December 11. For me, weddings are the last thing on my mind during this time of the year. The second special to air is something for all the Disney and Disneyland lovers out there. This one is called Decorating Disney: Holiday Magic, if you ever wondered what goes on when decorating the parks during the holiday season this is going to be the special you want to watch, and this will air on Monday, December 18.

This is Freeform's 21st year putting on the 25 Days of Christmas, so if you haven't tuned in yet, what are you waiting for?! Turn on your TV right now and put it on Freeform and catch a movie to get you in the holiday spirit!

So tell me, what movie are you looking forward to watching this holiday season? For me, it definitely has to be Elf. Until tomorrow

For the past two years, I've been unboxing and critiquing the Glam Bags I receive from ipsy. I've accumulated all different kinds of beauty products. But this past November, I decided it was time to unsubscribe from ipsy.

Why did I choose to unsubscribe from ipsy? Well over the past two years, I've gathered a bunch of different beauty products. Some that I absolutely fell in love with, but a majority of the other products were just mediocre. I would get a lot of the same items and brands all the time. But it was not the "higher end" brands that I wanted to try, instead I mainly got obscure unheard of brands. There were some great unheard of brands that I tried, the only bad part about that was that I could not purchase those items again because those brands were never sold at any of the stores I frequent. But enough about that, here are the final reviews for September and October.

First we have the September Glam Bag, which was a "Glamazon" theme. What is a Glamazon? Well the best definition I could find on Urban Dictionary describes a Glamazon as a woman with an overdeveloped sense of beauty, glamour, and fashion.

So based off this name and theme, this bag should be a total knockout. Let's start with the bag itself, it's super cute and very girly! The color scheme works well together and the print is adorable. It definitely gives of a chic and trendy feel.

So let's get to the good stuff! Inside this Glam Bag were the following products:

• Pixi by Petra Mattelustre Lipstick in Rose Naturelle
• Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask
• ulta3 Nail Colour in Sizzling Red
• IT Cosmetics Superhero™ Mascara in Super Black
• tre'StiQue Mini Highlight Stick in Maldives Luminescent

The Pixi by Petra Mattelustre Lipstick in Rose Naturelle is a dark nude shade that pairs really well with any pink lip liner. The lipstick is matte but not a very good one, it does not last as long as a matte should. The one thing I really dislike about this lipstick is the weird aftertaste it leaves on your lips. If you're going to eat anything take this lipstick off before you eat because you will get a really bitter taste in your mouth.

I always love trying new hair products, especially any kind of deep conditioner, so I was excited to test out the Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask. When I washed my hair I used a generous amount of this deep conditioner and overall I was very impressed! It softens your hair and makes it shinier while getting rid of any tangles! Score!!

When it comes to nail polish, I seem to have the worst luck. I'm really bad/lazy when it comes to painting my nails but I'm getting better with time. The ulta3 Nail Colour in Sizzling Red is a bold color that goes on bright red. The color is almost like a fire truck red shade. The nail polish applies very easily which is nice, the only downside is that the nail polish will stain your skin so be very careful! I had pink fingers for a decent amount of time. This nail polish lasts for a short amount of time. Depending on how active you are you could chip the nail polish within the first couple of days.

I was so excited to see the IT Cosmetics Superhero™ Mascara in Super Black, I've been dying to try this mascara! I heard so many good things about it, so when I tried it I was happy to see it lived up to the hype. The mascara itself is creamy but it does not smudge despite the creaminess. It gives your lashes plenty of volume and adds the perfect amount of length to them. Best mascara ever!

Last but certainly not least, there is the tre'StiQue Mini Highlight Stick in Maldives Luminescent. What I really love about this highlighter is that it is a creamy crayon that goes on very smoothly. Sometimes it is hard to find a really good shade for a highlighter but this shade was almost iridescent, it adds such a nice and natural shine to your face. This is probably the best highlighter I have ever received from ipsy!

Overall, I'd give the September Glam Bag 4/5 stars. I was really impressed with a majority of these products. My hit for this month would be the IT Cosmetics Superhero™ Mascara in Super Black, while my miss for this month would be the Pixi by Petra Mattelustre Lipstick in Rose Naturelle. But now onto the October Glam Bag!

Now we've come to the last Glam Bag I will ever critique, this is a real bittersweet moment. The Glam Bag itself is super cute, it was obviously a Halloween theme. The print of the witches was super cute and it went well with the theme. If you notice, I received some additional products in this Glam Bag. That is because I had enough points to redeem not one but two additional samples with my ipsy points.

Inside this Glam Bag were the following products:

• theBalm Cosmetics CabanaBoy Blush
• Ciaté London Fierce Flicks Eyeliner
• Trust Fund Beauty Gimme Good Face - Face Primer
• MeMeMe Blush Brush
• Ziaja Natural Olive Cream Light Formula
• Luxie Rose Gold Tapered Highlighting Brush
• Nudestix Mini Lip + Cheek Pencil in Mystic

I always get so excited whenever I see anything theBalm, it's one of my favorite brands! So I was stoked to see the theBalm Cosmetics CabanaBoy Blush in my Glam Bag! I absolutely adore the shade, it is the perfect color for a nice natural blush tone while also giving your face a nice glow. What I also love about this blush is that it can also be used as an eyeshadow.

I've been on the hunt for a new liquid eyeliner for quite some time now, but I think I can finally conclude my journey. The Ciaté London Fierce Flicks Eyeliner is everything I have ever dreamed of for an eyeliner. This eyeliner goes on so smoothly and so precise. Even with my shaking hands, my eyeliner was done in one try. With other eyeliners, I would need to start over at least twice. It also does not smudge and it is long lasting.

The Trust Fund Beauty Gimme Good Face - Face Primer is a decent face primer with some texture issues. When you first put it on, it becomes really flakey but once you spread it around your face it starts to get really gooey and soft. It is a weird sensation but somehow it ends up making your face really soft. But from there is does an okay job keeping your makeup looking fresh. After a couple of hours you can't really tell that you were ever wearing makeup.

One of my favorite things to receive in a Glam Bag are makeup brushes! So when I saw the MeMeMe Blush Brush I was excited. What I really like about this brush is that it can be used for any kind of powder. It is a soft brush that applies powder very well and it does not go on too dark, It distributes the powder evenly. You can't go wrong with a nice soft brush that apples well!

The last sample that ipsy chose for me was the Ziaja Natural Olive Cream Light Formula. What's really great about this moisturizer is that is is soothing on your face and it really softens it. The only downside of this moisturizer is that it has a really thick texture and a very generic smell.

The first sample I chose to redeem with my points was the Luxie Rose Gold Tapered Highlighting Brush. Honestly, I picked this brush because it was pretty and because it was a makeup brush, I needed to stock up! It is 100% vegan friendly and works best as a highlighter brush. The brush itself is super soft and it applies very lightly but overall very well.

The last sample I chose to redeem with my points was the Nudestix Mini Lip + Cheek Pencil in Mystic. ipsy has been giving out Nudestix samples for the longest time and I was never lucky enough to get one, so when I saw that one was available to redeem for points I jumped at the opportunity. The shade of the pencil is a nice nude pink that pairs well with any lipstick shade. What is also so great about this pencil is that it is long lasting and it can also be used for your cheeks and not just your lips!

For my final Glam Bag, I'd say it went out with a bang, I'd give it 4/5 stars. The big hit in this Glam Bag was the Ciaté London Fierce Flicks Eyeliner while the miss was the Trust Fund Beauty Gimme Good Face - Face Primer. Both of my samples were a 5/5, they were everything I hoped and dreamed they would be!

Overall I will miss ipsy, it will be sad to not get one of those pink packages in the mail every month. But who knows, maybe something bigger and better is on the way.

Until tomorrow.

There's something about the soap scents for the winter season that makes them much more magical compared to the ones throughout the rest of the year.

Think about it, stores like Bath & Body Works, The Body Shop, Sephora, Ulta, and etc, display their winter themed products and push them out until the end of the month. Remember all those gift baskets already made? I thought so.

Now I don't know if it's just me, but once December hits, I switch out all my normal soaps for these winter scented ones. Now I don't go out and buy all these winter scented products as soon as they come out. I normally get a couple winter scented products for Christmas, and I end up using them the following year. So today, I'm going to share with all you lovely folks my December soaps and smells this year! Now I have a preference when it comes to my soaps, I like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. As you can see those are the only two brands present this season for my soaps and smells.

For my hair and body, I like to use the Philosophy Shampoo/Shower Gel/Bubble Bath. What a fancy product right? Forget two in one, it's all about those three in ones. I use this product year round, and it makes my hair feel amazing! The scents are really creative and they all smell so good. And when December rolls around, I like to get even fancier. This December's scent is: Sugar Plum Fairy! How is that even possible? I have no idea what a sugar plum or a sugar plum fairy smells like, but this shampoo smells fruity and festive. Plus it's glittery, how can you go wrong with glitter soap?

For my body spray and lotion, I'll be using more Philosophy products. These products are the same scent and that wonderful scent is Snow Angel. I got the Philosophy Snow Angel gift set last year, and I fell in love with it. By the end of the year, I had already used up the shampoo/shower gel/bubble bath and body scrub. I'm so glad I saved the body spray and lotion because it smells so good. Even though I live in Southern California, I have experienced snow and I know it doesn't always smell that good. But this Snow Angel stuff smells literally like magic.

Now even my lips get into the holiday spirit. How's that? Well Philosophy also makes flavored lip glosses! I'll be using the Peppermint Bark lip gloss. Now I have a TON of Philosophy lip glosses, especially when it comes to the holiday scented ones. You want to take a guess why? That's right, gift sets. Now I don't wear lipgloss very often, but I like to on occasion. Hence why it takes me forever to use them. Also I'm not a super big peppermint fan, but I really like how this lipgloss makes my lips tingle just the right amount.

And now we're all done with all of my Philosophy products and up next is the Bath & Body Works goodies. In my bathroom you'll find me washing my hands with my Iced Gingerbread Deep Cleansing Hand Soap. Gingerbread by far is my favorite holiday scent. Nothing makes me happier than the smell of gingerbread, and I wish it was a scent I could experience year round.

Even when I'm on the go, my hands are still going to smell good while being sanitized with the Pocketbac Oh Snap! Jolly Gingerbread Anti-bacterial Hand Gel. That's right even my hand sanitizer is even in the holiday spirit. Whoever created gingerbread scented anything is a genius in my book. I guarantee I'll be out of this one within the next couple weeks.

And those are my December soaps and smells! I don't know about you, but I'm going to smell extremely festive this holiday season. Tell me what you think, do you have a favorite scent during the holiday season? Do you think I'm nuts? Am I going overboard with all the holiday scents? Let me know what you think! Until tomorrow! And yes that is officially my new sign off for Blogmas!

Here is Day 2 of the 30 Day Blog Challenge: 20 Facts About Me! Instead of listing the facts in a blog post I thought it would be more fun and interactive if I did it as a vlog instead! Enjoy!

Thanks for watching and until next time!
