Today is a great day.

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't blogged for a little while. Do you know that today is a great day? Do you know why? Because I say it is. :) I'll be uploading a video a little later today and blogging more after that. It's a Buffalo Exchange/Almay haul. Talk to you then!

FOR SALE: Flip Mino HD (8GB - 2 hours of video)

Hi guys. Just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be selling my Flip Mino HD (8GB - 2 hours of video) camcorder. It has a design on it called "To The Moon". The retail price of it is $229.99. I'm not exactly sure what I'm selling it for yet, so you can DM me offers or just tell me you're interested on Twitter (@sparklesbyhanah), yes, only 1 "N", sparklesbyhannah was too long. Or you can email offers or tell me you're interested at sparklesbyhannah@gmail.com. It has been used quite a lot for many YouTube videos, but it is in basically perfect condition. I'm also going to be including an adapter that you can plug into the wall, then plug the Flip into, so it's basically a wall charger if you don't want to charge it on your computer or you travel a lot. In addition, the Flip will come with an almost-velvety suede, soft drawstring pouch to carry it in. Below I have provided pictures of both what the camcorder and adapter look like:

Merry Christmas!

Hi guys. First of all, sorry about my Outfit Of The Day video I uploaded today. I have NO idea what happened with the audio. On the bright side, I just uploaded a really exciting video! In this video, I tell you about a giveaway I will be holding from December 30th - January 2nd. I'm not going to tell you what I'm giving away yet - I'll make a video about it on the 30th. You'll just have to wait till then! Sorry! ;)

Second of all, check out my sweet new banner! It was made by a fabulous designer for FREE at Within50. I love it so so so much! You should definitely check them out! They'll make you an icon, banner, background, or whatever exactly how you want it, for free! They're super nice, and if you don't like something on the finished graphic, they'll fix it un till you do! They'll even suggest things to improve the graphic. And NO, they are not paying me in any way to recommend them - I just like my viewers and subscribers to know about things that I like, because they may like them too! :)

I hope you had an amazing Christmas, if you celebrate it, and if not, I hope you had an amazing Saturday! I'll talk to you tomorrow, most likely. Tomorrow I'll be filming and uploading my Christmas haul. I want you to know this, even though I'll say it again in tomorrow's video, but by filming/uploading hauls, I am NOT trying to brag in ANY way. I know that many many many people like watching hauls, including myself, so that's why I make them. I thought it'd be a nice way to spread holiday cheer by uploading a Christmas Haul - I'm NOT in ANY way trying to brag about how much money my family or friends have.

Sleep well! If you haven't seen my video about the giveaway in the very near future, it can be found below!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Hi guys. I know I blogged earlier, but I just thought I'd take a few minutes to sort of reminisce about the holiday season and Christmas. Tonight, December 24th, is a Friday. This might not really matter to you, but it has a certain meaning to me. My Dad's scheduled work days are Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Which means that he is indeed working right now, on Christmas Eve. I was well aware of this many weeks in advance, but just now is when is sort of hit me that I wouldn't get to spend any time with him today. When I was a little kid, I remember Christmas Eve being just a total family-night, filled with Christmas movies, cookies, hot chocolate, and smiles. Although my Dad can't be with me tonight, I can't wait for tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see his face when he goes through his stocking that I stuffed for him. I can't wait to see his face when he opens his gifts from me. And I cannot wait to wake up to the smell of him cooking Christmas breakfast. :)

I'm about to take my makeup off, and take a relaxing bubble bath with my new chunk of Lush's Honey I Washed The Kids soap, and my Aveeno Calming Foaming Bath, so I can calm down from being so excited about tomorrow, and get some sleep! I hope you have an amazing evening, and amazing day tomorrow, whether you celebrate Christmas or not. And to those who celebrate Christmas, may you and your families be blessed with holiday cheer, good health, good food, and happiness tomorrow. 

Sleep well!

Merry Christmas Eve (or Christmas, depending on where you are, or if you celebrate it)! I hope you and your families are doing well this holiday season. Today was a beautiful day! The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and now, as the day comes to a close, the lights of the Christmas tree light up the house. :)  I hope you get everything you asked for tomorrow morning, and even if you don't, I hope you get to spend some really nice, quality time with your family, and eat really yummy food!

The best way to spread holiday cheer..

"is singing loud for all to hear!" Oh, how I love Elf. I watched that today with one of my best friends, Laura. Anyway, on to my opening blog post!

So, as you can very easily notice, this is my first blog post! I'm going to post on this blog probably after every video I upload, and randomly other times just when I feel like it. :) If you didn't know, I'm a Beauty Guru on YouTube. My channel is SparklesByHannah. (That's a link!) Tomorrows video will be a haul, because my friend Laura and I went shopping in Santa Barbara today! Well, I can't really think about anything else to put in this post, as it is 11:29pm, hahah. I'll most likely blog tomorrow, after I upload my haul video. Talk to you then! Happy Holidays :)
