Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow, can you believe how quickly Thanksgiving came this year? I blinked and it was here. It’s strange how life works sometimes, when I was a kid the Holidays seemed to take years and years to arrive but the older I get the quicker they come.

Turkey and all the fixings sure is nice but in my opinion we definitely don’t need a single day of the year to be thankful, we should always be thankful from the point we wake up in the morning to the point we get into bed at night. But Thanksgiving is a nice little reminder, just in case we’ve forgotten since the hustle and bustle of life sure does keep us crazy, to be thankful for all we have be it the big stuff like a roof over our heads, food in our stomachs, and people to love to the little things like having a good laugh or enjoying the comforts of watching a TV show under a warm blanket.

I have many, many, many things to be thankful but I wanted to take time out and remember how thankful I am for each of you. Thanks for visiting, thanks for keeping in touch with me via Twitter, E-mail, and Comments. Thanks for sharing the fun, sometimes weird and wacky, and always awesome road of makeup with me. You’re all like my extended family….I love chatting with you daily about beauty as well as random other bits and bobs! I’m so blessed to have each of you in my life even though most of us have never even had the opportunity to meet, share a cup of tea, or even hug.

I’m so blessed to have such amazing readers!

Remember to eat more than one dessert, be sure to get up early and steal all the great Black Friday makeup deals online in your pajamas, and most important I hope all of you have a blessed, happy, and safe Thanksgiving!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

  • Majick

    Happy Turkey Day! Thank you Muse for all you give.

    I just put on a pot of sauce for tomorrow – lasagna, the perfect after turkey day meal. LOL

    DH is cooking the turkey this year. Talk about time flying (wait… it just gets faster, take it from your older sistah). I really don’t know what happened to October and the end of November is here. Life has been spinning so fast that I’m taking this 4 day holiday to just chill out at home. I couldn’t bring myself to get in the car to go ANYWHERE.

    I hope everyone has a drama free holiday (unless of course drama is your thing LOL). ((((HUGS))))

  • kate

    muse, you are the kindest famous person I actually have had the honor of conversing with! I’m astounded by this message you sent to all of us as it is the most sincere thought I have ever read. Thank you friend for taking time to write this message for us, it means so much! A trillion more blessings for you this holiday season and for 2012. You simply are the best!

  • katrosado

    I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving sweetie! I so do enjoy reading your blog and even though I’m older and many of the items you share with us I can’t wear myself, I always make notes because (shimmer and sparkle aren’t my friends anymore :() I have 3 daughters ages 31, 16 and 15 and I purchase goodies for them based on your recommendations. I hope your holidays are as filled with joy and as wonderful as you are! Take care!

  • Ljana

    Aw, that’s such a touching, beautiful post. Sadly we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in this part of the world (obviously no pilgrims came to the Balkans and our ancient harvest festivals seem to have got lost somewhere along the way), but all the same it’s a great opportunity to take a moment and remember all the people and things one is thankful for. Like for example this lovely blog – I’ve lost count of the times your posts, that special unique combination of gamer-meets-beauty-lover humour has brightened my day. Thank you and happy Thanksgiving everyone!

  • Ruth

    I grateful for you too! I so enjoy your posts on items, whether the product is good or bad but i LOVE your silly, snarky references when you stray a bit from your topic. Everyone that visits and then comments your blog has been really sweet and kind, no dissent. I can’t wait to see what you hauled during the Black Friday shopping extravaganza!

  • sataa
