Have You Visited...?

http://www.simplybellezza.com

Did you realize yet that BDV isn't my only blog? If not, I wanted to introduce you to my other blogs: Simply Bellezza and All Things Emmy. Why do I have them all separate you ask?

Simply Bellezza: Beauty, Makeup, and anything of that nature. I post a lot of makeup tutorials on YouTube, but my videos will always be added to my SB blog. My most popular blog post to date is about finding the perfect shades of purple eyeshadow for your eyes.

All Things Emmy: A cooking, DIY, and other hobbies-based blog. I've been somewhat neglectful of this baby; however, this is changing with planning and some amazing ideas! Find out what my favorite cookie is here and stay tuned for some Valentine-inspired things.

I think that it's easier to separate the content into categories so that you can follow only what you are interested in.

What kinds of things are you interested in? I'd love to know what you'd like to read about here - or even in my other blogs.

You should also follow me on my other social media profiles. I hear that my followers find me Pin-teresting, and that I tweet some fun things here and there. I'm also on Instagram, and my username on on three is Emalyce89. :-)

I hope you're having an excellent Monday!

I Didn't Know What to Say

This world is full of both wonderful and heartbreaking circumstances that wear us down daily. As a nation, we are mourning another tragedy where violence has torn apart communities and families - and for what purpose? We just don't know.
I didn't write on this yesterday because I didn't know what to say. I've read that it's the deadliest mass shooting in American history. I don't know what's more sad to me: that this deplorable act is something that I feel numb towards given the increasing numbers of shootings and tragedies we are seeing nationally, or the act itself: where some random person unbeknownst to even his own family made a decision that forever altered the lives of millions of people. 
The biggest encouragement and consolation I can try to provide is to continue to shine the light into the darkest corners of the world. Whether you emit joy and love, peace or kindness, these are a few ways to impact the world in a positive way that anybody can gi…

Compassion

Months ago, I filmed a video about compassion and empathy. When I downloaded it to my computer, I didn't have the time or the drive to edit and upload it... until today. I re-watched the full 11:37 video and realized that my message was very clear and that it applies just as much to today as it did when I originally filmed it in November. 
Compassion. It's something that many people lack - not on purpose, but out of convenience. Out of carelessness. Without a thought. People aren't bad because of it, rather unaware and lacking mindfulness of who is around them and how they may be feeling.
I wanted to share this video as a reminder for people to view other people as humans - as people just like themselves. To have empathy and compassion because you just do not know what another person is going through.


Lovingly yours,

A Spring in My Steps

For those of you who have followed me for some time, you must know by now that one of my favorite spots here in Seattle is Green Lake. There's something so serene in walking the almost-three mile path around the lake - all while never even leaving the city. It's a short drive away and I find myself longing for a visit when I think only of its lush natural scenery and everything you could want in a park.
I went to Green Lake earlier in the day than normal and spotted these lovely little crocuses, reaching their aubergine-veined petals through the soil. I see them every year scattered about the city, but something about how they always reach for the sky makes them so relatable. 
Starting my walk, I noticed the eerie sky and how white it was with overcast - there were crows cawing and screeching from all over, fields and branches full of birds. My assumption is that after all the earthworms were about and crows were swarming to get a shot at their evening meal. 
Concluding my wa…
