My Blog is turning 2!


Two years ago on October 19, when I started blogging I had no idea what I was doing. To be honest sometimes I still feel like I don't know. I have learned so much from this experience good and even bad. I've met so many wonderful bloggers and I've become friends with them too! I wanted to make YouTube videos, like any other girl. My first makeup inspiration was Dulce Candy from DulceCandy87, she taught me how to put on eye makeup for beginners! Her channel really made me feel confident! I had been watching videos for a couple of years, so I thought it would be a good idea. But it was more difficult then I thought it would be. In the end I realized making videos was apparently not for me. Even though I was inspired by these videos, creating one myself was not something I could do. I was nervous and scared. But in the process of my decision I ended up making good friends. Some I still talk to often and others I have unfortunately lost touch with. We were really good friends.

So since making videos was not my thing a few months later in June I decided to try out blogging. I didn't really know what blogging was. I wrote a couple of posts, but no one saw and I didn't know why so I deleted them. A few months after that, around September 7th, I was on Facebook and Laura Vitale from Laurainthekitchen made a post saying to come join her in a twitter chat. So I was like this is so awesome, I've been watching every since she started. But then reality set, when I realized I didn't have a twitter. The chat was almost over, I had ten minutes left to join the chat. So I took the risk and created a twitter. So now I'm down to five minutes left. So I signed up, but then I had to follow like five people in order to move on. In my mind I'm like are you serious. So I followed Laura Vitale, Tia Mowry, and Tamera Mowry, and two others. So now I'm down to a minute left and I can finally move on. So I had to think of something in 30 seconds to tweet. I tweet how I was so inspired by her. When I sent the tweet, there was no time left and I thought I missed out. So when she responded I almost fell out of my seat. I was really excited and it made my day! She has inspired me to enjoy cooking. She also helped me bring back memories of me as a child trying to help my mom cook, especially on the holidays. Now that I am older while me and my mom are in the kitchen cooking we share stories with my 15 year old sister (she likes to watch!)

From that day on, I had a twitter but didn't know what to do with it. I remember the day I started getting followers. One of the first followers were @TMariebeauty74, I was surprised but grateful. Although I could not understand how a Beauty guru on YouTube found me on twitter and decided to follow me. Like I said I am very grateful to her and I really appreciate it a lot. I felt like I was a nobody compared to all of these Beauty gurus and bloggers. Since I did not want to make videos because I felt uncomfortable, a month and 12 days, on October 19 I made the decision to start blogging since I had a twitter and I could share my posts there. I decided to start blogging to share my interests and write inspirational posts. I remember my first blog follower was another person on YouTube, her name on there was Ms.ScreamQueen. We talked to each other, but then I do not know where she went. I hope she's ok!

I did not want to be boring and continue with my story, but this is basically how I got my twitter and why I started blogging! I hope you all enjoyed really reading. Writing this post brings back so many memories for me. I am so grateful to everyone who gave my blog a chance. I am so glad I started blogging, because I learned a lot. So many people on YouTube have inspired and they continue to. I do not know where I will be in another year with blogging, but I am glad for these two years!

E.l.f. Eye Brushes

Although this haul is very small, I just wanted to share with you what I brought. I decided to buy brushes, because I needed them more! The first brushes I were eco-friendly and were really good, but their were more face brushes, then eye brushes. So that wasn't really helpful to me. It was only one eye shadow brush. I rarely shop online, I always go to the store. But I was bored one day and I guess this is what happened! I am really excited to try these brushes! I also brought some things from BH cosmetics, but that's for another post! Eye Shadow Brush The eye shadow brush is supposed to help apply the eye shadow evenly and make it easier. This sounds good, because the brushes I used in the past were tough and hard. It seemed like I had to put a lot of eye shadow on, before it actually showed up on my eyes. Blending Eye Brush This brush is supposed to blend the eye shadows, while softening dramatic edges and lines. This is really good, because before I h...

BH Cosmetics Eyebrow Tweezer

  Going to get your brows waxed costs money, so with that being said I rather do my own. Although I am not a professional I think I can manage. I do not wax my eyebrows. To be honest I have never waxed or tried to wax my brows. If you're like me in the department of not waxing, you find other ways to style (fix) your brows. For me I have only tried two products; one will be in this post and the other is linked here: Brow kit !     I have learned to love my brows just the way they are. But they do deserve to pampered at the same time. If I have a few eyebrow hairs that do not belong, I want something quick and easy to fix this. That is why I have my bh cosmetics eyebrow tweezer. I have written a few posts on bh cosmetics products, but I am not affiliated with them in any way. I just simply love their products because its still high quality products, but at a cheaper price. This is great because not everyone wants to spend a lot or are maybe on a bu...

Self Love Is So Important!

  Has there ever been a time where you felt unworthy? Unworthy of someone loving and caring for you. Have you ever disliked yourself so much, to the point where you would go into a dark place? I ask these questions not to necessarily get an answer back, but to let you know this happens to a lot of people. Self love is so important and everyone should feel good about themselves. Unfortunately in today's world that isn't the case at all. Society puts a label on what people should and should not look that. People judge one another 24 hours, 7 days a week and it's wrong. I've wanted to write this for a while now, but sometimes it's difficult. You don't want to offend anyone, but you also want to bring awareness to this topic. I'm not an expert on how to love yourself, but I do know what it's like to not have confidence. I know what it feels like to not think you're good enough, even when people tell you that you are.    I use to think I was I wa...
