Life Update: Moving, Self- Discovery, & Freelancing

During the month of September a lot has been going on for me. I haven't really blogged, expect for helping promote giveaways. In August I wrote a post about change and I talked about a huge change I was facing in my life. With that being said, I've moved. I still live in the same city, but it's farther away from my old home. I felt a lot of emotions; I was sad, happy, and when moving day finally happened, reality set in for me. I cried. I've live in that house since I was seven years old, so many memories I have. Sixteen years worth of memories and it hit me all at once. Don't get me wrong I'm excited that I am starting fresh, but it takes time. I've only been here for about two weeks, but I'm fine now. While packing and moving I decided to re-evaluate my life. I am on a journey of self- discovery, which is normal. This move has motivated me to have a positive outlook on life and I'm so grateful.

Over the past couple of months, while packing up and moving I decided what I wanted to be. If you know me from my blog or twitter, you would realize that I'm a dreamer. I have so many dreams that I want to accomplish. So I decided to get out of my comfort zone and I am now a freelancer. This isn't a random thing that I decided overnight, I've been thinking about this for a while. I love blogging, writing posts made me realize that I want to add freelancing to my list of things I want to do. I didn't think I would ever go this direction in my life, but life is all about experiencing new things. I also want to create my own nail polish line and eventually write a book. There are so many things that I've learned about myself during this move. I know I'm probably all over the place, but this year has taught me a lot.

As far as my blog goes, in October I will start posting regularly again. I have so many blog post ideas and I can't wait to start working on them. I want my blog to be a serious hobby for me and maybe even a part time job later on. If you stopped by my blog before, you will have noticed that during this year I have changed my blog design about five times. I am an indecisive person, so it was frustrating to me when I didn't like my design after a few weeks. But I finally purchased this new design and I really love it! I have so many goals for my blog. I want my readers, which are you guys to feel comfortable reading my blog as if we're having a real conversation or just hanging out! I can't wait to start posting again.

Thanks for reading my blog and I hope you enjoyed this post!

Finding My Passion For Blogging Again

At some point in time, when your heart isn’t into something you should take a break. Blogging is great and I couldn’t see myself without it. However sometimes it can get overwhelming and that’s what happened to me this year. For about eight months I have not blogged and I thought I was a bad person for that. I have realized that it was best to take the long break. In doing so, I have found so many things I love to talk about. I was holding myself back because I put a label on myself, wanting to be known as a beauty blogger. Sure I attached the lifestyle part, but honestly I don’t really know what that means. During this year I had time to reflect on where I wanted my blog to go and whether I even wanted to write anymore. Honestly the motivation to blog was not there at all and at that time, I really didn’t care if I continued. I did not want to look at my blog or deal with it. For me I was tired of putting in the work and not getting anything in return. Meaning no ...

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...
