The Obligatory New Years Post




Greetings Earthlings!!

So I know I'm a week late on this subject, I wasn't going to write about it at all, but I decided it would be a good idea, since I am having a little bit of a hard time coming up with topics right now.

New Years Resolutions are beaten to death on the blogging-/vlogging-sphere. #NewYearNewMe amiright? Kudos to you if you set resolutions and stick to them, because I never seem to be able to. That's why, this year, I'm not making any resolutions. I do have personal goals and a vision of where I'd like to be at the end of the year, though.
Goal #1; I'd like to be more healthy. There is no set number of pounds or inches I want to lose, because I never meet the goal and end up getting depressed and causing myself to gain more weight... So, instead of resolving to diet and lose weight, I'm setting a goal that I'll make smarter choices (no more pop, less sugar, less alcohol, etc) but instead of depriving myself and setting myself up for failure, I'm cutting each vice out, one at a time. First to go is pop. Then when I feel like I'm not missing it anymore, I'll cut something else. I'm also going to find a physician to make sure my hormones are in check.
Goal #2 is to start blogging more regularly. I'd really love to set a regular schedule for blogging, I just have a hard time writing when I'm not inspired to... Inspiration comes in bursts for me, and if I force something it doesn't feel genuine or honest.
And goal #3 is to learn everything I can learn about my career. I am a Licensed Esthetician, but I feel like I'm really lacking the knowledge I should have by now. I'd also like to be able to put myself out there and land my dream job, grow my client base and not let my insecurities hold me back..

I know the're not much difference between yearly goals and resolutions, but I feel like saying "goals" alleviates much of the pressure and stress, especially when it comes to my personality and tendencies,

Did you set resolutions or are you more goal-oriented? What are some topics you'd like to know my thoughts on?

If someone hasn't told you already, you are gorgeous!

Hey! I hope you like this tutorial for New Years makeup! I decided to go in a "wearable" direction, because I know there are already going to be a lot of colorful looks out there. I don't own any glitter, (I know, what is WRONG with me!?!?!?) but if you have some feel free to go ham with it!!! Also, please ignore my eyebrows... They have been needing attention for a while now... I actually got them waxed the day after I filmed this... Womp womp...

4 Looks, 1 Palette Using Lorac MegaPro 2



Heeeeeeyyyy!!

So today I'm sharing this video with you. I was brainstorming ideas of looks with the Lorac MegaPro 2 and I was having a hard time. I just wanted to stick in a little corner of the palette.. I needed to break out of the rut I was in with this palette. So I sat down and had a good long look at her. 



After about 5 minutes, I turned on my camera and let the creative juices flow, 4 times.... It's a little odd, looking at yourself in the mirror with 2 different eye looks on at the same time. It's also really cool to see exactly how each style makes your eyes look differently! 






I'm planning on doing more videos like this, are there any palettes you'd like to see something like this with?? If I own it, I'll definitely try this out!!

I hope you guys enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed filming it!!

Have a WONDERFUL day, and if someone hasn't already told you today, You are Beautiful!!\

Orange Blowout Eyeshadow Tutorial



Hello!! I was inspired to create this look because fall is almost over (or is over, depending on who you're talking to....) and I'm not ready to say goodbye.... I wanted to get one last fall inspired look up before I dive into Holiday Makeup!! 


I am so in love with the way this look turned out!! I think this it, though bright and bold, is still rather wearable! Especially if you have BLUE eyes!! What do you think?


Hope you enjoy!! Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to write or film about!!!

Have a great day, and if someone hasn't already told you today, You are BEAUTIFUL!!!
