Product Reviews

I am thinking about starting another blog just for product reviews. I find I am looking for blog sites like that all the time. So if you have any ideas on beauty products or cosmetics you want to see a review on throw some stuff at me. Thanks so much

Update

On the makeup artist prospect, it is going great right now. I have a friend who is a freelance photographer. I have now became her on call makeup artist. She is even putting together a ladies event for us, introducing me as her makeup artist and getting me some portfolio pictures. It makes me a little nervous because print is tricky every line shows up. But my portfolio will be beautiful. I am excited about that. I am hoping to have a good range of things in it by the next month. The awesome makeup artist I want to apprentice with will be meeting with me then and I would really like to show her some awesome pictures.

I want to stop smoking

I have been smoking for 3 years now I picked the habit up right after my son, Logan, passed away and I really want to stop. The only thing really keeping me from stoping right now besides the obvious addiction is I am afraid I'll gain weight. I am a short girl only 5 foot even and I have always struggled with my weight. I had been doing good though by the end of last summer I weighted 118lbs which looked good on me but now I am back up at 135. I hate that. I guess mostly to blame was in my job change I went from working at a gas station where you are constantly moving and stocking all kinds of heavy items and standing all day to a desk job where I'm setting all day and eating. Even with my weight right now making me to say the least insecure something has to give. I get winded by walking up a flight of stairs, I am constantly tired, I cough all the time and sometimes even catch myself wheezing. I've got to stop but I am so afraid of gaining more weight.

If it wasn't for bad luck

You ever feel like if it wasn't for bad luck you'd have no luck at all. While I understand I am very blessed in life there's still those days, weeks, months, and I have even had years where it just seem like nothing goes right. It feels like my life is a living testament to " IF IT WASN'T FOR BAD LUCK, I'D HAVE NO LUCK AT ALL." Sometimes it feels like the universe is working against my happiness. I always try to stay positive though because I personally hate hanging around those people who are always griping and complaining "woe is me" type people. But sometimes it just helps to vent. Regardless of what else this day brings I am keeping my head up and looking to the future because the past is just that... THE PAST.

Dreams Can Come True

In my quest to become a makeup artist I got some good news last Friday. A well known and very talented mua where I am from has offered me a chance to apprentice with her. I haven't got the apprenticeship yet I still have to put together a portfolio and meet with her. I am hoping to get a few friends together over the weekend and put together the most professional looking portfolio I can produce at this time. Then I will hopefully get with her sometime next week. I am so super excited about this it's all I've been talking about the past few days. I hope and pray i get it.

I want to be a makeup artist

For as long as I can remember all Ive wanted to do is be a makeup artist and a nail tech. I've been doing a whole lot of thinking and soul searching this week. I am going to start putting together a portfolio for makeup. I wanted to do one for my nail art too but I'm not licensed yet so better safe then sorry. I love all artsy tip things, makeup, sketching, nail painting and photography. I have so many talents that I really don't have one that really sticks out. I always refer to myself as "Jack of all trades, Master of none." I'm really hoping this can change that. I want to do bridal makeup to start out and we shall see where it goes. Really hoping this works out.
