01 March 2021:
]I've been blogging for a while and I really enjoy it, however the ideas and everything in between have stopped flowing and other than than forcing things for another post and like, I've decided to take a break and will let you know in time when I decide to come back,... burnt out... probably.
Update:
01 November 2021
Well I didn't think the break will be this long, but growing up comes with growing pains and this year I've been going through them, there is just a major need to sort out my life and deal with things that need me to put on my adulting coat and cap.
All is well just finessing a few things... In a voice of the terminator (I WILL BE BACK)

CURRENT MAKE-UP PRODUCTS | DRUGSTORE AS USUAL

| CURRENT MAKE-UP PRODUCTS | DRUGSTORE AS USUAL |
I've been slacking when it comes to my make-up game because really I have
nowhere to go however this is a habit that I want to put to rest because
one gets used to not applying anything and just wearing a mask and girls this virus
will be over soon and will leave us with habits that we will
not be able to erase because we just gotten used to being on a default set-up.
(default meaning that there is no game in our game hope that make sense)
My everyday set up is not a lot, and hopefully it also inspires you
to get moving and starting upping your make-up game again.
See you soon

I should do a quick refresher, because I did enjoy using them.

January for me was a month where I just needed to reflect (like the
last 10 months weren't enough for reflecting), but with the high number
of Covid cases rising and death on death on death it has been a horrible month.
January is also my birthday month soo hello panic attack again of
being triggered by everything I haven't achieved in the past year.
Which is a horrible thing but I can't help with whats happening in my head most of our times
and most people count failures than victories and I'm one of those.
January was spent with consuming content other than creating and most
of the days I felt horrible because I wasn't working on creating content
and others I was okay because I had a horrible burn-out and thinking about make-up was just not it.
Thank you January for allowing me to have a time to myself.
Now Back To Business

since people's attention span has gone down to 30 secs
thanks to Tik Tok AND Instagram's Reels but I believe that we are still a reading world and
Google wouldn't still be giving word search to direct website and blogs
if indeed people's attention span was down to 15secs.
It's 2021 I still love blogging and wouldn't give it up hey, it's just one of those things
that I do and are fulfilling to my soul.
Here is the plan for 2021 LOL (I'm laughing because this post is going up on the 30th of January)
but what the world has has taught me over the past 10 months is do what
you love because each day is a gift, and my gift to the world
is this blog and the words/motivation/reviews/and what ever thing that would
motivate me to write more.
MY BLOGGING GOALS FOR 2021
1. Start sharing my truth (I'm tired of being the bigger person especially when it comes to
working with brands).
2. Be consistent (I love it when there is a new post daily up in here).
3. Grow My Readership List
5. DO More Beauty reviews and share my thoughts regarding the beauty realm
because I believe has grown so brands need more views about them
right?!
&
5. And Just Have Fun
Wish Me Luck
See You Soon
