My Happenings

So, it's been a while... oops! Even though I have internet at home I don't feel like I have a lot of time to blog or to do YouTube videos. Actually it's probably more so that I don't have ambition for it because if you want to do something you'll make time. My apologies. But I don't run on a schedule here, maybe if I had a bigger following I would be more regular but for now random posts will just have to do! I want to get back into doing regular YouTube videos again but I've just been feeling kind of down about it. Like I'm no where near as good as a lot of other beauty guru's out there. But then I need to remind myself that I started it so that I could GET better and push myself to go outside the box with my makeup style/techniques. So I wont quit making videos there just might be some time in between postings like this blog too. I just need to figure out my time/schedule and see what works best for me.

I thought it might be fun to just write about recent things that have been going on in my life. Nothing too special but I was thinking about how some of my friends and I just can't get together a lot because of conflicting schedules so if they wanted to see what I was up to they could just read my blog lol!

1. Last week I got contacts and its been awesome! When I was at the optometrist the receptionist had to show me how to put them in and out. First my eye doc. had put them in so I had to show her I could take them out. It was taking so long and my makeup was running everywhere that she almost gave up on me and sent me on my way lol. She was just asking me if I lived with my mom (she thought I was still in highschool!) and if she could take them out for me if I needed. Pretty much right after that I got it out. Then I had to put it back in which took literally a second. The next day however when I was on my own it took me 20 mins. to put in ONE contact!!! And then 2 seconds for the other one. I'm a little faster with my right eye now, probably down to about 5 mins. which isn't too bad I don't think ;)
            (oh, putting glasses on over your contacts will make you see better, however it will make you dizzy)

2. Don't flush grapes that are still on the vine down your toilet. And especially don't do this if you don't have a plunger. Maybe if they aren't on the vine it will work but I wouldn't really recommend that either. Your parents will have to bring over their plunger and your niece will tell everyone you have something weird in your toilet.

3.I went to an Arbonne party and discovered they have some great new stuff that I'm dying to try out! I found out they now have hair products and I purchased their mousse so I'm waiting for that to arrive in the mail. They also have shampoo, conditioner, smoothing serum and hairspray. I think they have more but those are the items I'm interested in. Also this melatonin spray that you spray in your mouth before you want to fall asleep. It speeds up the sleeping process and you are supposed to have a very restful sleep too. It's also not addictive which is awesome. They also have some protein shakes (and a shaker mug!!!) that I'd like to try out. Also they have this Gelee stuff that does multiple things but it also works as a wrap- the kind you put on your skin then wrap yourself in saran wrap and keep it on for a while and you lose inches. Kind of like the 'ItWorks' wraps but for a better price. There was lots of awesome stuff but those were my favorites.



4. I started working out again. Well I started 2 weeks ago and went good for a week (even ate good too), then I didn't work out for the next week (I suck I know) but I still went for walks so that's good I guess. Then Sunday went for a run and yesterday I did yoga (and I'm feeling it today!) so I intend to stick with this this time. I do want this to be my lifestyle, not just a weight loss thing (although that is what I'm wanting right now). Next week I think I'm going to start a class at the gym too, it's a mix between turbo jam and kick boxing they said- high calorie burner so I can't wait!



5. A little while ago I had posted something about living out my dream. It's at a bit of a stand still right now and that's because what I had planned to do was sell name brand makeup and clothing at discounted prices. I was under the impression that the product was slightly defective and thats why they couldn't sell it in stores. I ordered a few items to test out for myself to see if it was something I'd want to sell to others and I was slightly disappointed. The makeup packaging is exactly the same as the makeup brand but I don't know for certain if the product itself is legit. I was expected the packaging to be damaged or something but the product itself in tact. I ordered a palette that I already have myself so I could compare and the colours were slightly off. So I'm not totally sure if I want to sell this to other people. I could however buy makeup that doesn't have a brand to it and resell that for a great price but I'm not totally sure. I also bought a pair of Lululemon yoga pants and I received them and they have the logo and they are super comfy and I LOVE them but because of the makeup I'm not sure how authentic the pants are. But then I thought to myself- well I bought a knock off Louis Vitton purse so people might buy knock off clothing and makeup... I don't know. For now I posted a few items on VarageSale (an app) to see how they sell and I have a few more things coming that I will post and see how things go. I just don't want people getting mad at me if they don't like the product. Any input on this topic would be greatly appreciated! Also I plan on selling phone cases and flower crowns/ head jewelry. I think these will go over very well on the VarageSale app just because you can't get stuff like that locally around where I live. OH I also want to get makeup brushes from my supplier and sell those because even if they aren't a top brand but still super good quality I think people will buy them. There is practically NO WHERE to buy makeup brushes where I live and it is beyond annoying!

         I think that's pretty much it for whats been going on with me lately :) I have another post idea ready so that will be coming either tomorrow or sometime this week! I hope you all are having a fantastic start to your summers and any feedback on all of this would be great!
