Hectic Life-Following Your Dreams

I know when I started this blog that I said I was going to try and post at least once a week, and that clearly didn't happen and for that I am so sorry! Since I started my blog, life got in the way. I decided that I was going to go back to school to get my B.A. and decided to go to Colorado State University doing their online program with their global campus. I am so glad that I made that choice to go back to school but I had no idea what I was in for when it came to the amount of work that would have to go into each class. Did I mention that it's also an accelerated program? A typical semester is 16 weeks, but my "semesters" are 8 weeks each. So I end up taking more classes than I would going full time at a regular school. Pairing that with working full-time and trying to find time to spend time with my husband and family has put my YouTube channel and blog on hold for a while. 

I have found plenty of time to sit down and film videos, and in the last 3 or 4 months I have probably filmed at least 6-8 videos, but then I just never find the time to edit them. I have realized that I have felt very overwhelmed with what has been going on with my life with school and work that I need to take time out for myself to do something I love to do, and that is YouTube. Now that I have a 2 week before before my next term starts I am going to try and film and edit as much as I can that way I have videos to upload and then I am going to try to figure out a schedule of days to work on homework and days to film and edit videos that way I am still doing something I love to do. 

I also realized how important it is to follow your dreams and passions and not giving up on your dreams. I don't want to live with the "what ifs" and regrets for not following my dreams. I would rather try and fail than to not try at all. I have realized that I would love to work in the beauty industry or the entertainment industry behind the scenes, so I am doing research to try and figure out a way to do that. I am not sure where it will take us, but I am willing to take the ride to follow my dreams. Hopefully I will find out soon where I will end up. 

Always remember to follow your dreams! :)

It's Been a While

Hey everyone! I know it has been quite some time since the last time I posted on here and I am sorry for those of you that do read this. I am trying to get my priorities in order so that I can try and start writing on here more. I am also trying to be better about uploading on my channel more frequently as well. This post is going to end up being really random so sorry in advance!

I have realized that I am so dang lazy! I am the first to admit it. I work full-time so when I get home from work all I really want to do is just lay on the couch and do nothing, but I realized that is not healthy or productive. I am all for relaxing and doing things for yourself, but I need to be going to the gym and filming and editing more and being lazy way less!

One thing that I have realized and my husband has pointed out many times is that I am addicted to my phone... which sounds horrible, but I am ALWAYS on my phone, checking Instagram, playing games or watching Youtube and I am realizing that I am so disconnected from my life that I need to put my phone down and enjoy life. Obviously I am not going to stop using my phone all together, but I think what i am going to try and do is only be on my phone for the small amount of time in-between when I get home from work and when my husband gets home from work. We will see how this goes but I want to spend more time with my husband and less time just sitting on the couch together while I am on my phone constantly. I am sure he will be pleased! :)  

I am also hoping that by me being on my phone less will give me more motivation to go to the gym and work out. I have definitely changed my eating habits (no soda and not a bunch of junk food and candy) and going to the gym was making me feel so good and accomplished. I was actually seeing results and my clothes were feeling loose, but then I went camping and even though I still ate pretty well my routine of going to the gym was disrupted and I am having a hard time getting the motivation to start going back. Anyone have any suggestions for things they do to get motivated? I have tried downloading apps to my phone for at home workouts, I have gone on Pinterest and tried to find different, simple and quick workout and I will get all motivated while I am at work to work out at home or go to the gym, but by the time I get home from work I want nothing more than to just lay in bed and watch Youtube. 

Has anyone tried any diets that worked for them that does include programs with meals you have to purchase? I am wanting to try something different but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a meal plan or program. 

I think that is all for now!

Thanks for reading!

Sephora Color Anthology Tutorial

Hey everyone! I know it has been a while since the last time I posted and I am sorry about that! I am realizing that going to school, working full-time and doing Youtube is a lot harder than I thought it would be and I had to pick focusing on school over filming and editing, but I am back! School starts again for me tomorrow but I am determined to do better this year with regular uploads. Please let me know if there is something you would like a review on or a tutorial. Thanks so much for those supporting me. It means the world to me! I already have 2 videos filmed that just need to be edited so those will be up soon as well as a tutorial coming featuring the lovely NAKED 3 pallet. I am completely obsessed with it and I have been using it non-stop trying all kinds of different looks. 













On a different note starting the end of March-Beginning of April I am not sure how much I will be able to film and upload due to the fact that David and I will be moving to a different apartment complex so all of our filming stuff will be packed away but once we are in our new place there will be regular uploads. I might try and vlog while we move but we will see. If anyone is interested in a room tour or apartment tour once we move let me know. I could arrange for that to happen. Thanks again for everyone that has been watching my videos and subscribing. Until next week,... 



You you later! :)
