Blog is not going so well...3 days later and I feel like I've lost all that goodness that was in my mind. Ok, I'm trying to write again!
Ok, it's been a while since I have written. I feel like the past few posts I've written have had this as the intro. I apologize for having huge gaps in my posts and that has got to change! And change it will! I keep saying that too, but this time I'm serious!
So much has happened since I the last time i posted. So I will catch you up on some things. I have had so many realizations. I've been working on simplifying my life. I want a simple, good life. I want to look back and not base my self-worth on my career or material items. I want memories with family and friends not clothes and purses in my closet. I really started laying out exactly what was important to me and what I wanted. Once it was all laid out it was simple what I needed to do. (Simple, yet risky. But isn't it always that way?) I needed to follow what I really wanted. Take a risk and do it. With that, I had to let go of my little comfortable parachute job that was consistent money and go for what I really need to do. I was working way too much and wasn't enjoying any free time with my family, friends or for myself.
I did some traveling for my aesthetics job that i have and had a realization that I'm really darn good at that. I'm good at facials, educating people on their Skincare regimen, I love ingredients and helping people, meeting people, making them feel good. Doing that makes me happy and my love for it shines through when I'm talking to people. I realized that yes, I work in a world of materialistic things like high-end Skincare, makeup & beauty but it's not just that. This is what some people love, it's what Some people need to boost themselves up and it's what makes them feel beautiful. And if it makes you feel beautiful then I'm all for it. I just have to just embrace What i love and I can't force a life that is not mine and is not genuine to me. I'm a bad faker.
Now I don't believe that certain labels and products and brands make me beautiful. That's not me, but i do love certain products and I will still write about them and share them with you all. But, my goal on here isn't to just write about products. I want to write about things that make you feel beautiful, not just what you need to look beautiful. I've found different things that make me feel beautiful from a yoga workout to a lipstick to a walk in the park! So that's my new way of being a "beauty blogger."
This is a journey. Beauty is a journey and I'm your tour guide! Yes, your beauty tour guide! I say a journey because we will never reach the destination of completeness and perfection in beauty. That's the beauty of beauty & happiness! It's a continual growth and change! We are constantly growing and changing our paths and goals. A few years ago all I wanted was to be neck-deep in fashion and high-end beauty products, and I was! Then I realized I really don't care for all that. It doesn't define me. I didn't feel fulfilled. Some people do feel fulfilled in that type of lifestyle and that's great! If you have found what drives you and makes you happy, then go for it! But to me, I felt like I was playing a part. Then I go into a world of complete health and fitness and I love that too! But-I wanted to be so far into it that I feel like I let go of a lot of who I am. I was so caught up in it that I lost my excitement and passion for makeup and Skincare. It's not that I didn't care about Skincare and makeup, I didn't make enough time to spread the love around equally to fulfill all my loves. Now, here we are in present day and I feel pretty balanced. For now. Haha. I love working out and trying new things, working out makes me feel good and makes me feel beautiful but so does trying out a new lipstick or makeup look. So it's truly a balance and it's whatever really makes you happy.
You'll have to dig dip down and think about what you really love. What do you like to study up on and read about in your free time? What would you do if money wasn't a factor at all? Just think about your wildest dream and what you always wanted to do. If you had millions of dollars, what would you do? What do you do that makes you feel alive?
That's what I decided to do. I realized if I don't quit all this extra stuff that's safe and that takes up my free time and that gets in the way of what I really want to do, then I'm never going to do it. It's a risk but I'm willing to take it. Doing facials and helping people with their skin is what I love and it's what makes me happy. Helping people love themselves in their skin makes me feel alive and I'm ready to devote that time and energy to it! It's scary and I don't like posting about myself on my beauty page. I'm so much better at promoting others, but it's time to put that energy into my business. So, here I go!! Here's to you to dig down deep and do the same!
