Today was a great day because the gorgeous Becki from the super fun blog, The Struggles of a MUA nominated me for a Sunshine Award! Check out her award post HERE.
I've seen this award on other blogs and wondered if there'd ever be a day that I'd be recognized by anyone out there, so thanks Becki! :)

The Sunshine award is given to bloggers who are positive,
inspiring, creative or who’s blog you really enjoy reading. Since some
days my pageviews are embarassingly low, this feels incredible...like I'm not
just talking to myself out there in the blogosphere!
Here are 11 facts about me:
1. I have two younger sisters age 30, and 18.
2. So yes, that makes me in my thirties!
3. Being in my thirties makes me slightly self-conscious about being on the older side of beauty blogging.
4. I'm a scientist.
5. I live just outside of Boston.
6. I have an insane phobia of birds.
7. I may be the only person on earth that doesn't like fall. Sure it's pretty but it just means that winter is coming and I hate cold.
8. I was a gymnast from age 5-17. Sadly, I can barely do a cartwheel now.
9. I love shows like Walking Dead, but also The Bachelor.
10. I bought my condo 2 years ago and it was one of my proudest moments!
11. I'm shy in my blog. It's hard for me to post close up makeup pics and if you've noticed, my main pic isn't even close up.
Here are the questions that Becki asked me:
1. What inspired you to start blogging? My obsession with beauty products! I just love talking makeup and hair and skin
stuff. I’m always giving friends and
family tips on the best and newest products so I figured I’d write it all down
and share with whoever else stumbles upon my blog.
2. Who is your idol and why? Anyone who writes for a beauty magazine. That's my dream job.
3. At what age did you start loving make-up? Must have been 5th or 6th grade. I got obsessed with my friend’s makeup but I
wasn’t allowed to wear any yet.
4.
What is your favorite film? My Cousin Vinny.
5. What is your favorite brand of makeup? I’m not really attached to one brand. I usually do stick with Urban Decay for eyes
though.
6. If you could recommend me one concealer what
would it be and why? I really like wearing MAC
Prep + Prime as a concealer.
7. Who is your biggest crush? I’m guessing this means celebrity crush. Channing Tatum. Duh.
8. Where would you like to see yourself in 5
years time? I would love to be a well
known beauty blogger at that point.
9. Where to you find the best clothes? The clearance section of Banana Republic, J. Crew, and
Gap. Also Express for going out clothes
and Forever 21 for trendy pieces.
10. Who was your first celebrity crush growing
up? Zack Morris!

you been blogging?
3. At what point
did you know that your blog was “taking off” or if you are new like me, what would make you believe that you are "taking off"?

ReplyDeleteThanks so much! You are gorgeous! Can't wait to read your Sunshine award post so def. let me know when it's up!
DeleteYou are not over 30! That's just crazy talk! You know part of what makes us all so beautiful is the fact that we are different and everyone struggles with those differences. That's how and why we can relate to each other. Remember the only way we can truly and freely give love to others is to understand how to love our own self first. I loved getting to know you better. Obviously, I'm trolling your blog and enjoying it! (◕‿◕✿)
ReplyDeleteThose are some very kind and wise words. so glad we are becoming blogging buddies! I'm just starting out but communicating with like-minded ladies may be my favorite part of blogging!
