Hello everyone and
welcome to my blog! So today I just wanted to sit down and talk to you guys,
honestly, because sometimes I feel like being a beauty blogger is the only
thing I am thought of as. Truth is, I am just like anyone else in the world. I
have good days and I have bad days, I have pretty days and I have days that I
don’t care. Everyone does and I’m just here to let you know that it’s okay.
Where are you going with this? Well… as a beauty blogger I get recognized for
just that, a beauty blogger- But I am so much more than just that! I am your
friend. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I appreciate all of you- from
the emails, to the texts, even to the Facebook messages! That is ultimately
what I want to be thought of as. A friend.
Like any good friend,
I am here to give you advice and I am here to listen to you. If you ever feel
down- shoot me an email! I’ll reply!
Speaking of those
emails. I get a lot of questions in my emails and because most of them are
focused on advice or questions that I think other people may be interested in…
I thought I might answer them for you guys today!
Q: You are a beauty
blogger, one of the few that I read who are not sponsored. Why is that?
A: Actually, back in
March I was contacted by a company who wanted to sponsor me! And I really,
really, really wanted them to do so! But at the time, I was in school and I was
falling behind and it was a low point for me. So I kindly declined the offer
because I knew I wouldn’t be able to blog like I needed to and do my school
work. I was extremely sad that I did decline but at the time it was what was
best for me and I don’t regret that decision. I would love to be given the
opportunity to be sponsored again but at the same time, I blog because I love
it, it’s what I love to do and I don’t need to be sponsored to be happy.
However, being paid for what I love to do is a cherry on top!
Q: You are very
involved in church, so how do you have time for church, a blog, and home-life,
too?
A: I love church…
more than I love my blog! Honestly, I love doing church work too. But I am very
organized! I have a calendar sheet for every month that focuses on anything to
do with the church. That includes youth movie nights and youth events, as well
as church meetings and church fellowships. I also have a calendar for day’s
that I need to do stuff around the house, such as cleaning my room, my
bathroom, the kitchen and things like that. It really keeps me organized there,
so I am not losing track of responsibilities that need to be done at home. I
also have a calendar for days that I have something planned or that a family
member needs me to take them to, like lunch dates, dinner dates, doctors’
appointments, etc. As for my blog schedule… I know that I have a blog post
going up every Monday. Knowing that schedule makes a blog post easier to put up
and lets me plan for the next. I also like to have notebooks for church
meetings, youth stuff, and blog stuff. Just in case I get an idea. I like to
have a plastic envelope with dividers that I can tote anything church related
in whether it be clerk stuff or youth director stuff. Another thing that I do
is wait till everyone has gone to bed. This allows me to not have to worry if I
am offending anyone by staying in my room to get all of my stuff done and it
allows me to really think clearly. This means that I am dedicating about 5
hours to church and blog stuff, 12 hours to home-life (which will hopefully
soon be dedicated to work), and 7 hours to sleep.
Q: What is your real
world dream job?
A: To be honest, I
have no clue how to answer that. My ultimate goal is to work where my dad
works. He loves his job and I really think that it is a job I would love as
well- being as my dad is my role model and he and I are so much alike. With
that being said, while I work there I would like to have the money to put
myself through college- working on a business management degree and then work
on a phycology or counseling degree. Then when I’m much older and can retire
reasonably I would like to be a counselor. That is my dream. And if somehow I
couldn’t do that then I would settle for a job working in an office because
that is essentially what I do now. Or maybe working with children is my
ultimate goal… I think only one person knows me well enough to know what I am
eventually going to do.
Q: You haven’t dated
in a while, why is that?
A: Truthfully, I
think of myself as a pretty mature person. I know I need to get a job so that I
can support myself and not have to rely on a male, I am not one to play games
and most people my age are not serious and don’t plan on being serious, I don’t
settle for less than what I know I deserve, and my past relationships just
turned me off from the whole dating thing.
Q: But who is this
guy we all know you are with?
A: Okay so yes… I am
with someone. His name is Greg and he is my better half. We have been dating
for over a month and he is incredible! I have never met anyone quite like him,
he is such a gentleman and so kind hearted and just honestly everything I have
ever pictured in a relationship. He is so supportive of me and he encourages me
to do the better things in life.
Q: Have you two had
the talk?
A: Ummmm, it’s
crossed our minds a few times. He and I both want marriage and kids and all
that jazz but it’s just a bit too early to think too much on that. Would I marry
him? Yes, In a heartbeat. I say that because there are just some people you are
meant to be with and I know that my meant to be is him.
Q: Do you want
children?
A: I feel like I have
had this question before and I feel like I answered it but I will answer it
anyways. Yes, I do want kids. Two or Three would be ideal… now days I like the
idea of two.
Q: Names you are in
love with?
A: Crazy as it sounds…
I have put a lot of thought into this. My first choices would be Grayson Daniel
(boy) and Natalie Lauren (girl). My second choice would be Gregory Preston
(boy) and Madeline Grace (girl). Other names I have considered for girls are
Madelyn Noelle, Noelle Madeline, Madison Claire, Naomi Leora, Gracelyn Noelle.
Other names I have considered for boys are Preston Elliot, Nathan Elliot,
Garett Preston, and Gregory Elliot.
Q: We see your Pinterest all the time. We know
you’ve got your wedding planned out. And your home for that matter. Explain.
A: I am addicted to
Pinterest. I do have my wedding planned out and I do have my home planned out.
Little details mean the most to me. For example: My wedding will be my second
favorite color and his first favorite color… our bedroom will be the colors of
our wedding. Candles will be lit at our wedding for important people who have
passed in our life. Ultimately I use Pinterest because I like to figure out how
to make the little things count.
