Finally... My Beauty Blog!

Hi lovelies!

After much hesitation, I finally caved and decided to start this beauty blog.  It almost didn’t happen, but I’m sure glad it did.  This is something I’ve been passionate about for a long time.  I’m no professional, just simply love playing and experimenting with makeup.  

Thank you to those who have supported me on this new endeavor from the very beginning, and thank you to all my new followers!  I’m ecstatic to be able to share my thoughts and ideas on anything beauty through this blog!  I sincerely appreciate you all… hug hugs xo!
