*blushes*
I've never been called STYLISH before!
But Jen over at Life, Crafts, and Whatever awarded me this Stylish Blogger Award! Thank you so much, Jen. I'm so happy to have found your blog (or did you find mine? either way!)
Okay, maybe she wasn't calling ME stylist, but my blog instead. I'll take it either way!
So... there are a few rules that come along with receiving the Stylish Blogger Award.
1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers.
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award!
So, you want to know 7 things about me, eh? Hmmmm, okay!
1. I make people beautiful for a living. If you haven't read already on my Our Family page, I'm a makeup artist. I worked for one of the world's most prestige makeup companies in the world for almost 4 years and am now enjoying being a Work At Home Mama owning my own business doing makeup. My income comes mainly from bridal work (which I LOVE) but I also do a lot of creative work too!
2. I'm a little obsessed with blogging but I wasn't always. I mean, my blog is going to be a year old in May (whoa!) and I took a pretty big hiatus during the early stages of my pregnancy because (1)I couldn't figure out my niche, per say, (2) I was oh-so-tired and could care less, and (3) I wasn't inspired by anything because of said pregnancy. However, now I'm really trying to get "out there" and find my way. I think I've developed a bit of a personality on the blog, here. Sometimes I'm funny, sometimes I'm mushy... and most times that personality is pretty inconsistent - but if you know anything about me... that's ME!
3. I secretly want to learn photography but for so long I have brushed it off because I don't have a good camera. The photographer that took the second photo up there told me, "So what, pick up a camera and shoot. The only way to learn is to DO. Don't be scared." So, I am. In comes the Joy of Love project and the 365 Love Letters project I'm trying to do (and hopefully stay consistent on). One day I will have a DSLR that is "nice" so by then maybe I'll know a little something about photography? Maybe?
4. I met my husband when I was 16 years old working at an Arby's down the street. The name on his name tag said, "Chocolate Chip Cookie". I thought he was a tool. Turns out, he was the exact opposite. More on this soon, I plan to get all sorts of mushy on you and tell you our love story.
5. I am a messy person. THERE I SAID IT. I always have been. I'm trying very hard to get in to the habit of cleaning up after myself. I thought it would be easier after the baby got here - umb. No. It's not.
6. We have unfinished projects EVERYWHERE in our house. Seriously.... I guess this relates to #5, right? Mess. We still don't have the edging done on our DIY countertops or all the brackets installed in the cabinets (you know, to keep them closed) and we "finished' our kitchen re-do months ago... yeah not finished afterall. whoops!
7. I used to be obsessed with green plants everywhere. I mean everywhere. In all the window sills, on every flat surface in my house there was a green plant. Then they all died because after my miscarriage I just didn't care about much. I tried to revive them, but then I got pregnant again and well... didn't care. The only ones I have left are two in my kitchen and a bamboo in my dining room.
Okay, I'm passing it on...

Just thought I'd say you don't need a DSLR to become a photographer. Sure, it helps because it forces you to learn more if you're only shooting in manual, but just practice with what you have for now in various forms of light and composition! Viola!
ReplyDeleteRule breaker! LOL....we have unfinished projects all over the place, too!
ReplyDeleteSo, I nominated you for the blog award, also. Cuz I think you're awesome!!!!
