Two years ago I was unemployed, in a new city, and my computer decided to kick the bucket. I would spend all day on my teeny phone applying to jobs. As a reward, I would check out beauty/fashion/gossip blogs, and occasionally respond. One day I was glancing over a Spring Beauty post. I immediately sat up and started talking to the screen.
The products listed were outrageously priced. I knew one product didn't work, that there was a drugstore dupe for this other product, and that I already made my own version of another. I decided right then and there that I needed to start a blog to share what I knew.
And I've been smitten with blogging ever since.
This post is the beginning of a celebratory week wherein I thank YOU. Thank you for taking the 10 seconds of your day to read my blog. Thank you for leaving a comment, good or bad.
