The Highlights #7

Aloha! I'm feeling super chipper today and I'm very grateful for that! I've had quite a wonderful week and I hope you have as well! <3 The absolute highlight of the week had to be getting my driver's license finally!!! This is a huge deal for me because I'm about seven years late on getting my license, so to finally have it after all of the procrastination and fear is amazing. My family and friends, I'm sure, are super stoked because they won't have to drive me around anymore. LOL But in all seriousness, they are all very proud of me. :)

I have a bit of an announcement about my little blog here. This will be the last post for a little while (I know, shock horror, I'm taking another blog break, who would've guessed? LOL). I started blogging again wanting to be consistent and organized about it and I've somewhat achieved that, but I'm not feeling very passionate about what I write about. I want to continue blogging, but I want to be proud of what I write and put out into the world. I'll be taking a little break just to regroup and figure out what I really want to do with my little corner of the internet.  While I'm away, check out my very good and talented friend, Nala's blog! I took some photos for her most recent post and it was such a pleasure to photograph such beautiful work! Check it out!

I'll see you all very soon and if you still want to keep up with me, I will still be very active on my Youtube channel, so go ahead and subscribe if you fancy! All the love! xx

Hello! I haven't posted on here in absolute ages other than a few Polyvore sets here and there! I have no excuses, I just failed to write anything. LOL I've taken a few pictures that I intended to put up but never did, so those will be in this post below. I want to start writing on here again, I just don't know what I'll be writing about yet. Stay tuned. xx

My attempt at a Pixiwoo tutorial LOL

I tried to get my makeup as close to Hannah Snowdon's as possible hahahaha

I'm going to do my best to get on here more often because I genuinely do want to start writing again and this seems like a good place to start. If you'd like to find out about what I get up to on a more accurate posting schedule, subscribe to my YouTube channel! LOL Be well, all! xx

I'm back!

Hello blog! It's been quite a long while since I last wrote a blog post or wrote anything not related to school, to be honest. :P Let's do a quick little catch up, shall we? Things have been moderately the same these past few months and that has included me struggling with my addiction on and off. I would be fine for a month and a half and then I'd relapse for a day or two and this most recent time, I nearly got kicked out of my house and my world basically came crashing down around me.

By the graciousness and love of my parents, they are giving me one more chance. ONE MORE. I have to do things right this time. I'm back in outpatient treatment and seeing a new therapist. This semester ends on Wednesday for me and I will be taking the next semester off to focus on working and just taking care of myself, mentally and physically. Some days are a lot harder than others, but I'm hopeful that things will get better as long as I work hard and stay focused. A quote that I have as my phone wallpaper has been a daily reminder; "May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears." - Nelson Mandela. I choose what my day is going to look like, where my life is going to go, if I will get out of bed today or waste away until I'm nothing.

Anyway! LOL I hope you are all wonderful and you're having a happy holiday season! As some of you may know, I was an avid participator in the 2014 Blogger Challenge and have fallen quite behind. I could just pick up with the newest topic, but I'm the type of person that absolutely has to finish everything, no skipping. With this in mind, I am going to pick up where I left off and start with the "Autumn Edit" post which will go up tomorrow. Of course, it is now Winter, but I think I can make it work. :) Below are pictures I've taken over the past few months (mainly selfies from when I've done my make up all nice LOL), I hope you enjoy!

Glad to be back! xx
