The Blog is 3 Years Old!

Hey everone! Today I'm celebrating this blog's three year anniversary! I'm really excited! I never thought I would blog for three entire years, but here we are. It feels surreal, time goes by really quickly! I don't plan on slowing down my posting any time soon either. 2013 has been a really productive year for me in terms of blogging. I've posted more than ever before and I've grown and learned immensely in terms of makeup application, photo retouching, lighting, etc. I'm really pleased with what the blog looks like and has to offer now and I'm more motivated than ever to keep going! I really hope you all enjoy the blog as much as I enjoy writing it  :) Thanks to all my loyal followers, my friends and my family which have supported me a lot this year! It means a lot to me to see all your comments and likes on Facebook ♥

Also, I wanted to mention that I recently got to 100 000 pages views! It's a really big milestone for me. I'd been waiting to get there for a long time! I'm really proud of what I have achieved with this blog :D

In case you're curious what is coming up on the blog in the near future I thought I would share a sneak peek of what's in store for the near future!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Tonight, 2013 will be over and we will begin the new year! I cannot believe 2013 is already over, it seems like it went by in a flash! 2013 was a pretty good year for me, but I'm kind of glad to be going into 2014 now! 

It's been a year full of academic challenges, a new job and lots blogging for me. I had set myself the goal to surpass my first year of blogging in terms of blog post quantity (but also quality) and I believe I achieved that goal! I'm also very proud of the quality I have been able to achieve through practice and hard work in the last year, I hope you all have been enjoying the various series that I did and all of the beginner tutorials, hauls and favorites!

I also want to take this opportunity to thank all my followers who have been sweetly commenting on my blog for the past few years! This blog has been a journey of learning and self discovery and I want to thank all the readers who have been with me through it all!

I wish you all an amazing year of 2014 and hope that you all will have success and happiness :) See you all in 2014 ♥
