As some of you may have noticed, my blog has been kind of straying away from beauty & fashion a bit, and has turned into more of an inspiration or photography type of blog. I have to say, this is unintentional. I absolutely love makeup & fashion, but i feel like every 'fotd' i do is the same, my monthly favorites consist of the same few products, etc...and i find it hard to take decent photos of my outfits (which the outfits themselves can be quite similar).
I hate to blame the money factor, but it's so difficult to blog about new products or to show you girls what i've recently acquired when i don't have the money to actually go out & buy new clothes or new makeup. I'm currently saving up for driver's ed, my trip to England & France (which was a struggle to even convince my parents to let me go), and a new camera, and i don't even have a job, so money is soo tight for me right now - i find it hard to even scrape up a few dollars to go out to a movie or dinner with friends. Sure my mom will pay for a winter coat, or the occasional top, but with the economy the way it is and with money being tighter than usual, my family's priorities have been sorted out & the money spent on things that are considered more 'luxury' (ie. clothing, trips, makeup, etc.) has definitely decreased significantly.
Of course i'll try my hardest to continue blogging about makeup & fashion as per usual, but i just thought i'd let you all know what's going on and why my blog seems to be going off in a kind of different direction. This post is more personal compared to what i usually post, but i feel like it had to be said.
I hope you girls understand. You have all been SO supportive & lovely to me, and i'd like to thank you so much for everything ♥.
Since you're the ones who read my blog, what posts do you enjoy reading the most or what would you like to see more of on my blog? It would be extremely helpful to get some feedback from you all :)
I'm off to go start my English essay (the rough draft is due tomorrow -____-). Hope you are all having a relaxing Sunday!
xoxo,

ReplyDeleteI adore your blog the way it is. It is your blog and you should feel free to change it up a bit. You could always do reviews on products you already have and like, create some hair styles and demonstrate them or even do create some makeup looks to show off. You blog is fabulous and its yours. Fashion and makeup arent the only things in life.
