Waiting!

ugh! My order is taking forever! that's the bad thing about living in Kansas, I can't just go to my local Ulta or Sephora and pick up a few things because the closest one is two hours away. Sad Face. So in turn I have to order most everything online and if I choose the free shipping option, which I always do, it takes entirely too long to get to me! Ok, rant over but I really want my new stuff!

A Proper Introduction

Hi guys, I'm not sure if anybody even knows about this blog but I thought I would just let everyone know why I am doing this and all those good things.

About Me

First off, my name is Hilary and I am an Army wife and mom to a beautiful one year old baby girl. My husband is currently stationed in Kansas, I live her too, and is getting ready for his first deployment. I work at a salon as a receptionist and do makeup there.

How I Got Started

I got started really getting interested in makeup in high school and once I graduated I started a job at Ulta. When I started working there my passion just blossomed. Now I'm an aspiring makeup artist trying to go to school and get my certification to truly become a professional.

I know I have said this before but this is what I am the most passionate about and I'm really hoping that everything eventually works out. I have high hopes for myself and my blog so heres to the future! Can't wait to share my progress with all of you guys.

Oh Man...

I have decided on my next purchase, just need to save a little more because it is quite a large chunk of change. Stay tuned for more...

Beauty Blogging

Obviously this is something I really want to be doing, but holy jeeze is it expensive. and I'm trying to figure out vlogging. I would really like to star making videos once I start building my makeup collection but I honestly have no idea how to edit videos. I'm definitely not the most tech savvy person, but I have seen worse. I will do this, I'm going to figure everything out and be fabulous like I know I am. I just have all of this knowledge and passion that I want to share with everyone who is willing to listen. Well there is my little spiel for the day. I did order some new products to try out for myself and when they come in I will definitely share, I'm pretty excited!!!

What A Day

Today my mind has been racing in fifty million different directions. My husband is so close to being gone from months on end and my job is starting to take its toll. I absolutely love working at the salon but jeeze child care is almost my whole check. Then I feel like my daughter is getting cheated because she is already going to miss out on seeing her dad for a year and I barely ever see her as it is. Here I am just trying to make everything balance. should I quit my job and try to finally go to makeup school locally? Or stick with my job take a vacation to go to CMC in Dallas? This road might be a little more bumpy than I thought.

IPSY!

I signed up for Ipsy, I figured it would be a nice way to add products to my kit (which I'm trying to build) and keep a few things for myself. I'm just bummed that I was wait listed. Can't wait to get my first bag!

UPDATE!
I'm finally off the waiting list and will start receiving my first bag in July! I'm super excited!

And We're Off...

Well... Here goes nothing. I have finally decided to follow my heart and set out to become a professional makeup artist. How exactly am I going to do this? I have no idea! This should be interesting. I'm currently in the process of trying to find a class that fits my needs, and let me just say that being an Army wife, mom and working full time is not making this easy by any means, but I am determined to work it out and get it done. Stay tuned for this journey, no road map included.
