1 year ago today, I posted my first review! I'd actually attempted to do a beauty blog during the summer of 2011 but I had a really bad camera that produced really blurry photos. Unfortunately, very few of those early reviews are still up on this site due to a glitch in my photo storage software that caused most of the pictures to get deleted. That's okay though, because I dusted myself off after taking a break, and decided to get back on the blog train!
Over the course of the year, I have to say the best thing I've gained is the friendship of YOU GUYS!! You all mean so much to me! You guys aren't just like-minded beauty lovers, you're friends. Hearts!
Every person who's taken the time to interact with me here has participated in making me feel like this blog had a purpose and I genuinely thank you from the bottom of my heart! Your support and friendship continues to serve as a source of positivity and inspiration. Here's to a fantastic 2014!
❤ Thank you! I love you guys! ❤
