What Do I Do In My Spare Time?

Some of my followers have been asking for some non-beauty related posts, so who am I to say no?  I don't try to hide anything from you, mostly, what I do is out there for all of the world to see.  As an actor and a designer, my work is out there for people to see why shouldn't some parts of my life be too? Long way around saying that this post is all about what I do in the time that I'm not  working on something that is beauty or planner relate, although the planner related thing is fairly new as in under three months new. Anyway, I can really ramble on, can't I? Here are some pictures and explanations of what I enjoy doing in my free time!

Makeup MAYhem Day 21: Get To Know Me!

Hey Stars! I just wanted to give you a little peek as to what's going on with MAYhem over on my YouTube Channel.  This is my latest video, which is a bit rambly but you get to know me a little bit better! I talk about my depression, being bi-polar, and my anxiety- let me know if you can relate because it's always nice to have a buddy in this world going through what you're going through.   I hope you all are having an amazing day! XOXO

Be Bold, Be Beautiful, Be YOU!

Get to Know Me: The Beauty Blogger Tag

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight? My hair is naturally straight.

2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?  I go to a salon after the incident where my hair didn't saturate correctly and left big patches of blonde in my red hair

3. Do you wear the same style everyday, or do you change it? Hair wise, it's usually in a ponytail or down, nothing special. As for my style, I'm usually wearing whatever I am comfortable in. 

4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon? 9 times out of 10 I do my own mani/pedi but every once in a while I will treat myself to one at this salon I really really like called the Renaissance Nail and Spa.

5. How often do you change your nail polish? At least once a week, if not more.  If I get more than one new nail polish in a week, who knows how many times I'll change them :P

6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just the summer? Since I live in Southern California, there are times in winter where you can wear sandals so I keep my toes looking pretty all year round.

7. How long does it take for you to put on makeup? It depends, I have a five and ten minute routine down pat but if I have to impress someone or act like someone important then it can take me up to thirty to forty five minutes.

8. What do you do first? Face or eyes?  Face first, always.                      

9. Do you collect makeup or just buy what you need when you need it? Oh, I'm a collector most definitely.  Keep your eyes on my YouTube channel because I will be doing a makeup collection in the next few weeks (once I get my swap box)

10. How often do you wear false eyelashes? When the occasion calls for it, I feel like it, or I'm in a show.

11. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday? No, somedays I just wear BB Cream, mascara, a lip product of some sort, and a highlighter.

12. Do you wear makeup when you're home alone or with family? YES! Those are the best times to experiment and try new looks!

13. Will you leave the house without makeup? If BB Cream counts as makeup, then no.

17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep? I usually go back to my bedroom around 9PM and do things like blog or edit videos until around midnight, then I go to bed. When I wake up depends on what? I don't know actually. Some days I'll wake up at 7AM but yesterday I woke up close to 1PM because I didn't sleep a wink the night before.

18. How often or when do you workout?Well, currently I have a leg that is broken in three places with a cast on it now and surgery planned for after Easter so I haven't been working out.  Before all of this happened, I was walking/rolling everyday with my dog around my city and things like that.
