My new beauty blog, Belle or Bust, is up and running!
Hey there! I’m excited to announce my beauty blog, Belle or Bust, is finally up and running. As of now, I only have one post published, and my ABOUT and CONTACT ME page completed but, hey, it’s up right?! And on Wordpress nonetheless! Yep, I learned am learning Wordpress. So far, I’m pretty impressed! Of course, my beauty blog will be a work in progress as I continue to make design tweaks, layout adjustments, add plug-ins, and optimize it for search engines!

Livi’s first day of preschool!
It was Livi’s first day of school on September 15th, and she did me proud! I had mixed feelings about how she was going to react with dropping her off and not being able to go in with her. Our school has a strict policy in place that requires the parent to stay in their car at drop off so a teacher can escort them into the building. I was concerned Livi would question why I was letting someone she didn’t know take her away when we’ve been teaching her not to go with strangers since she was in utero. Okay, maybe not for that long, but close. Being that Livi was chosen off a wait list at the last minute, we missed the open house where we would have had the opportunity to meet the faculty and staff. With that said, I set up a meeting with her teacher so Livi and I could meet her in advance. Not only did this make Livi and I feel more comfortable about the first day of school, but her teacher was no longer a stranger.

Interested in a make-up tutorial?
If you missed my previous post, Beauty guru or bust, you’d know that I’m thinking of starting a beauty blog and YouTube channel. Before I do, however, it would be a HUGE help and greatly appreciated if you take a minute to vote on my poll (in the sidebar to the right). I’m anxious to see which topic you’d be interested in most! If you click the view button on the widget, it allows you to vote and leave comments. You can also leave me a comment here as well. In case you are torn between what you’d like to see on my new beauty blog, here are some new selfies to help you along. I had a blast with this make-up look. It was definitely Fall inspired. I used my new Smashbox Master Class Palette III for the very first time. And, before I let you go, Stila beauty products seriously rock! Just sayin’.

Beauty guru or bust!
I’ve been obsessed lately with beauty gurus, both vloggers and bloggers. After much thought, I have decided to start a new beauty blog and/or YouTube channel. With Alivia starting school this Fall, I’ll have an entire hour and a half each day all to myself. I say that sarcastically since an hour and half isn’t even enough time for me to catch my breath never mind fulfill a life long passion of mine: MAKE-UP! And although it may not work out or fit in with our day-to-day activities and schedule, I’m still going to take the plunge and try!
Go easy on me, I’m still trying to perfect my selfie skills. It’s not easy taking pictures of yourself without a little bit of face and/or body distortion.
With that said, I’d love to know what my readers would be interested in. Topics you’d like to see me post about, videos you’d like to watch, things you’d like to learn etc.
For those of you interested, I have every intention of keeping my primary blog, Cropped Stories, up and running. Of course, since my leave of absence, I’m sure you’ve noticed quite a BIG change in the frequency of posts being published. I went from publishing 2-3 posts a week to 1 every couple of months.
So, how do I intend to maintain two blogs when I can barely maintain one? Lots of praying! Praying for more hours in the day, ten more fingers to type with, Alivia to take naps, and a seemingly quick knowledge of video editing software. I just want to know how to add music to my videos already!
Anyhow, your participation in my poll would be helpful and much appreciated. You can also feel free to leave me a comment or email me at:
croppedstories[at]gmail[dot]com
If you missed my previous post, Blogging: 8 Ugly Truths, feel free to catch up! Also, feel free to pass this along to others you think would be interested in voting! Have a great week!
