About

Hi everyone! I'm Sarah and the writer of this blog! I am 20 years old and a student. Here's a little bit about me: I love makeup, fashion, fitness, traveling and plenty of other things.  I figured why not start a blog about the things I love and as a little snapshot into my life - which isn't very interesting but hey, sometimes I do some cool things.  

My makeup obsession (no shame) started when I was going into my sophomore year of high school.  I did wear a little bit of makeup in middle school and was one of the only people in my group of friends that did.  My interest in makeup began to develop quickly after I spent the summer on crutches which in turn meant that I spent a lot of my summer in bed (with my leg in a cast).  I was bored out of my mind, going through tons of books and watching reruns for the umpteenth time so I decided that I would try to learn how to do makeup - I didn't even have to get out of bed.  I was watching videos and reading posts about products and I would just sit there and practice different eyeshadow looks over and over literally for hours at a time and fell in love with doing makeup.  Since then I have acquired quite a collection of makeup and I still love experimenting and actually worked on a few high school plays doing the hair, makeup and costumes.  When I finish with school I am debating taking classes to get a makeup license. Makeup is something I love and I do not know all the tips and tricks and I am not a professional but I have picked up quite a few things over the years and it is something I love to do.  I spend a lot of time on makeup - doing my makeup, looking up reviews etc. so I figured why not write some posts about it because I love looking at tons of reviews before I buy something and I am always open to learning something new! This was how I learned to do makeup in the first place.

Fashion I have always loved; I do tend to go a little Pinterest crazy, I will not lie.  I do not dress to the nines every day of my life or every time I leave my room; I love my yoga pants, sweat pants and hoodies as much as the next girl.  I also do not own a ton of expensive, designer brands, I love a good bargain and I believe in investing in staples.  Style is subjective, everyone has different likes and dislikes but I enjoy seeing what other people are wearing and the combinations that they come up with.  There will be some posts about items I find and things that I love, steals that I find etc. 

Another passion of mine is fitness and cooking.  I LOVE to bake - I am also a stress baker so I bake a lot.  I have been working on substituting ingredients in my baked goods to make them healthier since I bake so often - a lot of the time it is because I start and realize I don't have all of the ingredients so I have to do some quick thinking.  Cooking is a more recently found love now that I have a kitchen and  have to depend on myself to be fed.  I've been using some of the recipes from the Tone It Up Nutrition plan which leads me into fitness. I will do an entire post about my fitness journey but long story short, I used to hate it and now I love it.  I have tried so many different workouts in order to find ones that I enjoy so I will surely share my experiences with that.

Overall, this blog is really just a snapshot of my life and travels, things I've seen and stuff I have learned along the way. Maybe it will help some of you out, maybe you won't like anything I post or maybe you will stumble on something that inspires you.
