Let's get to know each other😄

For my first post I would like to say Hi and tell you a little about myself and why I wanted to share my love of learning new things in the girly girl world of skin care, makeup, subscription box and and new trends coming out.

So let me tell you about my background in the world of beauty which is really really lacking.

My name is Victoria and I am 37 years old.  I live in upstate NY.  I work the overnight shift at an animal ER.  My boyfriend is a OTR trucker so when he is home you can say we live together.  If we get to see each other a few hours a week if we are lucky, but you are not here to hear about that.

When I was growing up I lived with my mother and father and two older brothers. Now I was always a girly girl at heart.  The problem was there was no one around me that was.  My mother never used makeup or cared about skin or hair care.  She thought that being that she had two sons she did not want that "stuf" in the house so they did not play with it.  Weird I know but true.  So I grew up the same way.  As a young teen and into my early tweentys I never did any skin care.  I truly thought there was nothing I could do about my break outs, dry spots, oily spots, red spots and well you get the idea.  I would look at other girls girls in school or women in my neighborhood and could not figure out why they where so pretty and I hated leaving the house.

When I started to go the collage, that is when things started to change.  I started to see what others where doing.  I would go down that aisle in the store that was to quote my mother " a waste of money".  Truth be told for the longest time I never did anything that really helped my skin or make up that look good on me.  It took me a long time not to buy by price but for what was best for me ( my mother's voice in the back of my mind). Over time my mother even started to try out things on a small scale but it was  start. 

Even when I started to use makeup I was so timid.  I was afraid of what I would look like or what people would think.  It took me time to get over my low self esteem.  Now I will proudly walk out of the house with s bright purple lip on just because I like the color. 

And that brings us to now.  I am still learning (thank God for YouTube).  But I am having the best time on this journey.  It is amazing how much this stuff has helped in so many areas of my life.  I feel better about myself and there for i have more confidence my self.  I have relaxation rituals that are great for me to deal with the stress of every day life.  And because of this and so many other reasons I am a happier person.  It may not have fixed the problems in my life but at least now i have an outlet for it.
