I love make up. I love to try it, wear it, use it, look at it. In fact, I’ve always loved make up. I tried my luck with black lipstick in 4th grade and got cornered by the librarian who then called my mother. Hey, I was trying to be edgy. I filled bins with wet ‘n wild and crafted a makeshift vanity from my childhood desk when I became a teenager. I covered an entire wall with cut outs from magazines of my favorite looks and trends.
When I was younger, I told someone I wanted to try out as many jobs as I could, just so I knew what the experience was like. While I’ve always known I wanted to be a writer, I never wanted that to be a limiting factor in an opportunity to learn or grow. I’ve also always needed money, so yeah, there’s that too.
Making small changes every day can make a bigger difference than you think. Everyone collectively agreed the last calendar year was like stepping into hot tar, but guess what? This year will be exactly the same if you don’t actively do something about it.
People always tell you to start somewhere. Well, I suppose this counts as the starting point.
