My Long Absence and an Update on My Life

Hi y'all!
Long time no post, I know! I'm so mad at myself that I've neglected this blog that I love so dearly.
There's no excuse for it but I'd like to explain myself.
When I started this blog I was in a weird place in my life.
I was unhappy at my job and didn't know what I truly wanted to do with my life.
Makeup and hair had always been a passion of mine but I always felt that it could only be a hobby for me and not a career so I put it on the back burner to make the money I thought I needed.
 
About a year and a half ago I left the company that I was unhappy at and went to one that made grand promises and made me feel like it was the right move. For a while it really was. I was happy with the decision and excited to start my journey there.
 Sadly that's when my blog started to lose it's steam.
About a year into my employment there the enjoyment started to fade, it wasn't as wonderful as I was promised it would be (it never is) and I was starting to feel that tug at my heart saying if it's not what you want then move on and do what makes you happy but was scared to take the leap.
 
Jump to February this year...
At the beginning of this month my entire department at the company I worked for was downsized due to falling oil prices and it really took a toll on me.
Of course I wasn't really happy there anyway but when you're booted out with zero warning, it's a slap in the face and hard to recover from. 
I feel like I went through multiple stages of grief.
I'm just now starting to come out the other side.
I'm still having a bit of a pity party every once in a while
 but I am attempting to pick up the broken pieces.
 
With that being said I think it's time for me to start believing in myself and my passion.
I'm a firm believer that there is a greater power pulling the strings upstairs and he's not going to let anything happen to me that he doesn't believe I can't handle.
I've been put on this path for a reason.
 
I am going to begin posting regularly on here as well as posting to my YouTube channel.
I'm a little nervous about the YouTube thing because of all the negativity but if I'm doing what I love I think I can handle a few rude folks.
 
I hope that y'all will go on this new adventure with me as I start the life I've always wanted.
Thanks for the support y'all!
