Beauty Blogger Tag

Hello my lovely friends! 

So this is my first blog tag! It's been a lot of fun to write! I was tagged by the beautiful and sweet Ciao Bella, go check out her blog! I'm just now getting into networking and just subscribed to my first 3 blogs, all of which have already been tagged so I won't be tagging anyone BUT if you are a beauty blogger and you're reading this, I'd be thrilled for you to do it and comment below with the link! I'll follow you if you do! ❤❤❤

Here are the rules for the Beauty Blogger Tag:

* State that this tag was created by The Beau Bow

* Tag some more beauty bloggers

* Title this as I've done to show what the tag is about

This tag was created by The Beau Bow!

On to my Questions & Answers:

1. Name a beauty routine you rarely do.

I have never fake tanned. It's something I want to try, I just have to find a face tanner that doesn't break me out first. Because it would drive me crazy if my face was so pale and then my body was shades darker. I can't commit to that much foundation or face product, everyday.. I just can't. 

2. Is washing your makeup brushes something you do regularly?

Yes. I deal with acne, I just got over a enormous hormone caused breakout on both sides of my face. I recently got my issue resolved and my hormones are balancing, thank goodness! But even so I still am prone to the occasional breakout. So cleaning my brushes every 7 uses or so is a must. Face brushes I try to clean every 4-5 uses. Yep I'm that crazy. 

3. How long will you last with chipped nail varnish?

I'd guess an average of about 3 hours. It drives me up the freakin wall, I can't take it. I will stare at it and I just can't take it. :-P

4. How long do you put off buying/replacing a beauty or nail polish product even if you need it (i.e. - top coat, foundation, etc.)?

I will replace rather quickly, depending on whether I need to use up something else. But my must haves I keep in stock!

5. What is your worst beauty habit?

I'm in recovery from cuticle/ finger chewing. Not a pretty habit. My fingers have been the source of much embarrassment over the past year. When my anxiety goes up, so does the speed of my teeth chewing my fingers raw. The past few months, I'm proud to say I've barely touched my fingers! Some are still a little gnarly because yes, it was that bad. But overall huge improvement. 

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off all the time.

Actually, in my life I've been trying to do whatever needs to be done right then, just dealing with it in the moment. Whether that be confronting an issue or doing the dishes, when I recognize something needs to be done, I put a lot of effort to do it right away. You'll feel better the rest of the day!

7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready until the last minute or not?

Yes usually. I'll leave most things until right before I leave. And then I'm rushing out the door. But I'm rarely late!

8. Can you commit to spending bans?

Yes. Yes I can. I will not spend... I will not spend... I will. not. spend... for now. :-P

9. How organized is your makeup and nail polish collections?

Well my makeup is in a 6 metal drawer cabinet that fits under my makeup desk. I have draws separated into foundation and cream face products, powder face products, cream and powder eye shadow singles and palettes, eye liners and mascaras and brow products, lips, and then the last draw is just misc. 

My nail polish I keep in a bag, all just throw in there. I do store my out of season colors in my other set of drawers in my closet. 

10. What is the longest time you've gone without writing a blog post?

Oh goodness. Almost 2 months? I dealt with some health issues but I'm better now and ready to blog away!!

Now to the other Tag: Confessions of a Beauty Blogger

1. How many hours a week do you spend writing/editing posts?

I'm aiming to write about 3 posts a week, which means an hour to write, 30 minutes to edit? So 4 1/2 hours

2. Are you a spender or a saver? 

Some of both! You need a little treat here and there! But saving is important too!

3. When is it easiest for you to blog?

When I'm wide awake and energized and excited!!

4. What makes writing behind a computer comfortable for you?

Well, I'm actually wanting to do YouTube videos eventually, but waiting on a camera and good lighting for that to go down. I'd rather be talking in front of a camera. But blogging is a great first step. I want to do videos on the side of  beginning my own beauty and health business!

5. What’s your worst makeup/hair habit?

The only thing I can think of is I'm bad at reapplying lipstick unless I'm somewhere fancy. That's why my go to lip is a nude or muted pink lip!

6. One quote that you wish the world would live by?

"Treat others the same way you would want to be treated."

7. How long do you spend getting ready everyday?

I really depends on situation. Errand running: 5-10 minutes, lunch date with hubs: 20-30 min, dinner date with hubs: 45-60 min, going out on the weekend: oh lord I need hours. Lol. 2 hours? 3 hours? Heaven only knows. Our spare bedroom is my closet, complete with a huge makeup desk area. I get lost in there for what seems days. Haha

8. Who is your favorite blogger?

I'm pretty new to the blogging world. My favorite beauty/ makeup person of all time is Lisa Eldridge. She changed my freakin life! Check her out, her videos are the best I've ever seen. I've learned so much from her!

9. Who is a blogger that you read who deserves more subscribers than they have?

Everyone who works hard and applies themselves! 

10. One thing your excited about in the upcoming year?

Oh goodness, so much. Furthering my career in Indy, networking online, building my blog, starting a YouTube channel, launching a web page with more than one blog! Looking forward to time with friends and family, celebrations and special days. =)

11. Your most awkward blogging moment? 

None thus far. 

12. How long does it take you to prep for a post?

Not too long. I just wait for the inspiration, and I write and write. 

13. Are you wearing pants(jeans/skirt) right now or are you actually wearing pajama bottoms?

I'm in leggings and a long black tank and sports bra. It's my everyday outfit, add layers as needed. 

14. What are you most proud of in your life?

I have been in recovery for about 6 months now from years of depression and anxiety. People for most of my life did me wrong in very sad ways, a lot of verbal, emotional, mental abuse. I separated my life from them years ago, I met my soulmate (we just celebrated 3 years of marriage this past July!). I have worked so hard and overcame cutting myself and almost taking my life. I'm alive more today than ever and doing so great now. I always knew there was more to life, and it was so worth the fight. :-) One of the blogs I want to start is a life blog, with everyday tips to help other women embrace their bodies as they are, how to build a positive life, little changes I've made to make me so consistently happy and upbeat! So much to share with the world! ❤

Bravo to you, because you've read this entire tag! Thank you so much for your time and attention, I'm truly grateful for you. Check out my other blog posts while you're here! ❤
