My Life Lately & An Apology for Not Blogging in Forever...


I'm so sorry I've been pretty absent here on my blog! I've been working so hard trying to keep up on my YouTube beauty channel lately. I've also been thinking about trying to get back into my personal vlog channel too. There have been a couple of weeks where I didn't think I would have the time or energy to get my two weekly videos up on my main channel, much less work on this blog. Life has been somewhat crazy lately for me and my sweet husband Justin. We've had things to do every weekend since early September, which puts a strain on filming because the weekends are really the only days I get any time to film and work on YouTube (not to mention the only time I get to spend quality time with family too).

Now in the case of blogging, I usually like to get new product reviews done here, but I honestly haven't really been up to date on any new stuff lately. I haven't bought any new makeup in awhile, where usually I try to stop by Walgreens or CVS once a week to see what's new, I just haven't felt the urge to do so lately. And it might also be influenced by the fact that Justin and I are trying to save money more regularly to try and get a little ahead of the bills as well. We're moving into the slow season at my day job though and hopefully I will have more time on my hands (but also less money in my pocket). We'll see how it goes. This is my first year for a lot of things. My first year living with Justin, married, in our own house, out of school, working full time, etc. And I think it's finally started to catch up with me now.  

As you probably saw, I posted a couple little recipes here on my blog (not something that I've really done in the past). I've just been focusing more on home life than the beauty world. I'm considering re-doing my banner here on the blog to say "beauty & fashion & more" and hopefully being able to post a big variety of things.

So that's my life right now and I hope to start back up on her for you guys! Of course I miss blogging and I hope to start back up shortly!

Love,
Alaina
