MIA Explanation

Hi beautiful makeup fans!

A poor explanation for why I have not been making videos or blog updates:

I am so sorry that I seemed to have just completely disappeared without any explanation as to why I stopped. I am hoping to be able to explain that in this blog.

I am going to admit that maybe I was trying too hard to get videos and blogs out too quickly because I somewhat exhausted myself from trying to do too much all at once. Originally, I was only supposed to take a personal break for maybe a week or two from doing videos and blogging to clear my head and focus on some personal things that I felt I was neglecting. A lot of people do not realize how hard it really is to try to make weekly videos. That was the part that was stressing me out the most. Then as I was taking my break MAC decided to come out with a lot of products after their 'Hey, Sailor!' Summer major collection release. I felt really bad because I didn't have a lot of money to throw on makeup products in order to review them like I started out wanting to so I felt a bit defeated. I felt like I was letting people down because of that. A lot of MAC's collections don't stick around very long and I couldn't keep up with reviewing the products in real time. That was really disappointing to me. So basically I needed a break from doing this because it became like a 24/7 job, then MAC started coming out with a lot of small collections so I was falling behind in keeping up with products, and financial reasons because as much as I want to I don't have a lot of money to throw at keeping up with buying products. That was just from MAC, I can't even imagine trying to keep up with all these different companies.

I had a lot of ideas of which I have written in my spiral notebook about the products I wanted to talk about, the things I wanted to talk about with each product, and video ideas, but I could not get myself motivated enough to go through with executing my ideas, especially when it came to videos.

I have really wanted to jump back into writing blogs and eventually making some videos again. But I am not going to try doing so much all at once because that became too much. I figure I will start out by writing a blog or two a week and make videos a few times a month. I really wanted to do a video on Clinique's facial system and the Aussie 3 minute miracle products. I am still really liking and using the Aussie 3 minute miracle products. I don't really use the Clinique 3 step skincare system the way that I used to. I still use it and I still really like it, but not as much as I used to for that month straight.

Thank you for reading and having patience with me. I am sorry for leaving without saying anything. I wanted to explain why I was going to take the break, but I wasn't sure exactly how to phrase it. I kept thinking I was going to come back, but then became overwhelmed with how much products were flying to the shelves. I would at least like to finish reviewing the products that I do have. I don't like leaving things unfinished. I am sorry that it took me so long to update. I hope this explains some things.

Sincerely,
Marina
