Sometimes...

Well usually I blog about makeup, fashion, beauty, and nails, but today (at least right now) I'm not going.  I have a lot of my mind and can't seem to get everything in perspective.  I have some things going on in my life that involve me embarking on new endeavors, however there are factors that are both in my control and out of my control that are hindering me from them.  I work hard; at work, in my relationship, and pretty much anything else I do.  It really sucks when things don't pan out, even when you put some much time and energy into it and you still don't know what you're doing wrong.  Its something I want sooooo bad and I just can't seem to succeed with this one part of it that pretty much makes or breaks the whole deal.  I'm so busy with everything that I'm doing right now, I wish I just balance everything perfectly...even though I know there's no such thing as perfect.

 

When I think about this new endeavor, I'm excited and full with anticipation and energy.  On the other, I also have that little voice in the back of my mind that says "what if it doesn't go well?" "what if you fail?" "what if you don't even get to do it?" ...sucks, I know right!  I'd rather at least get there and try, versus not making it there at all.  I haven't wanted something this much in a really really really long time, and this is honestly the one of the first times I've had trouble obtaining something I wanted.  Not that I'm being a brat, but like I said, I work hard for the things I have and I work equally as hard to keep them.

 

For almost three months I've been trying to get everything together to reach this goal, and its only one thing holding me back!  I've tried twice already to accomplish this one thing and both times I fell short by just a few points.  I have one more chance (for this year), coming up in March and I have to do my absolute best.  However, it's so hard staying motivated with so much pressure, in addition to the regular life stresses that I experience everyday.  I'm strong in my belief in God and that he will bless me, that's what gets me through the day.  No amount of dedication and hard work can compare to His power.  It's important for me to pray and talk to Him everyday and continue to ask for strength.  There is no other place to get it from.  I know that I can't get over this obstacle and achieve my goal without His help and blessings.  It's a matter of staying strong in my convictions and steadfast through and barriers that get in my way.  I know I have great potential and that I CAN beat this one thing.  I don't just want to beat it, I want to pulverize it...lol (a little bit of edge there...sorry).

 

Its time to stop feeling sorry for myself, stop beating up on myself, and to get REAL!  I need to get real about what I really want and set my sights on it.  I know that with pray and trust in God, that I will make it. I just need to continue to believe in myself, and not doubt myself or the power of God.

Blog New Years Resolutions!

So I have been pretty lax with my blog...and with my Youtube channel, but I have good reason!  LIFE!  Yeah, that's pretty much it.  I've been so busy with 'real life' stuff that I haven't had the mental capacity for bloggin or youtub-ing.  You know how you just have a lot going on and alll your extra hobbies, yeah that is, extra go out the window.  So on top of my actuall hobbies, such as baking, crafting, shopping, etc., bloggin and youtubing falls into the extra category. However, this upcoming year I am making,or at least trying to, a committment to keep up with at least one of these extra hobbies once a week.  TBH, I can blog anytime, on my phone, at work, etc, etc., but I can't Youtube anytime, hence not being able to upload videos at work and I don't own a laptop.  Also, there is a possibly that later next year I will not have access to a computer, or much technology for the matter, at all.  Anyways, I really want my blog to be successful, therefore I am attempting to make it a priority.  So, if this means I need to blog from my phone before bed at night, join more online bloggin communities, shoutout in my YT videos more, then I am!  I've always been better in words than on camera anyways.  So here's the rundown (in bullets on course):
  • Blog at least 2x a week
  • One review a week
  • One random post about anything
  • Get a snazzy blog layout
  • Promote blog more
  • Get a message board going (possibly, will need to look at how much $ it would be)
  • Update it through my phone if not near a comp
  • Blog wisely
  • Interact and respond my to my readers
I'm gonna hold myself to these, so you hold me to them too!xoxo~Tenns

Have you ever felt...

Just kinda blah? I have been in the most blah mood lately. I'm not in a necessarily bad mood, but its just not a great mood. Between work and home life I've just had a lot going on. I started back uploading to YT and that's cool, but it seems like I'm just trying to fill my plate w/ more and more things to pass the time. I've been pretty uninspired w/ makeup, and hair let's not even get into. Anyways, that's just a short blurb about what's going on w/ me. Anyhow, I'll prob be putting together some more jewelry today and tomorrow so stay on the look out for that.I can't believe I've been on YT for almost a year! I can't say its been a roller coaster or anything. I had to step away from it for a bit to decide if I really wanted to keep doing it, and I came to the conclusion to continue. Its tough sometimes, b/c I get so excited about posting and making videos, but by the time I edit, upload, and get a few views its a little discouraging. All the time it takes to do the videos, and you want people to see them. On the same token, I've looked at some of y videos and found them quite boring. My real personality just never really comes across on camera. It really suck, but I'm a work in progress!

My life as a Marine girlfriend...so far

So I've pretty much been a Marine g/f for 5 months and it has definitely been interesting. My b/f is in Va and I'm still in Ga. I stayed here, b/c #1 I couldn't go w/ him since weren't not married and #2 I have a full-time job here. It does suck that I'm not there w/ him, but you gotta do what you gotta go, ya know? Before he was commissioned he went to OCS for 3 months and those were probably the hardest months of this whole experience. He couldn't use the phone for like the first 3 weeks, and on top of that his service of his phone had been interrupted nearly the entire time he was there. Finally we got all that straightened out w/ his phone and the last 2-3 weeks we could talk pretty liberally on the weekends. Long story short, he did commission and was home for 3 weeks. It was bittersweet, b/c they went by sooo fast and before we knew it we were headed back up to Va. Now, he's back up there for the next 6 or so months and to be honest it has taken a toll on me in almost everyway. I miss him so much, yet in the grand scheme of things I know this period won't last forever. I try to remind myself of this everyday and stay strong. There is so much I'm not familar w/ about military life. This will definitely be an interesting experience!

Hump Day!

Happy Wednesday everyone! So I finally got my update video posted and I hope it explains a lot. I felt like I owed both my new and old subscribers an explanation by posting it. Now coming back I feel a lot more confident posting videos and just putting myself out there. I am already seeing a difference w/ the interation w/ my subscribers and followers and I'm so excited about that. Now I really feel like I can be myself and I think that's the best way to come across through my videos and such. I'll be blogging a lot more so that's definitely something that I have prioritized right up there with doing videos. Just remember everyone to alway be yourself, and if you feel you arenlt being yourself take a sec to pull and re-examine your situation. Have an awesome, beautiful day and I hope that if its rainy and yucky out where you live, like it is where I live, that you make the best of it and keep your head up!

<3 u guys!

Bedtime Blogging

So I figured the best time to blog was right before bed. Its funny that I should totally be sleep right now, but it never fails that I'm up pass 12. Anyways, so happy I my update video done. I definitely felt the need to let my subscribers, new and old know what was going on. Right now it hasn't slowed down at work. My boss and I projected that by this month we would have slowed. Once I get my lighting situation and time, I'll definitely be doing several videos. Anyhow folks that all for now!
