Bloggie Wednesdays: The Day In Life of This Beauty Blogger

Bloggie Wednesdays: The Day In Life of This Beauty Blogger

At the beginning of the year, I decided to take the plunge and do blogging full-time. I’ve been focusing so much time on blogging the past year that I’ve decided to move on and put my jewelry on the back seat for a while. Plus, on top of blogging, I’ve decided to take on freelance blogging projects as well (helping clients with WordPress, web hosts, etc) so I’ve been quite the busy bee.

Some of you have asked me how I spend my days and I thought I’d share that with you today. I’m sure you’ve read how other bloggers’ days works and that there’s no fixed daily schedule. It’s true. I don’t have one either. I could be working on the blog all day without even leaving the house at all or out all day for meetings, events and/or more writing. Before you go “wahh she gets to attend so many events!“, let me clarify that that’s not true. In Melbourne, I get the opportunity to attend a media event once every 2-3 weeks. We’ll be lucky to have one once a month! 🙂

For the days that I am home, I do try to keep to a schedule if I can as I’m more productive with one. When there’s no structure being self-employed, one has to create the structure as best as he/she can and that’s what I do.

Boy oh boy, do I have some blush eye candy today for you or what. 😛

I recently had the awesome possum opportunity to try out four beautiful blushes from Dior’s Summer 2013 Mix and Match blush collection. I’ve not tried any cream blushes from Dior before so this was an eye-opener for me. The four blushes are the Capri, Bikini, Pareo and Panama.

6th Blogaversary Giveaway: And We Have A Winner!

Thank you for all your entries in my 6th blog birthday’s giveaway! I really enjoyed reading every comment, words of encouragement and suggestions for the blog. Reading them again gave me the warm fuzzies and really makes my day. 🙂

It’s such a cliche but I really wish I could give something to ALL of you instead of having to choose just one winner. So many of your entries blew my mind with your amazing creativity! There’s no way I’d be able to write like that, hand on heart.

Without further ado, I’m proud to announce the winner to the 6th blogaversary giveaway. Congratulations Jill MacMullen! I just have to share her entry with you because man, it was good!

I have a little cupboard,
that I now wish had a key,
filled with treasures just for me.
All the beuaty products I adore,
from MAC to Chanel and Christian Dior.
With skin care, makeup, frangrance galore,
I love to treat myself that’s for sure!
But this is a story of earlier today,
involving my two year old gone astray.
I left her alone so I could wash,
got out of the shower – and ohh my gosh.
My Christian Dior lipstick was no more,
it was used to draw on the wall.
Chanel No.5 I could smell,
the bottle was empty – just a shell.
For she had sprayed it into a bowl,
to bath her doll – bless her soul…
My blood was boiling, but it doesn’t end there,
I go to the loungeroom, and more despair.
A white leather lounge suite with red nail polish,
my daughter thinks she’s quite accomplished!!
This certainly has taught me a lesson,
don’t leave two year old’s alone for a second!!
Cleaning and scrubbing will comprise the rest of my day,
after I LOCK my remaining treasures away!

Congratulations once again! Please check your email inbox for the congratulatory note and request for your contact details.

Commiserations to the rest of the entrants. Thanks again for participating. There’ll be lots more giveaways to come so do stay tuned. 🙂
