Just a little updating..

Hey lovelies! I just wanted to give you the run down on what's going to be happening here in the next few weeks!

1. I will be on Hiatus until January 4th! I will be in my Jersey home which means I won't have any of the things I need to do reviews. Also, there hasn't been any sun here in a good week. So I can't review anything anyway.

2. I will be posting my giveaway when I am back from my Hiatus! I have tons of stuff that I can not wait to give to one of you lucky lovelies! (Trust me I wish I was keeping these things all to myself)

3. It is my 1 year bloggiversary (December 5, 2010)! Seems like it went by so quickly and in reality it did! I feel like I am going to write a post on the last year of my life because in the last year, there have been so many changes.

4. I will be redoing a lot of my original reviews when I return from my Hiatus. This means I will be combining swatches from other posts and redoing swatches from the past. Then I will create a page where you can find all these swatches and things. I will try to swatch every single eye shadow I own. I even have a list!

5. I want to tell you loves my New Year's Resolutions. I usually do more than one so just in case one fails I have more to go to. So here they are:
        1. I want to lose 35 pounds before May. I know this might seem hard but I am really determined. I have already lost 25 pounds since August and I feel like a new person. I am down a whole jean size and almost a shirt size. Also I need to look good for my boyfriend's prom =P.
        2. I want me ankle to heal so I never have to worry about it again. I horribly sprained my ankle in April. Yea I know, April is really far back. It still hurts to this very day and now I am on crutches. It didn't help constantly walking on it or marching on it. But hopefully it will heal.
        3. To keep my relationship with my boyfriend. I was almost hesitant writing this one down since, lets face it, I love my boyfriend til the end of time. But things do go wrong and things can happen that are out of our control.
        4. To find the perfect dress. This might sound weird. But I want a dress that fits me right that is like me. Most clothes now run for shorter people, especially dresses. So I try on hundreds of dresses that look so awesome only to find that I am about....5 inches too tall for them. Some could be a shirt on me other dresses that are supposed to be Maxi dresses, hit my mid calf. Now, I'm not saying I am super model tall, I am 5 foot 9 in. But I feel left out in the clothing word. Especially with jeans...but that's a different story.
         5. To get good grades. Well that's just a given isn't it.

So, now that you know. I will disappear to study for my finals which will be held next week. Unless there is a sunny day so you might see a post. But I would like to wish you all a Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year. May all your wishes come true (CORNY ALERT <3)

Love,

T

A New Chapter...

       So, I was thinking when I hit 10000 views (I am at 8819 at the moment) and 100 followers, I will host a giveaway! I have some Black Rose Minerals already set up and I'm gonna try looking for sponsors. This will not have nail polish so this will be an INTERNATIONAL giveaway for all my lovelies in the UK and Canada and everywhere else =]. What do you guys think?

         Also, after 2 months, I finally get to see my boyfriend! I know, I don't talk about him too much on here but I try to keep this Indie related as much as I can. So here is a recap on my life as of now. I am now a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh. Which is 6 hours away from where I used to live in NJ. My boyfriend is still in NJ and I haven't seen him since I left. He got me a really adorable ring and sent me an amazing care package. We plan on getting married eventually.
         I'm adjusting to college life, spending my money on makeup, going on no-buys. I live in a single dorm and my room has Beatles posters, a Domo poster and a Winnie the Pooh poster. I have some stuffed animals (all that my boyfriend gave me (his name is Kevin)). Kevin and I have been dating for almost 7 months now and I am the happiest person in the world with him. I love him more than makeup. He knows I blog and of my makeup obsession. He thinks its cute. I'm wondering if he will read this post. lol But hes the most amazing person on the planet and if you are friends with me on facebook, you can see he is all I talk about (sorry if that is annoying).
         I am in the marching band at Pitt I will be on ABC channel this saturday. It is truly exciting!! National television. Look for me okay? lol Try to? But I did hurt my ankle and I am slowly working back to get it's strength so I can march properly. I'm trying my hardest. Its tough man. But I've lost about 15 pounds doing it. I feel great.
        I would also just like to thank everyone who helped me get to this point in my life. Blogging life, life life. Whatever life. All the people in the facebook groups who always support me, my twitter buddies, Kevin and my friends here and at home. I miss you all and hope to meet you all one day. You always inspire me to strive harder, to be better, and to create some wacky makeup combo. And for that, I thank you. This rant must end eventually so here it goes!

The end. And a beginning of a new chapter in my life.

Love,

Taryn

Now for a little rant:
This week has been kinda stressful. It started off great! I finally got a bf. The first bf ive had in the past year! But then things got really tough for him. He's had a really bad week. And i've been there talking to him and helping him pick himself up again. But sometimes he's been really worrying me. So when i get worried i get really sick. So, ive been super sick lately too. He's doing a little better and our friends are helping him out. So, if you want you can send me a tweet saying u hope he gets better and ill send them all to him. He thinks people don't really care about him and I'm trying to show him that people do. So, yea theres my mini rant. Thanks for reading. =] I love you all!

Love,
