Some Changes

Oct

Hi Everybody! (hi Dr. Nick!) I wanted to inform you guys about some changes that I’ll be making on my Youtube channel and maybe my website. This post will also be sort of a “note” for myself as well.

First of all, I really want to thank all of you out there who visit my site, read my posts, comment, and subscribe to updates. I try to put some effort and time in taking pictures and writing decent (lol) posts for you to read. I really appreciate those who also kept in contact with me even during my downtime on Youtube. You guys rock! :arrow:

PERSONAL ENTRIES: When I first started this blog, my intention was to write beauty related entries and personal entries as well. That is still the intent even though personal entries have taken a backseat. I’ve got a couple ideas saved but I’ve just been too lazy to start them. It’s like starting to write a paper, which I tend to avoid as much as I possibly can! ha! The “personal” entries might not be what some may think of. It’s not about my daily activities or life. That would be too repetitive and boring as hell. The personal entries are more of my thoughts and opinions on certain subjects. This is just a warning for those who might assume that this is purely a beauty blog. Don’t be too surprised if you see a “personal” entry pop up.

REVIEWS: I won’t be making many video reviews on my Youtube channel. They will be done to either products that I really love or that I strongly hate to get the word out to more people. I’m never good at video reviews. I’m always staring off at the horizon trying to remember everything that needs to be said and I would have to make an outline, rehearse, and do 5 takes if I wanted a decent video made. Also, there are certain products, like mascaras for example, where I feel that written reviews with photos are more appropriate than making a video about them. As a reader of other blogs, I find myself partial to mascara reviews on blogs than watching a video. In the case that I do review a product on Youtube, I will post a written review first.

RANDOM VIDEOS: Some people seem to be getting annoyed over the random videos that I post on my “beauty” YT account (I do try to title my videos appropriately you know…) I’ve had my itsliz89 YT account before I started uploading any video. Ultimately it is my account and the videos that I choose to upload are my decision, but for the sake of organization, I’ve created a new Youtube account, itslizard89, where I will upload my videos that don’t fit within the theme of “beauty”.

SALES: I’m always on the prowl for sales and coupons and try to get the best deals I can. Ever get bummed when I got something for super cheap mentioned in a haul and by the time you found out the deal was over? Well, I’ll try to post things like Ulta coupons, Sephora codes, and other offers that I bump to on my twitter account, itsliz89. I can’t possibly tweet every makeup offer that’s out there. You can’t expect me to tweet about the drugstore sales that they change every week. You can look at your weekly circular for that, but I’ll try to at least share the ones I’m taking advantage of. I do sometimes make ambiguous tweets that are my random thoughts at the moment so don’t get too creeped out :???:

I think that wraps up the changes that I have planned for now. Comments, suggestions? Leave a comment!

Here are some things that I purchased within the past few months. Surprisingly, no MAC. The new items MAC has released in their collections haven’t impressed me much. Many new products are looking like items I already have.
