UPDATE: Where in the world is Camen Sand....Nope. Just me...

Okay. I know. I've been unfaithful. I've spent hours with other blogs. I've laughed. I've cried. I've shared deep secrets. But they weren't satisfying me like you were. I'm sorry. I can't quit you. Give me another chance? Anyway, enough silliness. Life has been insane the past year or 2. Like, REALLY insane. I've switched jobs so many times in the past 2 years. Lay offs SUCK! (Well...unless the people you work for are crappy...) But regardless, it's the worst feeling in the world being thrown out to the sharks. I HATE job interviews! I HATE not knowing when you're going to be able to afford a hot meal. It's awful! What I hate most of all is putting my love and energy into a company and getting crapped on in return. THAT, my friends, is the worst feeling in the world, especially when they slap THEIR name on YOUR work. But I digress...karma does what I should not. Through all of this, it's so easy to feel down and depressed, especially when you're in it alone. Anyhoo...I am without job again. I had a pretty great interview on Friday and I hope that works out. More marketing type stuff. I have lots of awesome ideas for this company and I think that's probably why my interview was over an hour long! I really hope that's a good sign... So having this newfound free time (and mild depression...)I've decided blogging again. Blogging is therapeutic for me. I can use my voice and state my opinions, my dreams, my frustrations-and no one can stop me! Yuck-just took a sip of water and saw a fly in my cup! EW! FOCUS! Okay, so! I've obviously been away for a while and had a bunch of time to figure out which beauty products work for me. When you're on a budget, it's SO important to find what works and stick with it. I'm hoping I can share some insight with beauty lovers on a budget. I used to have a MASSIVE kit. I had thousands of eye shadows, hundreds of lipsticks and dozens of mascaras. But when you move 3 times in 1 year, you learn to let go of a lot of stuff. My kit now is tiny. I've lost most of my Sigma brushes and that breaks my heart to millions of pieces. Nevertheless, I now know what I need to survive and I think I'm really figuring out who I am, what I want and how to get it. In my personal life, I've lost 2 of my best friends in the past year. They didn't die or anything...but our friendships did. I still wish them well, but after a while you have to let go. You can't complain about being a victim if you put yourself in that situation. "Never let someone become your priority while you remain their option." I value my morals and honesty and I expect the people I keep close to share those same characteristics. It's really an accountability thing. I could go on and on about this because it's something that I'm passionate about, but that's all a bit upsetting and I want this blog to be a happy place! *Que fireworks!* Once things get back to normal, I'll be taking requests for product reviews. Is there something you've seen on QVC that has you curious? Is there a new brand you want to try, but are nervous about? Tell me! Let me be the lab rat! I'm going to try to post fairly frequently now that I have my pc hooked up to the internet. (Who knew you could hook it straight to the Uverse receiver and have instant access?! GENIUS!) Now, I need to update this thing and look into purchasing the .com version. Watch out world! Till next time, Jenn
