New Blog on the Block

So, here's the thing. I love beauty blogs. Adore 'em. I could spend all day reading various beauty/nail/hair/fashion blogs. The problem is, even though I enjoy reading them, most of the ones I've come across just aren't super helpful! My biggest blog problems are probably the same as most other girls... The blogger looks completely different from me, so the tutorials won't work for me. The reviews are ALL about high end, expensive (not that that's a bad thing), products that I will never be able to afford. The nail tutorials are all catered to girls with long ,beautiful ,healthy nails, and are done by a girl that has crazy steady hands. The OOTD's are all from girl that are a size 2-4 (again, nothing wrong with that), or they are SUPER expensive clothing that just don't work with my budget. Now, I know off the bat, I sound like a real Debbie-downer. The thing is, I still enjoy blogs even when they don't cater to me. I appreciate the creativity and fabulousness of so many of todays bloggers. I started this blog on the assumption that there are girl like me out there, having the same blog issues I'm having.

Now that you know WHY I started this project, let me tell you a little about me. My name is Sara. I'm addicted to all things beauty (obviously). I'm 25 years old and I live in Ohio with my best friend, Drew. I work a regular part time job. I'm not a makeup artist or a nail tech. I don't make a whole lot of money, which I think gives my blog a little something special, as my budget is a little more relatable. I'm in the same boat as most American women my age. I'm also plus size. Again, maybe a little more relatable than some other blogs you may have stumbled across? Not that there is anything wrong with NOT being plus sized, I'm not a thin-hater or anything... I have really REALLY fair skin and freckles. Something I don't see a whole lot of in the blogosphere. I also wear glasses.. all the time, so I know a thing or two about putting on a face with a mirror in one hand and a brush in the other (a lot harder than it sounds!) The truth is, I'm just an average, everyday, chubby girl with glasses, no tan, and a teeny tiny budget :) And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one!
