Where have I been?

I just wanted to post a quick note to say hi and let you all know that I'm still here and haven't disappeared into makeup oblivion.

I do want to apologize for not announcing the contest winners yet, I had planned on doing that right away but things got in the way and now here we are in November. I will be making a video this week for sure to announce the winners even if I don't post any others right away. Thank you again to all who entered the entries were great and I really appreciate everyone who entered!

Where have I been? Well, I've been here just not blogging or making videos. As we all know there is a live outside of YT (for most of us at least) and although YT has been a big part of my life for over a year other things started to come up and it was time for a break. Nothing super serious, just stuff that was more important and took more energy to deal with.

I do want to thank everyone who has emailed or DM'd or PM'd or left me messages on my profile. I truly appreciate each and every message and am really touched that so many of you have thought of me and wanted to know how I am. I really didn't think anyone would notice or care for that matter. I now realize that I have made more connections that I thought since a lot of you who I had little interaction with have contacted me and I'm really touched. Thank you! And I apologize for not responding, yet, but I will :).

To the person who contacted me wanting to know why I stopped following them, maybe you need to step away from the camera and take a good look in the mirror. If we were really friends you would have noticed 2 months prior, and instead of being so self absorbed and only caring about yourself you would have asked how I was. Clearly you don't know what real friends are or how to be anything other than fake.

To everyone else, I miss you all too and do need to get my but in gear and rejoin the land of YT and twitter. I also want to thank you for caring. And I want to say a special THANK YOU to TheChryyyyst for sending me such a great surprise in the mail last week. Chrysst/TheChryyyst has been a subscriber since before I hit the 500 mark. She's also someone one, who for having never met me, knows what I like. Her gift (pictures later) was so sweet and unexpected, and touching because everything that she sent was something that I myself would have picked out and she sent it just because. SO THANK YOU TheChryyyst!!!!!!!!!!! You didn't have to, and I know you know that which makes it even more special.

That’s about it, nothing exciting, and nothing to worry about. I'm alive, I'm well, I'm just consumed with real life stuff right now. I will tell you that even hubby is telling me that I need to get back into making videos though which is funny and sweet, he's always so supportive even if he doesn't completely understand why I do things.

Regular posts will be back next week (interviews etc.) since I have been taking pictures of the NOTM and just other randomness. I also have lots of reviews to catch up on. I just wanted to say HI and thank most of you for being so great and supportive. I really am touched by the number of people who have reached out to me.
