Day 18 — Your favorite beauty guru

Wow, day 18 already. To be honest, I almost forgot to write this post today, I had to go to work early and I am exhausted. Anyway, my favorite beauty guru...hmmm...


I really used to love Michele1218. I don't know what it is about her, but if she raved about something, no matter what it was, something clicked in my head and I just had to get it!
I love her style and how she always had neutral eye tutorials. Plus she's super pretty! I really was sad when she decided to leave YouTube because she was one of those people that if she made a new video, all the other videos in my subscription box would just simply have to wait. I wish she would come back just to do random hauls or something!!


I also love to watch LisaLisaD1, because, like Michele, she makes me want everything! I love how she puts what she's wearing in the description box because on most days, I'll think "wow her lips look amazing!" or "I really love her eyeshadow" and I can just read below to find out what it is! She's also really nice and always responds to my comments. I'm a huge fan of her Friday Hauls-as if Friday wasn't already the best day, I can't wait to come home and watch Lisa's weekly haul!


For real makeup lessons, I always refer to Pixiwoo. I love Sam and Nic, I think they are two of the best makeup artists and teachers out there. They both do beautiful looks of all kinds and they show you how to achieve it from beginning to end. And hello, their accent? Please! In Fact, Sam just posted a picture of her latest tutorial, Pamela Anderson makeup, she looks stunning and I can't wait for the video to be posted!

Of course, I have a million other gurus I always watch, LolaMarie7, TheMakeupAddict86, EmilyNoel83, Jenny04105, StephBusta, LisaEldridgedotcom...the list goes on and on.

See you tomorrow!

Day 05 — Your favorite thing to do & Day 06 — Anything Hello Kitty

Bad Liz, Bad. I skipped a day of this. In all fairness, I had a horrible day at work on Friday, went out to dinner as soon as I got home (celebration of losing 5% of my goal...and 11.5 pounds so far) and went to bed at 8:15. I know, it's an excuse, but I honestly did forget.

My punishment shall be to write both yesterday and today's blog post immediately. Here I go.

My Favorite Thing To Do. Hmm...I would have to say put really comfy clothes on, grab a Diet Vernors and write this blog and watch the new videos that have popped into my subscription box on YouTube. Preferably with Christmas music and/or movie playing in the background. I know, I'm sick. ;)

Ok Anything Hello Kitty. This should be easy, and I'm going to approach this the same way I approached having to tell my family that I didn't care for my Dear Aunt Joanie's shortbread (or any shortbread, for that matter)...I don't like Hello Kitty.

It's not because it was trendy and I was trying to be different. It's because I honestly never got into it. When Hello Kitty first came out, I was a little younger and when I was younger, I hated anything girly. I didn't like frilly dresses, anything pink or even to brush my hair (embarrasssssssingggg.) I just don't really care for dolls or that big "cute" cat face. I don't even care for real cats. And the big bow? Please. Blech.

See you tomorrow, promise!

Day 2 - Meaning behind your blog name...

Okay so my blog was originally called "Beauty in a Boy's World" hence the URL. I had that name because 90% of my coworkers are male and I somehow still got involved with all this makeup and beauty talk. But when I decided to change my blog to a more general one, I changed the name to Always a New Beginning...because I believe in fresh starts and my blog was getting it's own new beginning as well.

I might as well take this opportunity to explain my YouTube user name as well. EP3074 was the name I didn't want to be remembered by but I was so excited to make my first video that I uploaded it before making a new account. I really really wish YouTube would let you change names but they don't. They should work on that. You can change names anywhere else, MySpace, Twitter, Facebook. I don't understand. You can only get a new user name if you open a new account. I got this name from work, actually. It's my computer log in for my email and to clock in and out. Blah...


See you tomorrow!

Day 10: One Person You Trust

Easy. My Mom.

Wow, I'm done with the 10 day challenge. I made it? Yes, I answered every question, every day. Go me!

I have a few new post ideas coming up. New video will be up either Saturday or Sunday, I'll have my camera back. I have to record a couple reviews on new products, the first video of a new series called "The Wonderful World Of..." and of course, my 100 subscriber giveaway video!

You'll be hearing from me soon!

Love,
Liz
