Dear friends and readers,
There are times in our life when we must make a choice and even if that choice isn't easy it has to be done, it's called priority.
I have been considering this for a while and now I realize it's time to step down with Makeup'Asylum and regroup. I came into blogging as it being just a hobby, but with time it has become more of a strain.
When you as the reader come in to this you don't see the struggle on the other side of the computer, your only getting to see little high lights of a persons life. You are only reading the words about products that they choose to share with the world, all the while knowing very little about them as a person and the sacrifice they have been going through in order to accomplish a goal that has really gone no where in the six months they have been doing this. I feel that I truly have not found my niche and I do hope others heed my advice do NOT start blogging about anything unless you know it is your long term goal and that you can financially support whatever topic you plan on covering.
I really appreciate some of the beautiful people I have met through networking and I am forever grateful.
I will still occasionally post some thing here and there, but I will no longer be over extending myself trying to meet the demands of the beauty blogger world . I will not be tweeting or Instagraming any longer.
The contest I was holding was going no where so that's a bust and will not be happening.
I thank you to any of you who were ever there from day 1 and have continued to read.
Sending happiness and hugs to all of you

Thank you dear Carly for your support and joining me along my journey. Who knows what the future holds??? Till then stay beautiful;)
DeleteOh no! I am so sad that you are leaving. I know that we were just getting to know each other but I can say I honestly looked forward to your tweets and posts. I had been MIA a lot lately so when I went to add you on my #FF that I posted yesterday I was wondering why in the heck I couldn't find you. I have been catching up on my blog reading today and I am so sad to see this. You are so funny and I really enjoyed talking with you. I understand how you feel though and I have been where you are. I needed a break and I came back with my niche and passion back. Maybe a lifestyle blog would work for you so you can still post about beauty but it not be your main focus. It does get really expensive. I hope to see you back soon girl!
ReplyDeleteHey, BB,
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed so much our fun exchanges on twitter and I will miss your blog presence. I totally understand the desire to move on from blogging so I send you tons of support.
xoxo

Hey Belly,
DeleteThanks for sending me this message. In the very begins of my blogging you were one of the very first people I followed because I always appreciated your candid reviews and real life manor in which you approach the topic of beauty. Thanks for sharing in this time with me, it's been a pleasure sharing blog space with you.
I will still be reading your posts;)
