A Very Sweet Blog Turns Six

Happy New Year Everybody! Today is my blog's sixth birthday! Before I discuss my goals for this year, how do you like my new bedding? I purchased it from Nordstrom. I'm sleeping like an angel, because it is as fluffy as a marshmallow. I'm so glad I read the reviews, because it's lighter in person. This beautiful tea set was a gift from Jo of White Roses and Coffee in 2015 from David's Tea. And these cupcakes are from my local grocer Robert Fresh Market. Last year, my only goal (and it was a big one) was to review the rest of the makeup I had in my collection (whether old or new). I completed 99.9% of it. I forgot about six contour palettes, so I will cover them this month. Below are my goals for 2018!

Goals For 2018

1. New Blog Design by Pipdig - I've gotten a head start on this goal! Do things look a little different around here? Pipdig has been on my radar for awhile. I always hear great things. So I went ahead and took the plunge. I chose the Holly & Weave Blogger design. Only $59 you guys! I've paid hundreds in the past! Phil from Pipdig, installed it within two days. I am so pleased with the layout. My blog was definitely in need of a refresh. I still have a lot to add to the design in the next several months, but at least the foundation is here. When I complete it, I will explain all its features.

2. New Profile Picture - This is something else that is long overdue! I've been using Snapchat filters. HaHaHa I promise to take a nice photo for all of my social media.

3. Curate My Makeup On Pinterest - My makeup room is organized and complete (I'm finally working on the video). I started creating boards on Pinterest (they're still hidden) that will show you what's currently in my collection (what I am using, swatches etc.).

4. Beauty Product Inventory - I want to tailor my makeup collection! I am going to compare & contrast highlighters, same color lipsticks, eye shadow palettes and blushes in my collection. Do I have three of the same colors? Can I get rid of something that I really don't need? I am going to be taking inventory.

5. Foundation & Primer Search - I love my Too Faced Born This Way Foundation, Smashbox & Bobbi Brown Primer, but I'm curious about other brands. I've heard great things about Huda Beauty, Lancome, and Giorgio Armani Foundation. I've heard great things about Hourglass No. 28 Primer. My dry skin needs moisture. Anything that gives it, let me try it ;)

6. More Skincare Reviews - I have a list of brands that I want to try! Skincare is HOT! You can have all the makeup in the world, but if your skin is not in tip-top shape nothing will look good.

7. Perfume Reviews - I'm delving back into the perfume arena. I ordered a few over the holidays, so look for reviews starting this week!

8. Runway Fashion - I love keeping up with fashion! I use to post my favorites from each runway show. It will probably take all year to catch up, but it's so rewarding. This will be a long-term goal.

Well I have a lot to do! Let me drink this tea & eat these cupcakes! HaHaHa I will be catching up with your blog posts today. I promise. I want to wish you a dreamy and sweet 2018!
