Hey friends,

Hope everyone is having a great week. It seems like I haven’t posted in a long time. I’m sorry about that. There has been some developments and I would like to share them with you:

1. I’m a full time graduate student. It’s official my dear friends.  I have made the jump and started grad school last week. It’s a little bit intense right now. I’m getting all my books and class materials in order. So far I’ve written so much material that I instantly regret starting. I lie. I know it’s going to be a lot of hard work but it’s going to be worth it. This does mean that my posting schedule is going to change
2. WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY POSTING! Because my classes are a little demanding right now I am going to have to post two days a week. This does not include my snapchat cooking show. I want to make sure that I’m creating content and keep up with school. I think these two days will be great.
3. Ending beauty subscription boxes =( i’m currently subscribed to 4 beauty boxes (Birchbox, Petit Vour, Vegancuts, and Ipsy) I’ve decided to bring it down to two. I’m going to continue with Vegancuts and Birchbox. Since starting grad school i need rethink my finical responsibilities. I’m cutting down on a lot of expense. Also, I’m trying to declutter my life from unnecessary things.
4. NEW SERIES!!! Battle of the Boxes: Normally I would review each box in separate posts and it requires some work. I’ve decided to simplify my life. I will be doing ONE post for both boxes. I will give short review on the boxes and then declare a winner each month. The first post will include the deciding factors.
5. Youtube. I didn’t seek out to make Youtube videos.   Not at all. I never really had the desire to. But my friend told me to upload my videos because she doesn’t have snapchat and I did =) and now we are 5 episodes in.

Now, onto the cooking show =)
