When I
first started this blog, about 8 months ago, I did it with the intention to
provide more information to beauty lovers here in my home country of Trinidad
& Tobago and maybe the Caribbean at large. But now I love meeting new
persons from all over the world. It always amazes me when I get an email or
comment from anyone.
Another
reason for starting my blog was Temptalia. I
stumbled on her website about a year ago and was indeed impressed at her
dedication to her blog with providing her audience with in-depth reviews. I am
nowhere near her about 5-6 blog posts a day but she gives me inspiration to
reach for the stars.
Another
way she inspired me was with her challenges. Recently she held a spring nail art challenge and I entered my Flower Fields design and then she featured a spring makeup challenge
and I entered my Soft lily look. Both were
featured on her site and I couldn’t be more thrilled to see my work there!
What
makes me even more excited is the fact that I incorporated locally made makeup
and nail polish in my designs. The Soft Lily look used eyeshadows from Ambrosia Cosmetics and my Flower field nail art used Nail Fusion stripper polish made by
Sacha Cosmetics. What a way to put a small country on the map! I really feel
accomplished and when I had writer’s block or nothing new to review, there was
always some piece of my home country to spur me on.
I do
want to also thank my readers whose little comments make a big difference in my
life and give me more encouragement to do better. And all those blog awards! What
can I say! I’m speechless.
So are
you up for a challenge! Temptalia has a new challenge on Disney nail art.
I’m sticking this one out to allow you to submit your work, be featured and get
inspired to do better.
Thanks
for sharing this beautiful journey with me so far. I look forward to continuing
on with you!
Happy Journeying!
XOXO
Naomi
