Can you believe we're already heading into March?

Winter here in West Virginia hasn't been too awful-- save for that two-foot of snow we got a while back-- but I am still super excited to see the signs of Spring appearing. Today I am sitting out on my front porch enjoying the sunshine and almost 70º temperatures. It's gorgeous. I know I talk about the weather a lot in my Life Lately posts, but that is because I think the state of the weather directly impacts our moods and emotions.

Maybe it is because I was born in the heart of the summer, or maybe it is because I'm a Leo, but I feel my best when the sun is shining.

On another note, I've got a few new ideas for this blog rolling around in my head. I've been seeing slow but steady growth in the last few months-- thank you, by the way, for reading and engaging with my posts. I'm still trying to stick to a steady schedule while maintaining my 'regular' career and doing various side projects and, eventually, I would like to post more often. That might be something that happens a little further down the road, though, so I would like to start doing something that will help grow this blog and provide something special to those of you who have been with me for a while.

Long story short, would anyone be interested in a weekly or bi-weekly newsletter? I would share some of my favorite blog posts from the past week, other interesting bits and bobs from the World Wide Web, my favorite beauty product of the week and a recap of the last week's posts. I would also try to share some exclusive goodies: wallpapers, graphics, and free-to-use photos from myself and other sources.

I'd love to stay and chat, but the weather is too beautiful to be stuck looking at an electronic screen. my pasty white legs and I are going to go enjoy this sunshine while it lasts!

Over at Two Thirds Hazel, Erin has thought up another installment of the Blogmopolitan quiz for all of us bloggers. It is a great way to get to know the bloggers you follow and, if you go here, you can see all of the other wonderful bloggers who have taken this quiz and find some new ones to follow! Or you can just be nosy and read their answers. That's sort of acceptable, too (and definitely something I'll be doing).

The lovely Erin over at Two Thirds Hazel came up with this lovely survey for us bloggers inspired by the celebrity questionnaire in Cosmopolitan magazine! It was right up my alley as a small-time blog as it is a nice way for my readers to get to know me without being too trite, right?

If you would like to fill out the survey for yourself, you can go over to Two Thirds Hazel and download it here!

Ah, Sunday. Technically it's the beginning of a new week. To me, every new week is a fresh start and I personally crave fresh starts. I am a constantly changing human being in every way imaginable and, as I sit on my front porch drinking a cuppa coffee and typing away on my little blog, I find myself thinking about how my blog has changed.

I've only had my blog for a little over a year and, let's be honest, it hasn't gone exactly how I'd planned. When I started this blog, I expected to update all of the time. I love makeup and talking about makeup and what better place to do that than on the internet? And, yet, I found my posts to be few and far between. At times it even felt like a chore-- which seems silly because, with not very many followers, I could have packed up and left at any time.

But something kept me coming back and this summer I have discovered so many amazing blogs that I've fallen in love with. The crazy thing? None of them are makeup blogs. They are personal blogs, photography blog, body positive blogs, feminist blogs, home decor blogs... All of them have been absolutely inspiring.

So, as you may have noticed, my blogging habits have changed a bit. While I still love makeup, and talking about it, I've been posting more 'personal' posts about random things that have been on my mind. Random ideas for blog posts will pop into my head here and there. It's amazing and exciting and makes me realize how much I truly do love blogging. I guess the moral of this blog post is:

I will never be able to blog about just one thing.

So if this disappoints you, if you thought this would just be a makeup blog, I understand if you leave. But I hope you want to stay and witness my blogging journey. I'll still be posting makeup hauls and reviews-- maybe I'll start a Makeup Monday?-- but there will also be, perhaps, a Whatever Wednesday and a Fashion Friday or a Book Talk Tuesday. I can't make many promises, what with classes and a job starting in two weeks (ahh, scary!), but I can promise to stick with this blog.

I hope you'll stick with me, too!
