My head is so far removed from the ideas of sponsorships and influencers that I hadn't realized that I inadvertently signed up to be one, albeit I was hardly active. I even got the badge that tells me I'm one. 😐

BBA Musings # 2 – Online Browsing is the New Window Shopping
Window shopping used to be a pastime reserved for trips to the mall or as a means of detaching yourself from the routine of every day - but with the advent of the Internet, we've now turned to a new window - a strictly electronic version of whatever browser we use.
So much for shutting down…
So my pops had an emergency surgery recently, which was quite scary in the sense that it was definitely unplanned and very necessary. In all the chaos that followed, I haven't filmed. And the clusterfuck that tagged behind has me reconsidering the plan to shut down the YT channel.
One Trick Pony
Or the reality of burnout in a super-saturated industry. I stopped keeping up with the latest-and-greatest releases in makeup. Even skincare. I'm tired and I just don't care anymore. Edit # 2: After some tinkering, here is the GIF that should have been here in the first place: One (if not THE NUMBER ONE) unspoken …
BAFT: Long-Wear Makeup
One interesting trait that I've noticed as of late is the industrial standard claim of "long-wearing" or "long-wear" makeup. As in, the makeup lasts so long, I don't need to bring my makeup kit for touch ups. It sounds convenient at first - I wouldn't have to worry about checking myself with my compact mirror …
Choosing Platforms: YouTube vs Blogging

Jelly
Today's mood is me being irrationally jelly. Of people in the mall who walk around with Sephora bags. No doubt they are happy with scoring something from the store. Or maybe they finally got the chance to get a gift for someone else. There will always be that air of mystery surrounding those black-and-white striped …
Breather.
Hello, Beautiful Blossoms. Yes, it's me. And no, the site is not dead. It's just that so much has happened these past few months that it would be much simpler to list them in bullet points: New place but no steady Internet. Fender bender that's costing me quite the pretty penny. New job has me …
Life Update Part 2
So I decided to give the good ol' site a browse from an outside perspective and I noticed that I wrote an entry that had Part 1. I remember writing that title because there was going to be Part 2. And I intended to write Part 2 but when life sent me on a tide, …
