No review..random rant...

Hello all my lovely readers

  Once again I have been M.I.A and I apologize. The only reason I can offer up is that the past two weeks have been CRAY CRAY! I mean totally nuts...I will spare you the details but ya..just psycho. Also, we are STILL looking for a house so we can move..my husband is now commuting 75 miles one way each day. Ugh..

  So my random rant is on stereotypes. Basically this: No matter what race you are, how much money you have or where you are from; DO NOT make assumptions about people who aren't the "same" as you.

  What happened that made me so.."Oh no you di'ent" that I needed to fly my rebel flag and blog about it? Well I'll tell you.. I just finished watching a video from one of my (not any more) favorite YouTube gurus, and in this video, the person made the assumption that people from the country wouldn't know the difference between a stripper and a Go-Go dancer.

 *Triple take* Uh, 'scuse me??? WTF? Really???

  I am from the country..yes, cows, tractors, hay bales the whole 40 acres and I know the difference. So do all of my redneck, hillbilly, countrified friends. In actuality, country gals would know MORE about the difference between a stripper and a go-go dancer because we wouldn't be caught dead in a cage dancin'. If it ain't got a pole, sawdust on the floor or a Wranglers on, we ain't dancin' in it, on it or with it!!

  Now, as I was (now) formerly a subscriber to this person, I always felt they were a bit..well, for lack of a better phrase; deprived of oxygen at birth. But I didn't want to make the assumption that they were a ditz, maybe they were just a little nervous in front of the camera.

  Nope, I was right..that's a country girl's intuition fer yuh!

  Seriously people, this totally pissed me off!! The video was supposed to be about fitness and confidence and  out this person's mouth came this crap. I actually flipped my computer monitor the bird.

  So yeah. All I'm saying is just don't say things about people that are "different" from you. You may be quick to point out that people don't know you or your life..well that's a two lane road right there.

  I know this has nothing to do with beauty reviews and I apologize, but I just had to get up on my tailgate speak my piece.

Y'all come back now yuh herrr!

What's been going on/ YouTube Beauty Guru Review update

Hello my dear readers!


LIKE MY NEW CHANNEL IMAGE?


  So there isn't a review today, just a quick catch up on the shenanigans and goings on in my life this past week.

WARNING: If you are sensitive and/or can not deal with injured animals, please skip to the next section..

  As some of you may know that follow me on Twitter and/or are a Facebook friend, you know what's been going on. For the  rest of you, here we go..
 Last Thursday, my dog of 9 years was attacked and fatally wounded by our neighbors dog. Note: our neighbors are family. I will spare the gory details, but needless to say, I thought my poor Blues Clues was dead. I took him from the scene of the attack to my step-father (who is no longer with my mother, but lives on the property...I know..my family tree is a gnarled and somewhat askew) and proceeded to get the rest of my dogs to safety. During that time, Blues Clues in his state of shock, ran off and hid. We searched all day for him and couldn't find him. Lo and behold, the next morning, he was at our back door. I contacted my neighbor and they, at first, agreed to paying the vet bill, as long as we took them to their vet. Well, their vet never called back. So we had to take him to our vet. Now, although I firmly believe that the perp of this attack should be gotten rid of or put to sleep (please don't freak, the animal has tasted blood and will attack again, it's a proven fact) I left that decision to the neighbors. WELL....

After finding that out we were going to have to take our dog to a different vet, the neighbors changed their tune, saying the would only cover a couple hundred dollars, that they can't be sure Blue wasn't hit by a car and their dog found him after; never mind that I saw the attack, as it happened right outside my window. But my word wasn't enough. Meanwhile, I realized my pet's injuries were fatal and he needed to be put to sleep. Side Note: I am a severe asthmatic and have an anxiety disorder, this situation sent me to the hospital via ambulance with a severe asthma attack. Finally took my dog to the vet to have the procedure done. It really was the most humane thing to do. When the vet asked what happened, I lied to him and told him coyotes attacked his, as we live in the country and coyotes WILL come into our yard. I did this so animal control would not take the decision of what to do about the perp out of our neighbors hands. What did I gain from this? Not a damn thing!! The neighbors still refuse to believe their animal did this, called me a liar to my face and now there is a Hatfield and McCoy situation on our road. Our whole immediate family lives on one road.

So there is that...

NEXT SECTION

During all of this, my husband found out he will be taking over a store about 45 miles north of where we live, so this means relocation for us.  Which, in light of recent events, we are not opposed to. Plus, we would really like to get away from the town we live in and kind of start new. So we have been house hunting, which is kind of fun, but exhausting at the same time. Anyone who has been through this knows exactly what I am talking about. Our main problem is we don't know the area very well, and it's hard to know which areas are good, which ones are okay and which ones are OH HELL NO!!

To top it off, my daughter hit puberty..ya know what I'm saying? Her poor brother doesn't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt (Thank you Steel Magnolias)

And then there is that..

On to the Youtube Makeup Beauty Guru Reviews:

First, I want to say that I will review the more popular Gurus at a later time. Most people that watch YouTube makeup tutorials will more than likely have seen the ones I am talking about:

Robert Jones
Wayne Goss
Pixiwoo
Tanya Burr
MakeUp Geek
It's Judy Time
Lisa Eldridge
Kandee Johnson
Vintage or Tacky
Petrilude
Michelle Phan
Xsparkage
MissChevious
Goldie Starling
Makeup by Tiffany D

This is a small list of the really popular gurus. In the YouTube beauty community, these people are household names pretty much. So I really wanted to focus on the ones that are established, but still have a growing audience. (Not that the others don't..but you know what I mean.)

So here is the list of people I will be reviewing, in no particular order, not even alphabetical..

TwishyCareastar
ThatGirlShaeXO
TheMakeUpChair
Sarah Victor
Panacea81
Makeup By Ali
Casey Holmes
The Beauty Vault
CiaobellaXO
Beauty Crush
Jlovesmac1
R Pierced Makeup
Carlibel55
Jaclynhill1
Samantha Schurman

What I am going to do is try and contact these gurus and see if I can conduct a sort of "interview" by email. As (if) they reply, I will do the review. This will help to show no reflection on popularity or preference. I have a few people on my list that I will contact if any of the above do not respond.

I have about 5 people that are kind of a "backup" if someone doesn't reply. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to let me know. I must say that I have really enjoyed discovering new gurus based on the suggestions from my twitter friends and facebook friends, and I am looking to discovering more!!


Until next time everyone..
XOXO
Elizabeth

Quick updates and info




No, no, my dear readers, I am not missing in action again. This past week has been stressful, disappointing, irritating and the start of some new things.

  First the bad stuff :/ Well the only vehicle we have, broke down on my husband's commute home and had to have it towed. Found what was wrong (fuel pump) which is generally an easy fix, but as my husband and I were dropping the fuel tank (yes ME!!) the fuel line snapped. So we had to order it from local parts store the day before Easter. However, the guy behind the counter failed to tell my husband that having the part shipped to out house instead of the store takes an extra day or two. So yesterday, I suffered all day with a migraine, not being able to sleep in case I miss the Fed Ex truck. When my husband got home and the part still hadn't arrived, he called the store and that's when we found out about the shipping. Mind you, last week was my husband's first week at his new job. Luckily, his boss is someone he had worked for in the past, and gave him Friday through Monday off to get the truck fixed. Well, here it is Wednesday, and still waiting on the part. Luckily my in-laws were willing to reschedule appointments and be without a car for a few days so my husband could get to work. So, Thanks Mom and Dad. There's more, but it's trivial so I will move on...

  Now the new stuff!!

  I decided to REALLY get myself and my makeup artistry out there in social media. So, even though I had a YouTube channel, I started a new one. I started a new one with my business name, well, sort of. Someone already had the name so I had to fudge the spelling in the user name for the URL, but the channel has the correct spelling. I feel the need to mention this because really, is anyone going to take a business seriously with a misspelled name? No, I don't think so. And there you have it..I know how to spell. LOL.

  Another reason I chose to create another channel was because on my old channel, I did not feel like I was myself in the videos and tutorials. I just wasn't comfortable in front of the camera. To an extent I'm still not, but I have relaxed a lot. I haven't deleted my old channel; I am thinking of making it a vlog channel, but at this point I am not sure.

  I have so many ideas for my new channel, so many in fact, that I've had to start keeping a pen and notebook near me at all times!

  So here it is:




                            


Now, being that my channel is linked to this blog, when I upload a video I will post it here. The main reason for that is because sometimes I will need to post inspiration pictures and can not do that on YouTube because of copyrights and such. But I will continue to post product reviews here, as that is what I started this blog for! So, just consider it a bonus to have videos posted here too :)

If you are curious as to my uploading schedule, well, I don't really have one. I know a  lot of people upload every other day or everyday or once a week. This is my plan (but I can't make any promises) One day a week I will film the tutorials/videos I want to post for that week. Edit and then upload them and set them to publish on certain days of that week.

I am going to try to do the same thing for this blog. I have a list of reviews to write about for you guys, that still need to be wrote. So, one day a week I will (READ: TRY) try to write 5 blogs and schedule them for the week.

There. Now I feel better; I have y'all up to speed! So, again, I am sorry for having fallen behind this past week. It is definitely NOT that y'all aren't important to me, just that sometimes life gets in the way..simple as that. As always, I welcome any comments, questions and responses. I just ask that you be respectful. I say this because I have read countless blogs where people leave the nastiest comments. I personally don't care, but y'all shouldn't have to read that stuff. So I just ask to check the nastiness at the door.

Okay guys, thanks for baring with me this past week and I will talk to y'all again soon!
XOXO
