Just a little snippet: bedroom set-up contemplation


  I have been trying to re-arrange my bedroom.  I get restless with things too easily.  Every time I change it, it never seems to feel right.  I think it mainly has to do with how my room is set up i.e. placement of windows, doors, closet.  It doesn't make it easy to place furniture and leaves me with limited possibilities.  I have been contemplating and brainstorming how I can place everything in my room the past few days and it is driving me crazy.
 
   Im think I have figured one out.  It seems a little awkard, but I guess that's what Im stuck with no matter what I do.  On every wall there is either a door or a window...errr.  Oh well, we'll see how it goes.  I also have this "belief" (if you can call it that) in feng shui, so I think how you place your furniture can have an impact on the energy in the room and can affect your aura/mood when you're in that space.  I think if everything is where it needs to be, it has a calming effect and vice versa.
 
   Once I have everything set up, I can start using my room more.  Lately it's just been a  place to plop things.  Also,  I don't make very many youtube videos, I find it hard when I don't have a comfortable set up.  I hope to make more videos once I have my room set up... then I have to move onto the closet.  That's like a horror movie right now.  My closet is an even worse nightmare, but I will put that last.
 
 
 
That's all for now.  Thanks for reading.
 
 
Peace & hair grease.

Late for Work: Hair & Make-Up


Here are some shortcuts that I use in the morning if I've overslept.  This isn't my normal everyday routine, just for those mornings where I only have 10-15 min to get ready.  If I have less than that, then it would have to be a bun/makeup in the car day- not ideal, because I hate having to rush. 
I get dressed very last, spray on perfume, throw on my shoes then grab my purse/keys and that's it!
