Walmart Beauty Box | Spring 2017 Trendsetter

COMING OUT (no, not THAT "coming out"), not that there's anything wrong with that.

Hello there, it's me.  Remember me, Alex?  I barely do.  Long intro short, I want to occasionally use my blog again & base it on lifestyle & of course beauty.  I guess this post could be considered under the "lifestyle" category.

 

Disclaimer-I'm going to keep it simple, real, & unedited as possible on this blog.  Just sort of freestyle writing.  To some it may be annoying, but for me it's intent is authenticity, the mission for this blog.

So "Coming Out" as the title states.  I'm coming out to you as depressed.  Soooo so so so so depressed.  It hurts mentally & physically-yes physically who knew (I didn't).  Along with depression comes other problems.  One for me has been eating.  I even sleep eat sometimes to "comfort" myself, but we all know that doesn't work.

Depression has held me back from so much as those of you may know who have this illness.  I'm bringing this to your attention because it's keeping me from being productive in many ways, one of which is creating & posting for you guys on my youtube channel.  

I look back at some of my older videos on lipstickbabydoll & I want to cry.  I had it then, but it wasn't as severe & I was having fun, enjoying it, being creative & just excited.  

I have stuff sitting around my room waiting to be filmed, but it sits & sits & collects dust...sort of like me.  

I won't ramble on too long, I will post more in the future, but wanted to get it out there.  I enjoy youtube & the joy I get from interacting & sharing with you.  But it's not for lack of interest, it's just a crippling grip on me right now.  

Share with me if you have a similar situation, if you can relate, what you do to cope?  I'd love to chat.  Thanks for listening & talk to you later

xo, Alex

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.
