I recently made the transition into 'big girl' makeup, and I regret nothing. @quiver_ has been a huge help to me and I am forever grateful to have her in my life. I've been doing my own makeup since I was maybe 12? I lived with my Grandmother and she would tell me I looked like a prostitute whenever I snuck behind her back to wear it and was caught. Hahahaha, I love my Grandmother to bits. I've been wanting to write a blog for the longest time, but I never felt comfortable enough to let even remotely close to me - until now? (I think.) I had the perfect idea, I wanted to walk all of you through my life via a picture timeline.

Here goes nothing (or everything)...

If I ever have access to my Grandmothers computer again, I'll be sure to post the REALLY great selfies from this era.

I liked to edit...a lot.

And I was really big into being a hippie.

Then my 'emo/myspace/cool kid' phase hit.

Thankfully there aren't many photos of this phase. They were destroyed along with one of my most influential childhood friendships. (Ooh, nostalgia.)

Blah blah blah a lot of shit happened, I can't even recap on the timeline between these last two photos. So then I got artsy as fuck.

Wait...

For...

It.

It's back again, NOW WITH 100% MORE SCENE.

That winged eyeliner though.

Oh honey, what have you done?

Oh well...that isn't so bad.

A couple of months later, I was at the lowest point in my life in these next photos. I did a lot of soul searching.

I obviously give no fucks about the unspoken pattern rule.

Relevant 3-way kiss because this happened during this period.

So stuff happened and I turned my life around for the good. Goodbye you punk ass kid.

By stuff I mean I went to jail for turning myself in after being on the run for 6 months, and another juvenile charge. Oh, and I was pregnant.

Big girl pants on, I became a mom. Looking back at these picture I miss being blonde sometimes.

I bleached my hair so frequently that I permanently damaged it beyond repair. There's not many photos of my indiscretions.

During this time I knocked 'dye my hair every color possible' off my bucket list. Literally...every color.

Went orange, (this was in...2012?) and I haven't looked back since.

And now I'm here, wherever that is. I have gone through so much over the years, and this is only the beginning - y'know? I am going to be discovering myself all over again for the very first time and I'm anxious. Sometimes I feel like I'm having a mid-life crisis and I'm only 21 for fucks sake.

Anyway, now you know a little bit about me. My challenge for you is to post a blog in the same format, naming it "2014 year of the selfie." Tag me, I want to read it, want to be a part of your life in some way.
