Hello! It's been a long time since I've really sat down to think of a post. I've mentioned in some past posts and comments to other people, but I've been really busy with life. I had to take a step back from blogging and focus on work and my personal life.
For the past year, I've held two research assistant positions (one paid and the other unpaid) along with being a full time student with two majors. I also had a job at Ulta for a few months, but had to quit to focus on school. I did not get latin honors like I wanted, but I did end up getting an overall GPA of 3.5 and joined the Anthropology Honor Society! Honestly, I am going to brag and say I'm proud of myself! I worked hard and even graduated a quarter early (but walking the stage on June 12!!!!!).
After finishing in March, I went back to my hometown for 2 weeks and then San Diego for a week to visit my sister and be with my family. It was nice to not worry about school and take a much needed break. Right after getting back to my apartment, I started to seriously job hunt. During February and March, I did look for jobs but most places wanted me to be graduated already so that I could work full time.
In early May, I went back to Northern California for my boyfriend's sister's wedding! It was really small and everything was so beautiful. I loved how intimate and low-key everything was and it gave me a lot of inspirations on what I would want my wedding to be like in the faaaaar future.
I am wearing heels in the above picture and the dress was still too long...
A day before I went back to NorCal, I did have a phone interview AND THEN AN IN PERSON FOLLOW UP INTERVIEW A WEEK LATER. I was so surprised because I feel like I'm horrible at interviews. I ended up getting that job and I couldn't be happier!

Since I've started working, I also started to spend my weekends in San Diego to visit my boyfriend and sister. I'm so nervous during the week since I'm still new at my job and so going away is like a nice mini-vacation for me.
My normal days go from 7:30am - 5:30 pm and so I don't come back until the sun is almost down. I've been trying to take pictures in the few minutes I have before it gets dark, but it's been really hard to take decent shots. I also don't like taking full face shots when I come back because I look so sweaty and tired.
I kind of have some post ideas and I would love to get some feedback on what you would want to read about first!

I hope you're all doing well and sorry for the lack of posts! I can't promise that I'll stick to my normal schedule since of lighting and work, but I do really want to keep up with my blog and the friends I've made here. Talking to you all is really so much fun since a lot of my friends in real life don't really understand my love for makeup.
