Hey all -
I know, I know! I've been neglecting you guys AND this fabulous beauty/life blog. Unfortunately, sometimes too much 'life' happens, and that makes it impossible to even find time to write about it.
These past few months have been rough.
1. I'm back in school, which is great but also SO challenging. I'm busting my butt hoping things work out for me, but Anatomy & Physiology is NO JOKE. For real.
2. This small country town that I spend my days in has seen its fair share of tragedy recently. My very close circle of friends and family has been hit by both a murder and a suicide during these rainy past few weeks. It's rather Earth-shaking to see how fast your world can change by another persons' hand.
3. My baby-girl Luna was hit by a car this month and passed away...a very traumatizing experience for me and the boyfriend. She was my best friend and like our child, and our lives have been a lonely struggle for the past week or two. Every day is a little easier, and every day I smile a little wider when I think of her - trying to remember to smile for the memories we had rather than cry for the ones I long for.
I guess fall is the season of transition, but I never thought I would be pushed into so many changes and tribulations all at once. We may be moving in the coming months - potentially to a new town & a new start. It's scary but also SO exciting. I'm trying to look towards the positive that's coming out of all these hardships...so I'm crossing my fingers and trying to take a leap of faith!

So what does that mean for Sprouting Moon?
Oh, I'm here to stay, baby. Although the holidays are coming up and life is about to get even crazier, I've always loved having this outlet to share my life with my readers, little by little. You guys & your nice messages and requests and emails...you're the best, really.
I've got some awesome stuff coming up!
I've got some awesome stuff coming up!
- Erin Chondren Life Planner Review : I got my life planner 2 weeks ago and I am in love. I've never had a more functional or organized planner. Can't wait to share with you!
- Makeup from Down Under : I'm doing a makeup & beauty swap with a lovely Aussie who agreed to hook me up. This is killing my wallet...but that's just making it more fun (: I don't even know what I'm getting yet, but come mid-December I'll share it all with you while I unbox & review the items. I'm giddy just thinking about it!
- Product Reviews : I've gotten to try some really great products over the past months I've been away - everything from MUFE to Wet n' Wild so I've got stuff to share for every budget.
- Tutorials : I've gotten a few requests to do some eye tutorials w/ winged liner and some different shadow styles. Depending on the interest I get on this in oncoming weeks, I may get some videos out to you guys. Stay tuned (:
- Life is Happening : Guys, my life is changing pretty quick right now - maybe for better, maybe for worse. I guess you'll get to find out with me! Life posts are not limited to but may include : moving, holiday recipes, closet organization, adventures in my backyard (the PNW), new furry friends, and 'When the #@*$ did it get this cold out?"
