You Do You

Below is my first Youtube video. I go off on a tangent, so I wanted to fully explain what I wanted to say here.

You do you. It doesn't matter if you are not "good enough", if you feel you don't have everything you need, or even if you feel like you will fail. If you have a passion, DO IT. I have so much fun doing my makeup, and painting my nails. But I look at the beauty gurus and influencers and think that I will never be on their level. That's okay. I don't have the fancy storage, or the best lighting. As a matter of fact, my polish is overflowing the shelving we got to hold it, and my method of sorting my makeup is... labeled ziplocs. For now, that works for me, and saves space that is limited.

It is okay to start small, and build up as you go. No matter what your passion is, there is only one thing not okay (unless it is illegal). The only thing that is not okay is NEVER FOLLOWING YOUR PASSION. Start. It will be hard, but it will be worth it. You only fail if you give up. And sometimes your way won't be clear, or you realize you need to go a different path. That is okay. Just keep pushing, and you will do great things.

I hope you enjoy my video, and look forward to posting more soon. (One day I will have a schedule lol)

Instagramming it up

Recently, I have rediscovered my love of nail polish, as well as started diving into the makeup world. Lemme tell ya, there is a LOT of info, techniques, and different products out there. I like playing with makeup, but my real joy comes from nails.

I have watched so many nail videos, and collected a decent collection of polishes. (It started as 5, and just keeps expanding) They were in a bag, but quickly had to be moved to a bin. Shortly after, there were so many that they destroyed that, and now they are in a cart. Whoops!

I will not be posting any photos of my nail work here. However, If you are interested, my instagram handle is @trishcrusebeauty and you can follow me. I post a new design at least once a week, and plan to start tutorials on Youtube ASAP.

Great Ebates Deal!!!!

This is going to be a quick post, for my Ebates users.

I was made aware of a great deal on Ebates today! For those who don't know, Ebates is a shopping site that gives you cash back. You go to their site, and search for the store you want to shop at. (If you aren't a member yet, sign up here.)

The Deal: Avon of course!!!! You get 4% cash back, as well as $5.95 shipping (shipping is free on orders of $40 or more). Also, there are a ton of extra sales listed that require NO CODE!!!

How to get this deal: First, go to my site and sign up as a customer (This ensures that you don't get thrown to a random rep. I promise, I am amazing lol.) Then, go to Ebates. log in or sign up, and search for Avon. Click shop now, and you're in!

Another great deal: use code WELCOME at checkout to get 20% off of your order (must be $50+). Right now there are two showcase items: the Eye Daydream of Glam Eyeshadow Set and the Pro Makeup Artist Easel. (Buying these two puts you over $50 normally, but right now the set is on sale, so it's $2.02 short of the 20% off. It does put you into free shipping, though!)

Obviously these are two makeup items, but Avon is so much more than that. There's makeup and skin items, but also, household items, clothing, and stuff for the littles as well! Go check it out, and get a great deal or two!
