Happy New Year! ♥

So it is officially 2010 and I am excited to begin my new year's resolutions...to start a blog and become an active player in my own life rather than a bystander. I have always been a patient girl who believes in foraging the road less traveled if the payoff will be worthwhile in the end. But I'm getting antsy...time to make some moves, make something happen. I am not old, but I'm not getting any younger. It's time to start living this life for me.

So maybe you want to know some basic things about me, and why I started a blog...?

Name's Jill. I'm 23 and habe been living in different areas of Florida for the past three years. I am originally a Jersey girl--and always will be at heart. I go from loving it to hating it desperately, depending on my mood, but one thing I will say is that leaving behind my sister in NJ is probably one of the hardest things I've ever done. She is literally my best friend and the joy of my life, but I'm not sure that she knows it. She recently became a mom so I understand if there isn't room for me to be her favorite anymore, but she will always be mine...

Anyway, I have been working on my Bachelor's degree in fashion merchandising for almost six--yes, SIX!--years now, and I have three more to go. Awesome. I know it's long, but you know what, most people would have quit by now. At least I am still sticking with it, slowly but surely. My soul, heart, passion, and the core of my being belongs to fashion and makeup. Ever since I was a little girl, I have been mesmerized by anything in the genre, from clothing to colors to makeup to photography to celebrities to city life to music.

I firmly believe that everyone, no matter what corner of the globe they are in, has the right to express themself through the way they decorate their bodies and faces without being judged.


I don't know what I specifically want to be when I finally graduate, but I know it will make my heart pound and pulse quicken, as long as I am privileged enough to get work in my field. But, instead of suffering through another three years slaving away at a low-paying job, I plan on getting a certification in makeup artistry so that I can freelance and work around my own schedule. My fashion education is fun but business is still business...makeup allows me to truly express my creativity.

I do love all things artsy. I am a girly girl, but I am not scared to get dirty in the game of life, and I can talk to you in a very frank manner on most topics. I'm somewhat of a nerd (in false eyelashes and Dior lipgloss, of course). I have a very sarcastic, perverse sense of humor. I love architecture, sketching, beautiful colors, inspirational landscapes, photography, and international cultures and languages. I love learning, and I am SO enthused about the joy that fashion and beauty bring to my life. I am humble, but I am confident in saying that whoever hires me someday will thank their lucky stars they did.




I'm Jill--fashion guru, makeup addict, Glamour Junkie--and I'm going places.




Thanks so much for reading my very first blog. Hopefully you'll stick with me because I plan on making it an awesome year...product reviews, fashion photo shoots, my journey through beauty school, makeup tutorials, fun girly things, and all things glam. Stay tuned!
