Sunday my chill day

So today is a lazy day. I did alot of videos this past week/weekend because I felt I was totally behind on my channel!

And as I sit here and wait for Joe to finish downloading Weeds Season 5, episode 1...I realized how behind I am in my blog. :-/

Is it sad it is almost easier for me to make and edit a video, verses sitting down and writing out my thoughts about my day. My videos, particular products? ha ha, I think it is just laziness. I put so much effort into doing my videos, and then i just totally don't want to do anything else.

I think, though, I have decided that Sundays I will no longer make videos and use it as a catch up day. I can do stuff around the house, because sometimes the week goes by so fast, I get behind in wifey duties. As well as catch up on my blog too! And this blog is pretty much only for myself anyways, so I can rant and rave about things and I don't really think anyone else will notice! ha ha.

Though HUGE thanks to my "stalkers" aka my followers on here. I truly appreciate you guys taking the time to randomly check out my blog. I promise, I will be more regular on here!

Overall, this weekend has been GORGEOUS here in Germany!!! I can proudly say we are having some Spring weather, which means when I got back to the states in May I will prolly miss out on alot of sunshine (and rain).

I can't wait til summer, just because of all the different festivals that go on. Seriously, Europe becomes alive in Spring and is the popping place to be in Summer :)

Total other note, I'm a bit nervous to go home. A decent amount of people back home know about my channel (and have been requesting) me to do their make up when I'm there. And as much as I want to help them out, because I'm nice like that. I have a feeling, I'm going to try to shy away from it as much as I can.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT LO?

Simple, I know how to do make up on my own face. Apparently I have gotten alot better at it (yay), but I'm not use to other faces, skins, eyes, lips, etc. Plus I also won't have all my amazing collection with me to play with either. I think that as well as my choices of colors to use on people would be alot different than what they think looks good on them (if that makes any sense).

Perhaps while I know a person could pull off some bright blue or green, they steer away from it because they prefer (or always have worn) neutral colors or very basic make up. I would just hate to do a bunch of work (and use my products) on someone for them to turn around and hate it!

Update & Rant about 1st winter in Germany

I am so behind on blogging, for some odd reason when it comes to sitting down to write. I always seem to find an excuse to do something else (which has mostly been cruising Youtube , but that is besides the point).

At the current moment I have 12 videos on my YouTube Channel, and as of February 3^rd 28 subscribers (woot, another 22 and I will do another contest), and 7 friends. And this will sound pretty lame, but these numbers make me really happy J Considering I just started doing videos on January 8^th, so thank you!!! I only hope to be as talented as so many other make up junkies !!!

Now why would me, a pretty outgoing, spontaneous person want to do a YouTube channel? Pretty much it's a creative outlet for me while we (my hunny and me) are stationed here in Europe.

And yes I know, the next question you would ask, but Lo you are in Europe, what are you doing home making videos and blogging? Well mis bonitas this 1st winter here has been extremely rough, and the groundhog saw his shadow on the 2nd, so it means another 6 weeks of this stuff!

Like no joke, this past week to weekend, we overall received 15 inches of snow! Now, Germans are more prepared for this, but this Southern California girl didn't know what to do with herself! For reals, I never had to deal with driving around in snow. The only thing I ever had to worry about was if I had sunblock packed somewhere in a bag. Or figuring out a safe spot to hide any munchies away from evil seagulls. Who would've thought that I would have to deal with this?

Yes, it's beautiful. And yes, it's pretty sweet to go sledding down the hill behind our backyard. Or to make snowangels and snowmen.

What drives me batty, is that Germany is having a SALT shortage?! Did I say salt? Yes I said SALT!!! It has gotten to the point where the smaller towns/villages (which our town is included in this one) do not salt the roads through the town. They plow, so dodging piles of snow is always fun! NOT! They will salt one side of the Autobahn (which is the freeway here) and yes, it's true. There is no speed limit!

I know I know, it comes off like I'm complaining and being super pessimistic. I do like being here in Germany, I mean who doesn't love Europe. This is an opportunity I will not let pass me by, I just wish it was spring already. With constantly having to call base (to verify what color road condition we are in) or check the weather on the internet it overall makes it very difficult to travel. Like yesterday I had the day off from work and I wanted to go to the gym, I figured I should call and make sure that it was open. Good thing I did, they had gotten the call from the Commander to close down for the day. Oh I bet y'all are wondering what some of the military stuff I will more than likely rant about. So I will make sure to inform you as I blog. Wouldn't want you to roll your eyes and go "Lo is talking crazy. She really needs to get out more often!"

Explanation of Road Condition Status for Civilians (Non-Military Personals)

Doesn't that seem like a bunch of Gibberish?? I mean, seriously I have been a military dependent for 23 years! My pops was a Marine, and the hunny is Air Force, but I still for the life of me don't get their talk. I'm like "Babe, speak English!" I love him, but really sometimes...

Anywho that's that for my 1st rant about my 1st winter in Germany. I promise next blog will be something much more interesting, perhaps a review on the Coastal Scents brushes I got last week.
