Begin Again

Hey!

I've often thought about returning to this space, since my last post over 2 years (yes, TWO!) ago.  I began experiencing a bunch of personal life stuff that resulted in me losing my oomph and becoming distracted by the day-to-day goings on, to the point where this outlet lost its luster. It wasn't just this blog, though.  A lot of things that I enjoyed doing like writing poetry (which I've done since I was a child), going out dancing, hanging out with friends, all just didn't move me so all of those things became sporadic. This blog was the newest addition to that list so it was a victim of the "last hired, first fired" rule.  I felt, for a time, that I might not be able to add anything substantive to the beauty blog landscape so I continued to let this space languish. I considered re-branding and a bunch of other things to make it worth the return.  However, I realized that the more I quibbled with myself over a new blog name and whether or not I have a banner or whatever, the more time that was being wasted.  #NoTimeForThat

So, in true Coco fashion, I am beginning again.  My love for beauty hasn't waned and I've nurtured that love by supporting blogs and YouTube channels that reflect my aesthetic and keep me up on game.  However, that hasn't been enough for me lately. I recently had a pretty big birthday and in the year leading up to it, I tweaked a lot of things in my life and experienced a bit of a rebirth.  I'm growing into a better version of myself and the new and improved me loves makeup and stuff just as much as the old me.  This blog will now be about more than makeup and will be a place where I post on anything that floats my boat.  It will still be mostly makeup because that's my boo for life. Just don't be surprised if you see a book recommendation, food/drink/restaurant post, inspirational quote or even some fashion.  All of that is what keeps me going.  Well, that and coffee (Bustelo is EVERYTHING!).  Til next time.....
