I'm Back | Life Changes

    Oh hey! Was I gone for years? Yes, yes I was. I needed a break from blogging and I also became too busy with work so I never had time to blog. So what has changed in my life?

I moved from Pennsylvania to South Carolina five years ago. 

    My brother and his wife moved to SC and when they were expecting my first nephew they asked if I would move to work as his nanny so they had someone they trusted watching him. It was also the height of the pandemic so obviously they didn't want to send him to daycare when they had to return to work. My parents and sister eventually moved down too. And my sister finished high school here. My second nephew was born about two years ago. So watching two very active boys you can imagine how busy I have been. 

I found a job I love.

    I was looking for part time work when I saw my now manager looking for bridal stylists in the local Facebook page. I immediately sent my resume and shortly after I received a message requesting I come in the next day for an interview. It was the easiest interview I've ever had. A few days later I got a text saying I had the job and could start that Saturday. I've worked there now for over two years and I absolutely love it. My goal is to work there full time once I'm no longer watching my nephews. I always wanted to work in the wedding industry thanks to The Wedding Planner and Say Yes to the Dress. 

I came out

    I struggled for years, but at 27 I came out as Asexual. I didn't understand the importance of being able to come out until I was the one coming out. I needed my family to know and understand that I was still the Kara they knew and loved but relationships are different for me. 

I want to open an Etsy shop

    I've been getting back into art. Especially now as my work load is lightening up. I have more time to work on it and obviously the blog. But I would love to try opening an Etsy shop so I can sell stickers and prints of my art. I've wanted to do it for a while but I feel major imposter syndrome. So I'm just going to do it and figure it out as I go!

So what's my plan with the blog?

    I'm definitely going to blog about beauty related topics still but I want to talk about other things. I would love to talk about wedding dresses, art, nails, sourdough starters, going gluten free. Honestly anything that interests me and I probably have ADHD so there are a LOT of topics that I'm interested in. I'm going to try to post on Fridays. But this is going up Saturday since I am off today. I hope you stick around and enjoy what's to come!
