For starters, hello, my name is Kirsten and I'm your not-so-average 19 year old. I am currently living in coastal North Carolina with my high school sweetheart Brian and we've been together a little over 3 and a half years. I work part-time as a barista inside a Barne's and Noble and in the fall I will also be a part-time student studying to be a Psychology major. I'm a military dependent (brat) so I've lived many different places and I like to think I'm a wee bit cultured in that sense. I'm a beauty vlogger on YouTube with 30,000+ (I know, it's still insane to me) subscribers whom I appreciate dearly. Oh, and another thing, I just found out that Brian and I are expecting a baby early in 2015!
The main reason I wanted to start a blog was because I wanted to document my journey and share my experiences with everyone in a different outlet other than videos. Sometimes it's fun to sit down and talk to a camera about my life, or share my favorite mascara. But for the most part, I really enjoy not getting all done up for the day just to film a video, but rather sit down and type out my thoughts. This blog will be perfect for expressing everything I want to share and more without the whole filming, editing, uploading, etc. process.
So to what I want this blog to be for me, and for you of course:
1. First and foremost I want to do many baby posts, going from weekly updates, doctors appointments, photos, purchases, and of course many exciting things once our little one arrives.
2. Brian and I just signed a lease on our own apartment so when we move in on July 20th, I want to do many home posts as well. Posts such as decorating, organization, diy's, etc.
3. I'm also a huge lover of all holiday's and special events, so I want to do posts that revolve around that as well. How I've decorated, how we celebrated, etc.
4. Although my blog name is Trading Mascara for Mommyhood, I'm still a bit of a beauty product junkie. Having worked at Sephora for a year only made me crazier for new products. So occasionally I might post a few things related to beauty items as well.
5. Last, but maybe not least, I want to try and fit in some food posts as well. For those of you that know me, you know I am not the greatest cook or baker, but I would love to become one! I would love to share recipes with you all and baking ideas. Things that I probably won't be good at, but it'll be fun to experiment and try.
With all that being said, I hope you stick around for a bit. Click that follow button and experience this crazy journey that's ahead for me. I can't wait to share everything with you guys as well! If you have any questions or need to get into contact with me at all, I'm a huge social media addict so feel free to get ahold of me in any of the following ways:
