Allie UV Perfect Gel,<\/a> which many have also tried, and also love (whew!) \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n\n\n\nBut that’s just it. I’m a blogger and an enthusiast. I’m not an expert. I try a product, and I share an opinion about it. It’s what I’ve been doing for 14 years! You agree with me? Yay! You don’t? Well, you’re entitled to your opinion \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When blogging first took off, just about 14 odd years ago, many of us lamented that we had to be writers, models, photographers, and publishers. Today, you have to be all that, AND be an actor, artist, interior designer, makeup artist, dancer, comedian, producer, director, lead a glamourous life; AND be on YouTube, Instagram, and Tiktok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s hard to find a place where I fit in anymore haha \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 14 years, many original bloggers have either gone on to make big things of themselves, launching their own product lines, becoming rich and famous and taking on a celebrity persona; or they’ve quietly quit blogging. For me, it feels like I’m just drifting in the flow, taking the slow meandering waterways, instead of riding the wild rapids and pushing myself forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe slow is good. It lets you take in the sights and sounds and maybe even day-dream a little while you trail your fingers in the warm water \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I appreciate that so many of you have grown up with me, and still chat to me. So many of your names and handles are so familiar, it feels like we’re old friends \ud83d\ude42 I appreciate the handful of brands who still update me with their new products and releases, and put their trust in my views, despite my tardiness in getting the news out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like old friends, I guess this is how it’ll be going forth. I’ll update when I update, and we’ll hopefully be able to pick up from where we last left off, without missing a beat \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14 years. I can scarcely believe it’s been this long \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you for talking to me, for appreciating what I do, for reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
xoxo<\/p>\n\n\n\n
