I am obsessed (like many other female online folk) with watching beauty and fashions videos on youtube and reading about opinions and advice on blogs. I find the whole process of watching each person going through their established routines, and applying make up quite fascinating. It seems odd to think that watching something like a "Get Ready With Me" video is so intriguing, and gains so many viewers, and yet, they are.
The above picture also contributes to a study done that talks about how youtube has changed the way the beauty market is being seen. Not that I know much about this, but it seems that the way in which this trend is going, is a true sign of the times, where everyday people can make money doing things they truly love, with the resources that are available in this day and age. I find this incredibly intriguing.
Beauty and fashion are things that I wish to be good at, but I just haven't grown up with a sense of my own personal style. I suppose I haven't actively made beauty or fashion a priority in my life. And after having children, working and studying, things like beauty and fashion get pushed far down the priority scale, perhaps not by choice, but mainly because time can be of the essence when raising children, and once both your children are sleeping, the natural inclination is to sleep yourself, since you're knackered pretty much all the time.
I suppose a goal of mine this year is to actively try and make these things a priority in my life, not in a selfish way, but as a chance to have something for myself away from all the other priorities in my life. Many people say that it is important to have something for yourself, and I can agree because it gives you more drive to get through each day, even with screaming children in your ear.
Speaking of screaming children, my time is up, as I can hear one going for it in the other room.
