Pregnancy will make you think you're crazy.

This will be my 3rd pregnancy and I swear, I feel/act like I've never been through this before. When they say every pregnancy is different.. IT'S TRUE. I go absolutely insane with these food cravings, rummaging through my closet to find something that fits besides my yoga pants, peeing every second of my life and of course, the emotions/hormones. The other night I swear I felt something trickle out of me, I instantly thought it was amniotic fluid. I called the doctor on call and he told me to rush in. Here we are, sitting in the L&D room totally nervous not knowing what was going on. Thankfully it was nothing, how embarassing right? Wrong! If you're pregnant and think something is wrong, instantly call your doctor or go in, that's what they are for. I mean, what if it was something and I were to just brush it off? If my water were to break at this time I have no idea what would happen. I mean, i'm only 20 weeks. It's not like they can replace my amniotic fluid! During our visit, they tested to see if it was fluid or anything like that, and they checked the baby through an ultrasound, she was squirming around, and yes, shes still a girl! Pregnancy is a crazy thing and it's amazing what a womans body can actually do!

Anyways, my husband wants a total of 4 kids, I don't know if  I want to go through this again.. If only guys can feel our pain!

Inspirations.

Today my good friends and I attended IMATS (International makeup artist trade show) and it was awesome, all those years I've missed! I loved seeing all the makeup artists and people walking around, and so many venders! The highlight of the day was Kandee Johnson, we waited in line for about 2 hours just to see her (sounds kind of ridiculous) she is very inspiring and it's amazing to see how many girls look up to her. She was telling us her story and how she got started in the makeup industry and how she started in beauty school and hated doing hair, she mentioned in beauty school she would have like a million makeup applications and nothing for hair, it made me laugh to myself because that's exactly how I was. She also mentioned about bullying and people are going to say mean things, to just ignore them and move on, I can't stress enough how much it irritates me when people are so judgemental and rude, and how easily feelings can be hurt. My point is, people are going to be what they are, and theirs no point in trying to change someone or fight back, just walk away and laugh, just know that you are beautiful and amazing for who you are and those rude people are just haters or jealous. <3

Going to this makeup show and listening to Kandee speak about makeup and how she got started gave me hope again, this business makes me feel like a lost puppy. I have so much creativity and makeup ideas and I can't wait to share them with the world and get back out there, I know it's not going to happen over night but if I work hard I know it will pay off.

Thanks for following my blog!
