So this is me right now. The fucking idiots over at Host Rocket suffered a “catastrophic hardware failure” this morning resulting in “complete data loss”.
AKA my web site is gone.
Totally gone.
SO THAT’S FUCKING AMAZING.
However, thankfully Google Cache is a thing (as my husband has blissfully discovered), and I’m going to start rebuilding all the posts I had on here. This will take a long, painful amount of time but I am totally determined to get everything back up and running. I am totally heartbroken (although less so now that I know my posts are cached somewhere). 🙁
HOLY SHIT… it’s already back. YAAAY!

WOOOHOOOO!
Yay, it’s back!! I’m so, so sorry you had to go through that yesterday. What an absolute nightmare. So glad that things are coming back together- again, let me know if you need anything! xo
Thanks Jen! I’m just glad everyone’s now backing up their own blogs!!!
This is a true CATastrophy. Hilariously though when I was reading this post on my phone cat-astrophic was written like that because it was cut onto two lines and I was like FUNNY CHELLE. So I made the (unintentional?) joke for you. I am so happy you are going to continue to blog because I love your blog forever and always and also you.

Great to see you (and paint your eyes by numbers) back, just forgetting about it was not an option!

So glad to see you’re back already and things are moving forward! You’re a true rock star!
<3 thanks Andy! One thing's for sure... I'll definitely be backing up this time!
Glad to see things are back on the upside. Such a nightmare!

Thanks Sam! Seriously such a nightmare. Ugh.
Wow. I would totally freak out. I’m so glad everything’s working now, though! Are comments on your posts gone forever?
Ingrid recently posted…A Kitty Update
Yeah all the comments are totally gone now. No way to reimport them. 🙁
Dang.
Ingrid recently posted…A Kitty Update
Seriously.
I’m glad that everything is pretty much working out after the initial panic! 🙂
I love your paint by colour style eyeshadow looks!
See you again soon, lady!

Thankfully I can restore it because of Google Cache! Phew! But yeah, that was quite the panic – what a horrible, horrible feeling to know that years of work was just totally destroyed.
yea i saw your post on facebook. OMG HOW F*CKING DEVASTATING!!!!
i remember how i lost the photos from my blog and i was just wrecked. THIS IS A MILLION TIMES WORSE.
hugs from across the internets (and toronto)!!

When I thought there was no hope to recover anything, I was like forget this, I’m not making everything from scratch again. In the end, I’ll lose all the lovely comments people have left, and I think I’ll be screwing up some traffic because all of my images are changing URLs… BUT at least the posts will be there and they’re maintaining their original URLs so I’m soooo thankful for that! Thank you for the love! <3 It's been really nice having all my beauty blogging friends encourage me to keep going!
Thank the Lord! Like I said previously, I’ve become a stalker since finding you and I would be heartbroken without your website! Thank you for your dedication to all of us and yourself;) Go hubby too! Lol
Theresa! Thank you so much for saying so! <3 Seriously, it means the world when someone lets me know that what I'm doing is important to them. I'm hard at work at getting up all the old content. I realize that isn't interesting to people because new content is more interesting obviously(!), but I need the past posts for credibility and some people still use it as reference material for swatches and the like. Please bear with me while I get that stuff back online! <3
Yes totally!! I must have read the makeupgeek posts a few dozen times :):) Trust me when I say a heartfelt thank you for doing this! The old stuff is just as important as the new, it’s part of you and signifies how far you have come and shows the pride you have in what you do. So keep on keeping on and much love from Chicago <3
Those Makeup Geek ones were some of the ones I put up first!!
You’re so sweet! And I’ve never been to Chicago but have full intentions of visiting – you’ll have to tell me where to go and what to see!
