I’m coming back to work today after having had a chunk of the holidays off and unfortunately I seem to have picked up some kind of cold/bug/flu thing on the way back to Toronto. (Womp womp.) So while I don’t have a new post for you today, here’s a roundup of my posts from the last two weeks:
December 20th through the 26th
- Swatch Sunday: Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons: Get a look at the brand new cocoa-infused palette by Too Faced that launched this past month!

Swatch Sunday: Too Faced – The little Black Book of Bronzers: Undecided which bronzer to get? Why don’t you try out a whole bunch of them?
In the last two weeks, I’ve managed to successfully pick up not only a new computer and a ring light (buh-bye money). I’m hoping the quality of my pictures will improve and be more consistent as I won’t be reliant on daylight for shooting photos. Additionally, my new desktop will let me edit videos with ease (I was doing it before on my ancient macbook pro since my old desktop’s audio had gone the way of the dodo about two years ago). Hooray for new toys! Happy New Year everyone. 🙂
so many great blogging goodies! I can’t wait to see all your videos with your great new equipment. FEEL BETTER.

Man, I’m getting better, but Monday and today have NOT BEEN GOOD. And I’ve got zero blog content ready to go. Nooooo! Trying to edit a video but eesh. Hope you’re enjoying your vacation!
So jelly of your ring light! That’s going to be so awesome for photos 🙂 Happy new year! xo

Happy New Year Megan! I’m still learning to work with the ring light! I find it’s giving off some glare on the products I’m showing on camera and it’s definitely not enough to light a room in a video. SO MUCH TO LEARN!
I am so excited to see pics with your ring light – I am saving my pennies so I can buy one… one day… lol

Man, I’m working on it… there’s so much glare coming off of it at times that I’m not sure if I’m using it appropriately!
I want a ring light next! If you’re getting glare, you may need one of those diffuser cover thingies if you aren’t already using one.
🙁 The difuser panels are already on it! Argh! I need something to light my background now though… felt like I was in a cave in my most recent video.
