Alice Does Blogs

Ola!  As a beauty blogger, I get tons of products to review on a daily basis and usually I do a patch test before actually using a product. What is a patch test?  It's basically a simple procedure where you test it first on a small amount to see if you develop an allergic reation towards it.  Here is a short story before I tell you why this is important. A couple of years ago, a company sent me a product to review with a full disclosure that if this gave an allergic reaction to me I won't post the review which they actually agreed on because I am willing to pay for the next batch of products I will order from their store if this product works out.  For the first couple of days I noticed red bumps on my skin which bothered me. I didn't actually analyzed it further until the third day of using the product - It made my skin itchy and red that I had to go to the doctor!  I don't have the pictures anymore because it was super bad which I also reported to the company ...

This is a lengthy post so bear with me and I hope you learn something from this.  I almost   decided to quit blogging some time ago - why?  Because I grew tired of the competition of being the first.  I grew tired to being in constant fear that my work is not good enough.  I grew tired of the constant thought of being irrelevant.  These are just some of the things that blurred the real reason why I started to write.

I know I should have updated this blog site for a while but I have been so busy I actually forgot this. It sucks because I want this platform to be a source of Information but since I have been busy I neglected this site.  To my avid readers - thank you for continuing the support and love you have given me, some of you even transferred to my youtube channel since I have updated that more than this!  To those that have asked that if I have transferred to youtube in making content - yes, but not entirely. I will still post here but currently I am trying to bring back my live for writing and not feel so toxic about writing.  I have also been missing in action because I got a new dog.  Meet Nikko a.k.a. sharky He is the source of my happiness now. Just like my other furbabies he is a total goof ball. He is a sweetheart too! Just look at his adorkable-ness (I know thats not a real word so shut up k? )  I have also been spending a lot of time with mudra so currentlu m...
