November/December 2018 blog entries*

11/4/2018

Since it's the holiday season and most of us will be doing a gazillion things for the holidays, I'll be combining the months of November and December. Thanksgiving and Christmas will be upon us soon and it's pretty much GO-TIME!!! This season, however, is also a time to reflect on our lives...what we're thankful for, time spent with friends and family, and the spirit of the holidays. I, for one, am excited to spend any time with my loved ones and I'm thankful for my family and each day that I get to experience or learn something new. What are you looking forward to this holiday season?

To close out 2018, I will be busy writing and collecting content so, without further ado, enjoy the following entries for these next couple of months...

Happy Holidays from me and my family to yours!

~
XOXO, Mari

This is my month.  My BIRTHDAY month.  It's my last few days in my 30s and I'm headed into my 40s. 

I'm not sure why, but  I was usually depressed right around my birthday and, unfortunately, the only people that actually see me depressed is my husband and (maybe a couple of my kids).  Honestly, it used to hurt my feelings that sometimes other people close to me didn't acknowledge my birthday unless it was a reminder on social media.  Also, many times I felt that I wasn't where I needed to be in life (whatever that is). 

Well I've learned to accept things as they are and concluded that I just have too many expectations.  It was this way of thinking that was killing me inside.  I decided that, moving forward, I'm going to just do me and disregard anything or anyone that may remotely make me feel upset.

So, cheers, to positive thinking and this next chapter of my life!          

~XOXO, Mari

August/September 2018 entries - What happened?

9/30/2018

Life happened...that's what.  I know, such a basic answer but it's true and it happens.  I worked a few weddings - some local, some out-of-town - and had some interior design projects that had deadlines.  It's been an insane couple of months.  However, October should be a better month for blog entries because things will start to slow down a little for me.  I'm excited to share some products I've been trying out as well as a couple of vacations I went on so stay tuned!

~XOXO, Mari

​Where did June go?! SERIOUSLY. With the end of the school year just a few weeks ago and the start of warmer weather (we're still having some cloudy days here in the PNW), it's hard to fathom that we're already in the middle of summer break. My kids start school again the last week of August!

I'm looking to share more content - a couple may be on the deeper side of things. There is so much I'd like to write about that I have a feeling I may be a little all over the place this month. Still, I hope you're able to get some insight on at least one of my entries in the coming weeks.

~XOXO, Mari

School's out, BBQs are in full effect, people are working on their beach bodies...needless to say, it's been crazy busy! With already half the year down, these next few months are going to whiz by.

Again, this month, I will be able to produce a few entries for you. There are some exciting entries in the works and can't wait to share them with you!

Cheers to the start of SUMMER!

~XOXO, Mari

It's May!  Still in the thick of Spring (although, not so much here in the Pacific Northwest), summer will be upon us in a few weeks. 

This month, I'll be getting back on track to getting my blog posts out in a more spaced out manner as opposed to last month's entries where my entries were posted almost one right after the other in a matter of days.  Enjoy this month's blogs and happy reading!

~XOXO, Mari

Oh my goodness, this month was a busy one! 
.
My makeup gigs are starting to pick up and a few changes are happening personally that has taken a lot of my time.  This month will present only a few blogs for the time we have left until May but should (hopefully) entertain you as much as I enjoyed producing the content. 

Stay tuned for more in the coming week as we welcome the month of May.   Ciao!

We've finally made it to March - end of Winter/beginning of Spring.  This month will be a little busy but I intend to post as much as I can.  Feel free to drop me a message or two if you have any ideas on what you'd like me to write about.  XOXO, Mari

Blog Entries for the month of January 2018

As a new blogger, I'm trying to figure out ways to make it easier to get to the articles I’ve written or published for the month. So, as another way to make it more "user friendly" for you to have immediate access to each article, I'll be listing them here on my Home page, with the latest post being on top!  

Feel free to let me know if it helps or not. Happy reading! ~ XOXO, Mari

    About Me

    Mari here!  That's pronounced "Mary" not "Mawry" or "Marie" (but y'know, I never correct anyone if they say my name wrong - haha)! Welcome to my blog where I share my inner thoughts and all things I love in life. I work for an awesome company that allows me to showcase my creativity while moonlighting as a freelance makeup artist, blogger, and (soon-to-be) vlogger!  Still, my most important job is raising 3 beautiful children with one handsome dude!
