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 *to be updated with the most current posts 3/9/18 beauty-buys-regrets.html

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 Written and Published Jan 20181/30/18 morels-las-vegas.html 1/30/18 palazzo.html 1/30/18 las-vegas-january-2018.html 1/18/18 creamy-tomato-spam.html Old entries Published Jan 201811/1/17 pomerol-seattle.html
I've been unemployed for a little over a month now and, I gotta say, it feels great! I'm enjoying life a little bit more in the sense that I'm free to do my makeup and interior designs anytime I want; I get to write more; I can tend to the house and cooking on a regular basis; and I'm more patient with my family! Amazingly, I've had jobs every week doing the makeup thing and I'm starting to get more inquiries...perhaps a start to a most fruitful career? I'm giving myself some time to get my former side gigs up and running by trying to network and ask advice from those doing the freelance hustle. Still, I am a little bit anxious for what the future will hold for me as I am not in a conventional position making money. Hubby has been nervous as well but tells me that it's his turn to take care of me when the going gets tough (or is it rough?) because, after all, I was the one supporting the family when we were both working minimum wage, living in an apartment with a toddler for our 1st year of marriage. For better, for worse indeed.
Since Seattle isn't really big in the makeup industry, jobs can be hard to come by (although, I'm in the running as a makeup instructor for Tint Cosmetology School). I am still casually looking out there in case things don’t go as planned - I mean, I have to because I’ve got kids to feed! If it ever comes down to it, I intend to work somewhere more creative (although, I know the pay won't be as good as what I used to do), I do have a pretty good work background so I'm not too worried about snagging a job. And, really, I've come to realize that I'd rather be broke and happy, than rich and stressed or miserable. My sanity is important to me and I only have one life. Some of you who follow me on my social media know my makeup artistry pseudonym "FACES by M." Of course, I make over faces on a weekly basis and my mission is "uncovering your inner goddess" but thought it was fitting to keep the name for my blog because, in a sense, there are so many FACEts (get it?) of me that I want to share with the world. I have all these thoughts and interests - not only creatively but with everyday life . Aside from knowing makeup I have a BFA in Interior Design; I sing; I act; I dance; I dabble in fashion styling; I cook; all while being a busy, full-time working mom! Believe me the list goes on. So think of me as J-Lo (the ultimate Jill of All Trades) but WAAAAYYY less famous. LOL
I've finally done it! This has been a goal of mine for the past couple of years and I finally decided to take on this challenge and start my own blog on things I love.

About MeMari here! Most that know me pronounce it "Mary" because of my full name (Marilou) but I've come to realize I'd like to be called "Mawry" (but it's probably too late, ya know?) ... however, I won't ever correct anyone if they say my name the latter way! Archives
