About Me

I was doing a quick scan over my blog the other day and I noticed that I've never actually said a lot about myself and what I'm interested in. At first I thought, "no one cares who's writing the blog, it's the actual posts that matter." Than I thought that I could be wrong... Maybe people are interested in who I am how that would affect my personal opinion on things. Anyways, if this is not interesting to you at all, I completely understand and give you full permission to just ignore this whole thing. The purpose of it is to make this blog seem more personable and hopefully you will be able to relate more to me.

Okay so enough of my rambling.... let's move on.

First off, I'm a teenager in high school that lives in Toronto and is passionate about clothes, makeup, shoes, jewelry and everything else that's related. For almost all of my life my style has been sophisticated and classic. I am sometimes reminded that I am a teenager and I don't need to dress older than I am so I should try to take more risks.

I would say people would describe me as being sarcastic, spontaneous, and a perfectionist. I always make stupid jokes that no one thinks are funny... except for me of course. I love the thrill of spontaneity and the sense of excitement from adventure. I would say I'm a perfectionist because I'm always trying to impress. I'm always asking for suggestions and I worry about being perfect. This is something that I'm trying to work on, especially in the new year. I'm trying to focus on doing my personal best instead of being the best overall.

Something that's really important to me is traveling. This is how I fulfill my sense of adventure and my desire to discover. I believe that school will only get you so far, and even though it's important, the best way to learn is by seeing different parts of the world. This past summer I was lucky enough to go to Africa on a service trip. I came back a completely different person with such an appreciation for life. A dream of mine is someday to go to Thailand and work at an elephant reserve... Random, I know.

My background is really strange. My mom was born in Egypt which makes me half Egyptian and my dad is this crazy European mutt. It's hard to know really where he comes from but we're guessing the majority of it is Spanish, British, and Danish. So my Ethnicity would have to be half Egyptian and half "confused." Even though I have middle eastern blood, you would never guess by looking at me. I have blonde curly hair, blue eyes and relatively pale skin. I wish I had the gorgeous darker olive skin tone that most Egyptians have but nope, I look purely white.

If someone were to ask me what my biggest obsession were to be, I would have to say makeup. Anyone who knows me, knows I would choose makeup over food. This probably sounds like I'm a makeup freak and I don't leave the house without makeup... That's not the case. I see makeup as more of an art form and a way of expression which is always inspiring to me. I'm amazed with the new products that are coming out by different companies and I want to try them all! I also love comparing different brands and finding the absolute best fit for me.

In terms of my future? My biggest dream would be to start my own makeup company from the ground up. I love the business and creative aspect of it. I'm somewhat afraid because I know being an entrepreneur is extremely risky and I know it's a lot of work but it's something that my heart is set upon. Although this is something I am determined to do, my heart is always changing and who knows where I'll be in ten years.

The reason I decided to start this blog is to share my point of view and learn along the way. I'm always open to change so I'm sure it will always be transforming. I know I've said this before, but I love talking to people and hearing their opinion so please let me know what you think! I will always be open to suggestions.

Hopefully I answered some of your questions and you get a sense of who I am. If this was terribly boring, I sincerely apologize :)

xoxo,

Nicole

P.S. This post looks like an essay! I'm so sorry for all the writing!
