Coming Soon... Your New Esthetician on the Block

Hello, lovelies!

Things have been slowing down around here, as I'm sure you've noticed. Between being sick (don't worry, it's not swine flu!), trying to sort things out with various healthcare providers and my insurance company, and preparing for a big change coming up in my life, I've been swamped.

And while I don't make many personal announcements at BBB, I thought I'd share my newest endeavor!

As of next month, I'll be putting my university studies on hold so I can attend beauty school and become - drumroll please - a licensed esthetician! Yep, that's right... I'm going to be trained to be an expert on everything skincare, with a focus on clinical esthetics and a laser technician certification!

I'm so incredibly excited that I've finally gotten the chance to take my life in the direction I've been hoping for! And in this poor economy, trade school seems much more profitable right now than a regular Bachelor's degree - so I'm hoping the time and money will be worth it!

I've considered putting the blog on hold, but decided I simply couldn't do it. Despite how busy I am and will be over the next six months, blogging is practically what I live and breathe. So, while posts may be scarce sometimes, you can bet I won't be giving up!

Thanks for your continued support, everyone! :) Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to bed...

Congrats!!! Don't worry, you will feel a bit frustrated/stressed at first but afterwords you will emerge with so much knowledge and who knows maybe a new addiction. (I developed one with makeup after going to esthetician school) Lol plus I find that now as an esthetician I'm making more money than I did with my B.S degree (found a job before my temp license came in). Sigh...but it goes back into makeup and goodies anyway. Write about your experience and fun things you learn at school. I wish I would have done that when I was going to school. Anyway, you get a big thumbs up from me lots of luck and success!

Recessionista - Thanks! I was thinking of possibly starting a new blog for that, actually :) We'll see though!

Crissy - Wow, that's awesome! Thanks for the encouragement! I can't wait to get started.

Mrs. Cheng - Thank you!

Renee - Well, I was studying something pretty out there... Asian languages, lol! It was one of the few things I was interested enough in to commit to. I'm a nerd at heart for sure. :) Thank you!

Emilita - Thanks, I hope it works out!

Fabuless - I'll miss you too! I hope I can still post from time to time, but my days are about to get really busy. :)

T - Thank you! I definitely will.
