An Introduction

Hey!
I am starting this blog to help everyone out and share what I love most with you.
I love playing around with makeup, trying new looks, and putting outfits together. I can give you beauty advice from experience and show you tutorials on different things. I’ll be posting reviews on some of my favorite products to help you find the best stuff for you! I will help you shop online and in stores to get you the best deals.
I also do web, layout, and graphic design. So if you need help with a layout, photo editing, or just have a simple computer question, let me know! I will put contact information on the side so you can ask questions about anything you want. Also, if you have request on a product review, fashion look, makeup looks, and nails, leave a comment and let me know! I am new at this so I’m still figuring it all out! :]
XOXO,
Gena
