One of the very first posts I did when I started this blog five months ago, was titled “Make-Up to get you through your Break-Up”. I will tell you that sometimes what enables us to heal during a difficult time, is sharing with others how you feel or what you have personally gone through. I have always been an extremely strong, determined and passionate woman and I love with my eyes wide open. The people in my life truly know how much I love and adore them, and at this point in my life, I don’t surround myself with anyone that I don’t absolutely cherish and respect. I have been thinking about my journey these past seven months since an extremely difficult and unexpected break-up. There has always been a part of me that wanted to write an honest and raw blog post about my experience during this difficult time, but it wasn’t until the past month I felt I was really strong enough to talk about it. My mother always told me that everything happens for a reason. I will tell you without a doubt, she was right. If someone had told me this is how my life was going to be seven months ago, I would have never believed it in a million years. I will say I truly LOVE my life. At this very moment, this is exactly where I am supposed to be. I have an amazing family and the best friends a girl could ask for. There are three people in particular that I can honestly say saved me. (and you know who you are:) I thank god every day for the life I have and what is on the horizon. This blog has been such an amazing and creative outlet for me and what is even more amazing, are the opportunities that have come my way and the doors have opened way wider than I ever thought possible. I am a true testament of following your dreams, and ladies, the next time some man walks out of your life, honestly be thankful, because I thank my lucky stars every day that this happened to me. What at the time seemed like the worst thing in the world has become my biggest blessing. Thank you for the continued support and following me on this journey these past five months. I have so many wonderful things happening and once I’m actually allowed to share the news, you’ll be the first to know. Now go put on your boldest and brightest lipstick and show the world what you’re made of. It absolutely worked for me! – xoxo, Jen
