What's happening on my Instagram and Why

So a few days ago, I uploaded a selfie on Instagram and just put the date on it... and then I decided I was going to start doing that every day.

And I decided that for a few reasons. 1) I take a lot of selfies, I usually update them to my Beauty Blog at some point in time... but I often forget to update them to Instagram... and I hate that. I work hard for these makeup looks and I should put them on Instagram more often. 2) I feel like I look different all the time. I was looking at old pictures of me and even just from a few months ago... thats not what I look like all the time. Like my current profile picture has me with really nice makeup and hair and red lipstick... I don't do that all the time... so I figured I would just show a picture every day. 3) I sort of want a beauty related instagram... but thats a lot of work and I'm not that skilled. Lol. 4) I'm not really fishing for compliments or anything... but having a person click like every day feels nice. So... thats sort of motivation. If you have a crappy day... sometimes a like is all it takes. Plus I always find it interesting to see who likes my pics. Is that creepy? Yes. But its the honest truth. I like being liked. Who doesn't? I'm okay with being disliked, I am who I am and I'm not going to change for people to like me... but I like when people like me for who I am and that's genuinely what the pictures are.

I kind of want to make it motivational too. Like I'm not posting anything motivational about it... but I'm not a perfect picture taker. I'm not skilled with my phone camera, My face isn't perfect... sometimes my skin looks super dry and my makeup doesn't look great... and sometimes I break out and I don't really cover it up. I don't want to use a filter with anything either. And I'm not like one of those people that are like "Selfies are so motivational" because they aren't. Its just a damn pic of someones face! Lol... but its been a fun fixture in my life the past few days.

And another thing I want is something to be consistent. I like the idea that everyday I post 2 blogs and a picture of my face... and I exist in real life and do other things too. I think its just one more way for me to be fun and creative...and if I don't post here I'll have that... and if I don't keep up with taking a picture of myself every day... I won't be that so much.

Also... I love my Instagram Handle. Shannonsface. You can follow me if you want. I was going to say follow me at the end... but I figured since one of the reasons is me liking my name... Why not.

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
