Dreams Coming True

-
I had a couple of major goals in 2019. My top three were to visit Los Angeles, make a ton of impulsive decisions, and get at least one of my designs used for merch by an artist or influencer. Now, with only less than a month left of the year, I can happily say I accomplished my top three goals. I visited LA in the summer and leave to visit again on December 30th, I made a few ~too~ many impulsive decisions (my bank account is really regretting it), and the most exciting in my opinion, my first merch campaign in collaboration with YouTuber and influencer, Caitlyn Rae.
I’ve known Caitlyn for about a year and a half now, when she only had 15,000 subscribers, now as 2019 nears she has nearly 300,000 subscribers. At the end of October, Caitlyn and I started discussing plans for a possible collaboration for her Black Friday launch. I threw around the idea of a Christmas sweater design and Caitlyn was really excited about it so we went for it. I spent about an hour or two that night working on the design and we submitted it to her merch company about a week later.

The design launched on Black Friday at noon, and as far as I know, it has sold really well so far! The response on Twitter and Instagram was really good as well. Mine will be here next week so I’m super excited to get it! I hope you all were able to accomplish some goals for yourself this year! Check out the link below for my sweater!

Beauty on a Budget

I personally love makeup, the artistry of it, and just how much fun it can be. Whenever I am stressed or bored I will just do a makeup look for fun, and sometimes they turn out so well. Makeup for me is super relaxing, and I absolutely love doing it, but it can be expensive.  I learned how to do makeup from practice and of course from the beauty gurus on YouTube. Although YouTube can be a great place to learn techniques and get great new ideas, the products used are often extremely expensive and are not practical for the everyday college student to get. I am going to list some great, widely used drugstore makeup products below that may help you out if you are also interested in makeup but have no idea what to get and can not afford the high-end brands. The first product that I currently swear by is the Maybelline Superstay foundation. I have relatively dry skin, so it is hard for me to find a good foundation that doesn't make my face look or feel super cakey. I don't t

The Riding Out East, Then West, Then East Again Tour

This last Friday, I went to Cincinnati with my best friend to go see and meet YouTubers/comedians, Cody Ko and Noel Miller on their Riding Out East, Then West, Then East Again Tour. This was the second time I got to see Cody and Noel live, I saw them the first time earlier this year. They make commentary videos where they watch or react to strange videos and accounts and create parody songs, resulting in hilarious content. Their live show is nothing less than exceptional, I’d say funnier than their typical YouTube content. The whole show filled with tons of jokes, crowd participation, a few live songs, a live “That’s Cringe” segment, and a Q&A.  Before the show started, I was able to meet and talk to them a little bit which was a super fun experience. They were super sweet, but also made jokes the entire time. My dad said I wouldn’t ask them to roast me because I’m too sensitive, so obviously I had to ask them to do it to prove him wrong. Sure enough, they didn’t hesit
