Palette Porn: Urban Decay Vice

Hey, Beauty Fans--

Sorry I haven't been posting so much this month. If you've been reading, it's because I've been participating in NaNoWriMo, which is also known as National Novel Writing Month, and it's a movement that supports people in writing a 50,000-word novel during the month of November. This means I've been writing at least 1667 words per day, which isn't a lot, if you don't have anything to do.

But I am also working full time, singing with my employee choir, singing at a friend's party, beauty blogging and YouTubing, and training for the Tinker Bell Half Marathon. You can donate to fundraising efforts for the Team to End AIDS in conjunction with that race here.

Phew!

I'm almost done with my 50k word novel, and November's almost over. So far I'm ahead. You can see my progress on the widget up to the right. I already ordered my winner's tee shirt, so I intend to finish, even though I've got stuff to do pretty much all the time until the finish. It's amazing how much you write when you are busy and you carve out an hour at a time.

So to keep things simple, I started a new YouTube series called Palette Porn. Sometimes I just like to look at palettes. Here's one of my newest faves, the blogger's darling, the Urban Decay Vice palette. Enjoy, Beauty Fans!
