Balance and Blushington

Hello readers and HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! I have been waiting all week to say that. Not that this week was particularly stressful but I totally need a weekend to detox and get my life back in order. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do but it really throws you out of your routine, and I.love.routines. I will be taking lots of bloggers pictures this weekend (which I always love doing) and then relaxing (most likely editing) at night. I guess that is one of the beauties and downfalls of this “full-time, freelance, consulting, photographer, I do what I can to make money blogging life.” It never stops. I find the hardest thing is trying to juggle work life, home life, and personal life. I am constantly trying to update social media, thinking about my blog, or worrying about a post. This year I am working on many things but balance is definitely one of them.

Balance: offset or compare the value of (one thing) with another. I have NEVER been good at comparing or offsetting the value of one thing with another. I have a very obsessive personality so when I have a thought in my mind, I can’t let it go. The act of balance is something I have been working on my entire life. Maybe, just maybe, 2014 is the year I finally learn it! Although, highly unlikely as I have been obsessing over getting a new lens for the past two weeks. I mean, day and night, I am looking them up to figure out which one I want, comparing prices, and looking at sample pictures. Call me crazy!

Okay, so this has been a long tangent about things you probably didn’t come to this blog to read but I do have a matter to discuss at hand. I, along with my gal pals, will be hosting a fun event at Blushington Make-up on January 22nd and I would love for all of my Dallas readers to attend. Here is the plan; go ahead and mark your calendars now and rsvp to the e-mail above! This way you know you have something fun to fill your Wed. evening. And to be honest, I am not even sure there are any good reality show on TV Wed. evening so you really don’t have an excuse not to come. 🙂 See you there! xx
