A Day in the Life of a Busy, Busy Girl...

Hi Dolls,

I've been trying for days to get a blog post up on my Top 10 MAC lipsticks but the weather around here is sooooo dark and dreary that my lighting is not the best, thus resulting in just BLAH pictures. Now that I think about it, I really need to order some studio lights (as if my husband doesn't already think I own too my stuff LOL). ANYWAY, the point of this blogpost was to give you a day in the life of me and what I do on a daily basis.

It's kind of a huge misconception that because I tweet my little heart out all day long or I post videos mid-day (sometimes), that I must not be working nearly as much as I should be. Well, let me tell you my darling, that is indeed NOT the case. Let's start this out, shall we?

5:00 AM- Wake up

(for those of you who REALLY know me, this is also temp time)

5:05 AM- Shower Time

(I don't struggle to get out of bed, usually, and I take short showers!)

5:20 AM- Blow Dry Hair and style

(I have a video i'm going to be posting on how I blow dry and style my hair!)

5:40 AM- Iron clothes and grab some breakfast

(i'll usually have a meal replacement shake while I iron)

5:55 AM- Wake up Hubby

6:00 AM- Prepare Hubby's lunch and figure out what to make for dinner

(I usually have a sticky note every morning of things I need to pick up for dinner)

6:10 AM- Start my Makeup

(my favorite and most time consuming task LOL)

6:45 AM- Turn on car and finish my hair

(I set my hair so, I unclip it and fluff it up!)

7:00 AM- Hubby and I are out the door to get to work!

7:40 AM- Arrive at work

8:00 AM -12:00 PM- WORK

(I can't really tell you exactly what I do everyday but it's a makeup counter and I one of the manager so I think you can image the kind of things I do)

12:01 PM-1:00PM- Lunch time

(Usually when I tweet the most)

1:00PM-4:00PM- WORK

(My current work schedule is Tuesday-Friday as Friday night-Saturday Night are my busiest freelance days)

4:01 PM- Set up client lists and figure out where I need to go.

5:00 PM- Freelance

(I usually have freelance clients anywhere from 4-7 days out of the week, Monday being an all freelance kind of day. I work with a local photographer and will help with his clients. I also have clients who model and because I live in a pretty huge city, there's always something going on. I've done everything from magazine shoots, modeling portfolios, news segments, and theater productions to things like parties, weddings, quinceneras, and etc.)

on days where i'm not freelancing, i'm usually home hanging out, catching up with friends and recording a video. Sunday's are ALWAYS my day off... So MOST of my videos are filmed on Sundays and I just switch up my clothes to look like it's a different day LOL.

8:00 PM(ish)- Arrive Home

8:10 PM- Start Dinner

(it's during this time that I have my computer running while I watch videos to catch up)

8:45(ish)PM- Hubby comes home and we eat dinner

9:15 PM- Clean up the kitchen

9:30 PM- Prep my kit for the next day

(Replenishing sanitizer, mascara wands, cleaning brushes, etc.)

9:45 PM- Relaxation time

OR

If a video needs to be filmed or edited, I usually do it at this time

(which explains the lighting in my videos, right?!)

12:00 AM- Sleep

ALL OF THIS AND TRYING TO HAVE A BABY AT THE SAME TIME.... WHOA! :-)

I am really fortunate to be able to keep my cell phone with me at all times during the day, because that allows me moments to check and respond to comments, watch a quick video, tweet and even blog on the go (like i'm doing right now!)

I am also lucky that my husband goes home for lunch (he works 3 minutes away from home) and if I leave a video ready to just click "upload", he will do it for me (what a stud, right?).

Okay so that was a peek into my life. The days aren't always like this, some are more relaxed and others are more jam packed. I love my life and what I do but, I do want to make it very clear that I am a busy bee and sometimes, I can't always be as involved as other YouTubers but I have the very best intentions.

I hope this wasn't too long or boring and that you enjoyed the peek into my life!

Love and Lipgloss,

Edith
