i love this thread, it came just at the right time!!
last night i was just explaining to my boyfriend (who was getting a little frustrated at me waking up before him to do my makeup) that getting inspired and coming up with a new look in the mornings is a really positive way for me to start the day. it makes me feel better to be creative right away and wakes me up a bit.
plus, it's a great stress reliever...i know that sounds weird but i'm sure you guys will understand! honestly, i can just let my mind relax and mix colours and finishes and do whatever i feel like. if i can't sleep at night because my mind is racing around work stuff, i just think of products and colours and looks i can come up with. not to mention i'm always around online checking out new stuff and what everyone else is doing, so it really is a hobby just like any other, and i definitely look forward to getting up and doing it!
