Hi my lovelies,
For my blog homework this week I picked an oldie topic. I picked it because it stood out to me as something which is very much at the forefront of my mind right now and is something which I have been saving up for for a while.
This year I turned 30, 'Dirty 30', the BIG 3 0. Nether the less, it was SCARY.
For the last year, leading up to my 30th, I had a big 'I'm turning 30 this year crisis'. I've never known what exactly I wanted to do with my life, all I really ever cared about was going snowboarding, but turning 30 really scared me and make me think, I can't just do this for the rest of my life. I need some sort of stability. Which for me is an extremely weird thought because I have never been the one to give into society, follow the trend, or do 'the norm'. All of my friends from school (and I mean pretty much everyone) is now married with kids and here I am living out of a backpack with pretty much nothing to my name other than a few snowboards haha! It never bothered me, I was super happy doing my thang, I was (still am) pretty much living the dream! No commitments, no regrets, no worries!
But then, turning 30 made me think. I can't be a 30 something snowboard bum, I need to 'sort my shit out'. Like I said before, I never knew what I wanted to do with my life, I just knew I wanted to travel. When I was at school everyone knew exactly what they wanted to be when they graduated and which career path to take, I literally had no idea. So I travelled, I saw the world, and my twenties have been epic to say the least, but again, I always come back to thinking, I really need to figure out what I really want to do, because I can't live this life forever.
I had been thinking about going to Make Up school for a while now, but always thought I could never afford it, (it's INSANELY EXPENSIVE) especially as an international student here in Canada. But then this year I was like, you know what, if this is really what I want to do, then I need to go for it! I need to make it happen! So I literally worked my little butt off, saving everything I could to finally put down a deposit and enrol into one of the best makeup schools in the country (even in the world) here in Vancouver. I still have alot of money to pay off, but I am so happy that I finally bit the bullet and went for it! There is no going back now!
I start school in January and I am going to be the absolute brokest bitch ever soon but I cannot wait to finally put my mind to something which I am so passionate about and finally start a new career that I really truly want to be in! It has been my dream to look forward to going to work every day and doing something which I love, and I am super excited that it's finally going to bappen!
Thank you so much guys for reading! If you haven't already, please check out my brand new set WET KISSES by the incredible @shaine shot in the bathtub at the Vancouver shootfest earlier this year. I would love for you to give it some love and help me turn PINK! It would be the best Christmas present a girl could ask for <♥️
Much Love (as always)
Pixie ♥️
