Where, What and Who update

Hello, people of the interwebs.

Just a quick update  letting you know where I have been, what I have done and who I have been hangin with.

First the where.

I have been mostly home, due to car troubles so I haven't really gone anywhere except to the grocery store. And I have to admit I like smaller grocery stores better than the larger chains stores.

Second the what.

Well,I have done a lot without having a car. I ran two giveaways that went pretty decent, considering they were my first giveaways ever. I won a giveaway , but haven't recieved it yet, but I hear this product is pretty good, so I am excited about that.

I started a new segment on my Youtube channel called Beauty News Network you can read about that on themakeupsquid.com. I hit 300 Subbies on Youtube!  The giveaway really helped with that, but didn't get me to 300.

Third the who.

I haven't seen anyone for a while on account of the car situation. But I like being at home with my lil family.
My friend Julie started her own blog, so I have been helping her out with images and stuff, I will write a spotlight post on her blog soon on themakeupsquid.com

So, thats my update I hope you found it exhilarating.

Something I like

So, today I thought I would share with you something I like.


Music:

I like all kinds of music, but the music that speaks to me the most is music from the 80's. Right now a song that dear to me is sing your life by Morrissey who was the lead singer for The Smiths back in the day.

you can have a listen by watching this video.


I love the sound of his voice and his lyrics. A saying in my house "Morrissey is always right."

What kind of music do you listen to?

If you ran a magazine, what would you call it? What kind of articles would it have?
What if I told you, you could be your own chief and editor of your own magazine? How cool is that!

Want your followers to know what you find cool or interesting on the interwebs? Well then you need paper.li.

Paper.li is a website thingamabob that is hooked up to your social medias including your Youtube account and it places all your goings on in a nice magazine style format that is delivered to your followers daily in their email box.

This is great for any active blogger! it shows your audience what you all about and gives them a chance to comment and join your conversations. I really like how professional it looks and it easy to navigate.

You can customize it to your liking with what to share and what not to share. right now I only have three sections Headlines, Stories and Articles. This is great for someone like me who is a bit lazy and doesn't do a lot of online socializing as it gets me inspired to seek out the cool and fabulous, so that my magazine can have some cool articles for my followers to read. It even comes with a browser widget that you can add anything to your magazine in a click!

My magazine is called The Interwebs Chic you can follow it here. https://paper.li/themakeupsquid/1388257556

Pissed off today!

I am so pissed off today! I want to fight and scream and yell. Everything I tried to get done today went down the drain. I tried to record some videos a review and some tags and I erased the memory card with all the footage on it! I couldn't record again, because my son was acting up and it was just a noisy day. I broke out on my face which I know isn't a reaction or hormonal, but from dust! every time I get near any kind of dust my face goes mental and I get tiny little bumps that want to eat my soul starting with my face, so its probably better I didn't post the videos because thats all I noticed while going through the footage.

I made a big mistake in setting up my filming and vanity area in our bedroom. The T.V is in the bedroom and thats where the child is! He doesn't watch much TV, but he just needs to be where it is, thats why I took it out of the living room. When he goes down for a nap my husband who is a music producer/mixer guy starts doing his thing and it gets pretty loud, so I cant film at those times either. ARGHH!! I just want my own space where I could close the door and do my thing just for a few hours.

I know this isn't very interesting, but I needed to get it out of me, there is it.

Blog Growth Updates!

Hi, Everyone!

I am back again with another installment of my blog growth updates! Since my last update I experienced a little growth spurt and then things died down, so I made a few changes and hopefully things will pick back up again :)

Twitter:  

I currently stand at 2,042 followers! I truly love twitter, although I have to admit I haven't been tweeting much, That's still 333 new followers since february.

Instagram:

I have 866 instagram followers that I interact with on the daily! There are some talented makeup artist on there. Since February I have gained 244 new followers. I have a giveaway going on here, but I am not expecting much from it as I am giving away a product that isn't well known.

Pintrest:

I have 108 followers here, I just can't get into it. I have tried maybe its the app that I don't like. I still gained 45 followers for an app I hardly use.

Google +:

I have 285 people in my circles and 316 people have me in their circles. I stopped using G+ since I switched my commenting to Disqus. I do miss it as it helped me see the blogs I follow easier, but the app has changed for me, maybe its a setting I applied I dunno.

Facebook:

On the Makeup Squid Page I have 1,329 likes, 288 friends. Interwebs Chic has 59 likes.

Bloglovin:

Interwebs Chic has 255 followers I have gained 44 followers here, The Makeup Squid has 340 I gained 54 followers and the new kid on the blogging block  The Relationship Daily has 9 followers.

YouTube:

My Channel The Makeup Squid has 281 subbies as of right now, I am currently running a giveaway, so I expect this to grow. I have gained 75 new subbies since my last update which was in february.

I am happy with my growth, it seemed to be growing at a steady pace, then it stopped. So I have learned that you have to keep on, keepin on to keep your growth coming.

Here is the video of my giveaway.
