Hi guys, I am going on a make-up ban. No, no the blog is not going to shut down anytime soon, its just that lately, I have become a bit of a hoarder. I just buy, put it away and don’t look again. I am running behind on reviews that I had previously planned of the things I had purchased, but they just don’t seem to be happening. Just to encourage myself to review things I have collected over these months, I am going on a no buy till April 30, 2012. What is excluded from this no-buy:

1. Skin care, obviously.
2. Mascara
3. PR samples
4. Gifts

If you host your blog on WordPress and use Google Friend Connect, you probably have heard the rumour that GFC will no longer be available come January or whenever that is (we really don’t care)! You may have already noticed, I have gotten rid of that thing already. To be honest, it doesn’t matter to me. I have see visit logs, and they haven’t changed a bit since the change; well maybe because it is still functional, secretly, you just can’t join the site by GFC like before.

But we can still keep in touch, I promise! If you are an anonymous blog reader and will like to remain anonymous and have a bloglovin’ account, I would love (read LOVE) if you could follow us through our official bloglovin’ account here. Turns out we have many AOYV bloglovin’ pages, but the one linked is the only official one. You can also join our facebook page here. Or of course, you can follow us on twitter here. You could also bookmark us. Or just plain old enter the URL and go hit. We don’t care as long as you keep visiting us. 

Ok, that’s it – have a great evening  

(PS: I’m bombarded with learning, I’ll post at my convenience this week, toodles!)

Annabelle is a Canadian beauty brand, which is basically my go-to drug-store brand. I recently had the opportunity to guest blog from them. I created a look with their newest collection. If you guys want to see what I came up with, click here!
