One year ago today, I made my very first post on Embellishments Beauty! It was a Nails of the Week with Revlon's Lilac Pastelle and looking back on it now, man were the pictures (and my paint job) crappy! On that very post, Katie over at Love, Life & Kitty Toys left me my first ever comment and the rest is history!

I wanted to use this occasion to share some fun stats about my blog and, of course, thank you guys! I remember those first few weeks of blogging where getting to 10 followers seemed monumental and I would constantly refresh my page views, hoping that someone out there was reading! I never would have guessed that a year later I would have 247 followers and almost 50,000 pageviews! So seriously, thank you thank you thank you to each and every one of you who has taken the time to read and comment over the past 12 months. I appreciate you guys so much, and I am so grateful and honored that, of all the amazing blogs out there, you bother to read mine =) It's been a pleasure to get to know some of you guys through your comments and I hope I get to talk to more of you in the future!

  6. Girl, I found the hidden sharpener in this Revlon ColorStay eyeliner! If you pull out the little purple piece at the bottom, it comes out and voila, a sharpener. Haha, just thought I'd tell you on your blog. :)
