New Journey Ahead

It's Official!!

Hey there my lovelies, I hope everyone is having a beautiful and blessed day! I am here with my first official post to tell y'all a little bit more about myself.

Starting off, the question I am asked most when speaking to people is how to pronounce my name, Khariah. The best way to pronounce it is like Mariah, but with a "K" instead of an "M". I understand my name can trip up a few people at first glance and wanted to help y'all out and be ahead of the game :). I am a college student completing my last semester at Murray State University! I am getting a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice, which I have always felt a deep connection in this area, and have been studying since my junior year in high school. While this is a serious passion of mine, there other interests that touch my heart.

I read for fun whenever I get the chance. My mother has told me once before that I should be an actor, so that way I can play all these different roles I enjoy to read. I swear with my dramatics I had to have been into the theatrics in a past life! LOL! I can speed-read through a book in a day or two when I have enough free time, because if the book is fire I just have to know what comes next. It's like a movie or TV show in my mind when I read, so if I stop in the middle it's like pausing your Netflix binge! You got to know what happens next! I think it is amazing how much you can learn from anything you read. Like many shows you watch, you get invested in the characters and begin to learn though them and with them. We tend to identify with certain characters and it keeps us interested and coming back for more. I believe opening a new book is like stepping into a new reality, for just a little while. It is a way to unwind and get excitement without stirring up any drama in your own life. Let's be real we all like to spice up our life, but not get burned in the process.

My feeling for makeup were a slow development for me. I always enjoyed trying to look my best (my campus look does not count, it's just too early for me to do all that) but never felt the need for the long process some girl's took. In high school I started with eyeliner and mascara, but it wasn't until college I really got into it for myself. I view makeup as a work of art since I have a natural talent for art. I practiced and honed my skill throughout middle school and high school and participated in a few art shows. I enjoy the shading, colors, textures, etc. I occasionally sit down and draw like I used to, but I have seemed to transform my canvas from paper to my face. In no way am I a makeup artist, but I have learned what has worked for me and that sharing tips and new finds with your friends is fun and informative.

Now y'all know I am a college student, so that means I can't go around buying whatever I want because this education is expensive! Swear they charge you to just LOOK at the campus! I have worked and not worked; however, I stay tight with my coins. When I have the extra to spend I browse through looking for the cheaper, yet quality items of everything! The town where my university is located is very small and the closest mall and actual city is almost an hour away, so I had to adapt to shopping with lesser options. There are individual stores and establishments, but nothing like I was used to at home and in bigger cities. I intend to share with y'all the truth, whether it is good or bad, while still shining some positivity throughout it all. Thanks so much for reading, and feel free to comment and make yourself at home when visiting! ;)
