fourteen years of the creation of beauty is art.

the creation of beauty is art. will turn fourteen tomorrow. What a strange sentence to write. It never occurred to me way back in 2011 that this beauty blog would become such a significant part of my life, but it has become something that makes me extremely proud. It remains a creative outlet, a passion, and a safe place to land. My life has changed so much since that first post was shared, but one thing remains the same: the creation of beauty is art. Though many of the older posts make me cringe when I look back at them, those posts show how far I have come. It is kind of nice to see where I was before and compare it to where I am now. I am a little older and possibly a little wiser....and I finally like the person I am becoming. 

To celebrate the arrival of another blog birthday, it seemed appropriate to answer some blogging tag questions. Here goes! 

  • How long have you been blogging? Though the creation of beauty is art. is turning fourteen tomorrow, there was another blog that I had briefly that was related to music reviews. At a certain point, it made sense to focus my interests in one location and that is how this blog was born. I wanted a space where I could write about all the things that I find beautiful. Often that includes makeup, fashion, skin care, entertainment, music, and travel.
  • Do you enjoy answering tag questions? Every now and then, it is nice to answer some random questions and share little bits and pieces of personal information. Tag questions can be a nice way to shake things up on the blog.
  • Do you follow the blogs that follow you? I sure try to! Something I love about blogging is that I get to "meet" all sorts of different people from around the world. It is amazing that blogs make it possible to connect with others in such a special way. Reading other blogs is a wonderful way to learn more, stay connected, and get inspired. 
  • Describe your blog in five words. Beautiful, broken, hopeful, informative, and meaningful. 
  • How many posts have you made on your blog? This post will be number 2,553. Though the actual number is slightly higher, because over time, certain posts that no longer align with me have been removed. For example, celebrities that I really liked years ago that turned out to be terrible. Some posts have simply been edited to reflect a change in opinion, but a few were removed altogether. But as of right now, this is blog post number 2,553.
  • On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you enjoy blogging? I would give it an 8/10, mostly because there are times when the posts flow and it is a fun and creative experience, but then there are other times when it is harder to find the right words. All in all, it is something that I enjoy and something that adds meaning to my life. 
If you have a blog of your own, be sure to answer some of these tag questions in the comment section below or on your own blog. And to all readers, past and present, thank you for making the creation of beauty is art. a small piece of your path.

  2. Happy Blog Birthday. Amazing :-D

    I started my nail polish Blogs in the summer of 2011 so 14 like yourself! Jeez our Blogs are teenagers haha! The photo Blog is only a few years old.

    I follow a lot of people who follow me and a lot that don't.

    I enjoy Blogging and try to do it most days. I aim to post a photo everyday and a nail polish every few days between the 2 Blogs. So probably 9 or 10 out of 10 for me. :-D
