Why I Stopped Beauty Blogging After 3+ Years

Back in June, I made a post explaining that due to a hectic summer internship, I would be taking a an unexpected hiatus until September.

I haven't made a post since then. It's January.

It's not that I haven't thought about writing a post. It's not even that I haven't felt like writing a post. But I sort of dropped off the face of the Earth (even in social media), and I thought you all deserved a reason as to why--or a whole post, in fact.

Where Have I Been?

Hi friends! I know it's been awhile since we last talked. How have you been? I've missed you!

There's a reason for my lengthy absence! I've been doing an intensive internship for the past month (and I mean intense--some days I'm gone for 14 hours), and it's taking up so much more time than I ever would have thought. Unfortunately, that severely cuts into my blogging time. I don't foresee myself being able to regularly churn out blog posts this summer, which is a huge letdown considering I love this blog, but I'll do my best to check in when I can.

I return home at the very end of August, so come September everything should return back to normal. Hang in there, guys! I'll be back in no time, with plenty of things to share with you! I'm counting down the weeks. See you soon!

What are you doing for Christmas this year?

Two Week Blogging Hiatus!?

Hello, friends! I am unfortunately not here with a fun, new post, but rather a quick update. The Beauty Buff Blog will be going on a short two-week hiatus. Why you ask? Well...

• My laptop is broken

AKA...

1. Typing on a tablet sucks and is very slow
2. The Internet does not like mobile anything
3. I cannot insert my camera-s SD card into my tablet 
4. Resulting in terrible or nonexistent photos

Also:

• My internship is finishing up

AKA...

1. I work a lot of hours, six days a week?
2. I barely have any free time to write (or photograph inevitably terrible pictures)
3. On my one day off I like to not be working (I know, what a bum, right?)

And finally, the most important:

• I don't like putting out posts I'm not proud of.

AKA...

1. I stumbled through last week's post. 
2. Blog posts without nice pictures makes everything look poorly done and dirty. I like to at least try to have good pictures (And they'll be even better with my new camera)!
3. I want to put out posts with substance, not ones that are short just because I got tired of typing on a tablet.

I know this post might seem very whiny and me-me-me to some of you, but I just wanted to bring all of you up to speed. I thought you all had the right to know why there wouldn't be any posts for a bit. Because you guys matter so much to me, and I wouldn't want to churn out crappy posts just to stay active! 

In two weeks, my internship will be over, and I'm hoping my laptop will be fixed. And then I will be back to producing quality content on this blog! 

How is life going for you lately? Hopping aboard the #strugglebus with me? Hm... "The StruggleBus with Sammi." It worries me how catchy that sounds.

College Beauty Buff has moved!

Hi, friends!

Just a quick update. You may have seen on the blog's Facebook page that the College Beauty Buff blog has gotten a bit of a makeover. It's still the same blog, just with a fresh, new look. Being that I'm graduating college in less than two months, I figured it was time for a change. The new official URL is www.sammithebeautybuff.com, but don't worry--the old URL will take you there in case you forget!

Tomorrow's post will be my March Birchbox review, so don't miss it!

College Beauty Buff is 2 Years Old Today!

Can you believe it's been two year already? Two years ago, I was a sophomore in college bored on a train, and now here I am! It's crazy!

Thank you for all of your support. I really love chatting with you about all things beauty! I learn new things everyday!

Here's to another great year!

Let's be friends!

Hey, friends! I had a real post scheduled for today, but due to some technical difficulties, I had to postpone it. Until then, I just wanted to shoot a reminder out about two exciting things happening on my blog right now.
