Hello guys,
It is not the exact day that I started Nichellexoxo and put up my first post, but I still wanted to do this post, however, because I really wanted to take a moment and have a real sit down talk to you guys. Of course, I had to add a tag too!

Why I Started Blogging
I started blogging to get out of my shell because I didn't like how my shyness was hindering me in my everyday life, let a lone important times where I want my voice to be heard. I also wanted to meet people who have the same interest as me. I do believe that I have gotten out of my shell-- I have completed a lot of first and done some things that I haven't ever thought I would do like collabs and lookbooks. I am not at the point where I want to be, but I don't believe I have far to go. I also have met so many bloggers that I have made connections with and love!
Why I love it
Besides obtaining the goals I have set for myself at the beginning of starting my blog, I have also found my blog to be an outlet of expression. I talk about more than just makeup, hair, and fashion. I can concentrate on my movie addiction, my love for books and learning, expanding my lifestyle and world views. I feel like my blog has grown with me and I like that. It has also been a wonderful platform to expand my interest in computer technology and coding.
What I have learned
I have learned that my opinion actually matters. Before planting the seed that has become Nichellexoxo, I used to think that no one would pay attention to me or care what I have to say, but I have found that you guys are so loving and agree with me and actually do pay attention to what I have to say. I also have found that I have greater support system than I originally thought. After my family found out about my blog, they were super supportive and loving. They made great suggestions and promoted me.
Beauty Blogger Tag
1. How long does it take to do your makeup in the morning?
It takes roughly 15- 20 minutes with putting in my contacts then doing my eyes, concealer, powder, and lips.
2. Will you leave the house without makeup on?
Yes, and I have many times. Ain't nobody got time to be doing all that work every single day! :D
3. How often do you change your handbag?
Not very often. I just bought my 2nd handbag after owning my first steve madden one for 2 1/2 years. I tend to just get a good sized, neutral one and wear it out!
4. How did you come up with your blog name?
To be honest, I didn't put a lot of effort into thinking about my blog name because I didn't realize the importance of it. I just used my middle name and added xoxo to it because I use it all the time! <33
5. How often do you change your nail polish?
Only when I feel like it or want them to look decent for a special event. Yet I collect a lot of nail polishes because I love the colors and glitters.
6. Do you collect makeup or buy what you need?
Usually buy what I need unless there is something I really want to try or I am gifted something. I don't buy things for packaging (but it is a bonus) and I throw away things that I don't like.
7. Name a beauty regimen you rarely do?
I have just gotten into doing my brows like two days ago, but I rarely ever do it. I do find that it makes or break the face, I just haven't found the products I really love to go through the hassle of doing them everyday.
8. What is your worst beauty habit?
I bite the heck out of the skin around my nails and my actual nail. I don't know why, but I really need to stop.
9. Name a non-beauty thing do you put off doing all the time.
Laundry. In fact, I am procrastinating doing my laundry right now by writing this post
