Finding Yourself Through A Pandemic...
Where do I begin...2020 has been quite a fuckin year! Through all the craziness, this pandemic has allowed me to face many fears. One being finally deciding to leave my "stable" job of 6 years (Did I mention WITH benefits?) to rediscover myself and fully commit to working on my own business (Missvintagegold).

That being said, sometimes you just need a minute to detox, regroup and treat yourself to a little "me time". With everything going on including us being on lockdown for the past few months, these times have allowed us girls to get creative when it comes to our beauty regimens. Although businesses are slowly starting to reopen now, some of us aren't quite ready to take that chance yet. One of the biggest beauty trends I have been seeing all across the internet, has been the popular demand for press on nails. That's right girls... PRESS ON NAILS! You remember?
