Hi My name Is Erin. I am a 31 year old female. My life story is what this blog page was originally for,but Once I started getting lots of free samoles and free boxes of product to review from companys It sorta took a detour. I am still going to make a blog about myself and maybe I'll have enough courage to make a intro vlog on youtube. but for right now I am writing reviews for anything I get in the mail that I am asked to do a review about. I was hoping to get a few free subscription boxes to review because Ive been watching unboxings where people post how they got it sent to them for free to review, so I am trying my hand at it. here are some Fun or interesting facts about me: 1.I have more life experiences then people twice my age. 2. I enjoy fashion mags, mens mags because it updates me on things. 3. I have been without a actuall pt or fulltime job since march 2009. 4. I briefly worked as a extra in three movies: Sexting in suburbia( lifetime picked it up),Ri.p.d. and another Worcester based film. I enjoy acting because its a break from reality. 5.I survived things only Disney movies and lifetime movies and horror movies talk about. 6. I have 9 toes, why? I had a school accident in may 1992 where my elementary schools slate shingles where loose and one fell on my foot. my principal was a dingus. h\after my school yard friends helped up 6 flights of stairs to the nurse/ principals the principal put my foot in a bucket and it soon became a bucket of blood. I took my bloody shoe off. I was in shock. so I don't rememeber every detail, and his will surprise you, until the shooting rampages schools never called 911 for a emergency. my principal wanted it to stay quiet so he called my mom with my 1 yr old sister in tow to bring me to the hospital ( it woulda been nice to have a police escort back then) my mom doesn't remember how we got to the hospital. I was rushed into surgery because of the fact my whole right foot was cut open. no gas mask for me, they operated on me and I felt every needle and stitch( over 50) to sew my foot shut. it took 10 people to hold me down mind u I was 9 yrs old. to me this was as close to the pain level woman have giving birth. we learned that after 2 weeks my baby toe was infected with gange green and if they didn't operate soon I wouldn't just lose my toe but my whole foot. so I had two major surgeries at 9 yrs old. and my chances of doing what I loved :9dancing ballet & tap) was a pipe dream because I would never have the balance I once had. I had to give up my dance and tap classes because of the accident the school didn't want to cause me anymore harm. or be at fault. 7. the following year outside my home up the hill in Oct.1993 I was running across the street and because the top of the hill didn't have a stop sign I was struck by a lady in her car I rolled up her windshield onto her roof and then flew 40 feet down the hill. some how I got up from the street because I was afraid of getting hit by cars coming up the street. like a injured dog, then I passed out. I didn't have a single broken bone or fracture how ever my skull took the brunt of my accident. I had very long hair and nobody knew but I was bleeding from the back of my head. my mom told me it was bad. my auint and cousin came to the hospital and I asked my cousin to hold my hand and she passed out. my poor body as a child went through ALOT of trauma. Ive had a therapist since I was 5. so these two accidents I didn't really think or reflect of how bad they where til later on. I had my scalp stapled shut. un a left u-shape. 8. I HAD emergency brain surgery in march 2004 because my primary care told me I was sick with a cold or a flu for a year when Infact I was dying from a bleeding tumor. according to the surgon he doesn't know how I survived as long as I did. the surgery left me with yet another scar this tie my top of my scalp to my knap of my neck and its deep. for the past 10 yrs Ive always asked myself why Am I alive? whats my purpose in this life. my recovery sucked. it took me 5 months to actually hold down any fluid even a iv drip. I was at the exercist level of vomit. I learned I have extreme motion sickness and also that I have a weak or sensitive stomach. I had to relearn to walk again.the down side to having a tumor on your cerebellum and brain stem is that my motor funtions will be affected,my balance is a constant issue. and my poor sort term memory is like drew Barrymore in 50 1st dates. if It not written down I wont remember it.the past is like a film roll in my head. the other side effects, I developed bells palsy due to the stress of losing my job in mach 2009. I also have a hard time getting my body to cooperate when getting off the floor. I struggle with day to day things. I also find it hard to date too. as of oct.2014 I became homeless. because I took a deal from my lawyer whom I trusted to help me get the best deal possible. Unlike other people I don't get a monthly allotment from ssi, I got a lump sum. so now I HAVENOCHOICE but to find a job.that will allow me to sit for the majority of the day. 9.Ive lived through dometic violence throughout my life. til 2014 I have been a victim of verbal and physical domestic violence. 10. I was kidnapped and abused when I was 5-6 by my aunt. in2014 its finally realized that its not just complete strangers who take ur kids but someone u know and trusted had a secret agenda to take a child, your child. its either a sick minded family member or a family friend. I watch the news everyday and how aunt's, uncles, fathers, mothers even grandparents kidnap or kil there family. or run away with them.... I still struggle with the fact of on top of my freak accidents and surgeries that I also have other drama on my plate. anyone I tell my story to cant swallow it. its insane what I have been through. I have advice about almost everything exept, being married and baring a child. I have not been in a healthy or long term relationship in years. because I will not repeat my past. this is my blog. this is my background story. but its not the whole story..this is just some tidbits... I am also doing a Gofund me page because Unlike the dozens of people who wants you to fund there dreams, I want help funding me back to having a place to stay and not having to rely on extended family to help me in 2015. Im lucky enough to get food stamps and eadc while I can....
1. Get Inspired
When you're thinking of starting a blog, let anything and everything inspire you. Whatever you're passionate about should be the focus. It can be especially helpful to look at all different kinds of blogs (like Wordpress, Tumblr, Weebly, Blogger, or SquareSpace) to decide which kind of blog is right for you. Bloggers with photography backgrounds might lean towards one platform, while true journalists maybe lean towards another. No matter what platform you decide, remember everything can be customized. So don't feel tied down by pre-made templates!
2. Take the Plunge.
It seems silly, but even if you don't know exactly what you want to do sign up! Many of the blog sites are free to join and use, so you won't have to worry about membership fees or anything like that. Giving your blog a title (even if it doesn't excatly exist yet) is a sure fire way to get you excited about posting.
3. Have a Plan.
Choosing a theme is half the battle, but then try and make a distinct plan of the type of content you want to focus on. An easy way to ensure your blog will be entertaining is to choose topics that you are truly passionate about. When you're not totally engaged or true to yourself, your readers will be able to tell. That being said, they will also be able to tell when you are being authentic and enthusiastic. So don't hold back!
4. Make a Commitment.
Choosing what to write about might be easy for you. Perhaps you have an endless well of inspiration... More likely though, you're struggling to come up with topics. Either way, make a commitment to your blog. Whether that is posting once a day or once a month, make a realistic commitment to your blog, and stick to it.
5. Be Yourself!
Above all, be yourself. There is only ONE you in the entire world. Share your unique thoughts, musings, experiences, and everything else in between. Being yourself is a straightforward way to create quality, engaging, and honest content. Who can best drive the vision of your blog? Well, you of course! If you let your personality shine through in your blog, chances are you will be happy with the result.
