Hi! Oh, I missed the Life In LA vlogs. But I understand how life can get so overwhelmed at times. Just be encouraged beautiful and know that we your Paper and Glam family love you very much and truly appreciate all you do. You have truly been a source of encouragement to my life and I thank you for that. I am praying for you and may God continue to bless you and your family. Missed Sunday too-so nice to see him again! 😃🌹❤
Hi Gina! Thank you...you can usually find the tube lights on a great sale after Christmas and they give such a polished look. Sunday has such unbridled joy, I have a lot to learn from that little girl. Lots of love going out to you, sister!
So great to see you again, Lisa Marie!! Thanks for sharing your pep talk with us; we totally understand how you are feeling! Just keep up the glam work and remember to relax and rest every now and then! (it is hard but necessary!!!!). All my love from Panama ♡
YES. Love you, LM. It's so good to see your face. You are absolutely right. Nobody said it was easy. Currently taking a break from the grind and totally understand how you're feeling. Thanks for the pep talk! Also- there's a seasonal living fb group?!?!
Hi Beth! Sometimes a break is what's needed. I just took a 6 month break after about 13 years of RISE & GRIND, GLAM SO HARD. Sometimes a break is needed to get clarity and simply rest mind, body, and spirit. We're not meant to run in 5th gear for years on end. Enjoy your beak and thank you for always taking the time to leave a comment! Oh yes, join us! Link is in the box above. Xoxo, Lm
Paper & Glam Of course, my friend! Unfortunately my break was only a weekend long and I'm back at it this morning but I'm trying to add in more short breaks so I don't go so long on empty. ❤
Love seeing your blogs! You are so right, no one said it would be easy, and maybe that's why when things fall into place, we can stand back for a sec and acknowledge, be grateful for the easy things in our lives. Right now I am super grateful I have a few days off before the grind of my job again. So happy to be taking in your vlog as I relax. Much love and light to you always :)
So glad to see a vlog from you. Thank you for the pep talk. Needed to hear that. Putting it in my planner--'Nobody said it was easy'!! Have a great week!!!
I am in my last month of grad school, working a very stressful full-time job, moving, and attempting to get my finances in order -- needless to say, I fully agree with you! Nobody said it was easy, but it sure is worth it :) Loved the video!
Ohhh good! And spoiler alert, a new one from this weekend is uploading! Who knows when she'll finally go live but it's in progress. Thanks for remembering me, I'm still here! haha Hugs from LA!
I'm SO happy you're back!!! Lisamarie we missed you! Honestly couldn't believe it when I saw a new uploaded vlog! So true 'Nobody said it was easy' for sure & such a good reminder too of that narrow path Matt 7:14 😊 loving you all the way from Australia xo Anoushka & family
Hi Lisamarie- so happy to see you and for a vlog. I love that Cali is your backdrop now that your back on home turf. awww Sunday Bear! Love her pink tag too! :-)
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Things are so disjointed in my life right now and I find myself asking God why can't it just work together? But I do understand that no one said it would be easy so I just have to keep working and knowing my reward is coming! Miss your vids, it was good seeing this one!
Yay! It's so nice to see your face, LisaMarie! Girl, take all the time you need. We'll still be here ready to watch your videos. Still hoping you can make the trek to Japan this year. I'll help you get some real mochi. ;)
I think I needed to hear this today. It is definitely a struggle mixing family, work, life, self-care and it's frustrating that plenty of times one thing or another kind of falls apart. I think taking a minute (and a breath) and then just getting back to it is all we can do because you're right, nobody said it was easy. We have to take care of ourselves but also we just have to push through and go for what we want.
aww yay, another video & it's a vlog! lol like the 'nobody said it was easy' anecdote. & yes, I want to do all the things as well. We'll get it done, tho! Excited that today is the 1st day of spring! (currently 12:15am lol)
YAY!! This was so fun to watch. I grew up in Pasadena, so this brought me right back home. I absolutely love Colorado, but I always miss my home town. It's funny how I left all the TV, and celebs...and now I'm on RU-vid. I'm totally with you on trying to have a life, and career. Thank you so much for sharing. This video is just what I needed tonight! xoxo Bonnie
Every time I watch your videos I feel happier and inspired to work hard. I know that you want to do so much but sometimes when we are creating something we refuse to delegate some of the responsibilities to other people. it is something I am working to improve on, to be able to not feel that I have to do everything myself. I just wanted to share that with you. Thank you for all your hard work, God bless you.
Ah I need those "nobody said it was easy" stickers!! I jsut received my first set out stickers in February and you are so right about the quality of them. They are amazing!! I am sefinitely going to start buying more regularly (well once I come back from my holiday in April). Anyway, my point is that your hard work on Paper & Glam is appreciated!! (Stacey from New Zealand).
Yay! Keep going beautiful. It's all just for a season. This isn't forever so keep going and doing what you do so well but also take time to sip lattes and rest. 😉
Thanks for sharing! Ive missed your vlogs. Im hoping your starting to find balance in all you do. And your right, nothing worth having is easy! You are workin it! Just be sure to take care of YOU. Xoxo
So good to see you & Sunday! Even though you are younger than me I look up to you being a young, modern woman & entrepreneur. You are always so positive in your videos. Miss the seasonal hauls but that's also probably good for my budget! 💛
Hey girlfriend, oh I hear you on the seasonal hauls! I haven't been "hauling" anything as of late to help with the budget. I do have a Spring Home Decor Haul and a Spring Candle Haul coming this week *fingers crossed* I get to both! :) Thank you for hanging out with me!
I love your vlogs. Thank you for the pep talk I totally needed it. You're right nobody said it was easy. I'm getting my mint mani this week 😊 looking forward to you approving my request to join your fb book club group. Thank you for all you do for your glamfam 😘xx
What a great reminder for everyone who is going through these temporary difficulties/setbacks! I'd like to talk to you about something - what would be the best way? Email?
