So, how YOU doin'?
Hello all you social media users out there! Yes, I know yet another blog!So, where do I begin? Well, I could start on the WHY I started a blog in the first place. The thing is that I don’t have many reasons let alone a good one. I just thought that I could make use of this platform to express whatever it is that needs to be expressed. I guess I’m just one of the gazillions of people out there doing the same.
I guess I always secretly wanted to be part of this hype, but I never had the courage to publish to the world what I was thinking or doing. I discouraged the use of social media, until I became heavily addicted myself! Way to practice what you preach ha?
Well, I always wanted to create a travel blog and I think I was about 20 or 21 or maybe even younger when I sort of started one on my 500 year old MySpace account – that didn’t work out too well- you never heard of it right? LOL! Besides, I am a student on a budget and I don’t travel as much as I would like. However, in the last few years I’ve been to some amazing places and those I would love to share with you!
Bon, you’re probably wondering who in the name of the Lord is this blabbermouth (fingers in this case) talking about??? well shake my hand and look me in the eye because I am Shainah [sha-hie-nah] which is a Yiddish name, a variation of the Hebrew Shayna and the Arab Shahina. It means beautiful and princess depending on which variation you choose. I go by many nicknames and for this particular occasion (blog) let’s keep it clean and simple and I shall call myself Sha. Benefits everyone’s tongues and brains for trying to pronounce that name right?!
I am 25 years old and I’m a 3rd and last year student of International Communication and Management at The Hague University in the Netherlands. I made the decision to move to Holland for my studies in 2007 and hopefully I will be graduating in 2011. So, I’m really excited about that!
I was born and raised on the tiny island of Curacao in the Caribbean Sea; with my dear parents and older sister. I am very close to my sister, she is one of my best friends, and I admire her a lot. Oh, and one very important “person” in my life, is my best friend, the only one who truly understands me, my beloved half Jack Russel half Chihuahua, Benji! J
I recently have been encouraged by some very special people in my life (AHUM!) to start a blog. Apparently, they believe that what I do and say is in a way to be shared with all of you.

Well brace yourself. J
At a very young age I discovered that I had a passion for writing. I would always write my thoughts and ideas, not necessarily in proper English, in journals. I could write all day and all night; some of my adventures, experiences and even heartbreaks. Some of which would somehow turn into my idea of a poem. But I always followed a strict rule about my writings … just because no one understands you doesn’t make you poetic, for which reason I never actually published any of them.
So, years have passed by and I discovered many sides of my intricate Libra personality. I enjoy many things in life and I wanted to focus on the ones that give me the most pleasure on this blog.
So, that’s the main idea behind this blog, sharing with you pleasures of life, in a way that only I can. Providing you with my knowledge and my take on things, giving you an idea of how life is for a student in the Netherlands. But most of all I would like to make use of this platform to share my increasing passion and admiration for make up and make up artistry.
It is the main reason of me starting a blog, and yet it is not my only focus.
I have developed and tremendous amount of interest in make-up, and I started collecting make-up I was around 17 years old, without much use for it because I was a real tomboy and didn’t think much of it. Nevertheless, I NEVER threw away anything. I still have some old blushes and eyeshadows that I just don’t have the heart to throw out. I know that they’re old and I can’t use them because I will breakout.. but come on.. They have real sentimental value to me.. ( I will post pictures of them).

I must say in advanced I am NOT (yet) a professional make-up artist but aspiring to become one. I realize that I have much to learn and I am trying to do as much as I can; juggling school, work and a passion for make-up is really hard work!
Thankfully, I have the most amazing family and friends, and my beloved pet Benji, who support me and are behind me for whatever it is I choose to do, after I graduate from school ! yyaaaayy!!

I think my introduction is a little bit all over the place, but that’s just how my personality is. I’m a little bit of this and a little bit of that! After a few blog posts you will be able to follow..
I wanted to start a more structural approach, how I was taught to write.. But I’m doing this Shainah style.. So keep up, or get out! J
