Deciding to blog...

Inspired my my sister and many fellow Makeupalley.com users I have decided to start a blog. I think Crazy for the Love of Makeup sums me up well; as Makeup (which for some reason I always feel the need to capitalize even in the middle of a sentence) is my favorite thing and I try to be as open as possible about the fact that I have a mental illness. I try to bring as much kind humour to having a mental illness as possible in my hopes of snuffing out as much of the stigma and misconceptions many people have of people with mental illness as I possibly can. I know most people who have a mental illness try to hide the fact they do. I am of the opinion that we should have t-shirts made that we can wear out that say "I have a mental illness and am a fully functioning member of society" I'd like a tshirt like that along with a big hot pink badge that says "I am addicted to makeup and am a full fledged MUA'er"
