Tropical Storm Fay has FINALLY made its way though Florida now, which means I no longer have to sit here waiting to see what this storm the size of Florida is going to do. We were extremely lucky with the storm. We barely lost power, only for a few hours today and randomly last night. I think part of that is because I live a couple of houses down from the Fire and Police Station, so we are on the same grid.
Damage wise, we had some flooding in our yard and driveway, but the roads weren’t flooded, just some standing water. We also had some things blown around in the back yard, but nothing major was damaged or destroyed. We did have some branches break, but that was pretty insignificant. I live a couple a blocks away from the Beach, but they city officials did not even put up a voluntary evacuation for us.
If you follow hurricanes / tropical storms you will see that Fay was an extremely odd T.S. It’s very rare for a storm to hit North Florida, and Fay sat on the coast for about three days before finally coming onto land and crossing the state. Here is the interesting thing, Fay did not lose strength or gain strength while sitting in the ocean practically stationary.
So in a nutshell, this was one of those weeks for me, and most of the people in the state of Florida. I was really lucky when it came to damages, but many people weren’t. I believe seven people died during the storm in the Jacksonville area, and probably more in other parts of the state. I’m just glad that this storm is over and hopefully it won’t take too long for the city to dry out and for the power and cable to be restored to the entire state.

For my very first post, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself and to explain why I have decided to start my own beauty blog. My name is Share, but I usually go by Phantom Goddess in most forums online. I am 22 yrs old and I recently graduated from the University of Florida in Gainesville where I studied Religion and Classics, which is the study of the Ancient Greek and Roman worlds. It was during my two years at college where my obsession with all things beauty kicked into high gear!
As I was growing up, I was always interested in makeup, but it never completely grabbed my attention, I was always more interested in books as a teenager and I never really cared about the latest collection from MAC or what the newest must have product was. It was in the beginning of 2007 that I became really interested in all things beauty and when I get interested in something, I want to learn everything I can about my new found obsession. So throughout the past year I have slaved over the internet and the department store counters sucking up as much information as I possibly could to fill my endless craving for beauty.
It was through my insatiable thirst for knowledge that I developed my own thoughts and understandings of the beauty world, like everyone else I discovered my favorite brands and products, and even made some friends along the way. During my quest I came across the website MakeUp Talk and I became a member of that forum last June. Since then I have made so many discoveries and friends during my short time on the site. Now I am one of the moderators on the forum, which is a position that I love and enjoy very much, even though at times it is a little exasperating. LOL!
I hope my little ramble about my life gives you, dear reader insight into my life and who I am. It is my hope for this blog to share my thoughts on the beauty world and to hopefully introduce you to products that you may have overlooked in the past. My reasoning is this, there is more to makeup than MAC, even though MAC is one of my favorite brands!
