Extra, Extra! Read All About It! (First blog post ever!)

For those who may follow me in the future, I thought I would start off with a blog post about my blog name.

You may be thinking 'What the heck is up with your blog name?  Are you a hillbilly pageant queen?' Actually, no...I am not.  I am a 21-year-old from the Midwest region of the U.S., Michigan to be exact.  My small town has a population of less than 3,000 people and probably 60% of those people hunt, fish, or do something outdoorsy.  I fish once in a blue moon, honestly I would love to go fishing more often, but I don't want to fish alone...can you blame me?  I don't hunt...yet! I am going to take hunter's safety sometime this spring so that I can start deer hunting in the fall.  I have been wanting to take up hunting since I was in high school, but I didn't really have any land to do it on, and this past summer I had a friend tell me I could hunt with him.  I consider myself pretty outdoorsy.  I love camping, riding quads, sitting around a bonfire, boating, and such.  So that this where the first part of my blog name, 'Camouflage', came from...my country up-bringing.

Now, about that last part, 'Glitter'...I really don't wear anything glittery,  but I thought that would be a good "girly" word to throw into my blog name.  While I do enjoy camping, fishing and wear jeans and a hoodie(or a t-shirt...depends on the weather) 80% of the time, I like to get dressed up once a while, too!  I am pretty good at putting "my face"(makeup on), and I like wearing dressy shirts and sometimes dresses and heels to go out to bars.  When I get all dolled up I feel great.  But nothing ends a night better than going home, scrubbing all the makeup off my face, throwing my hair into a messy ponytail and putting on my comfy sweats. :)

And so 'Camouflage & Glitter' was born.
