A Re-Introduction Of Sorts

Hello. It’s been so long, you probably forgot who I am. Well, let me reintroduce myself in case you forgot.

I’m Keyerra and I am the 25 year-old, still learnin’, just wingin’ it (everything but my eyeliner) Key behind So This Is The Key.

These past few months have been very rough. I was given an ultimatum and essentially forced into quitting my job, which led me to getting two jobs to compensate for the loss of my job. My bills fell behind and I was extremely depressed, so my blog sadly fell to the back burner. While I took this time off, I worked on myself and tried to get inspiration for different projects, blog posts, and an eventual YouTube channel that I had wanted to start for a while. I have learned so many things and met so wonderful people these past few months that have inspired and driven me to be my better self. Turning 25 has made me want to take the plunge to do things that I have always wanted to do; traveling, finishing school, moving out of Maryland, and anything that I want to set my mind to. I want this blog to be so much more than beauty. I want it to showcase my growth and how I plan on taking more chances and doing more with life than sitting behind a computer screen wishing for so much more.

I am so excited to revamp this blog and to launch my YouTube channel as a fun outlet to my hectic life. So, now that I’ve introduced myself to you, I cannot wait to take on this new journey.

So, Who Is The Key

Hello! My name is Keyerra, also known as Key, and this is my blog for expressing my love of all things makeup, beauty, style, and anything else that I feel I should discuss.

Me on my birthday two weeks ago. I was so excited to have a sombrero!

Let me state a little disclaimer: I am nowhere near eligible to be a makeup artist, beauty guru, or style icon; I just love beauty and style as a hobby. I can spend hours watching beauty and style videos on YouTube, just getting completely lost in how amazing each look is and how everyone has their own take on different products. It’s absolutely amazing to me.

I was worried that being 24 was too old to start blogging; that this was something that you started in your teens and became a staple by your early twenties. However, my friends gave me the confidence to start this blog as a new hobby and I am very excited to start this new venture. I love talking about beauty and style, so much so that I wanted to start writing it.

On my 22nd birthday, attempting to lock down the sexy pout. Did I do it right?
P.S. Kylie Jenner got her overdrawn lip inspiration from me.

I got into makeup and beauty around four years ago, after I went through a rough breakup. Before that, I had never cared much about how I looked. I played sports in high school and found myself living in sweatpants and workout clothes. Not that there is anything wrong with sweatpants and workout clothes, but it seems to become a problem when you have two drawers full of sweatpants in your room. Dressing up for me was wearing a plaid button down, jeans, and flip flops. What was the meaning of a dress? I had no idea until I got to college. After my breakup, I decided that I wanted to try to learn how to use makeup, do my hair, and started experimenting with developing a sense of style. My style is always changing and I am always developing new loves or every day staples, so I figured that sharing this with others with the same passion would be a great outlet for me.

When I am not running this blog, I also run another blog with two best friends of mine called A Witty Threesome. That blog contains rather personal posts from the three of us and is a great outlet for me to talk about posts that are more opinionated and deeper than your typical beauty post, so I started this blog because I felt these posts would be out of place on AWT.

I am so excited to share this experience with everyone. I hope that you find as much enjoyment reading about my views on different products as I enjoy talking about it every Monday at noon EST!
