ABOUT THE LOVE LIST

After starting this blog in 2009 and several name changes, the blog is still here with its own domain but the reason for its existence have shifted yet once again.  I'm your hungry for what life brings kind of woman but also moonlights as the average girl next door.  I'm fortunate to do many great things within my community. Three educational degrees later, I found my life's calling which is working with children and families.  I'm married to my career, but I'm a lover of life.

I used to be a lifestyle blogger who ventured on YouTube for a little while as a hobby.  In 2016, I transitioned both my Instagram and Blog, "Happy Hour 24/7", which focused on beauty, skincare, lifestyle and positive living, which is doing what makes you happy, 24/7.  Towards the end of 2019, another transition happened and The Lovelist was born.  Similar to its former name, The Lovelist focuses on finding love in life, whatever form they maybe.  For me, one of them is beauty + skincare.  Promoting what you love instead of bashing what you hate is something I try to practice.  In other words, life is too short to focus on negativity.  In o

I am an L.A. girl who loves sports, travel, electronic gadgets, living a healthy lifestyle and anything makeup/beauty and skincare related products - hence the existence of this blog.  I enjoy using high-end, luxury and affordable beauty and skincare products and being able to share my thoughts and opinions about them.  I used to have extremely sensitive skin and could not use many popular drugstore and high-end brands and relied a lot on reviews on blogs and YouTube back in the day.  Now that my skin has been more tolerable to a variety of product ingredients, it makes me happy to be able to do reviews and help out those who may need more information about a specific product.
