Welcome to Fluent in Living

Hi to my followers new and slightly less new. I'm Mikayla and I just want to take the time to tell you a little bit about me and my blog.

I have finally decided to take the plunge and start my own lifestyle blog. I have been wanting to make a blog since I was 11 years old. Growing up, I was obsessed with magazines and always thought it would be so cool to have a blog where I could make my own mini-magazine about things I'm interested in. The problem with starting one up is that I'm a perfectionist and I wanted to have the look of my blog to be a certain way before I got started. Due to my lack of coding skill this took longer than expected, but I am happy to say with the help from some people who are way better at coding than me, I finally have a template that I can work with!

I have a few ideas I have been thinking about for a while now, but long story short I want this to be a place where I can talk about makeup, the thing I love to do, while also talking about other things like movies/tv shows, books, things I buy, and my life in general.

I want to end this first post by saying a little about myself, although I'm sure if you're seeing this you already know me. I'm a 20 year old college student who is currently studying to be a ASL interpreter. This means I spend a lot of time around deaf people and going to events involving deaf people. I have a boyfriend named Marshall who will pop up on here a lot because he is my best friend and we probably hang out a little too much, in fact he came up with the original name for the blog (theside-eye). I live in Ohio and I love it here 95% of the time. I work at a children's museum where I teach kid's about language. I probably watch every movie and tv show ever, it's a serious problem. The most important thing though is I've always been a creator. Whether its drawing, painting, writing, or decorating. I have a constant need to make this world a prettier place!

I changed the name of this blog to Fluent in Living because I just love finding little life hacks that make life easier and sometimes prettier.

That's a little about me! Feel free to look around and talk with me!
