Hey guys! I know it’s been FOREVER since I even logged on to Tumblr but there’s something I feel like I need to be honest with you guys about. I only hope you guys who really know me from my vids/ tweets will understand. 

First of all, don’t worry! LOL The vids are still coming, no problems there. However, in the past few weeks I’ve made a big decision. Pretty much a life-changing decision (in some ways at least). I, Lady Luna, have decided that I am not going back to college in the fall. I haven’t graduated, although I did complete four years of fair grades, no flunking-out or anything like that. Now before you go telling me this is a horrible idea and I’m young/ naive blah blah blah, LOL… I thought that too at first. Here’s the thing though. I WAS NOT HAPPY THERE. When I say “not happy” I mean VERY depressed. My outlook on life was horrible!! I got up every morning and went to learn things I didn’t care about, work toward a career that I never really wanted, and be around people that were ENTIRELY different from me. Not bad people, I was the one that wasn’t adjusting well. I loved my first few years there, but around my junior year I just started getting into this funk that I couldn’t shake. Soon the thought of leaving home even one more time was my ultimate doom for the next four months that I would spend away. 

Don’t get me wrong, I encourage everyone to consider college. If you want to be a teacher, doctor, lawyer, or the head honcho of a big corporation, that pretty much requires education, which is fine… if that’s the career you WANT. :) I had been letting people tell me my whole life what they wanted me to be. I had and STILL have a dream of being a writer (and now a YouTube partner, LOL) but SOOO many people have told me I could never make a living being creative. I had to do something “practical”. Teachers were the ones I heard this from the most, believe it or not. 

Anyway, I don’t want to say I’m quitting, because my education isn’t really ending. I’m applying for jobs in a HUGE variety of places that apply to my skills, and ALL of them sound better to me than the career choices college was offering me. So what do I have to lose? I am a hard worker if it is something I am good at and truly involved in. I will scrub toilets if it means I can work my way up to the job I love in the end. I want to EARN this with my own two hands and not worry about everyone else’s opinion of my abilities anymore. 

I hope everyone understands that college really was a great experience for me and I am so glad that I went for those four years, but now I know myself better. After much self assessment, praying, and weighing out my options, I KNEW my decision was the right one. My family has been more than open and supportive and are helping me get out into the real world. 

I love you guys so much. Thanks so much for always being there and supporting me. :)

Oh, and this means I will have a lot more freedom over the content and quality of videos I make for YouTube!! YAY!!! :D

Hey guys, so I REALLY need some advice from all of you. I have gotten to a comfortable place on my main youtube channel (ladylunafication) where I do sketches, spoofs, and other stuff like that (and the videos are still going to improve from there). However, I really want to start a regular vlogging schedule during my week so I can further connect with you guys and you’ll get to see a little more of the real Lady Luna behind all my planned videos. I haven’t been using my second channel (ladylunafication2) for a while because it’s currently a beauty channel and I’m working on making a new, more professional beauty channel that will be more separate from my “lady luna” comedy. I’m wondering if it would be ok with you guys if I use my second channel as my new vlog channel?? I mean I’ll still talk about beauty on there from time to time, but I will also direct all my beauty subscribers to my new and improved beauty channel so they can still watch those vids too. PLEASE give me some feedback, whether I already know you or not. I will only do what you guys want to see. Thanks so much for supporting me all this way. Love you all! <3

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my future. I get so scared at times of my ultimate doom: ending up with no job, no money, no home, and no loved ones around me to hold my hand through it all. I know it’s a bit ridiculous to worry so much, but I guess we all get that way at times. 

I’m going to be finishing college by about this time next year, and I have NO idea where I’m going to go for work immediately after. My dream currently is to become a professional fashion blogger and a fulltime YouTube partner. (Again, I said this was just my DREAM, I don’t know for sure if it will come true, as AMAZING as that would be!!) Not to mention, I would love to get a novel published, as I’m almost finished writing my first one. 

The thing is, everything I want seems so out of reach that lately I’ve been reevaluating myself to a very overcritical and unfair degree. I work hard for things I love, and I shouldn’t underestimate my own abilities and future blessings.

I started thinking about how a sculpture is made. The artist looks at a plain block of marble or clay, and even in its plain, dull form, the artist is able to see the beautiful sculpture hiding beneath whatever pieces are to be chipped away later.  The artist sees the potential and beauty inside before anyone else believes it can be anything special.

I hate to sound slightly religious about this, but I know that God is our sculptor, and he’s still chipping away at my “rough edges” in my life. As long as I’m doing what I’m supposed to and trusting him, I realize I have no need to worry. Bad things may come along now and then, but good things will ultimately come my way if I put my heart in the right place. 

Believe in your potential, everyone. We may not catch one dream in life, but that means we’re that much closer to reaching the next dream in the distance. Just trust him and trust yourselves. <3

I love you guys. :) Goodnight.

So lately I’ve been trying to look up ways to make Ramen noodles healthy, or at least healthier. As a college students, Ramen noodles are like a dream meal because it only costs a few cents and makes you feel full. The only problem is those dang seasoning packets they come with. It tastes great, but is packed with tons of sodium and MSG. I actually got really high blood pressure one semester from eating it and was in and out of the doctors quite a bit. SO not worth it. Since then, I’ve taken up very healthy eating habits and swore off MSG filled products for good.

Still, recently I’ve really been craving Ramen, and I decided to look to the internet to help me find a blend of spices that I could add to the noodles as a replacement for the dreaded spice packets they come with. I really found nothing helpful, so I decided to use my trusty sense of smell and whatever spices I had around my kitchen, and GUESS WHAT?! I DID IT!! This blend of spices REALLY makes it taste exactly like ramen is supposed to taste! And you don’t need any salt, MSG, or other useless fillers. 

(I’m sorry, but I didn’t use exact measurements. All of this was just added to my taste. Just eyeball it if you try this).

-Garlic powder

-Onion powder

-White pepper (black works just fine too)

- Celery powder (I had to use celery salt, but I thought the soup was even too salty with that, so just the powder should be fine)

- Dry minced chives

*(Optional) If you like the oriental flavor of Ramen, add some ground ginger as well

You can find all of these in the spice isle at a regular grocery store. Yay! Easy and cheap! :D Also, for any parents out there, if your kids are picky eaters, they might like it better if you leave out the chives and use white pepper instead of black, just so there’s no suspicious specs floating around in the soup. But this is seriously delicious and mimics the taste of ramen to a T!!

Hope this was helpful to you Ramen lovers! I was pretty excited! Haha <3

So recently I’ve been reminded of how much I freaking LOVE Lady Gaga. (Duh, LOL). My friend Lady Sunshine and I sat for hours watching every music video she’s ever made (Sunshine hadn’t seen ANY of them before! Whoa! LOL) and talking about how even though Gaga is SO different in what she does, there’s just no way we can’t appreciate the awesome person she is. We started talking about how we love that Gaga wears whatever the heck she wants and doesn’t let media or stylists tell her what to do. Sunshine and I agreed that it would be amazing to be famous and wear whatever we want too. It got me thinking… if I was in the public eye and people actually EXPECTED me to dress differently like that, I would have a BLAST. I would definitely dress differently than my usual jeans and t-shirt. 

Of course, I wouldn’t be NEARLY as outrageous as Gaga in my clothing choices, but I would definitely have some artistic fun with my outfits. I think I would be almost like a combination of Gaga, La Roux, and Demi Lovato, LOL! All great style icons. 

While shopping today with Sunshine I kept talking about different accessories and clothing pieces I saw in the store that I would totally wear if I was famous and didn’t have to worry about “too much attention”. They weren’t weird pieces, just more bold than what I usually wear. 

Sunshine suddenly said “Well, why do you HAVE to be famous to wear them? If you like them, wear them. It’s you.”

I love her! LOL. She’s so right. Sometimes I think people would have a hard time figuring out that I LOVE fashion because I hardly wear anything that’s super put-together or bold. I wear cute casual things which is fine. But what I wear is so… “safe”. I guess while I’m still going to college I’ll dress the way I normally do. But I think on weekends and stuff I’ll try to accessorize more. And in the spring and summer when I’m off from school, I think I’m gonna REALLY get into some fun new outfits. WOOT! :D

There’s nothing wrong with expressing yourself in your clothing. As long as what you’re wearing is modest and not offensive, why the heck not?! :)

So tell me, what would you do differently if you were famous? A lot of things would stay the same with me too, actually. I’d still refuse to wear high heels (sad, I know. I just don’t like damaging my feet, as cute as heels are) and I’d still stay away from drugs and all that. But Gaga even said she was “famous” before she was truly famous. She felt like a superstar within herself, and that’s what matters. :)

Do what you love, even if it’s not your job. Love you guys! You are all my superstar friends. :)

Hey guys, so things have gotten a lot better since my last Tumblr post. As a lot of you guys know, I was going through a pretty rough time, but I’m back on top now! Woo! LOL. I’m ready to do SOOO many cool vids on my youtube channel (ladylunafication) but the problem is I’m still here at college and always pressed for time. The good thing is, I’m still posting every friday on my main channel, every monday on my ladylunafication2 channel, and every saturday on yourglamsquad! Woot! So until I get out of here in april, I’ll still have LOTS to share with you guys.

Today I got back up to 255 subbies on my main channel and 72 on my beauty channel! What the WEIRD?!! THANK YOU!! I can’t believe how many wonderful people I’ve met through YouTube and I want to continue to give back to you guys. I’m not goin’ anywhere. 

My dream now is to become a YouTube partner. I know it’s unlikely now, but because of your support I’m THAT much closer to making it one day. My videos are always improving and so is my confidence. Thanks, everyone. Hope you all are doing well. :) Love you! :D

So lately I’ve seen a lot of girls posting things about YouTuber, Shane Dawson, and how much they love him. Obviously, from the video I made last summer “your sub is my drug”, you can tell I also appreciate Shane too for his good character and friendliness. However, even though I acted like a creepy stalker in that vid, you guys know I’m really not. In fact, since then, Shane was nice enough to contact me a few times, and I’ve found he’s a really nice upstanding guy. 

I’m not one to judge girls for their crazy obsessions usually, because we all go through phases and experience puppy love. But I have to say, I’m pretty appalled at some of the things these girls are saying about Shane. They’re talking in their tweets about “doing things” to Shane that are highly inappropriate and completely against what Shane believes in doing. These girls have seen all his videos, every one, but have missed the fact that Shane is a virgin and a Christian. Sure, he can be a little messed up and says things he shouldn’t say. That doesn’t make it right, but we all have issues and imperfections. The fact of the matter is, Shane is a good person underneath his dirty jokes and it hurts me that these girls would look at Shane in such a lustful way because they’re too young to see what he’s really trying to show his audience. 

I don’t have a crush on Shane, but I can see why a lot of girls would. He understands the issues of weight, feeling inadequate, and just trying to fit in and find our place in this messed up world. But why turn him into an object of lust and distraction? I’m sure as much as every guy dreams of a ton of girls fawning over him, this is never what they truly want. Some of these girls claim they are endlessly in love and actually EXPECT to marry him one day. If you ask me that is tragic and scary. 

I hope this doesn’t offend anyone, but my point is that Shane is not a piece of meat. I consider him my friend and don’t like to see him be constantly “cat-called” and mentally violated, especially by underaged girls who don’t even realize how much greater of an influence they could be having on the world. Shane is great, but he’s not a god. 

Anyway, as for you lovesick little ladies, I mean no harm. I do hope, though, that you know there is someone for everyone out there. Don’t get so caught up in make believe boyfriends. It will cause you to crash and burn later, trust me. 

Thanks for reading guys. Please, enjoy the holidays and take care of yourselves. You are worth it. :)

Hey guys, so I should probably let you know that I’m going through quite a lot of changes in my life. Recently I’ve been going through a kind of neutral state of depression. I don’t suffer from any depression conditions, but I’ve just let myself get really down. I didn’t know why until two days ago when my landlady (of all people) decided to have a one-on-one intervention with me about how she’s seen my behavior change. She asked my roommates if anything had been bothering me and they told her they were worried because I haven’t been getting out much lately. She also suggested that I’ve been compromising my morals in several ways by the things I choose to view and listen to. Mainly on… you guessed it… YouTube. Most people would probably be angry if anyone sat them down and told them that the videos they subscribe to are becoming harmful to them, but all I could think was “she’s absolutely right”. I mean, I don’t want to completely unsubscribe and never look at certain youtube videos or channels ever again. But I do need to be more careful as to what I accept as ok to view or take in. I LOVE all the big Youtubers and look up to them so much for their creativity and what they bring to the table. But sometimes its also important to step back and ask “what do I think is ok for MY videos? What am I taking away from what I view that’s helpful to ME?” I disagree with harmful content in videos, as funny or lighthearted as it may come across. All it does is make people build up guilt inside for it and it’s a feeling that has been destroying me inside and causing this depression. It may seem like I’m overreacting, but if you all could see how worried my roommates and landlady were, you too would look at this situation differently. I’ll be okay, but I’ve decided that my new years resolution, starting NOW, is for me to BE the change I wish to see in the world. I may have to be more careful with the time I spend on youtube videos, but I will strive to make videos that not only entertain you guys and make you feel good, but most of all, videos that show you what’s truly beautiful in life and that it’s ok to strive for GOOD things. Not shady things the world uses to deceive us of what’s truly important. I want to lift people up through what I create, not drag them down to some level I’ve sunk to. I love you guys and want to SHOW you, not just distract you. Thanks everyone, your support means SO much to me and has been a huge help. I’m off to make some masterpieces. Happy holidays! :)

Hey guys, so yes, I realize I haven’t really been putting out as many videos as usual lately. I’m going through a really rough finals week here at college and it’s CRAZY. But I leave for home on Friday and I’ll get a three week break! Woot!! You know what that means… LOTS of vids! I’m gonna kick off the new theme of my main channel with sketches and possibly a music video, plus I’ll be posting my very first contributing video to my new collab channel “yourglamsquad”, where I’m teaming up with other awesome YouTube gurus! :D SO excited. My friend bethbr00tality put up her intro vid on there today so be sure to check that out if you’re interested. : )http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWR1eSWbyis

All of us girls in the group will be doing our own special makeup givaway contest on the channel too at different times of the week so if you like free stuff, stay tuned! 

Kay, so also, I just wanted to express how grateful I am to you guys. I often get sentimental when thinking about how great a blessing YouTube has been in my life. I am able to share things I know and love with people and help them to better themselves. I’m able to make friends with people like Shane, or other people from tv/ movies like Cheyenne Haynes, or like my amazing collab girls, sarabeth523, iamMilaine, and bethbr00tality. I am able to reach out and catch the attention of other amazing people who follow my same interests, like the amazing audfaced (seriously, she’s SO awesome, I don’t even know why she’s interested in my channel! LOL, JK. I feel honored by her views). 

So right now my vid schedule is looking like this:

Mondays: Beauty vid on ladylunafication2 (second channel)

Fridays: Sketch vid on ladylunafication (main channel)

Saturdays: Collab video on yourglamsquad (collab channel)

Sound good? Let me know if this sounds ok to you guys. There will probably be random vlogs on my main channel throughout the rest of the week too. :)

Finally, (LOL, sorry, long blog post), please feel free to send me any questions you have about me, my life, my hobbies, my randomness, LOL, because I’ll be doing a monthly “Ask Luna” type of vid on my main channel. Hit me up with those questions! :D

Thanks everyone. Love you! Be sure to follow this blog if you want to hear future updates asap! :)
