Vanity Clinic Renovated



Finally, I am done tweaking this new template. My web hosting is due for renewal by the end of the month. I had no trouble with the previous host but then the renewal rate was too pricey for me. I decided to transfer it instead to another hosting service called JustHost. So far, I like its features and how they handle their clients. I had worries about not making the site work after its transfer but their customer service is excellent. They were kind enough to assist me with the process and was always quick to reply to my questions.

At some point I decided to discontinue this blog. I have not been updating this regularly because of work. However, browsing at my previous entries made me realize that the contents would still be useful for those wanting to learn more about makeup. This is my way of giving back.

To make the most of the hosting expenses, I will try to revive this website by writing more often. This time, I will not limit it to beauty talk. Makeup artistry will still be the highlight, but there are other valuable things I can cover. Hopefully I can write more self-esteem boosting articles like "Unconventional Ways of Being Beautiful."

Since my hands were itching to give this site a new look, I got a new template and I spent the last 2 days tweaking it. Sheesh, venturing into unfamiliar grounds involving html codes, php, css and the like certainly gave me a nosebleed! But then I had fun. It's always nice to learn something new each day. The next thing you know, I'm trading my makeup brushes for some highly technical computer software.

Before I shift into geeky mode, let me thank my readers if there are any at all. I hope you enjoy the new magazine-type look of this site and let me know you exist by dropping your comments or suggestions at the comments section or in the contact form above. While you're at it, you can do some shopping at the vanity store. These are a few of the additions to my newly renovated virtual clinic.

If you noticed, I changed the blog title. The previous one called "The Makeup Artist is In.. Scrubs" will have to take a rest for now. Some got confused as to what scrubs are. Just to clear it up, it's not the cleaning device used to polish up one's floor but are type of clothes that doctors (and even massage therapists) wear on duty. I'm putting it to the laundry so I can put on my white coat once again. The Doctor is (va)IN and ready for the next consultation.
