Who is this girl?

Okay, so before I delve into the "happenings" of tomorrow night, I'll start off with an introduction of sort.
As I mentioned in my first post, my name is Vicky. I am a Ukranian girl, an American citizen, an animal lover (I have 3 doggies :-D), maybe an artist, and a bride to be. Well that was a mouth full, and yet I feel like there's so much more to say, or maybe that pretty much sums it up...a little. I forgot to mention that which is obvious to my girlfriends, I love makeup! and nail polish!. ANything artistic, whether it's cosmetics or putting together an artsy outfit, taking photographs of practically everything and everyone, or doodling on a napkin, I'm all over it. As for my serious side, I'm currently in school finishing up my MPH degree. It's an exciting field, and one that will allow me to integrate my love of medicine with global health and disease prevention = awesomeness. So there :) that's me in a nutshell. "help I'm in a nut shell" ...anyone? line from Austin Powers? k, nevermind :)

Here are a couple pictures of my little angels. They are my bundles of love. Yes, that's cheesy, but cheese is delicious.

     Cutie (my troublemaker), Demi (my hairy little monkey), and Flaco (our piggy and beloved tripod)

         My baby, Demi...I raised him since the day he was born :) goodness I just love him!

A not-so-little-heads-up about Influenster

This being technically my very first post on my very first blog, I feel that I should give a small little introduction about what this whole thing is going to be about. To start off, my name is Viktoriya but everyone calls me Vicky, unless I'm trying to sound professional *hem hem, clears throat*. But of course, here in web-o-sphere Vicky will do. To be completely honest, I have wanted to start up a blog of my very own for the longest time, but it wasn't until recently, thanks to my friends pushing me to be more tech-savvy, that I came across a website called Influenster. You can access the link via influenster.com

It's a rewards based site that asks its participants to write reviews on products they are familiar with, products they love, or products they aren't a fan of. The whole point is to connect through social networks, try out new products, give feedback via surveys and product reviews, and all this will raise one's score. Now, what does this score do? well, the more involved you are, the higher it goes, and the higher the likelihood that you will receive these wonderful year round promotional boxes, VoxBoxes that is, that are chuck full of goodies for you to try out. I signed up not too long ago, and have already received the Bride to Be Box. I simply could not! believe the products inside. There were full size Schwarzkopf haircare products, lashes, and more. Then just a few weeks after that, I posted a picture for NYC New York Color, of just a couple nail polishes I have from them, and won the challenge among other women who were picked. Now there is yet another package on its way to my home. To put it simply, I think this site is really fun. Period. New challenges show up, new badge opportunities, prescreening surveys are sent to your email, and the more your do, the better your chances of receiving goodies that you are just asked to review...and more brand challenges are presented to you at that time to possibly win ever more. It's fantastic all around.

I hope to expand my blog, and be a regular contributor. It's relaxing, it's cathartic, it's a blog. I will write a clearer introduction and some background on myself and what this blog will entail in another post. That's it for now. Thanks so much for taking a moment to stop by. Night!
