Welcome, seekers of all things beautiful



I started a joke, which started the whole world crying. No wait, that was the Beegees. But I did start a blog. This is my first post so if you're reading this you're probably my mum. If however, by some miracle you're not my mum, thanks for taking the time to have a look at my silly ramblings.
So, without further ado, let me tell you a little bit about me and my plans for this little corner of the internet. 

My name is Shakira (are you fighting the urge to sing Hips Don't Lie?) and I'm a 19 year old Psychology student from Perth, Western Australia. I watch too much TV and have an exisitential crisis everytime I finish a series, sorry what? I buy more makeup than my bank account can handle, and have a fetish for flower crowns, ripped jeans, tartan and kimonos with tassles (probably not all together though). I enjoy making music but if I could be anything, I'd most certainly be a faery so sometimes people pay me to dress up as one; this is thoroughly enjoyable, and gives me an excuse to cover my face with copious amounts of glitter.

Brownie points to whoever can figure out what the text on my computer screen says...


As a child I used to spend my days writing and writing and writing some more, but as I grew up I found less and less time for this pastime I loved so much, and I often found myself wishing I had a reason to write. So, I decided that I would make a reason, and Kirrakirra was born; I can't wait to see it take shape and become a slice of the internet I'm proud to call my own. Here, I will write about beauty and makeup, personal style, music, lifestyle and probably some other things as well. I hope you can find something that tickles your fancy!

Finally, you may have noticed that my header reads "For seekers of all things beautiful."  This is part of a quote from a stunning canvas by Kelly Rae Christmas and I fell in love with it immediately. I want this blog to be a place where people can come and experience something beautiful. Not neccessarily anything materially or physically beautiful, but a place that makes you feel content. A place that is warm and loving and happy, because that in itself is beauty. It should be a safehaven, a virtual sanctuary full of passion and positivity. A place that inspires you to seek out beauty and goodness in your life, and share it with others.
 

I'll be back with a new post on Tuesday and Thursday!
Seek beauty xx
