Artist Jane Bush

I have a case of RBF and so does my wonderful, lovely, best friend of a mother. When I was a kid and she was concentrating on driving or bookkeeping, I’d ask “are you mad?” 😆 If you’d like to see my true personality, keep swiping. 🤪Honestly, I was feeling sultry and loved the mood that this palette ( Ghost Town USA gold + grit palette) was giving! I have another look in mind but wanted to start off with something slightly moody! Can I tell you how much I loved the shades Garnet, MT and the duochrome Ghost Town?! Holy smokes! Nomad conjured up an eyeshadow witch doctor and stepped up their shimmer game! (Sorry, it’s spooky season!) So buttery and sparkly (but not a chunky sparkle - no glitter - just pure glimmering goodness!). Of course I had to dip into the Calamity Jane shade in my crease! Thank you, , for gifting me this palette! Eyes:

Sporting some of the amazing Matte eye paints, (la zona rosa, vertigo flowers, and crocodile rock) and I forgot what else I was wearing here because I hadn’t intended to initially post it here. What I really wanted to write about was my personal journey. I took an long hiatus, and it was very encouraging to see everyone’s support in my last post. Thank you. I honestly didn’t know it would be so welcoming. You all are such talented, sweet, and creative individuals. I wanted to talk about creative burnout (creator burnout!). There’s so much that goes into content creation, & I have ADHD. I can be extremely hyper focused at times, or I can be procrastinating because I’m unmotivated. I’m 43 & I still struggle with this (but I know in some ways even though it’s a challenge, it can be to my advantage). My end goal is to find some kind of balance so I don’t get burned out again. The hours put into content creation is something that unless you’re doing it, you really don’t know. When you have chronic pain due to psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, and spinal stenosis, that can slow you down too. This is not a pity party; these are just contributing factors that lead to that place where I had to walk away for a while. It was refreshing to not have a schedule to strictly abide by, and while I move forward I want to post and get back into it, my main focus is creativity.
I want to promote indie brands and major brands if they choose to collaborate (but I’ll be honest - indie brands are my favorite!) but I also want the wiggle room of sitting down and just filming my makeup process (or not) and reaching for whatever comes to mind (I’ll be shopping my stash but also new in the mix too, whether it’s purchases or PR. You may see swatches here too, because I can’t help myself. When I fall in love with an eyeshadow palette or liquid shadow, I want to share it with everyone).Getting in that flow state where you’re on artistic fire is my favorite place to be. I’m ready for the next chapter!
That being said, what are some challenges you face and how do you approach a solution? 💚
