About Me

Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by! I can't even put into words how excited I am to have started my own blog. For those of you who don't know me (which is about 99% of you) let me fill you in :)

My name is Adriana, I'm in my early 30s and have been married for almost 3 years. I was born and raised in New England and although I complain about the humidity and snow storms I actually love the fact that I get to experience all 4 seasons. I started filming beauty videos for YouTube last June (http://www.youtube.com/user/MarisaP39) because, well, why not? I love all things makeup and quickly fell in love with the beauty community. I've made a ton of dear friends the past few months who have really supported and encouraged me to take chances I normally wouldn't have.

Like starting a blog! I originally started my YouTube beauty channel with plans to involve all types of videos, beauty, DIY, food, etc. but that just doesn't make sense for my channel anymore. I've been wanting to start a blog for years and finally decided to just take the plunge and learn as I go!

So what is 'Becoming Adriana' all about? Everything! After years of trying to please others and play it safe I feel like I finally embraced who I really am, all I was meant to be. I'm doing things I love for me. 

I love makeup and beauty, like, a lot! Makeup should be fun and used to enhance your own beauty, not as a mask to hide from the world.

I embrace the old lady inside of me that loves gardening, home decor and cooking (admit it, you love it, too!)

I already mentioned DIY and home renovations (my husband is redoing our front stone steps and I'm his trusty little helper). Even though I like glamming it up for no reason I also don't mind getting dirty ;)

See what I mean? I'd love it if you went on this crazy ride with me and gave me any feedback you think might be helpful. I'm all about improving and having fun while I do it.

Check me out on Instagram/Twitter/Pinterest: (@adrianarr9), Keek (adrianapina_567) and YouTube: (Adriana Pina). Don't forget to subscribe to my blog through BlogLovin so we can see more of eachother.

Stay blessed!!!

Welcome to my blog!

Hey guys! My name is Adriana and I'm a wife, friend, daughter, sister, Titi, beauty product junkie, craft lover and do-it-yourself-er. I own my home with my husband so we do lots of renovation, gardening and DIY home projects...he's definitely handier than I am but don't let this 5'2" frame fool you, I can pull my own weight! (Kinda)



Let's not forget about Snyper, our fur-baby. If you follow me on YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Keek, or Pinterest you've probably be inundated with posts devoted to my perfect little prince. And by perfect I mean hyper, super friendly, water-loving, nap taking, 90lb chocolate lab.



I'm getting certified for Event Planning so I'm hoping to share some fun tips that might help you throw parties, decorate and even save some money while you're at it. But let's be honest. If you're here it's probably because you found this little blog through my YouTube beauty channel. I've only been filming a few months but it's already become such a big part of my life and a big part of what brings a smile to my face. I've me some pretty cool people and learned a LOT about beauty in the process. More importantly, I learned not to take myself so darn seriously!

After spending most of my 20s trying to please others and playing it safe, I finally decided to put myself out there--quite literally--through YouTube and now my blog. I'm so excited to have this outlet to share my love for beauty, crafts, food, books, music, decorating...you name it!

So follow and join me on my journey of Becoming Adriana!
