thebeautynovel started out to be an outlet for when I was feeling down to try and create my own little space of positivity and passion.

I'm Julia Noëlle, a 24 year old make-up and fashion lover from the beautiful country of Austria.

I've graduated high school at the age of 18, where I decided I want to study law at our local university with focus on criminal law and become a lawyer. Well, this plan didn't work out as imagined.
I took a year off at around 20 years, thinking I'd rather have a full-time job still surrounding law but just not studying it. I did, I worked full time at a notary office for a few months when I developed depression and anxiety. I got professional help and eventually decided I want to go back to studying law.

Of course, things did not go as planned this time around either. I ended up going back to my old university to continue with my law studies. A few months in, struggling to keep up with my courses, I finally decided to leave university for good.

Now at 24 I worked for a big fashion company for the past 2 years which I'm now leaving to start studying marketing and web design.

I want to take you on this journey with me and hope to inspire some of you while I find my true passion and purpose in life.
