I blog because...

This was my unplanned Friday night last week.  Sometimes you just have to step back from to-do's, from the get done lists, and get to having some extra fun.  It's amazing what a pitcher of bud light and some french onion soup can do to rejuvenate the soul.

I think lately about different things with blogging.  Why do I come here?  Am I doing it wrong because I don't X, Y, or Z it like other bloggers do?  Is it right that I do A, B, or C?  What about the content?  Is it a hit out of the park, a swing and miss, or is it completely overlooked?

These are all questions all bloggers face.  I know because we all talk about it and that to me is quite comforting.  The one thing I do know about blogging is that there is not one set right way to do this thing.

Whether you do sponsorships, or update about your weekend brunch plans, or link ups, or share a million pictures of your kid/dog, or product reviews----if you're doing it because you want to, then I believe you're doing it right.

Why do I blog?  For me, first and foremost it's writing, which is the essence of my being.   My preferred method of expression is this.  Being able to look back and recall different things I've felt pressing enough to talk about it here is my jam.  It differs post to post and I love that.

I also blog because I love the community.  The other bloggers who do their thing in this virtual land and have such impact on so many; the ones who endorse products and their dogs alike; the ones who share how to's and the ones who share hilarious what not to do's just based on personal experiences-ALL are rock stars! The beauty is: If it's being done because you want to do it, then everyone is doing it right.

As I am nearing a milestone in contribution to this Ohgabetta land, 300 posts, I suppose my reflection today is derived from that.  How did I get here?  Am I proud of what I look back on?  What do I want more of moving forward?  I gots some plans and thoughts.  The most common among them is to keep moving and keep posting.  It has a way of sorting out, that what needs more sorting.

Until we meet again,

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w

“Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life.” –Bill Cunningham

I love this bear I saw one morning awaiting my cup'o'joe at Starbizzy. Precious does not begin to cover it. Fashion is one of my absolute favorite things in life and I enjoy all opportunities to participate with it. Shows, viewings, up front, backstage, you name it and I'm there. Fashion is a chance to express yourself in all kinds of ways. You can keep things at center, meaning you are who you are personally and personality wise, but you can explore new physical you's by partaking in fashion choices. I absolutely loved this outfit I assembled together last week. Bright, cozy, and it allowed the ability to factor in extra fun accessories. Wearing this made my day that much brighter in other aspects too. Even when life moments happen and you can't avoid doing certain things, aka being an adult basically, at least you can feel happy because you are in fact wearing a rainbow. See? Perspective. Glass way full of color, rising over the top. Forget that h
