Ohgabetta

Gotta a little facelift around here and I must say I'm pretty pleased.  It's simple, clean, and if I don't say so myself, mighty good looking.  I'll admit, the color scheme isn't always my favorite but this one is --heart eyed emoji X 6--.  I love black and white together almost always and pink with it is sometimes...eh.  Once I saw it and knew this was a winning look I couldn't help but smile for Shelby from Steel Magnolias, hence the blog title. "The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize"-Steel Magnolias for the win again! I needed to freshen up around here.  It's great to digitally declutter, revamp, and enjoy something new.  Much like a home, closet, or your car it's like you can just breathe better with that new-new.  I went with a new layout, colors, bio, and updated gadgets and verbiage til my little heart found contentment.  I'll maybe tweak a bit more but I'm quite relieved to have ...

I started blogging in May 2010 just after graduating college. I had blogged for a magazine I interned with and maintained a blog as a mentor in my Capstone class. Next thing I knew, I was signing in to Blogger for myself and was off to the races. I blogged a whopping three times before leaving this space damn near a year. Once back, I have staggered my way through posts, picking up momentum here and there. I'm guilty that some weeks are better than others. I have made it my personal commitment, however, to honor this space more consistently in the last year and I'm feeling good with it. What I would tell myself when I started blogging, almost four years ago, is directly related to what I tell myself presently. Without further suspense... 10 Things I'd Tell Myself When I Started Blogging: 1. Write every day. No ifs or buts. 2. Link up-join in, have fun, mingle! 3. Don't be afraid of your words; no idea isn't worth consideration 4. Study SEO 5. Learn...
