Introduction to being modestly modish

This may be viewed as cop out. i don't really care, i'm doing what is best for me.

i originally started this blog during the summer, because i thought i could handle it. Since then i haven't updated nearly as often as i had wanted to (i was aiming for twice a week, ha!) & i disappointed myself. i let other priorities get in the way, even though i swore that i wouldn't. So i am starting over. i feel a fresh start will do me good, & will also, hopefully, keep this blog on track.

Things have drastically changed since the summer. i used to have two jobs, working 60-75 hours per week, & it was rough. i recently quit a job, lowering my working hours dramatically. i now have much more time to work on the things that i love. This does not disprove the fact that you still don't need to have a lot of time to be creative, i still am working a full time job. With that said, i am rewriting this introduction, if you'll bear with me.

This blog began as an ode to all things creative. Since then i have had other ideas about what to include within, since there are plenty of other things that peak my interest. While i definitely did not want this to turn into anything emotional or "heavy," i still think i can include some random things that may not fall into the category of self-sufficiency, the blog's original theme. It will from this point on include points of interest, articles, photos, reviews, recipes & of course my DIY tips & how to's.

This blog will still focus on self-sufficiency, but to be more general, it will include entries on how to look and feel great, still staying within a budget, & relying on natural talent to do so. & perhaps a bit of personal taste as well. So i welcome all visitors & readers, i encourage those with ideas to contribute to do so, & i look forward to sharing my ideas with the world.
