*please excuse the grainy photo.  Camera is in the shop, so I’m phoning it in these days.*

I realize that it has been nearly 11 months since my last post.  If anyone still reads this blog to come back to the last updated post from September 3rd, 2010, I apologize.

So much has happened since that last post,  it feels like that was a million years ago.  Just to get you a little up to speed on the extra long blogcation: I entered graduate school in September and juggled that with working extra long hours.  In December, I  decided to take a new direction in life and I finally went on a self-imposed break for the last six months.

During the break, I began to question if I should even blog anymore.  I started this blog as an outlet to get me writing again and about things that I was passionate about.   I never wanted to become too serious about blogging and I’ve never wanted to do this for any money or statistics.

There are so many fantastic fashion and beauty blogs out there, and it’s easy to feel like you are being caught up in the masses.   If you don’t really have any specific direction, you begin to feel like you are all over the place.  Or at least this is how I felt.

In the past couple of months, I’ve logged in to my blogging dashboard and prepared myself to write a post, but the words never spilled out.  Many times, I’ve thought of just letting this domain expire and forget about blogging altogether.

But I’ve decided to give it one more go.   I’m not saying that I’ll update as frequently as I did (pre-hiatus) or where my focus will be, but I’m just going to start from the beginning.
