Yet another month has passed without so much as a whisper over here. I feel like there’s this awkward silence going on with my blog where I just don’t know what to say anymore. I’ve been waiting for the silence to lift but it isn’t. As expected, the longer is goes on the harder it is to spark that first word.

While the above might be a little bit dramatic at least I’m forming sentences. Usually I’m just staring at a blank document, sipping on a coffee and waiting for the words to come. I’d capture my thoughts through my camera but we are having a awkward moment too.

Regardless of why I’m feeling this way, I need to snap out of it. Can someone spark a fire under my arse please?

Anyway, enough about me. How are you?

So I finally let the 6 huge bags of clothing I had put aside for donation to actually, you know, go to a charity. They have been ready to go since late summer, but I held onto them just in case. It’s quite embarrassing how many of the items donated were never worn but I’m happy some less fortunate ladies out there will get to wear them instead. With so many clothes donated, you could say my current wardrobe is very limited. And if I’m honest, for the most part, very blah! I feel like I’ve been stuck fashion-wise for a long time and I just need a new style.

So, I think once Winter is over, I’m going to donate most of what I have left. Figuring out what direction I’d like to go in fashion-wise is a whole other matter but I do know I need to “fem” it up a bit, do less casual and get my arse out of jeans 24/7. I think I’ll start pulling together outfits (which I’ll share here) to see if one naturally forms. Do you consider yourself to have a style? What would you call it?

In anticipation of figuring what direction I’m doing to go in fashion-wise, I also want a new haircut. I’ve worn it mid-length and straight for years and I’m bored. I’m not one of those girls that has the patience to spend much time on her hair – though perhaps I should – so it’s easy to stick with what I know works. But I’ve had enough and need something totally new. Right now, this cut has my attention. My hair on occasion has a natural wave to it and I think on those days, this cut would still work don’t you?

I also plan on enlisting my makeup artist friend to give me some application lessons. Because yah, I’m needing some help there too.

Jesus, tell me I’m not the only 30-something year old that feels as though she needs help in all of the above departments. Are you craving a whole new you too?

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought about writing a post over here and my mind has promptly gone blank. But, rather than continue in silence, I’m just going to jump back in and say hi.

While it’s a little late to wish you all a wonderful Holiday and Happy New Year, I do hope you all had a wonderful time. Many things changed over here and some of those changes may include the addition of a puppy and a rabbit. More on them later.

And to my new subscribers (ironically I had a big jump while gone), welcome and please do say hello. I don’t bite I swear.

I love the days when it’s so overcast out I can turn on the fairy lights around my windows and feel the spirit of the Holidays.

I love the days when the ideas/thoughts that stumped me 24 hours prior suddenly become completely clear and I know exactly what to do.

I love the days when I find my groove and do a days worth of work before noon so can call it a day if I so choose without feeling guilty.

I love the days when the only clothing that seems fitting is my PJs and I don’t feel like a total bum because of it.

I love the days when I know I should probably do more cleaning around my home but the neat freak in me says fuck it.

I love the days when I feel so utterly and completely content.

Today is that day.
