Why I'm blogging

In no particular order:

1. I work nights and sleep all day so it's really hard to keep in touch with friends and family. Maybe this will help?
2. Other blogs such as The Daybook (and Pinterest!) inspired me to get back in touch with my creative side.
3. For the first time in my adult life I feel like I can breathe and maybe start having fun again because:
1. I am finally earning an OK salary in a thriving field and don't have to always stress about money like before.
2. My new job does not cause me to be jaded, emotionally exhausted or paranoid (former jobs include newspaper journalist, waitress, and retail sales associate).
3. The Seattle area (my new home) is full of life and new things to explore, which I'd love to share with you!
4. Also, because I'm in my mid-20's and all-too-often dress like a 14-year-old. Maybe that's because for the last 2.5 years I lived in a place where the People of Walmart are regularly sighted, so it's not hard to look dressed up. I'd like to use this blog as a way to connect to local fashionistas and have fun with some new looks.

Me tonight: Hollister hoodie, plain white t-shirt, American Eagle jeans and my new Puma kicks (these aren't going anywhere!)

There will be no politics, no religion and no posts on what I had for lunch (unless it's something crazy or super special) -- I promise! This is all for fun and I'm excited to see where it takes me.

Till next time. :-)
