New Year, new blogging.
I've had this same blog since 2015 (wild!) and it has certainly changed vibes over the years. Once I graduated college, I started a very busy corporate job and
had the lovely stress of moving apartments in NYC a couple of times. While I was still shopping a lot and styling outfits for work or different occasions, I lost the energy and motivation to take 'good enough' pictures, writing posts, etc. but the interest and creative ideas were still there.

What I'm starting now is taking this re-branded blog as a casual hobby, which is what it has always been. Losing the pressure of needing professional photos or getting a lot of follows/views. It will be nice to have a creative outlet again and be able to put all my ideas and finds somewhere.
I like to create wallpapers every once in a while to remind myself what my goals (big or small) are and of overall inspiration for life, home, and style. Here is my moodboard for the upcoming year and some of my goals and ideas for it.
⋆ Self care, and more of it. Lemon water, skincare, sleep.
⋆ Enjoying more of the little things. Flowers, iced coffee, wine.

⋆ Drink more espresso martinis!
⋆ Take more time off. I never used to use my PTO if I didn't have anything planned. Just to sit in my apartment and watch TV? I might as well work. However, I felt like I deserved to use up all my PTO this year so when it was hitting the deadline, I took off weeks at a time for no planned reason and it felt really great! I got to sleep more, cuddle my dog more, and reset. I will definitely be taking more days here and there just because.
⋆ Travel more, anywhere. Just getting out of the city more whether that's more time Upstate, more beach trips, or whatever.

⋆ The quotes speak for themselves.
I also like to make a few versions with different feels and color schemes to use depending on my mood. Here's my pink, girly, bright one and some mobile wallpapers I currently have set on my phone.
