Where, or how to start again?

Hi!

I don't know how many posts I've started writing, and how many I've failed to post - and this over the course of many years. I feel like I've been on hiatus for such a long time I can't gather myself to publish a post. Pretty much every single day I think about starting this blog again and for some reason, I feel held back. I think it's because I still haven't decided on how I'd like to run this blog moving forward. My thoughts bounce between 'OMG, I don't want to disappoint my readers!' and 'the hell with it, I'm overthinking it. I should just be genuine and blog whatever I'd like to share with others.' a million times a day.

I saw that today is 07-17-2017, so thought it'd be a nice date to restart blogging. For now, I'll just post whatever comes to mind. I'm certain this blog is going to deviate from 'beauty-only' to a broader spectrum of topics that touch my everyday life and interest.


Just to give a short update in my life;

I got a new job. Well, kind of.

Last year around this time, I was actively interviewing with companies to seek better career opportunities. I was in a really good/comfortable position in my previous place but thought I needed to shake up my life. I wasn't seeking stability - yet.
I'll probably talk more in detail about this process in a separate post.

• I still live and work in Los Angeles! It's already been 5 years since I moved here. 
• My birds (Chewie & Dante) are still a very large part of my everyday life. 
• I still have my penguins and other plushies 
• I have Instagram (@cl2425) - I don't update it that often though, but most of my social media links are on the sidebar of this blog :)
• I'm STILL trying to customize and fix the blog layout (this is also one of the excuses reasons I'm reluctant to update the blog) 
• This blog still holds a very special place in my heart, and I am very eager to get it up and running again
