Blog Changes

I've been working on becoming a more organized person. Growing up, my room was a disaster zone and I always had trouble finding things. I was also a VERY forgetful person. That's one thing when you're 16 but it's a whole other thing at 24. So, I've gotten much better over the past however many years but I am still working at it.  Well, one thing I've neglected to fully organize is this blog.  I won't be taking anything away but I am adding to my usual content. I've also decided to have themed days. I think that will help me stay on top of things!
It'll look like this:
Mon: Over the Weekend.   Basically whatever pictures I took on the weekend because I tend to not take many then. It can really be anything but it'll be a series of pictures including more life-related stuff.
Tues: Theme Mani.  This is when I will post the "Monday Mani" from the Facebook Polish-aholics group. It's easier for me to post it on a Tues than a Mon. I will try to include a tutorial.
Wed: Outfit/Beauty.  My usual outfit posts. With the "beauty" it can be anything from a tutorial to inspiration to products I like.
Thurs: Outfit/Nails. Another outfit post. They won't be from that day but I will try to share what day I wore it and where to.  I often take off my "Monday Mani" on Thurs so I will post that then.
Fri: Friday Foodie. I have really been wanting to incorporate more food into this blog! I've really gotten into cooking, especially vegan cooking lately.
Sat/Sun: Random!  I won't always post on the weekend but when I do, it can be anything. If I painted my nails again or have another outfit to show, it may end up posted on these days.

If you look up top, you will see these categories. Click and follow the link to read my blog posts within that category.

I know this has always been primarily a fashion blog and I don't want to lose that but for a while now I have been wanting it to be more than just that, more of a life style blog.  A blog for all the things I love!  If you look at the blogs I follow, you'll see Fashion, Beauty/Nails and Cooking... so it makes sense that I always blog about those things.

Finally, if you look to the right above lookbook.nu you will see "Vegan Mofo/Vegan Month of Food". I signed up yesterday! So, for the entire month of October I will be have a lot of vegan-related posts.  I WILL NOT post any pictures of animals being mistreated. While I think it can get the message across, this is not a place where I want to push beliefs on anyone, I just like to share info and maybe teach people a few new things!  Also, I'm not vegan. haha I have been eating that way a lot lately but I don't know if I will ever be a 100% true vegan. We'll see.  I will be posting vegan recipes, facts, helpful tips, product reviews etc. Here are three things you should know about Vegan Mofo.

  • You do not have to be vegan to participate but during October you cannot post pics/recipes etc of any non vegan food.
  • You don't have to post every day but aim for around 20 posts within the month.
  • You can still sign up! Deadline is the 28th.
Tons of bloggers will be participating so it's a great way to find new recipes and learn something!  Like I said, I'm not a vegan but I am making a point to avoid animal products. I just don't like labels and I feel like if I say "I'm going to be vegan" that I'm putting myself in a box.  I am giving up red meat for good and other meat will be very limited. I really don't miss it.  I have cut way back on dairy but I know sometimes it is still an ingredient that I have (like in chocolate). So, I hope you guys will enjoy my posts!  There will be something for everyone, I promise.

Also, I am hoping to not eat any animal products for the month of October. It's not party of Vegan Mofo, just a personal challenge to myself.  :)  Honestly, it'll just be laziness or lack of will power if I don't succeed so I think it's a good challenge.

  2. I am usually a VERY organized person (in every aspect of my life except for when it comes to my blog!). I have learned that when I place a schedule on my blog, it becomes stressful! Good luck! I love your blog just the way it is.
