This is my first blog entry before going live, so I thought I would share a little more about how the blog came to be. . . . . I became interested with Instagram and blogging a couple of summers ago when I was re-cooperating from a surgical procedure. I frequently read about things I had already been experiencing, noticed, wanted, or wanted to do and tell others. The desire for a blog started for me there. I tossed the idea around all this time, with encouragement from friends to “just do it”. Fear of the unknown and anxiety kept me from getting started. Will people read what I write? And by people, I mean my friends (all two of them). My mom counts as one of my friends, right? 🙂 Do people share my interests, my taste in fashion, will they enjoy my projects, and should I do Facebook live and instastories? Do my friends know about instastories? Anywho. I decided to just jump in and start.
I have always loved writing. I also love photography, fashion, living a healthy and fitness inspired life, and I especially love engaging with others. A blog gives me somewhere to channel my creativity and share in these areas. I have so many ideas and projects to share and I hope you’ll stick around. Lifestyle blogging is new territory for me and I am learning as I go, so please visit often. Feel free to ask questions and leave responses. I am truly thankful to all for following along.
I’ll blog about current things I love — beauty, health, and fashion related. I have a few trips planned this year I plan to share. And I’ll share shopping trips (Shopping Stories) where I will document my finds with pictures. Time is our greatest asset and on-line shopping is the way of the future for many, so if you can find something you like on my ‘virtual shopping tours’ and it saves you time — then my work is not in vain. #missionaccomplished
I decided on the name Monica’s Mix because the blog is a variety of things. Not just fashion. Not just fitness. A balance of many things, because, really — life is all about the balance. #amIright?
