I think I just lost my way with what I wanted to achieve and forgot my blog's purpose. I think it's like most resolutions. You start great, you see others doing better and you stop because what's the point.
The
point is that every person and situation is different and that you
shouldn't stop because of one misstep or failure. If it is living a
healthier lifestyle. Don't stop your good eating habits because you
had a wild food weekend. Or you were sick so you stop exercising.
Someone (especially an internet someone) disagreed with a story you
posted or your art you shared. It's time we stopped that shit.
With
my blog I also forgot about me. I was trying to protect myself but
that meant taking personality out of the blog. Yes its a brand thing
but I got bored reading the same generic blogs. Like little robots
chasing the same thing. You need to remember your goal is for you. If
it's not you are not doing it for the right reason. I hope 2016 is
truly the year of self care because you can only look to yourself to
help others.

And
sticking to my brand of free to cheap is my Arthur Ashe Quote:
Use
Pinterest, Instagram or phone Apps to assist you. Want to draw
better? Read more? Lose weight? Write more? Save money? Travel more?
Learn to cook? It's all waiting for you to better yourself.
So
Michellé what is your deal with all this?
Good
question. (I imagined you asking me this in a very <Dose of
Buckley> condescending way). Recently I paged through magazines,
so weird I know. This one specific one was always an every woman
magazine. After seeing a beauty layout with a R5995 La Mer product on
there I realised why my mom stopped buying it.

Another
is the ultimate stereotype of women's magazine. These models whose
job it is to try and sell me this over priced bikini and also here
are normal sized women they call plus size. All of the shit cost
money and I personally don't know a single woman you would entertain
the stuff they are trying to smear off that they got free from
companies. (Maybe one, but she doesn't read magazines)
I
live in a different world to some magazines. You may say but I am not
their target market. Well show me a magazine that is. Even these
teenage magazines and other media spend the rich parents' money.
I
want you to read my blog and see things you can afford, to buy or
creatively to do. I don't have time for R6000 cream when in the end
of the day you can't pay the rent. Ef that shit.

This
is the light of a very real serious situation. Some folks (including
me) feel like you need all this money to do all these great things
because main stream media told you so. You forget all the great
things you can do.
Let's
do great things.

Now
you're like: Great campaign speech. How you gon' back that up?
Well
reader, every month I'm managing my posts in a magazine article way.
I'm going to circulate on topics like cooking, beauty and DIY.
Tuesday known as Chooseday are usually stuff in the news/ pop
culture/ social issues. Thursday's are going to be my big post. I'll
probably post in the evening. Also stay tuned to my Insta, Twitter
and FB for BTS and other cool stuff. #MaskMonday I'll review a face
mask, store bought or home-made. #ReviewWednesday will be something
cool and unusual that I will review. It's a rough schedule BUT I will
do my best to keep that up.
Okay
I'm really going to stop typing now.
