let’s catch up :)
Hi Polished People! It has been a minute without a new blog post (April?? Really?? Yikes, lol), but I just felt like putting together a little update and catch-up post today, so here I am. :) I hope you’re doing well and that your day is a beautiful one!
Starting off with some personal updates: Since taking a break from content, I’ve actually done quite a bit of moving around and traveling—some of which was spent with family for quite a while, so that was wonderful. Still being in the process of moving has definitely been challenging, but I am so grateful for all the unique blessings and growth that this season has brought me by God’s grace. As for fun things, this fall, I started taking recreational ballet classes and have been writing a lot. I’m also starting a new job soon, so that’s exciting!
How are you doing? What’s new in your world? Feel free to comment below or DM me over on Instagram so we can catch up.
A recent autumn mani I posted over on Instagram! I love these colors. Check out my post right here for more details on this design.
Otherwise, I’ve actually been getting more inspired to create content lately, so that’s exciting too! A few months ago, I actually mentioned a few things I’d like to keep in mind going forward after this hiatus, so here’s a little gist of my vision for future content…
Less “brand-focused” content: I’ve done so many different product reviews and a lot of product-focused content over the years, but I would like to change it up a little bit. For the most part, I’d like for this space to be filled with fun and inspiring artwork, (i.e. less about specific brands and polishes and products and more about the actual nail art). However, I still enjoy sharing my favorite polishes and things with you, so you won’t be seeing “brand-focused” content as frequently, but definitely still every so often.
More faith and lifestyle content: I love sharing manis, but I also adore being able to connect with you through little glimpses of my day and by sharing uplifting faith content, so you’ll definitely be seeing more of that! Especially on my Instagram Story, so that’ll be fun.
“Less-toxic” updates: I have some updates I’d like to make and add to my “less-toxic” page, but in stepping back from the majority of my more “brand-focused” content, I’d also like to re-emphasize the importance of balance in a “less-toxic” journey, (i.e. I haven’t been painting my nails as often and that’s actually been a really big part of my journey recently). So, again, re-focusing on making sure that your “less-toxic” journey is positive and comfortable and peace-bringing and healing because that’s something I’m really passionate about.
So, these are just a few things I’d like to keep in mind for the future! I also want to focus on creating fun newsletters and blog posts here and there.
And, as always, thank you for being patient and so supportive during these months off from content-creation! It has truly been very healing for me, such a wonderful time to re-evaluate and get re-inspired and focus on other things. I’ve missed you guys!
As for right now, I have posted a few new things over on Instagram recently, and I’m hoping I’ll be able to do a little casual, chatty catch-up video similar to this post over on YouTube soon. I’m also looking forward to Christmas nail art! I definitely want to figure out something fun to do for advent, so stay tuned for updates.
I’m so glad we got to catch up today! I really enjoyed sharing these updates with you. I’ll definitely talk to you again soon, but for now, thank you again for reading and supporting, and I pray that you have an absolutely blessed day.
Have a polished rest of your day,
