Life Changes... And Goes On
Why, hello there! It's been a while.
The last two months have been interesting, to say the least. I made a couple of big life decisions and moved, again. I won't really go into it here because that's not what this blog is about, but I will say that I feel lighter, happier, and like my life is moving in the right direction again.
This greater life change has inspired me to be more honest with myself and make the corresponding changes to other areas of my life. And that includes making some changes to this blog.
I had a lot of fun writing beauty and lifestyle posts but ultimately, that's not what I'm passionate about or enjoy discussing. "They" say to write what you know, so I've decided to convert this over to a blog about books and reading. I will be keeping some of my current features, such as monthly favorites and #YearOfMiyazaki, but for the most part my content will completely transition over to be more in line with my YouTube channel.
It may seem a little dramatic to dedicate an entire post to this transition, especially given that I have a very small audience at this point, so I'll cut myself off now. All you really need to know is that some things will be disappearing and in the future there will be less skincare, and more books.
Wishing you all clarity of mind and happy reading.

#YearofMiyazaki and The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness
If you guys haven't been able to tell already, I like to have multiple projects going at the same time. It keeps life interesting and I can honestly say I don't remember the last time I actually felt bored or like I had nothing to do.
A new project I'm starting this year over on my YouTube channel is my Year of Miyazaki (#yearofmiyazaki). I have been a fan of Studio Ghibli films since I was a kid; in fact, I think it's safe to say that Studio Ghibli played an even bigger role in my young life than Disney movies did. With #yearofmiyazaki I'm attempting to watch all of Studio Ghibli's full length films in 2015. I'll be working my way through the list above and have decided to just pull names out of a jar because I was finding it too difficult to pick which order I was going to watch them in. I just recently decided that I'd like to get as many people involved as possible, and so I'll be posting the discussion videos here on the blog as well!
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to kick off the project by watching the 2014 documentary The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness. It's an absolutely beautiful and fascinating documentary that I have to admit I've actually watched more than once by this point.
In case you'd like to do the project with me, I'll be watching Kiki's Delivery Service next!
