Happy 2016! (Updates)

Wow, it seems like 2015 just flew by... it's like I blinked and 2015 was over!  Now that I think about it, it feels like that every year.  It seems like the older one gets, the faster time flies!

I have been soooo behind on reading and commenting on my favorite blogs.  Not to mention posting on my own blog way less than I had planned.  There are just other things that have taken priority. There are also a few new projects I've been working on that I actually thought would be done last year but again, life happens.  Luckily everything is in the final stages so they should be done shortly.

The first project I am going to complete is sprucing up my blog. I've been doing bits and pieces here and there (you may have noticed) but there is still a lot more I plan to do.  I'm currently designing/creating my new banner and I'm revamping a few other things as well.  Everything will basically stay the same, I'll just be somewhat improving the overall look. 

I've also created a new website about 2 years ago that unfortunately, got put on the back burner as well.  The homepage has been up for most of that time but it's still currently under construction while I complete the rest of the site.  The plan is to have it done no later than the end of this summer. 

I absolutely LOVE designing/editing blogs and websites as well as producing/editing videos! I'm happiest when I get my creative juices flowing.  That's why I also love designing clothes, decorating, arts and crafts, etc.  Basically, anything where I can use my creativity.

Although I haven't been blogging as much as I would like, there are so many things I have been wanting to share and there are tons of topics I plan on covering.

Some of the topics I plan on covering this year include: 

DIY/homemade skincare and hair care products (including shampoo) 

Recipes (including meals and homemade condiments) 

Food ingredient substitutes 

Home remedies

Self sufficiency 

Healthy living/eating 

Chemical free, DIY household cleansers

Arts and crafts/knitting/sewing

Decorating 

Etiquette

Spirituality

I will also be sharing FREE ways to make money from home. These are literally things you can start doing immediately and get paid anywhere from a day to a couple of weeks later!   All you will need is the internet and a computer.  I have personally tried all of the opportunities I will share with you and have made money from each and every one.

I will also get back to doing my weekly segments such as Saturday Spotlight, Photo of the Week, etc.  I will have some new segments as well.  

Last but not least, I also plan to get back to making YouTube videos which will cover some of the same topics mentioned above. I can't believe I haven't made a new video in over 4 years!  The old videos are still on my channels but it's definitely time for some new ones!  I'm blessed to have continued to receive new subscribers over the years...I guess they knew deep down that I'd be back, lol.

Thanks so much to all of you who take the time out of your busy schedule to visit my blog.  It is truly appreciated.

Wishing everyone a very blessed and prosperous 2016!
