Welcome, it's nice to have you!

My first blog post! I suppose I should start off by addressing a few key points:

• Who I am and what you can expect
  I am a 22 (almost 23!) year old mom of two girls living in Southern California. I am starting this blog as a way to share and express my love and passion for things that I love and am passionate about. What are those things? Well, here's a vague short list: fashion, art, icons, diy activities, scientific discoveries, and all things uplifting and positive. However, just like many of you, my interests are constantly changing. I am forever seeking, forever encountering new "things" that spark a flame inside me and consume me until there is nothing left to be consumed. (Does that sound cheesy?) Well, then the next thing crosses my path ready to ignite! And you will surely be the first to know all about it. I want to make this a weekly thing, but as I mentioned before I'm a mom and being so is very time consuming. Which brings me to my next point..
  

  

  
  

   
• Why am I doing this? I already mentioned that this is a way for me to express my passion, but why do I feel like I need to? Well, I can pin this to the fact that being a mom takes up all of my time. Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom, it's a great responsibility that I take seriously and in turn it makes me feel like I'm not a waste of volume and space. But none of this time is used for me to release any creative energy and in turn it leaves my creative side feeling stifled and neglected. I really don't think that my kids care about how much I am obsessed with Milla Jovovich and they're definitely too young to be able to discuss the best ways to style a t-shirt. No, that's where you, my lovely audience comes in. This blog is my outlet for all things creative, inspirational, emotional, noteworthy and any other wonderful thing you can think of. This is a journey I want to embark on but I don't want to go it alone...
   
• Let's talk!
  Last, but not least, I want to invite you to come along on this journey with me. Talk to me, tell me what's got you on fire today. I really want to hear what you fellow humans have to say , what inspires you? What absolutely enrages you? I want to know everything! I strongly encourage you to leave comments, I even welcome any constructive criticism you have to offer. (Note: All negative comments will be removed! I promote positive communication, nothing negative allowed whatsoever, go take your negative comment and do this with it.) (Also, I'm a bit crass so if you're not down with that, sorry!) Anyway, please join in on the conversation! You can even write me personally about anything you like, I am here for all of you, not just to write incessantly about myself. I've provided my email in the sidebar so feel free to write! I would love to feature you guys in my posts and be connected to as many of you as possible. ☺ Let's explore the world and all it has to offer... together! ♥

Thanks for reading! You'll be seeing a lot of me in the days to come since I'm only starting out, I want to have as much content as possible so as not to bore you, hehe.

Until next time, yours truly,
Mayra Isabel. ♥☺
