What had happened was....



so it has been a while, and while i can sit here and write a thousand excuses for the long absence, the simple truth is that life happened. and when life happens sometimes you have to decide what you can and cannot focus on in order to survive. in a midst of navigating my way through passport issues, work visas, and expreme budget challenges, and strained friendships, something had to go. i definitely had no focus for blogging.

we're back! seriously.



so... it's been exactly one year since my last post. i hadn't plan this hiatus, but well, life. i can sit here and make a ton of excuses, but i really had a lot of things going on and in the melee, some things got dropped. i;m not a juggler. in fact, i'm quite clumsy, so forgive me. during my sabbatical (let's call it that, okay? okay!), i managed to change jobs, visit 3 countries, travel with mamma diva, start sewing,  and buy a crock pot! doesn't sound like much, i know but it's a lot for me.

i attempted a few posts in the mix of it all, but it seriously wasn't working. i had to really think about what i wanted this blog to be. i didn't want to be yet an other fashion blog. we have enough of those. and felt like i was focusing too much on aesthetics. i wanted to get back to what made me start this blog in the first place - my champagne taste with mauby pockets - in other words living fabulously without having to file for bankruptcy. and in order to do that i had to really practice what i preach. if you're a rich person, you're probably on the wrong blog, unless you're looking into austerity measures.

so now i'm back, with lots to share. i'll still be posting make up, fashion and skin tips etc, but i really want to talk about how to travel more budget friendly without limiting yourself to hostels; about dining at fabulous places while still making rent; about dressing like you own the building without having to return the dress later... you get my point!

and i'd also like you guys to share your own secrets or skills you've learnt along the way.

so in short..(not really though), i'm back! let's be fabulous together!
