I’ve been toying with the idea of setting up a new blog for a while. 92three30 is a great place to write about family stuff, but I wanted to write some more ‘me’ posts. I thought about setting up a frugal living post, but realised that what I actually yearned for was a little bit of luxury.
This recession has been running for so long and it seems never ending. I wanted a place where I could forget about the doom and gloom of the economics of life and enjoy nice things, experiences and little treats. The little luxuries of life are afterall the things that make life worthwhile; that keep us going through the bad times; and make us feel good about life.
A Little Luxury For Me will focus on those little luxuries, those chinks of light, those little pieces of fun. Some of those luxuries will be free or very cheap indeed. Others will be more expensive, but with an emphasis on being worth it in some way.
Some of the experiences, treats and luxuries will be things I’ve treated myself to or someone has treated me to, and others will be goods and experiences I’ve been sent to review. I’ll make it clear how I came by whatever I’m writing about. Categories I’m planning to cover include food, drinks, pampering, fashion, leisure, sport, books, so A Little Luxury For Me will be wide in scope. Mostly I expect to do most of the writing myself, but I’m open to the idea of some guest posts.
I hope you’ll sign up to follow my blog either on email (on right hand side), via an RSS lead, by following on Facebook or Twitter.
Your reasons for the blog certainly seem sensible. Possibly it will bring / allow some “Self Caring”, ‘ Nurturing’ for yourself, and perhaps your blog readers. As for some family / children / others can be their priority, and then somehow along life’s Journey the individual somehow ‘gets forgotten about’, ‘bottom of list of priorities’, doesn’t seem to get ‘a turn’ in this life ( game of life perhaps, melts into the background, etc). Somehow some individuals can become ‘neglected’, ‘impoverished’, little to no Nurturing. Yet :- Equality and Diversity.
So back to :- ‘Mum gets a turn’, a little’Time Out’. Pampering. Treats. Life can be multifaceted. Well Done! In your attempt to be ” Inclusive”.
