Hiya! Welcome to Gold Standard Workshop. I’m so excited to debut my blog today! I’ve been thinking about writing a blog for years (six, to be exact! Whoa.) and I finally have the guts, wherewithal, and plain courage, really, to get this thing up and running. If there’s one thing my friends and family say I could do, it’s write a blog. So, with their support and my courage, BOOM. Here we are. I find inspiration all over blog land and I sincerely hope you’ll find inspiration from me, too. GSW is a little lifestyle, a little DIY. You’ll find DIY home décor and fashion projects, and lots of experiments with personal style and figuring out how to dress for your best self. You’ll also run into my latest thrifty finds, whether paper, fabric, clothes, thrift stores, or estate sale goodies. I’d also like to share tools and resources I’ve come across in my quest to focus my life on my passions and to live life more creatively.
My biggest hope is to just be my authentic self: share ideas and projects, join in engaging conversations, and even start a few myself. I have lots of positive stuff to share and certainly to gain from others, but honesty and discussion of things that might not be going so well will be welcome here too. I have a job that is on the opposite end of the creative spectrum. It’s tedious and monotonous, but it pays the bills right now. I have other career ideas in mind (forever college student, lottery winner) but this is how it is right now. I really want to channel my creativity into this blog and grow and create in a way that my job won’t let me. It’s just little ol’ me wanting to share some of my creativity and ideas to live a fulfilling life in which you love what you do, no matter what.
Let’s have some fun!
