i know. i know.

this blog has been fluff lately. 
though i'm sure you all love music, and fashion, and holiday gift guides, i am here to acknowledge that i have given you nothing of substance in almost 2 months (what?!). i know. i know. i'm a disaster. this holiday season has not been kind, and i'm no good at saying 'no', or doing things in appreciation of myself.
but i will say this - i've spent lots of time with friends, and people who are very important to me. some conflict that has been a long time building took a step in the right direction - a big, huge, large, relieving step. lots of jewelry was sold and money was made. my apartment has been purged, and is on it's way to being cleared out for new beginnings.
and yet, there's so much more to do. unnecessary and unneeded things to be sold (i'm doing a life purge - major life purge); online shops to be reorganized, rebranded, and set in motion; branding to be finalized and photographed; relationships to be worked on; friends to be visited and called and written to; lists to be made, and then completed. so much to do. such a full life to live.

so, despite the emptiness of meaning on this blog as of late, and its lacking in substantial grit, i promise you that life has been filled with it. filled to the brim - it's often exhausting and i'm not sure i'm ever prepared for it, BUT i can't possibly complain about loving people in my life SO much, that i need to spend all of my free time with them (and then make more free time to make jewelry and clean, when i should be sleeping - oops!).
and i will say this - lots of things are coming. life changes. big changes. and i promise that i've got a head full of introspective things that are bursting at the seams to come out. so please - bear with me through the holidays, and forgive me for the (nearly) 2 months of shallow things. i promise - depth is returning shortly.
as an, 'i'm sorry, don't hate me' present (ha!) here are handy dandy links to when i actually had something important to say.
