I Started this blog, where I featured art, music, vintage shopping, photography and design inspiration, in 2008. But, as the years went by, my focus shifted onto different things. I had a new mindset, new friends, new space... I wanted to have a blog that was more than pretty pictures & vintage obssesions. I needed a personal journal to bookmark my findings, track this new health venture I've been raving about and share my current inspirations... CLUSSSTER is born!
Health Venture? You've already been down this road before. Remember when I got really really sick last year and the doctors couldn't even come up with a real reason as to why I felt so bad? After being sick at least once every two months in that same year, I made a drastic change in my lifestyle. I was interested in knowing why I was sick and how to fix it. This journey made me look at myself in a whole different way and I am never looking back. Currently [oficially yay!] enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I am becoming even more obssesed with discovering all the ways that food can heal. Using myself as an example for optimal health.
Clussster was an idea of gathering everything I wanted to save up for myself and share it. My virtual bookmarker for your viewing pleasure. I thought I'd be able to manage two blogs and have them be about two different things. But, the reality is, one I am passionate about a specific thing it's really hard to keep up with another. Case in point, Previously Owned has a new home and I will try to redirect everyone over here for a couple of weeks until everything falls into place again. Meanwhile, update your subscriptions to Clussster.
Another reason for this change? I don't know if I'd ever said this before but throughout the years I've had different companies approach me with big bucks to buy my domain. From vintage shops to 'ebay' type sites. Previously Owned was so dear to me I always said no. As I was editing Clussster, I kept thinking... "Maybe it's that time to just have something new". And so it is. There is a bid going on for my domain and by the next month, it'll belong to someone else. In all honesty, I need all the money I can get to pay for INN, so I am actually relieved that I'll be selling it to help me further my studies.
I hope you all enjoy this sudden change. Clussster comes with new features and all! I'll be focusing a lot more on featuring creatives all around. They'll be sharing with us how they get to inspired to create. Like an endless exchange of ideas... Can't wait to unvail all these collaborations that will be popping up!
' and as you all remember [or not] I really do believe in the power of change through constant reminders. Of removing whatever is you feel that is taking away some of that happiness in your life. Last year, I dealt with some hardcore issues involving quitting my job on a whim, being incredibly unhealthy and lots of what I call 'family stress'. This book is helping me channel whatever it is that is left lingering, any past feelings of guilt, powerlessness and emotional blockage so I can overcome them and begin this path of finding happiness. Oh, and don't get me wrong. I'm not moping around or sad. In fact, I feel pretty happy already. But, I found that the key to keeping in check with whatever my goals are, is to constantly work towards them. Which is why I think making resolutions don't work.
