the real first post


Hi there, you might remember me from a small and unknown blog called The Cornflower Blues but I've decided to give birth to another little online space - TCBCD, a little portal for beauty and style writings & tidbits, *crowd cheer*.

This idea to create a separate and focussed blog about this genre of topics had been on my mind since September as these sorts of posts always felt out of place on my original blog, even though I love it when other blogs can mix it up.  I ended up shelving this idea but last night, it hit me how much this stuff has become part of me, of not just expressing myself but actually being myself (will probably have a long yarn about that at some point) and that is something I want to keep doing.

TCBCD's name comes from my original blog The Cornflower Blues, but is the Colour Diary edition.  It has a completely different look as it's a bit of an escape from my main interweb endeavours. My own take on these sorts of things will be more like writing in a notebook rather than a how to. I really know squat about things from a "professional" point of view and will never intend to instruct or guide, especially when there are others that do that better and this is a bit of a fun, side project for myself. My main jam is to just to be and express myself and the journo inside me likes to write and pen thoughts down.

Even though I shelved the idea for this blog for months now, I've continually have had post ideas pop up which I like to take as a sign to do this! And I'm so glad to be able to have a space to let them all out without worrying about it not fitting in with other posts. Funny how things suddenly fall into place. 

x, mai-anne
