i’m sure you’ll find a balance writing content that makes you happy and feel comfortable and not too out there an personal for your tastes. it’s your blog, you have the right and you will do whatever you want with it. your vision is what brought all of us here, so i’m sure we’ll all love whatever you do. :) i just hope it doesn’t get too impersonal and start to feel like one of the many design/material ooh-that’s-so-pretty blogs that saturate the blogosphere.

we support you. much love.

Hi Julia – You just add my web address to whatever you use to read blogs, like google reader, or you can paste in the link on the sidebar that says RSS feed, which is http://forme-foryou.com/feed.

Just saw your blog after googling “snap out of it” an one of your entries appeared. I’m really loving it (and, might I add not finding it in the slightest bit materialistic!!) but I think I might be a bit of an idiot as I can’t seem to find where to subscribe?! Am I an idiot? I find lots of blogs & I don’t want to lose this one so would love to subscribe, if only I could find the button…

What you said about finding a balance between creativity, materialism, personal information, etc really resonates with me, and kind of articulates a lot about how i’ve been feeling going forward into the new year. I think life is a constant struggle to find balance. I wear many hats, and sometimes one gets left off for a while, or one stays on too long. I try to find some solace in the off balance moments, and appreciating the chaos every now and then can be rewarding. Adding a little bit of structure definitely helps even things out. I look forward to watching your progress, its inspiring.

I love your blog, and I have to admit your (attractive) point of difference is that you occasionally give us, the readers, a window into your world.

I believe in the long run when readers experience a narrative thread they feel a connection and an engagement with the other things you do, such as take photos and make / sell jewellery. And walking through LA! I live in Australia, but my best friend lives in LA… we will be trying out lots of secret walks when I return there next.

I really enjoy viewing and reading lots of blogs (daily!) with pictures and lots of collections of design-ey pretty things, but I must admit I am almost at saturation point with much of that – so many online stores also have blogs / lists now and I have noticed I am losing interest in that side of things overall… although when they come hand in hand with a little window into the writer’s world, well it seems to gain relevance – for me anyway.

I would suggest to take a look at the ‘sweet fine day’ blog – I reckon they definitely get the balance right between personal story, business and the like, I find myself dropping by there most days – just as I would like to do the same with your blog – it’s terrific!

Don’t be too hard on yourself and best wishes <3

I find that making lists of material things that I want helps me need them less — somehow making note of them satisfies my urge to obtain them.

Looking forward to more of your lists!

Look at what a smart, saucy, philosophical group of readers you have here just from the above comments. We’re all behind you on this one, Kate! You seamlessly blend in personal anecdotes into your internet finds, which is what makes *your* Awesome Stuff List for Non-Materialists Who Secretly Covet Awesome Stuff that much more interesting, so I don’t think you need to worry about a thing. As some people mentioned above one little mid-week link you post could mean the launch of a one-woman business on the other end of that link- so here’s to small businesses and the the power of blogs!

xo.

That pom pom string is so cute. Instant cheer, indeed. I’m a total lip balm junkie in the winter (extreme dry lips), this rose vanilla lip balm sounds so wonderful!

Even when I am absolutely in dire financial straits, I make room for little material purchases. There’s nothing like a little reward to make the tough times a little more bright. Especially when that little reward goes toward supporting another good person.

On that note, I finally got your lovely prints framed and hung on the wall. They certainly brighten my day when I see them! Thanks.
