GLOSSIER SKIN

I love Glossier for their skincare and their makeup. I like to type things on this blog. Lorem ipsum dolor solot.

CATCH-UP WITH ME

Yikes, it's been an entire month since I've posted, but I promise I haven't forgotten about this blog! I've been working hard to fulfill those last two New Year's resolutions, and I think it's been an overall success so far. Unfortunately, that meant that I was buried in the amount of work I had to do, and I just haven't had the time to pick up my camera and go on a shoot lately.

The last few weeks have been hectic schedule-wise as I try to juggle work, commuting, school, internship applications, portfolio, and a semblance of a social life this quarter. But despite being busy from dawn to the late night hours, I think that this is the most content I have been in a long while.

I feel like I had taken a year-long break in 2017; my mind just wasn't where it was supposed to be, and my surroundings felt distant. Since the beginning of this past quarter, I had felt like I had finally woken up from that haze, and it's as though I'm actually experiencing my life again. That being said, I've just been putting all of my energy into my work and school, so I haven't been hanging around on social media much. Here's what I've been up to the past couple of weeks:

1. PORTFOLIO GRIND

Yup, I've finally updated my work portfolio! It's been a long while in the making, and most of the project pages are still not 100% finished, but the brunt of the work has been done now that I have a consistent theme and established brand. I have a feeling that it's going to be one of those projects that will be eternally under progress, but I'm happy that it's finally on its way to being complete. I've moved to a totally new platform, and I'm excited to get those projects up there!

NEW YEAR, WHO DIS?

We're fifteen days into the new year, and I'm so excited for what 2018 has to bring. As you can tell, I've cooked up a shiny new theme for this blog-- it seems that it's become a sort of tradition to modify my site at the beginning of every new year. But really, the start of every calendar year has always inspired me to further explore my creative pursuits.

I know several people who think that New Year's resolutions are superficial, but I think that the notion of a "fresh start" in our hectic society is much-needed. Though we should always be setting goals for ourselves, the new year reminds us that there is always a time set aside to create resolutions and pursue them. Then collectively, we can support each other at least once in a year.

That being said, I've put together a little list of my 2018 resolutions! I try not to be overly ambitious with my goals nowadays (aim high, but not too high), so they're really quite simple:

01. Experiment with Photography

I had fallen into a creative roadblock in the past few weeks, and I no longer felt like my photos were particularly improving in style. Though I enjoyed my pastel-colored photos and blog, it also felt restricting in the sense that I felt that I couldn't post photos that didn't fit the theme. With this much simpler and cleaner theme for Cake Potato, I feel that there's more room to experiment with photography on this blog while sharing my experiences.

02. Drink More Water

Admittedly, I'm the worst at staying hydrated. I often forget to drink water (sometimes for a whole day), and then when I'm absolutely parched, I just drink a lot of water at once before the cycle repeats. I want to do away with chapped lips this year, so I'm trying to keep a water bottle at my side at all times!

ANOTHER POST

I love to post about things on this blog. At Code for Social Good, we understand the struggle of nonprofit companies. And as a nonprofit company ourselves, we seek to provide other such organizations with the technical help they need-for no charge whatsoever.

I'M REINE.
