Have you ever “changed” for someone because that’s how you thought they wanted you to be? Well I think I can safely say, that much of my blogging in 2012 reflected just that. It was my first year solely working as a blogger and writer and I’m pretty sure I lost who I was in …

But rather than just leave my nails flat with chalky pastel goodness, I added a little …
