The 'Squatch is back!

Hi, readers!

Boy, does this feel good - I've missed writing for you all!

Before I dive back into posting regularly again, I want to give you a couple of updates on myself and this blog, as well as ask for your feedback about what you'd like to see more or less of in future posts using a very brief (one page!) anonymous survey.

I'm sure a few of you are wondering what took me so long to get back into blogging. Well, I spent the first half of my hiatus finishing my junior year of college. Since then, I've been doing as much "smelling the roses" as possible - spending time with my family and friends, mostly. My boyfriend and I moved into the city and absolutely love living here. My family even got a new puppy - how cute is he?!

I also turned another hobby of mine into a small business - I've been keeping busy making eco-friendly, custom cosmetic organizers (lipstick holders, etc.) - with a bit of my boyfriend's help. If you're curious or interested, you can check out our website for more information!

Now onto more of the stuff you care about - while I have had a minor case of writer's block over the last few months, my arm has been doing just fine, so I've continued to swatch things whenever I felt compelled over the last few months. Consequently, I've developed a huge stockpile of pictures that I have yet to post for you. Some of the products may have been new and hard-to-find back when I swatched them, but are now old news - so hopefully you can bear with me if you see things you've already seen elsewhere. I assure you I will keep it exciting by showing you something I know you haven't seen before as often as I can!

Lastly, I have put together a ten-question, multiple-choice, anonymous survey to try to better understand what my readers like and dislike, as well as to run a few new ideas I have for the blog by you. It shouldn't take more than five minutes to complete, and I would sincerely appreciate it if you would share your input with me. Thank you!

Thank you, and you'll be hearing from me again soon! :)
