Wow, my eyes are watery just coming back here. I probably come back once a year to remind myself that I am a bad ass bitch! And I mean that in the most humbling way. Not in a physical way, but in a mentally.
The real reason I even started this blog was to find a way to be my true self. I am a mother, friend, daughter, sister, and many more things that mold me. But when I am not wearing those titles, I am just Traci. Which includes writing, styling, art, food, and passion for all things culture. Here! Here is where I was always unapologetically me! Selfishly me!
When covid hit, I thought we were all done for. I even bought boxed wine for the first time lol. Yeah, I know! Surprisingly, it didn't taste as bad as the bottom shelf wine we've all had in some point in our life. While I sipped cardboard wine, I started thinking of all of the goals I still want to accomplish and all of the things I haven't experienced yet.
One of my goals I am proud accomplishing is Just Mariklo. So why did I stop? Life? Instagram? Modernization? All excuses in the end. I started this blog not only for me, but for everyone else like me.
People who love all things food, fashion, art, and culture. People who love to read! And people who just need a break and come here for it.
After 4 years of being on a hiatus from blogging, that I once thought was "dead", I realized I am not a follower. And the 20 consistent people who still come here once a month to read this blog, will agree.
So for now bare with me while I figure out this newish journey. And I will go back and add my favorite looks from over the years.
In the meantime, I want to hear everyone's funny surviving Covid quarantine stories. Did you buy boxed wine like me? Did you create a new "hobby" that you never went back to? Did your kids drive you crazy and you snuck away to the "store" ,but really sat in your car to watch Netflix in peace? Let's hear it!
Bye for now...
Traci
