→ Blog Changes & Kitsch Vixen vs Kitsch Cait

Throwback Thursday: Taking a picture of my first ever camera-baby!

You may have noticed that I've been posting links to a site called "Kitsch Cait" on some of my social media sites. Don't worry though, Kitsch Vixen isn't going anywhere, it's just getting somewhat of a facelift (and a sister)! I tried to come up with a full list of installations that will be staying, moving, and added. I'm sure I'll move a few more things around or think of more types of posts I'd like to do. Here's what I've been able to think of so far:


→ Face of the Days
→ Outfit of the Days
→ Beauty Reviews
→ Fashion Reviews
→ Style Inspiration
→ Film/TV Style
→ First Impressions
→ Beauty/Fashion Wishlists
→ Beauty/Fashion Favorites

Kitsch Vixen will be focused more on beauty and style and less on some other things that I've been posting. It will stay my main blog and all of my social media accounts will stay under the name Kitsch Vixen. Some current features will be moved over to Kitsch Cait (like Sunday Social and Kitsch's Caboodles).


→ Monthly/Yearly Goals
→ Life Updates
→ Misc. Reviews
→ Sunday Socials
→ Misc. Wishlists
→ Quick Pics
→ Kitsch's Caboodles
→ Recipes (maybe?!)
→ Monthly Favorites (books, foods, TV, movies, etc)

Kitsch Cait is going to focus on more of the personal aspects of my life, as well as my journey through blogging, education, and mental health. If you're interested at all, please follow Kitsch Cait on Bloglovin!
Is there anything else you guys would want to see on Kitsch Vixen? Or Kitsch Cait? I'm very open for reader input!

I am now officially selling ads, as well as offering ad swaps for fellow bloggers, etsy shops, small businesses, etc. If you'd like the check it out, click here. Right now, this is only available for Kitsch Vixen.

You may have also noticed that I've changed the commenting system over to Disqus. I don't know about you all, but I think I'm loving it. What do you think?

If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask!

To Do List: 2014

Here's a lovely picture of Magenta totally enjoying her Halloween costume. You're welcome.

December 2013 Goal Updates

→ Keep up with a normal sleep schedule
Ugh, I don't know. I was doing alright, but then I wasn't. So, for all intents and purposes, we'll say I didn't achieve that goal.

→ Bake
Yes ma'am! I made Toll House Chocolate Chip cookies (soooo many!) and a Turtle Brownie thing.

→ Organize hallway closet
Nope. BUT, I was pretty sure that I wouldn't get around to doing this until early 2014 since I wanted to make sure that we had the Christmas stuff all packed up. I don't think this one was a fail, but just not really a good goal for December. Haha.

→ Decorate the apartment
Yep! Check out my awesome Christmas decorations here!

→ Plan a giveaway
I definitely have some things up my sleeve for this year. I'm excited for ya'll! Js.

→ Blog more often
I didn't blog more of my usual blog nonsense, but I think I did nicely with my Countdown to Kitschmas series.

→ Read a full book
Wow. I am disappoint. I have so many books that I'm dying to read, but nope, I did not read even one book in December. Wompwomp.

→ Decide on my next hair transformation
I'm pretty dead-set on keeping my half/half, but doing white and black instead of continuing with blue and pink. Unfortunately I haven't heard back from my friend who does my hair out here and the other lady who has an in-house salon doesn't have the necessary things, so... I'm probably going to ruin my hair by doing it myself.

→ Marathon the Die Hard movies again
You betcha! We watched the first two movies on Christmas (cos they're the Christmas ones) and finished up with movies three, four, and five the next day.

→ Curl my hair
I haven't even opened up my curling iron. Oops.

---

→ Explore Kyushu
I have two more years in Japan and I want to be able to say that I saw things and went places while I was living here.

→ Cook more
So far, so good. My goal is to do at least one home cooked meal a week and I've been cooking more than not since the beginning of the year!

→ Start in-home business
My AMAZING husband got me a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer so I can start selling baked goods while we're out here. I hate having to only rely on Ryan's paycheck, plus I love to bake, so it's a win/win!

→ Keep the apartment more organized
I feel like my space is a mess and I never feel calm when things are messy.

→ Enact makeup spending ban
I need to "shop my stash" and review all of the makeup I haven't gotten to yet!

→ Yoga
I actually went to my first physical therapy appointment this morning and I'll be doing daily stretches. I'd like to upgrade to actual yoga at some point. I loved yoga when I was a teenager and I need more zen in my life.

→ Budget better & save more
Ryan and I just redid our budget at the beginning of the new year; saving more and spending less!

→ Start therapy again?
Hm. I'm still not 100% on this one yet, but I figured that I would put it on the list.

→ Start using a blog calendar/organizer instead of just making lists
I bought a binder and filled it full of organize-y printables and I'm super excited. Js.

→ Reorganize blog
I'm thinking of launching a personal blog and turning Kitsch Vixen into just a beauty/fashion blog. I'll post more about that later!

What are your plans for 2014?
