Shedding Skin

I'm guilty of having had many a blogs throughout time and this is no exception.  

Hi! Hello, hola, bonjour, hallo, ciao! My name is Cynthia Garcia and I'm a 29 year old girl living in Texas and loving life (cliche, right?)  I toyed around with the idea of starting yet ANOTHER blog and after some persuasion from one of my close friends I gave in.

The purpose and mission of this blog?  To post my current obsessions from clothes, to songs, to books, to food, to beauty products, to television shows, and well, you get the picture!  

So a little more about me:  

• I'm a Taurus (April 29).
• I graduated with my degree in Business Marketing with a focus on Retail.
• Almost everything about the 70s decade inspires me.
• I am a HUGE Hobbit and Lord of the Rings fan (not just the movies, I've read all the books numerous times).
• I believe that the world would be a happier place if everyone owned a pet.
• My favorite movie is Forrest Gump and my favorite color is glitter.

As this blog goes on y'all (yes, in Texas we do say "y'all") will get to know me a little bit better.  

Enjoy!

Tonight I realized that certain goals and dreams I had for myself are starting to come true.  I've started to branch out a little and I'm beginning to find my own identity, and I owe some of it to this little ol' blog.

Above was my very first entry in this blog.  It was published on 7/29/2014.  As stated in the second paragraph of the entry the purpose of the blog was to share some of my favorite things, nothing in specific.  But like most things that we create it ended up taking a life of its own.  

Through this blog I realized a few things: I loved shopping second hand, I loved sharing my finds with others, I enjoyed seeing what other people found while shopping second hand, and that I wanted to find a community of like-minded people.  These are things that I would have never used to describe myself prior to this blog.  

I've also found my style since starting this blog.  My style in clothing, music, food, make up, hair, people I like to surround myself with, how I want to be perceived, etc.  Not that I didn't make a lot of mistakes on the journey to finding my style, and there will still be mistakes to come, but I've really been able to hone in on ME!  It also comes with age (I'm on the way to 33 after all) and as I read through my old blog posts I slowly see my transition to who I am today.

Today I am a blogger, instagramer, second hand stylist, hand stitching seamstress, and founder of CE Treasure Box.  I'm excited to see where this blog and I will go in the future.  

I've always enjoyed sharing myself with others.  From the days of AOL profiles, AOL Hometown Pages, Myspace, Livejournal, etc.  And I'll continue to share with anyone who is willing to read my thoughts.  So thank you if you follow any of my social media outlets!  From facebook, to instagram, to this blog.  I thank you for being with me this long and hope you enjoy the ride to the future!
