As I sit at the hairdressers getting my hair dyed a little darker and cut a little shorter I've been going through some emails that I have received from lovely readers and am doing a bit of thinking about how thankful I am for anyone who reads my blog. I have been blogging all up for about 3 years now; UnorthodoxSimplicity was created in May of 2014 with a post about my Year 12 Formal. I had created a blog back in 2012 but I got overwhelmed when I realised that people had started reading it... stupid, I know. I've explained this before but, briefly, I set my old blog to private on October 10th 2013 once I realised I was getting quite a lot of hits on my blog. [I realise that this may sound a little conceited] I initially made the blog for myself and kind of my little section of the big, wide world that is the Internet for me to express myself. Little did I realise I would be found by thousands of people. This was extremely overwhelming. So I set my blog to private.
