September 9, 2014. That was the date of my last post. Since then, I’ve just been lying poolside doing absolutely nothing with my life. No projects. Nothing. Just pure relaxation and margaritas.

Right.

I took a break from blogging/social media when I started my full-time day job and focused on trying to find some semblance of balance in my personal and work life. During that time, I started hitting the gym a few nights a week to blow off some steam and try to fit into some decent work clothes. Regular workouts, coupled with an eating schedule that didn’t involve devouring frozen cookie dough throughout the day, helped me to drop a few dozen pounds.

Work has become more consistent now (and I have some exciting news to share about that soon), the house projects are back on the docket and I finally feel ready to dive headfirst (back) into blogging and sharing some of the fun things we’ve been working on. In addition to my usual renovation ridiculousness, I’m going to be adding some health and nutrition content, fashion/beauty posts, honest product reviews and some tasty recipes. If you haven’t already, feel free to follow along on Instagram (@elephant_buffet).

Let’s do this.
