ABOUT THIS BLOG

Well hello there and thanks for stopping by! If you’re here, it may be because:

You know me from the I love pretty things blog.

Or as the creator and designer of The Smile Collective manifestos and blog.

Or as the creative director and owner of Swish Design.

Or maybe you just know me as “Kelly Exeter” from twitter and haven’t got the faintest idea what I am all about!

Since I was getting a bit confused too, I decided to consolidate myself here at my personal blog.

So what’s this blog about?

This is a lifestyle blog and because it is written by me, it is all about my life{style} which can be summed up by the below:

It is a beautiful life

As a designer and an aesthete, I love all things beautiful and intend to write about them here. I will cover:

beautiful things I see;
beautiful things I covet; and
beautiful things I create myself!

It is a happy life

I am a happy person who loves other people to be happy. I can be really annoying about that!

So I will share about the things that make me happy. Things like reading, writing, running, being healthy {mentally AND physically}, family, friends – all that stuff.

It is a life less frantic

I’ll be honest, until now I have never lived a life less frantic. My whole life to date has involved me cramming as much as I can into each waking hour. In addition to owning my own business, I am a mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend. Most of the time, I am my own worst enemy!

2012 is all about tackling this head on and living a ‘slower’ life. Hence the mantras that you will see popping up again and again this year:

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should,
Beware of bright shiny objects,
BUT, if you can’t stop thinking about it, just do it.

Want to come along for the ride?!

If you like the idea of a beautiful and happy life – one that is less frantic – then climb aboard! You can subscribe to my blog, or come follow me on facebook. And of course there is always twitter.
