If you are reading this it means my tireless planning and overthinking over the past months have finally produced something of worth- A Balancing Peach. A blog I originally wanted to pinpoint as a beauty, fashion or creative blog, but decided to simply make it a “life” blog. Or a “my life” blog.

Why? 

O goodness I don’t have any one clear answer! There are meaningful reasons where writing turned out to be an escape and there are reasons purely based around my love all things girly.  I love makeup. I love clothes. I love talking about makeup and clothes.  But I know life is so much more than simply loving what I’m wearing (!?!) and I want to make sure I keep track of everything that life should be made up of. So this blog is here so I can share and if I’m lucky maybe learn a little about myself.

What’s in a name?

Everything. Branding in today’s world seems to quickly separate out the successes from the failures and my only hope is to land somewhere in the middle. (Confession, I would maybe love it if this became a blinding success but I refuse to focus on that!) My main goal for this blog is to have it as a mirror of the balancing act “C’est la vie”- “That’s life”.

Quick fact about me I love alliteration , so so much. Naturally,  “The Balanced Babe” was the first name I considered for my blog…  With one small problem being that I’m no babe.

Babe to me implies a girl  who oozes “hot” more than “mess”  whereas I forever seem to be stuck in the “mess” part. I’m known as the perpetually late one in my group of friends, I know it takes longer to write a check to a locksmith than for them to break open into my house, and I have spilled so much wine on myself people probably think its my perfume.  

A peach, however, seems to be sweet, juicey and not perfect– ME.  A peach is much more me than a babe will ever be. And so A Balancing Peach became my name.

What can you expect?

A big learning curve.  Blogging so far is TERRIFYING! I absolutely adore the upbeat attitude at the Maskcara blog, Rich as Kings has the most stunning creative photos that I LOVE, and Kaitlyn’s Western Wild blog has everything a girly girl could dream of.

These blogs and countless others were created by beautiful  and talented women  who seem to have such a grasp on life and blogging; I’ll be lucky if A Balancing Peach can even emulate half of what these others have created .

A whole lot of ME. Which so far as you know is just makeup and clothes, but I have a lot of other obsessions! I love attempting to decorate my house, anything and everything to do with wine, carbs, new books I can’t put down, all my pets (two horses, one dog and one cat), and trying to balance my love of carbs with workouts and homemade recipes.

A goal for myself this year, besides being a notable blogger, is to be more “outdoorsy”. Growing up riding horses and playing tennis I was always active, but exploring the often gorgeous Wyoming landscape that I’m blessed to call home is well outside of my comfort zone.

I could keep going but instead I think if you are patient enough for future posts you can get a better idea of me and enjoy my balancing act as a peach.
