Hello everyone, and welcome to the second blog entry of the year…this might be it so don’t be surprised if you don’t hear from me for months lol. Today marks the ninth year of me running My Xpressions. When I make this type of post I usually talk about goals reached and upcoming goals I’ve made, but of course that hasn’t happened in a few years so there really isn’t much to talk about, but there is something I wanted to ask my readers.
I wanted to know would you still read my posts if I made them more personal, more about my everyday life with the occasional jewelry content? Like I’ve said in the past, I’ve all but lost all of my sources so I don’t know anything about the upcoming sales or promos or releases, I’ve lost a considerable amount of interest in a certain jewelry company, so I wonder. I’m a bit aimless when it comes to which direction to take from now on, should I just post about jewelry when I do have the occasional and rare tidbit of information? I don’t really know so I was hoping to take suggestions if my readers have any.
I hope this year is a better one from last year, a bit more transformative, a year where I can finally take control of my health and be more disciplined, a year where I finally find a job that i both like and can make somewhat of a living doing it, (but isn’t that the dream everyone else has too 🫠).
In any regards, I hope you comment down below with any ideas of where I can take this blog in the future, that’s why I called it My Xpressions, so that I am not limiting myself to just jewelry, I can make it about anything I want!
I love your Blogs Now and in the past! Happy Anniversary!!!

The videos you created which I watched most, were the juli 2018 charm collection ones. The music you edited on it, the overall ambiance… just very enjoyable to watch. Very soothing and uplifting, when life is what it is. You’re a great story teller.
In one of your video’s you’re talking about not being sure why you chose to buy the house you bought, when there was an airplane flying over I believe. This very moment I bought another house, and the relieve I’m feeling is overwhelming. This current house is a very good one, at an excellent location. But the “vibe” is just off, other than that I can’t describe it. Suddenly I remembered you talking about not being so sure about your new home, being the right one for you. So I started to watch some of your old video’s again, and listening to what you were saying. And now I’m here on your blog after a long time. What I’m trying to say is, if it was all about the jewelry and nothing else. It wouldn’t be interesting. All those video’s of jewelry just being showcased, are not giving me the ‘cozy feel’. Or the escaping normal life for a moment feeling, yours actually do. Just a normal video, I would never re- rewatch. So to answer your question, would you watch or read stuff which isn’t all jewelry related. The answer is yes.
Since you’re a great story teller, plus you’re creative. Maybe you could make a children’s book in memory of your sweet fur baby, written for your other heavenly baby you never got to hold in your arms, in this life. Maybe that book will sell very well, maybe not. But the journey making such a book could be very interesting. I certainly would follow that story, seeing the creative process build up.
Best wishes for your health, and it’s lovely to see you back with a new video and blog.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I hardly come by to my blog anymore because like I had expressed before, my interest in a particular brand has faded quite a lot, but there are a few things I still like about their collections. I have been pondering whether to keep this blog going and I had thought it was time to close it down. But there is one thing that is going to happen very soon that is going to change the life of my husband and myself (not trying to be dramatic but it is something we have been working on for years now), so perhaps that event would make it worthwhile to keep this blog going. I am very pessimistic and tend to need a lot, like A LOT of ongoing encouragement to keep stuff going, I have asked my readers in the past before if they would mind if I switched gears and a lot of them have said they would still come to read my blog, regardless of the content, but for some reason I just haven’t fully pulled that trigger yet. I did when I discussed my grief over the passing of my family members and my doggie, but I still find myself pulling back for some reason. Maybe because I’m still in a very vulnerable place, however I don’t think I will ever not be in a vulnerable place.
Your comment made me sad and nostalgic of the good old days when I really cared about this company and the charms they used to make…I remember wanting to buy EVERYTHING and never waiting for a sale to just buy whatever my heart desired. Oh how things have changed. I do miss the times when I would talk about what my charms meant and showcase all my pretties. I do keep meaning to come back and make those types of videos again, I just hadn’t had to will or the time to do so. When my pc died AGAIN it was harder for me to make videos because I much prefer to edit on my pc rather than on my phone. I’ll try to make at least one more video before we have to go on a type of business trip that will take us out of the country for a little while, hopefully I can make two!
But thank you again for reminding me of how much I enjoyed making videos, and how much people used to enjoy them!
