Useless Information

So, as you may have noticed, I dropped off the blogosphere for a while last year. Well to be completely honest MOST of the the year. I had some personal things that needed my attention and I also had German classes. Those were NOT fun. But I promise to be more on top of what goes on here. I can’t promise a new post every day but I will strive for one once a week. That’s my goal anyway. But just to give you a heads up. I will be going on vacation for 2 months this summer so I may not post every week then. I hope you understand. But thanks for sticking with me and thank you all for your lovely comments. And, if you would like to see my take on something then please just shoot me a line. Thanks again and I hope that 2010 has been good to you all so far.

So, some of you may know me and some of you don’t. That’s cool. I hope that those that don’t know me yet will stay a spell and get to know me. First, the name’s Chrissy. I am a stay at home Mom to my little doodlebug, Liam. I am originally from the mountains of Western North Carolina but in July 2004 I moved to Austria to be with my now husband. I love music, makeup, shopping, fashion and clogging. WHAT!?! What the crap is clogging you ask? Well, it’s a traditional Appalachian mountain folk dance. It’s greatly influenced by Irish Step Dancing and Canadian Step Dancing. Clogging often gets associated with Tap. But they are not even close. Clogging is on a down beat. The beat that people tap their toes to and clap their hands to. Tap is lighter and on the toes and is mostly on up beats. The beats of music that are in between the down beats. Also, different variations of clogging (i.e. flatfooting, contemporary) use different parts of the foot to get the sound desired. I started clogging at the age of 5 and received my Clogging Instructors Certificate at the age of 16 at the Sugarcane Mountain Dance Workshop. I competed all over the U.S. in N.C.H.C, C.C.A. and A.C.H.F sanctioned competitions. My competition team, Dance Explosion was even featured on an episode of “The Competition” aired on A & E.

So, on to what I would like to achieve with my blog. I am just looking for an outlet of communication and creativity. I always say that I am so full of useless information that I should start a blog about it all. So I did. This blog won’t be completely beauty oriented but it will revolve around it a great bit. I plan on doing reviews on products that I have tried, swatches, posting hauls, a day in the life of type things, music info, music recommendations, music reviews and most of all, offering you useless information. Maybe my junk is your treasure. Who knows. So, I am happy to have you all on board with me for this and if you have any suggestions then please shoot them my way. I hope you enjoy this and remember, I’m full of it!!!

Oh and here’s a little video of the competition clogging that I did for so many weekends of my life.
