A Lovely New Blog

I love book blogs. There is always something new and exciting there for me to discover. Just tonight, I discovered Michael Connelly’s new book The Scarecrow from reading Drey’s review (and then I immediately entered Dar’s contest with finger’s crossed!) and a lovely new book set in India entitle Atlas of the Unknowns by Tania James from Meghan’s latest post. There is so much to keep me busy in the book blogging realm that I often forget that there are other types of blogs out there.

Recently I started working on a project at work that involves recreating my company’s exisitng Intranet site. I’m working with Lauren in the HR department. We started talking about books and then blogging. She has just started her own blog called Lovely Life of Lauren. Lauren describes herself as follows:

girly girl. lover. dreamer. optimist. daughter. friend. professional. dancer. shopper. singer-in-the-shower. writer. hair-twirler. reader. party-goer. chocaholic. dog owner. romantic. adventurer.

Seriously, you’ve not seen hair-twirling until you’ve watched Lauren at work. LOL! Her blog is just beautiful and stylish. It so fits Lauren’s personality. You never know what you might find there. You might see a beautiful dress that Lauren’s thinking about buying (if I had her figure, it would already be in my closet!), a tip on some great facial cleaner, beautiful photography, ceramics, and information about the books she is reading (Gorgeously Green in case you’re wondering). It’s so eclectice. It makes me happy.

If you need a little inspiration in your day, you’re looking for a change of pace, or you just want to browse for some beautiful pictures or motivational quotes, you should check out Lovely Life of Lauren. I wish I had seen her post about her HR certification test (don’t let the bastards keep you down, Lauren!) earlier – one so I could have given her a hug in person, and two so I could have used the following picture taken by Mary Ruffle in my review of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Wouldn’t it have been just perfect?

I read very few personal blogs myself. I often forget that they exist and assume everyone has a purpose-driven, sole subject blog like ours. I like how you can deduce so much of Lauren’s personality from her blog. =)

That picture would definitely have been perfect!

Thank you for linking. =)

I checked out her blog it is fun and chic. I am looking to re-design my blog. I saw a picture she has by the pool side with sheer drapes. It would be perfect if I could find something like that. She is marvelous. Thank you for your post.
