My name is Suzana. I have been expressing my thoughts about saving the Zlittle Frugal Life blog since 2006, but a new job and a busy schedule prevented me from blogging about things that inspired me the most. Well! Maybe that’s just my excuse :) As you may have seen at Zlittle.com, my inspirations usually revolve around frugal fashion, homemaking and design ideas.
Now it’s 2012; I feel like a new beginning is in order. I am redesigning my blog (using the frugal and free WordPress of course), spicing it up and planning to share my thoughts and ideas with you regularly this year.
I don’t have a degree in the arts or anything like that but I just love being creative. When I grew up, I didn’t have much, so creativity became my friend. When you don’t have things then you have to be creative and create your own from little or nothing. That’s where my eye for creativity comes from.
Here are a few big reasons why I decided to start blogging after being so quiet for the past 4 years.
- Not because I’m trying to be narcissistic. I just want to use my blog as a tool to lose weight. I want to post my pictures all over my site as a reminder I need to lose weight. Before, I don’t care much about myself, now since I posted a few of my pictures, I began seeing things that I didn’t see before. Can I say blogging for ”a better me?”
- Being a petite person (“petit” is an euphemistic way to say a woman is short) with a pear-shaped body type (By the way I’m only 4”11. Shoes size 5), and big toward the bottom – finding the right outfit for my body shape sometimes can be a little bit challenging. If you are petite pear like me? Don’t be discouraged. You are not alone. That’s the reason I came up with this Zlittle. I want to be an inspiration not just for myself but also other petites out there who have a similar body dilemma like me.
Live More, Spend Less
My desire is for living more and spending less. I love fashion, interior design, arts and crafts BUT in the context of frugality. I believe “less is more.” Most any woman can be stylish when she has the budget to shop for expensive clothes. You have probably seen a lot of style blogs elsewhere; the new Zlittle is no different… except for the “Price Tag.”
You can be fashionable even if you have $10 in your pocket. Fashion should not be complicated. Express your inner style and create your own, be a trendsetter for yourself.
If you don’t have money to buy an expensive clothes, that’s okay. There’s more than one way to skin a cat. Don’t let money keep you from being unfashionable.
Some of what I share here in my blog:
- How I come up with my designs
- How much money I spend to create the designs
- Where you can get designs like this yourself
So stay tuned and let me know what you think about Zlittle. Contact me at suzana[at]zlittle[at]com.
Ps: I want to give an appreciation and honor to my one and only husband Emory Rowland for his contribution, for being so patient in dealing with me when taking the pictures and editing my blog. I Love You, Honey.
By the way here’s my silly Husband . The sign says don’t trip but he still tripped (ha…ha..ha..hah)
