Practical Charm

Monday, January 22nd, 2007 @ 3:43 pm | Web-logger

In the process of getting myself a new server, I got myself into a little collaboration with best-babe April. Yes, after years (and I mean YEARS), of hanging out with each other, and sharing our deepest, darkest secrets (we even share secrets we don't tell our men), we've finally decided to do the blogging thing together.

In comes 'Practical Charm', a some-what 'practical' version of the popular Beauty Blog. Of course there were other reasons for having the blog, one of which being the attractive possibility of earning some kind of income from blogging. Now I've done this before, and I left it behind because I couldn't possible keep to a particular theme on Minishorts, and I didn't want to do that. But with Practical Charm, where the theme is Beauty, and all things Fashion, we could finally maintain a 'theme' within the blog.

The best part is, Beauty and Fashion IS something that all girls love.

Here's snippet from Practical Charm's About page, which I think best describes how the site's going to work out:

Practical Charm is all about living fashionably in a city that demands practicality. So while we have every woman's fantasy, and when it comes to shopping, there's the dreadful realization of pitiful budgets, among others.

Fortunately, as women we are resourceful creatures, so we make do, and we do the best. And we come here to talk about what we want, what we managed to get, what we're going to get, and what we're NEVER going to get.

Of course there's going to be some kind of difference when it comes to our differing contributions. April's the one who's more enthusiastic about pretty things, the type who's always on the prey for beauty tips and trailing the latest trends, that's why she's got that hobby of making luscious accessories. I'm the more practical person, the one who thinks about budget, the one who looks glam only on VSOs (very special occasions) and whose habits of procrastination always leads me to give in to plain simplicity.

Now I'm positive that our differences will blend will to give Practical Charm the right balance to make it in this ever competing world of blogs. And yes we both agreed that Practical Charm would be a great way to seek revenue, and we believe it's going to be a success, seeing that the themes for the new blog is about something that we (and all women) love.

Do visit my new site, please?
