A New Year & New Beginnings

Happy New Year!

I’ve really dropped off the face of this blog in 2015, but it’s not because I’ve lost my love for blogging. In fact, it’s the exact opposite.

I’ve been working non-stop on Day Job Optional, my digital nomad resource and blog dedicated to traveling and lifestyle design. It has inspired me to change my entire life, and I recently quit my job and am making plans to spend the new year traveling.

First up? Costa Rica! I leave in 28 days for an eight day adventure in the jungle and on the beaches of Limón.

Since I’m narrowing down my focus for the new year, I won’t be around Hey Mishka much. That may change in the future, but for now I invite you to come over to the DJO facebook group and hang out, join the mailing list, and get inspired.

I truly wish you the best for 2016, and I’ll be back to let you know how everything is going. ;}

One last thought:

I’m putting my Etsy shop, Bombay Mermaid, on hiatus as well while as I move closer to going full digital.

As much as I adore that shop and everything I’ve worked toward with it, I’m trying not to hang onto physical inventory. You can use code MERMAID2016 for 50% off everything in the shop until January 28th. Thanks for everyone who has supported then mermaid mission for the past two years.

Until next time…

Michelle Christina Larsen (a.k.a. Mishka) founded heymishka.com in 2008, and has since documented her love of DIY, vintage, and creative living here. She curates and sells vintage fashion at Hey Mishka Vintage and runs the annual Sugar x Spice Holiday Makers Market in Brooklyn each holiday season. When she's not blogging, hunting for vintage, or doing DIY projects, Michelle Christina writes marketing copy for fashion brands and helps freelance writers grow their careers at Day Job Optional.

HEY! I'm Mishka (or Michelle Christina, MC, Meesh... depends who you ask).

This is my sparkly little corner of the internet, where I've been blogging since 2008.

I created this blog because I believe life should be fun. Life should be creative.
Life should be festive.

Of course, life is other things too, but these three things get pushed to the back burner as soon as we hit the "real world" of adulthood, and I believe that to be the underlying cause of so much emptiness and stress in modern life.

This space is dedicated to adding a bit more fun, creativity, and festivity to your day, so you'll never forget that there's always something to smile about.

I live in Brooklyn where I write, curate vintage, and dream up DIY projects. I strive for creativity and joy, but never perfection. Perfection is never the point around here. So let's make a colorful, lovely mess together!
