Welcome x

Good morning...well...afternoon - almost. It's 11:50am, so let's just go with morning!
I felt it is necessary to begin with explaining what this blog is/will be all about.
Starting this blog has been something I have wanted to do for a while. I know blogs are usually made for the purpose of gaining a cult following etc, but this blog is really mainly just made for myself. Sure, having people read it would be amazing, but it's not the prime purpose.
I am nineteen (twenty in two weeks if you want to get technical). Ever since I was about eight I would always make pretend magazines. I'd make the entire thing. I'd design the cover, design the layout of all the pages, write the articles on "celebrities" (All of which I made up), fashion, boys, advice etc. As I got older, around twelve, I still had this passion for creating magazines. I got a laptop at this age and discovered Microsoft Power Point. I started taking paparazzi style photos of my younger sister and her friends and also fashion model type shots. So now, as well as the graphic designer, writer and editor of my magazines, I was also the stylist and photographer - I was running the entire show on my little home made hobby. My first computer made magazine was over 70 pages long. As I grew older, I stopped with this hobby as I was getting too old to play pretend and also school and having fun took up a lot of my time.
Today, I am at university, doing a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Media.

This blog has been created for so many reasons.
- I have a passion for writing
- I love taking photos
- I'm at uni, I work 1-3 days a week, therefore make peanuts. But I'm happy and still have fun.
- I'm not very into fashion...I believe in outfits that look good for you, your body shape and what you love...not what everyone else tells you to love.
- I want to show that you can look good, without spending $100+ and without needing brand names. (dont get me wrong, brand names are great, fashion is great etc, but thats just beyond the point of this blog).
- Tips on living el cheapo. 
- I want to show that bargains are around, you just have to know where to look!
- I want to share things, not just my material items, but aspects of my life on this blog too.

So I'm hoping by now, you have realised this blog doesn't exactly live up to its url expectations (my lavish life)...it isn't in fact about some billionaire living it up...Yes, the name is ironic, but I do believe being rich and feeling lavish doesn't just stem from money. There's a saying "Some people are so poor, all they have is money." And that's what this is all about.
Don't get me wrong though... I do plan on having a lot of money one day; you'll probably figure that out when I start posting more about my life.

That will do for now.
I've created an instagram account to go with this page: mylavishlife_x  ...follow!
