Hi Everyone!
How I have missed blogging! This hiatus has reminded me how much I genuinely enjoy blogging and precisely why I do it. As some of you know, most of my time since the beginning of August has been spent working on "The Tip". Today at 11am we finally went LIVE.
So yes..... please bookmark

Log on, read, view all the pictures from the VV Brown shoot and spread the word!
Working on "The Tip" has been such an intense experience (I'm writing this post after having just 4 hours of sleep eeek), but it has been rewarding! I've been able to collaborate with a group of creative, talented, tenacious and ambitious young people, none of whom are willing settle for less than the best.
Whilst putting this together, I have fretted more than I ever have in my life. I have perfected the art of being an insomniac who over-thinks, over-works and over-tweets inappropriate statements late at night. I've learnt that if you neglect doing your hair for too long even your dad will subtly hint that you need to get it done. I've also been the beneficiary of an immense amount of support from family and friends.
The most humbling element of this experience is discovering that humans are kind. Seriously. Humans are kind. Though I don't like to admit it I've always had a Hobbesian view of the world and human nature. During this experience people I have never met have been so kind and helped me even though they don't need to. Without such people "The Tip" would be no more than a bunch of (shoddily drawn) sketches on my bedroom floor.
Anyway! I'm not trying to create any contrived Oprah moments. And considering how much these people have done, a blog post just doesn't suffice. I was going to write about my favourite articles on "The Tip" and recommend them, but I don't want to project my preferences on you. Log on (yes that is another shameless plug) and read away. There's so much going on right now that I need to blog about. Even though I've been quiet of late, I'm going to get back into the flow (promise!). I just need some sleep, some brandy and a pair of shoes.
Sidebar: Yes I said a pair of shoes, buying shoes is the ultimate energy boost. I think I deserve a pair, it's been so long since I last purchased some shoe porn, I'm practically a stiletto virgin.
Finally, thank you to every single person that helped me get "The Tip" off the ground. You are amazing.
Love & Light,
Christiana
