It's Been 4 Years? Already?

♥

Hi guys! Today marks Pointless Cafe's 4 year anniversary! I can hardly believe it. Sometimes it seems like 20 years, but most of the time it just seems like last year I started all this.

When I started, I had no idea what I would write or if anyone would read it, but my husband had passed and I'd packed up all my art supplies, which I'd been using as an "outlet", so I just decided one day on a whim to start a blog. For the first few months, it had nothing to do with polish. I rambled on about various and sundry topics, keeping my polish love to myself. Favorite pre-polish posts? The Rat, The Monkey and the Y Chromosome, Thank Goodness for Quilted Toilet Paper, Teachers, Herding Cats and the Pear Tree, Mousecapades.

And then I just got frustrated over some gorgeous swatches of a polish that looked nothing like the swatches when my bottle arrived. I started looking around at some of the blogs I followed and found that very few actually showed what the POLISH looked like. The photos were stunning. Definitely great photographers, but what about the polish? Oh yes there were a couple back then who showed it properly, pretty photos or not. And they're still around, too. But they didn't have every polish I wanted to see. So I decided I would start blogging about polish. Of course since then, so many great bloggers have started so it's not hard to find accurate swatches of just about any polish now. But it wasn't back then.

I see so much improvement in mine since I started. And so much more room for improvement. I'll never be a fantastic photographer, but I try to provide accurate swatches of the polish in various lighting and some "pointless musings" here and there, with a generous helping of nail art when I have time. I've made so many great friends along the way and enjoyed talking to so many of the readers! It's been so much fun and I'm hoping it will remain fun for years to come!

Right now I'm on a sort of hiatus due to trying to move several states away and a lot of other stuff, but I WILL be back!

In the mean time, I just didn't have it in me to coordinate and run a huge blowout giveaway this time. So a brilliant friend of mine came up with this awesome idea of discount codes from a few makers!
