Starting this project has been on my mind for some time now and I am glad to be finally taking the leap. 

Whenever I have a spare moment or a dull minute, my first instinct is to check my phone. And I hate it. I've been fighting it recently. It's harder than I am proud of. I enjoy the immediacy that technology brings, but the joy doesn't last. I expect that taking time away from my mindless use of technology will bring the lasting joy that it doesn't offer. I anticipate a challenge, but I trust that the long term payout will well be worth it. 

Our idea is to spend time reconnecting with the world naturally, through poetry and crafts and writing and exercise. Revolutionary, really. I'm excited to start. We want to spend time every day this way. Back to basics. Rewind time. Before phone. Before doomscrolling. I want to lose hours stuck in clay and paint and glue and an idea to create something fun that inspires me, something exciting that's not my phone. I'm tired of losing time to short-form content that I've forgotten how to enjoy. Back to basics. Start again. 

We chose to start this blog as a place to share our progress and our journey. I believe that writing everything down will help keep us accountable as we continue to grow and work towards our goals. And soon, one day, it will help us celebrate how far we've come. 

My hope is that this space becomes a reminder of our commitment and a source of encouragement and I'm excited to see where this journey leads.

Hello and Welcome!  We're so excited you're here for our very first blog post. We've been eager to launch this space and we’re so glad to share it now.  This blog is our little corner on the internet, it's our place to be creative, connect with other makers and crafters and celebrate the joy of natural living. We’re starting this blog because technology has slowly and recently become too consuming. We want to reconnect with the world and ourselves. We will use crafting and writing as a way to unwind, be expressive and turn our attention away from screens for hours and make something meaningful.  This blog will let us be consistent while we enjoy teaching each other, sharing project ideas and inspiring ourselves. When you read along we want you to feel welcome to do the same.  You can look forward to a variety of posts documenting our trials and tribulations with our activities. We’re excited to try new things, including: poetry; collage; sculpture; writing short stor...

                        Hi, it's a pleasure to have you here. I'm Elena, a girl who's finding a way to un-plug . Recently I've come to the conclusion that the attraction to satisfaction must come at a cost. In order for one to chase, one must be challenged. I present to you "75 Hard". A challenge created by the one and only, Andy Frisella, an entrepreneur, podcaster, motivational speaker and life coach. Andy started the project in year 2020, at that time Covid-19 had just sprung and he was developing the, 1st Phorm International. A company that  planned on helping athletes with nutritional supplements and sport performance.      So with all that said we, (my amazing partner Lucy and I) welcome you to our challenge to unplug, 75 Creative. As she calls it., our tiny corner of the internet, where we will begin to post regularly in the span of the next three months. Documenting our creative explorati...
