I recently saw a post about a blog birthday that immediately rang a bell, and I realised that my blog is also celebrating its anniversary in a few days. That day has now come, and today marks exactly 13 years since I started writing this blog. It's incredible to even write that down. It has already reached the age of a teenager. 😃

I still remember the excitement and how I started writing first just for myself, then also for my dear Readers.

This blog has seen so much. I've written posts from different locations, in different languages, I've grown both in my personal life and in my career during this time, and it's also changed who was by my side while working on them. There was a time for DIYs, for sharing my favorite celebrity outfits, but also for participating in blogger events and writing about deeper topics. The blog also received some blogger awards back when these were in vogue.

The world has changed, too. Years ago, blogs were so popular that we had a huge community. Then it slowly shifted to other platforms, but there are some bloggers who stayed and still enjoy the beauty of this platform. Now we've even entered a chapter in which many published texts are written by non-humans, but I remain true to my blog and my values. There is, namely, one thing that has not changed in me during this time: my love of writing and being creative. Even though I don't have as much time for this blog as I did years ago, it will always remain my favorite corner of the internet.

Here's to the past 13 years and I hope for many more. 🥂 Happy birthday to P&P style. 🎂

Lots of love,
