I still love dying… Easter Eggs
Posted by Purely.. Kay in DIY, The Kitchen on April 2, 2012
Does anybody remember getting dressed up, by your parents, on Easter and feeling itchy in your clothes as a child? I know I do.. and I think it was worst for girls because we had to wear that stupid bonnet (which I would conveniently throw in the trees when my mother wasn’t looking *laughs*). Yes, I will admit.. I didn’t like the dress, but I loved dying Easter eggs. It’s an art and it provides much needed family fun. So if you want a new and fresh way to style your Easter eggs this year, check out this article. Now if only I could get out of this work vacation.. let’s hope I will be back to answer comments by Thursday. Thanks for supporting me through this you guys. Happy Monday. photo {via}
Re-Brand Me
Posted by Purely.. Kay in My Diary on March 19, 2012
There comes a time in a blogs life, when it has to grow up and become what it’s really meant to be; and if you own a blog, you might understand this statement. Right now, Pure Complex, is being re-branded as we speak. Last year, I promised my readers (the best audience and blog family in the world I might add), that I would share more of myself, more amazing and unique art, and more inspirational things in general. I intend to keep that promise. So if the menu, footer image, side panel, logo for this blog, or content changes or becomes more original.. don’t be alarmed. It’s just me helping this blog be a grown up (smiles).
Re-branding, any blog, can be a challenge (if you didn’t do it right the first time); but it can also be fun. So if your blog finds itself in need of a change.. here are some tips, I’ve learned, that might help…
1. Write down your blogging goals: Where do you see your blog going in the next 2-5 years? What do you want to accomplish with your blog? This will help guide you to the success that you want.
2. Do what you love: I’m so happy to blog about what I love.. but a lot of people haven’t found their niche yet. Take a moment to think about what makes you happy and what you really want to blog about. Once you figure it out, begin to slowly take steps to change your blog around. You may lose some of your audience, but you will regain more in the long run. Remember, if you blog about what you love, people will come.
3. Sometimes you may not need to do a major overhaul to re-brand your blog… you may just need to redesign your blog design. Of course this is easier said than done, but if you don’t understand CSS or any other HTML lingo, seek help. There are inexpensive, but great designers who would love to help (check out Etsy and search for “Blog Design“). This article can also help you decide to re-brand or re-design.
I adore and appreciate all of you for supporting this blog and I can promise that nothing will change dramatically here. There will still be inspirational post everyday.. but they will be original (which I am happy about and expect the originality in 3-4 months). Enjoy the day
Love is wonderful..

Have you ever began a day when you didn’t feel inspired or as happy as you usually are? Yeah.. me too. So.. when that happens, I begin to think about the love I have for my family & good friends; and instantly, my frown turns into a smile. Love is powerful. And this quote, by the most prolific African-American artist of our time, Maya Angelou, says it all. Smile today 
Love Me.. Everyday..

I’ve never been a HUGE fan of Valentine’s Day.. because I believe we should show our loved ones how much we care EVERYDAY. But since this is a day of love.. I wish you and yours a wonderful VDay (smiles). Photo for Thought
Another Round…
Posted by Purely.. Kay in My Diary on February 11, 2012
As promised.. here is another round of 10 questions.. answered by your host.. the wonderful and the tired Kay (the crowd goes wild). Well, everyone should have a cheering section somewhere in their head to flatter themselves ( laughs & smiles).
1. Describe yourself in seven words
Loving, Caring, Friend, Sweet, Supportive, Artist, and Unselfish. My mother always taught me to know my self worth.. it took me some time but I know now (smiles).
2. What keeps you up at Night?
Creativity (laughs). When I try to go to bed, something happens in my brain where I start to get amazing ideas for the blog or for art pieces I know I can create. I don’t know what it is.. I but I get the best ideas at night, and in the shower (laughs).
3. Who would I like to be?
Me. Please don’t take that comment and think I’m conceited, but I don’t want to live in anyone else’s shoes but my own. I believe we all have something unique that makes us.. us. We are all here for a purpose.
4. What am I wearing right now?
Oh sheesh lol… it’s night-time here (get your mind out of the gutter *laughs*). I’m wearing black leggings, a relaxed V-neck tee, with a cup of chamomile tea in my hand. Okay the tea had nothing to do with the question.. but I love this tea (laughs).
5. What scares me?
Waking up and noticing my family is gone. Of course that will never happen but, that would scare the life out of me. I’m also a bit scared of spiders and rats. Yes I live in NYC but I don’t like rats (laughs).
6. The best and worst of blogging.
To me the best of blogging consist of two things.. meeting new people and sharing a little of myself and creativity with the world. I love meeting new people (I get that from my grandmother) and so many of you have taught me so many wonderful things. Thank You. I also never thought I’d share myself, but I’m having a ball doing so (smiles).
The worst thing about blogging is the SPAM. I am not a SPAM lover (laughs). And I dislike seeing my blog pinged by spam websites. So when I get angry about it, I just think “I must be amazing.. that’s why they’re spamming me” (laughs so hard).
7. The last website I visited.
This very blog (smiles). I usually check my blog before going to bed.
8. What is the one thing I would change about myself.
I can be a bit impatient when I’m very excited about something (smiles). For example: If I was visiting Paris tonight, with a friend, I would be up and ready 5 hours before my flight and rush them to get ready too (laughs).
9. Slankets yes or no?
What the heck is a slanket? (laughing hard). Just give me a warm Ikea MYSA STRÅ comforter and I’m happy.
10. Tell us something about the person who tagged you!
Well I was tagged by two wonderful bloggers.. Betsy of Bits and Breadcrumbs & Craves Adventurer.
* Betsy always has something wonderful on Bits and Breadcrumbs. Just the other day she posted a deviled egg recipe that I loved. So, I proceeded to make them one night when I was snacky (smiles). Her blog just has a wonderful presence and if you don’t visit.. you will certainly miss something special.
* What can I say about Craves Adventurer that the title doesn’t already say (smiles). From the inspirational messages, to the travel spots I can’t wait to visit.. yes, I definitely enjoy being immersed in her blog. She even got a song stuck in my head for an hour (laughs). Make sure you visit.. especially if you crave adventure.
I have enjoyed sharing myself with you, my blog family.. & I hope you’ve enjoyed reading it. Happy Saturday!
