Tea Time No. 1 | Formal Introductions

Welcome to the new lividovid.com! 

Along with this new redesign, I am introducing a new lifestyle blog under the LividOvid brand that will serve as my platform for covering all things personal and business in my life.

For a while now I've been wanting to start a lifestyle blog. Being the perfectionist that I am, however, I couldn't commit to such a project without having everything planned and in place. There's this constant pressure and expectation that you have to live this sort of lavish and thoughtfully curated life when you run a blog like this. But it's a good kind of pressure, I think - it'll keep me straight and focused. 

As I thought about what content I wanted to create, I quickly realized that there will be many areas I could and will cover since there are many topics related to my photography business and my personal life. And with all these many topics, I want to make sure everything is neatly organized and formatted to my standards - which, aren't always set in stone but continue to develop. Expect to see a lot of fashion, food, travel, technology, music, photography, business, finance, and whatever else I may be into at the moment.

What I hope to impart to readers of this blog is inspiration and knowledge for those may need some guidance or affirmation once in a while. I imagine my audience to be very much like me - working professionals aspiring to be an independent, stylish, intellectual adult getting through life's challenges with the utmost poise and class.

Tea Time is a bit of an homage to an idol of mine, Andrew Kim, and his series Coffee Time where he expresses his thoughts and opinions. My Tea Time series will be similar, covering my opinions, experiences, and reflections about life and work.

This website redesign was, for me, very symbolic. It's an expression of my confidence as a photographer and how serious I am about wanting to continue building upon this business and upon my LividOvid brand. At the same time, I'm becoming more accepting of the adult I'm supposed to be. I wanted to journal my experiences and what I've learned and eventually reflect upon the progress I've made. Little by little I'm chiseling away to form a more refined and polished me. And my products and my brand will reflect that as well.

There are so many new exciting things in the works for LividOvid Studios and I can't wait to share it.

Today's tea, by the way, is a blooming Peach Momotaro from Teavana.
