ABOUT

Mint Melange by Urban Mingo, formerly known as Urbansleekblonde, formerly known as Ann-Kay Design. Lol!
This blog is an occasional digital diary for me. And while I'm always happy to connect with and gain new readers from all over the world, I clearly do not write about one determined topic for someone, let alone for a so-called niche. I am not interested in making money here. The blog is a random mix of stuff from my life, hence the name Melange. And mint is my favorite colour.
