In this website, Shi writes about her experiences as an author, wife, mother, career woman and expat. I have been blogging since 2001 and wanted to have a clean slate where I can write about my life. The layout is modern and minimalist with neutral colors, yet still feminine.

Launched: 3 August 2019
Version: 1 – Beautiful Queen
CMS | Host | Registrar
This website is the online scrapbook of my life, cobbled together in hypertext and pixels. For the longest time, I wanted to build a personal site that was quite popular back in the Noughties. I just never had the time to do so, until the summer of 2019. Domain name was inspired by the Dothraki title of Game of Thrones lead character Daenerys Targaryen (who is more widely known as “khaleesi”). Layout is pink, black and white.

Shi’s blog on her personal aesthetic, inspirations and choices. Since way back when, I could describe myself as tasteful in my outward and internal expressions, but with just a dash of crazy to keep things interesting. Current layout is light and summery, with hues of gold and purple.

Shi’s blog containing beautiful, memorable and special vignettes from daily life. Domain name was inspired by the Weiss Kreuz spinoff manga (Japanese comic book) of the same name, which is wordplay on ran, Nihonggo for “orchid”. The Ranjatai itself is a very precious and rare piece of fragrant aloeswood and considered a national treasure in Japan. Layout is gorgeous grids of grey and white on various dreamy shades of pink.

Shi’s flagship blog, a journal featuring tasty slices from the life and times of an expat wife, mother and girl boss. The current theme is blush-hued, white and feminine, with hints of rose gold. By far one of my very favorite designs!

A ninja at heart

Registered: 23 April 2019
Launched: 26 April 2019
Version: 1 – Shadow Heart
CMS | Host | Registrar
Shi‘s blog on fandom, entertainment and beautiful things. This is the companion blog to the content of my fan sites under Shi.nu. I chose the name “shinobi” as it is a Japanese term generally synonymous with ninja, a shadow warrior. It also doesn’t hurt that the word contains my nickname/online handle, Shi. The current theme is beige, grey and bronze, inspired by dusk and shadows.
