[Mog Monday] Alliance Mail

Patch 5.3
Hello everyone and welcome to my first official installment of "Mog Monday" here on isolte.blogspot.com, and because my main is an Alliance Shaman, we'll kick this thing off with an Alliance themed mail transmog! Hey Hordies, don't leave just yet! I do play a Horde Shaman as well, so expect to see plenty of Horde based "Mog Mondays" in the future. Also, even though there will be tons of Hunter and Shaman 'mogs (since mail is my expertise XD), I am planning other gear-type 'mogs for you Plate-wearers, Leather-wearers, and Clothies! So please stay tuned!

While there are lots of other fantastic "mog blogs" floating around out here on the intarwebs, I'd like to present a more thorough look at our favorite 'mog sets and place as much information in front of you as I can about how to obtain the specific pieces. Most of the 'mogs featured here on "Mog Monday" will be of my own "design" consisting of items that I've hand-picked and discerningly matched together myself. But there will be lots of new 'mogs coming up that have been designed and inspired by you, my friends and fans, and there will be lots of the very best "classic" 'mogs with a li'l Ember Isolte twist! Lastly, a feature of "Mog Monday" that I am most pleased to bring you is the included list of "Suggested Weapons" for all relevant weapon types! Now, let's get to it! *

Self Discipline: I Don't Has

Patch 5.3
Hey all! Firstly, thank you for following my blog as rarely as I've been posting. Secondly, I'd like you to know that I'm taking baby steps toward correcting my lack of blogging... And lack of a regular schedule in general!

Since the first thing I do everyday is check my email, I found a ToDo list iPhone app that will email me my weekly tasks on a given day! I've chosen Mondays to be my "Post a new blog day" and Wednesdays to be my "Post a new vlog (to YouTube) day". If this works out the way I'm hoping, you'll see new blogs from me every Monday and Wednesday.

And I really want to stop focusing on what to post about and just get in the habit of regularly posting. Because the more I worry about content, the less I end up actually writing! So, wish me luck and we'll see how it goes. :)
