Welcome to AmyUhrich.com – if you haven’t already guessed, a website/blog run by Amy Uhrich (coincidentally, me).
I’ve always been a fickle person. Pair that with perfectionism and you’ve got a girl who’s never satisfied. I’ve never been able to stick to just one project, or hobby, or career. Likewise, I can’t blog about just one subject. This website is an attempt to meld all my interests together in one place. I hope to prove that a twenty-something, fashion-obsessed creative writer with an unquenchable love for tarot and the arts can make her way in the blogging and business world.
This website is my venue for sharing fashion, tarot, art, literature, music, and anything else that strikes my fancy (believe me, this changes often). In addition to blogging I offer professional tarot readings, independently published poetry, and various creative and fashion-related goodies. My goal is to create a unique and delicious aesthetic; to live magically and highlight the wonder in life.
