After blogging for 10 years, I have decided that it's time to rebrand Verastic. Sure, Verastic has gone through minor changes in the past anyway, but this is the biggest, most dramatic change I have ever made. Verastic will be evolving into a new kind of site. Starting from April 15th 2016, Verastic will become a fashion and beauty blog that will focus on political views in the spiritual realm of gossip, blogging school, food, and DIY. I kid, I kid!
