It seemed there was quite a bit of interest in setting up a Yakezie Blog Swap specifically for lifestyle topics. With the blessing of our members, I'm running with the idea. The Yakezie Lifestyle Blog Swap is open to personal finance and lifestyle bloggers, but the topics should all be lifestyle based.

Per the Lifestyle section: "Lifestyle is a term to describe the way a person lives; A set of behaviors, and the senses of self and belonging which these behaviors represent, are collectively used to define a given lifestyle.

A lifestyle is a characteristic bundle of behaviors that makes sense to both others and oneself in a given time and place, including social relations, consumption, entertainment, and dress. The behaviors and practices within lifestyles are a mixture of habits, conventional ways of doing things, and reasoned actions.

A lifestyle typically also reflects an individual's attitudes, values or worldview. Therefore, a lifestyle is a means of forging a sense of self and to create cultural symbols that resonate with personal identity. "

We thank everyone for their participation in this, as it really gives the Yakezie lifestyle section a boost.

SO....several of you said you would be interested in hosting and participating in a swap like this. I currently have it scheduled for every three weeks and I'll kick off the first week. Please sign up in the Google Docs form.
