Happy New Year!


A lot happened to me during the last few months of last year. I moved, I didn't blog, I was feeling down about myself, and I got a job. Even though I uploaded blog posts, it wasn't my usual ones. For some reason I just didn't feel like blogging or had the passion to. At first I didn't know why, but then I figured it out; I wasn't completely being myself. This blog is 100% me, but I pick and choose want I want to talk about. Although I will not talk about certain things like family, I will start to be more open. Sometimes I'm worried that I may not be cool like other bloggers. But I've decided that it's time to stop worrying and just have fun with blogging. So starting now that is what I intend to do. I don't just want to limit my blog; I want to expand.

Soon I will be going into my 4th year of blogging and it seems like just yesterday I started. Although, I still have months to go till then. I want who ever reads my blog to feel like their talking to a friend. I want people to feel comfortable reading my blog. I don't want this to feel forced. I honestly love blogging and I could blog everyday. But sometimes not knowing whether someone would read my blog, has held me back. As of now that is going to change. I won't know until I try, right? I guess you can I'm taking my blog to the next level. I am not the most organized blogger, but it works for me. I've had a lot of great opportunities happen for me last year. I am so grateful.

I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year and I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. If you're a dreamer like me, this is your year to be great and to do what makes you happy!

Helpful Posts/Sites For Bloggers

Being a blogger is not easy at all, whether it's a hobby or a job. Every blogger works so hard to put out quality work. But sometimes it can be a struggle. While in a blogging rut I came across a lot of posts that have helped me gain confidence. These posts also helped me realize my creativity; all I needed to do was use my noggin! But before you click on the links below, I'm going to explain what these links mean to me. I don't want to bore you but I'm hoping these will help you too.   Everytime I get into a blogging rut I always look at my blog design. Thinking that the design I have is always the problem, I go and I spend money to change it. In reality the major problem was myself. Now don't get me wrong, designs I've had were beautiful it just wasn't for me. During my long "break" or breakdown I did a lot of searching. I'm pretty sure you all heard of Etsy, am I right? This is where I found two shops that have helped me tremendous...

Finding My Passion For Blogging Again

  At some point in time, when your heart isn’t into something you should take a break. Blogging is great and I couldn’t see myself without it. However sometimes it can get overwhelming and that’s what happened to me this year. For about eight months I have not blogged and I thought I was a bad person for that. I have realized that it was best to take the long break. In doing so, I have found so many things I love to talk about. I was holding myself back because I put a label on myself, wanting to be known as a beauty blogger. Sure I attached the lifestyle part, but honestly I don’t really know what that means.  During this year I had time to reflect on where I wanted my blog to go and whether I even wanted to write anymore. Honestly the motivation to blog was not there at all and at that time, I really didn’t care if I continued. I did not want to look at my blog or deal with it. For me I was tired of putting in the work and not getting anything in return. Meaning no ...
