I started my blog back in 2013 as a place to write down my thoughts and share advice with other people. I went on a “hiatus” or in other words, wasn’t sure if I was going to continue blogging. I came back in March because I was feeling bored from my life and needed a creative outlet again. Here’s my first outfit post, yikes! haha.
During this time, I was also able to start a travel section and share my passion for travel with all of you. I blogged about my trip to NOLA and hopefully I’ll be able to post more travel guides in 2015!
June/July/August
The summertime is when I started doing outfit posts more often and posting on a consistent basis. I was also doing a lot of product reviews and writing about traveling. I pretty much had nothing to do over the summer but it’s nice to see that I made so much progress with the blog back then! haha.
September/October
Since I was still new to blogging, I had to learn how to manage my time better once school started. At this point, I started to take my blog more seriously and got into the business side of things such as marketing. I also attended Rochester Fashion Week which was a great boost for my blog!
November/December
These past two months were quiet ones on my blog. I did join some networks and started promoting my blog more on sites like Facebook. I was also lucky enough to work for the first time with an amazing company like Marley Lilly. It was a great way to end the year and I’m excited to see what’s in store for me in 2015!
blogging and all the opportunities it’s given me. Blogging has taught me
so many lessons but the most important one is that passion changes
everything. I’ve become so much happier once I started doing what I’m
passionate about and it’s led to improvements in all areas of my
life. Who knew this could all happen in one year? Certainly not me back
last January! I suddenly have so much more faith in new beginnings ♥
Until next time lovelies,
