10 Things To Do Before You Start A Blog

Happy Wednesday friend!

Let’s talk blogging and where to even start when creating a blog. Over the last few weeks I’ve gotten a lot of questions about how to even start blogging and what steps to take once you’ve decided to build a blog.

You’re in luck I’ve been blogging almost five years and when I first started there was nothing out there that gave me the exact steps to take to start building that blog. I went through tons of frustrations and late nights trying to make it all come together for myself. After going though all that I decided to create a checklist for women looking to start a blog that would give them the steps they need to really get started with that! This was a passion project for me as I didn’t have a resource like this so I made one for YOU! This checklist will give you the ten things you need to do before you start a blog and will help set you up for blogging success!

I’m offering this complimentary resource to you in hopes that it will take all the questions out of the process and help guide you on the path of building your blog!

Why To Invest In Your Social Media

Happy Wednesday friends!

I wanted to talk to you today about the importance of keeping up with social media and why whether you have a small business or are an entrepreneur it is important to invest in your social media. That could be through hiring a consultant like myself or getting investing in a course and learning for yourself.

Right now more than ever it is important for businesses and anyone with a service to have an online presence, Facebook, Instagram, a website, a email newsletter all very needed. Each social account brings a different audience to your website and will hopefully in turn bring you business if you show up consistently and strategically enough.

As we head into April I will be opening up 2 spots to work with me on social media and content. Whether you need help sprucing up your Instagram profile or making a monthly newsletter from scratch I can help you!

This week I wanted to share an easy everyday look with you, whether you are working from home or running errands around town this is an easy look from LC Lauren Conrad that I’m loving!

It’s no secret I love LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s and these pieces are no exception. I love a good pair of jeans and a t-shirt and her line kills it every time! The denim is my favorite and runs true to size with so many different washes and styles perfect for every shape and size! I appreciate that the t-shirts are a little longer so you can style those several ways to, whether you prefer a front tuck, un-tucked, or knotted on the side the length of these T’s are perfect. This has been my work from home uniform if I feel like changing it up from sweats and know I’m going somewhere this is it!

Mid Century Modern Bedroom Details with AllModern

Happy Wednesday friends! I have a fun bedroom décor post for y’all today. sponsored by AllModern. We are almost finished getting our new apartment together and putting the finishing touches on our place. That being said we grabbed some mid century modern décor pieces from AllModern to put the finishing touches on our bedroom. We went with the Huron 26” Table Lamp to put on our nightstands and they are the perfect height especially if you have a taller headboard like we do, they really fill in all that space on either side of the bed. We got them in the brushed nickel and they really compliment the gray and white tones in our bedroom. We also added the Amarion Cotton Geometric Throw Pillow to our bed for a little color and subtle pattern and we love how those touches brought the whole room together!

02.01.20- Our First Wedding Anniversary

It’s a special day today! It’s our 1 year wedding anniversary, we made it!

One year ago today was one of the best days of my life, everything I could of ever dreamed of for our day. It was perfect! I’m sharing more photos from our big day below .

As for our first year of marriage, it was pretty amazing. Now of course we had our ups and downs and lots of big changes happened in 2020 especially with everything going on with the pandemic. During our first year married, Travis started a new job, lost that job due to the pandemic and quickly made a career change and got a new job. I quit my 9-5 to pursue my dream and work for myself. We moved from Orlando to Sarasota. Tons of things happened during our first year! Truthfully it was rough but still amazing and perfect to do as a partnership, it all brought us closer together. We are stronger than ever and come out on top!

Mid Century Modern Bedroom Inspo with AllModern

Happy Wednesday Friends!

Happy new year again as well! I don’t know about you but this year I’ve been playing with revamping my space for the new year and new chapter. I’m so excited to share with you some fun mid century modern bedroom inspiration from AllModern as I think we are all still revamping our space especially and making everything fresh again!

My favorite space is definitely the bedroom, I love a light and airy room paired with a little contrast which I think you can see from see of these AllModern pieces I pulled. I added a feminine touch with the blush toned bedding option and some different texture as well. I really love home décor and interior design as you all know and I really love the pieces AllModern has to offer. They have something for everyone no matter what you are looking for or room you are trying to revamp. They are the perfect place to shop and super affordable as well with tons of options.

Concetta Armchair // More Mid-Century Chairs	Arlene Duvet Set // More Duvet Covers	Williams Dresser // More Mid-Century Dressers
Williams Nightstand // More MCM Nightstands	Williams Bed // More Mid-Century Modern Beds	Huron Lamp // More Mid-Century Modern Lamps

I absolutely love these mid century modern pieces for the bedroom and really played with neutral tones and textures with the leather chair and soft blush bedding and I love the contrast of those pieces in the same room. The bedroom is meant to be a relaxing peaceful place and I think this combination paired with some sheer white curtains would be the best bedroom upgrade!

Dressing Up in 2021

Happy Wednesday Friends!

I wanted to talk about dressing up this year as 2020 was kind of a wash when it came to wearing our fancy dresses and those special occasion heels right?

So this year I’m talking advantage of any outing to wear one of my cute outfits or even over dress and where the sparkle and everything and just be a little bit extra to make up for last year and not getting any opportunity to wear all the fun clothes!

That being said I’m sharing below one of my favorite fancy dresses currently from Maggy London, I’m obsessed with this emerald green number that is perfect for a wedding or the holiday season. The midi length keeps it super classy and you can still show off your favorite pair of shoes!

Are you wearing all the fun clothes this year that didn’t get a moment last year?

Shopping Your Closet

Happy Wednesday friends!

Y’all know I love a good t-shirt and I’ve been loving t-shirts from RiffRaff and their unique pieces! I absolutely love this one of The Holiday for the holiday season and all year round! I paired it with this LC Lauren Conrad velvet skirt and Steve Madden heels that were already in my closet.

I’m working on shopping my own closet more this year and focusing more on quality pieces or quantity. Not only saving money but really asking myself how much I love a piece before purchasing it!
