How I Was Able To Quit My Job

Happy Wednesday friends!

I have something special coming back to Lifestyle with Laramie tomorrow and I wanted to take this time to talk about how I was able to quit my job last year. We are coming up on almost 8 months since I left my 9-5 desk job and it’s still unreal!

I wanted to talk about how I was able to quit my job as it was a off the cuff decision even though I had been thinking about it for a while before. The long and the short of it is I started building a blog that was able to support me through brand partnerships, content creator, and educating others. Without my blog I would have never been able to leave my job. My blogging platform on my website has allowed me to connect with my audience as well as brands.

How To Instantly Save Time On Social Media

Happy Wednesday friends!

I wanted to share a common theme I’ve found while talking to several people lately. When it comes to social media they say they are constantly wasting time. I get it! We are all on social media a lot of the time whether you are checking you Instagram or sharing something on Facebook a lot of us use social media every single day! That being said for those of you that specifically use social media for your business, hobby, or anything of the sort it’s easy to get caught up and not be intentional with your posting and waste time.

Over the last year I’ve come up with my own system that has saved me tons of time when it comes to posting on social media and showing up for my audience and you can do that too! Especially if you are just starting out and can’t outsource your social media yet, these tools with help you save time and show up the best way you can for your people!

Tomorrow 4/8 at 6pm EST I’ll be hosting a Facebook LIVE training for you and sharing how I go about content management and planning for my social accounts and how it’s made a difference for me. Click HERE to join the Facebook group for tomorrow’s training!

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!

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.

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!
