Creating A Dream Blog You Can Monetize

Happy Wednesday friends!

Thank you so much to those of you that I’ve seen sign up for my blogging course waitlist! I really appreciate it!

I’m working on some updates in the course and am so excited to reveal it and open the doors to y’all! This course is a labor of love. When I started my blog almost 5 years ago it was HARD WORK! It was not easy to figure out and there wasn’t a course out there that walked you through how to create a blog and the fundamentals of blogging and how it could benefit you. I spent hours upon hours researching and trying to find the answers I thought why not create a course that could help other women create that dream blog that they could actually monetize? That how Building A Blog You Can Monetize came to be!

I would love to answer any questions you might have about the course and how it could benefit you and your business! Be sure to sign up for the waitlist HERE!

The Benefits of Blogging

Happy Wednesday friends!

Let’s talk blogging and all the benefits that blogging offers!

So many people don’t realize that blogging has tons of benefits when it comes to brand partnerships and your audience.

First off it’s so important to have a website/blog if you are an influencer or even a small business because if you are growing an audience on social media you also need a platform you own: your website. This will help reach more people and house everything for your brand where people can always find it. What if something happens to your social media? Then what? You need something that you actually own and control.

Having a blog will also help if you are an influencer and looking to expand your brand partnership offerings by offering blog posts along with social media posts. This is a great tool to help as brands love having blog posts to corelate with social media posts.

Life Update: Moving, Future Planning, and Goal Setting

Happy Wednesday friends!

This week I wanted to share a life update and talk about a few things here that I’m super excited about!

First off Travis and I are getting ready to move…again! Yes you might recall we made a move last November and not even a year later we are moving again, this time only about 20 minutes away so not a big deal. We received an amazing opportunity we couldn’t pass up and are super excited for a bigger space and new place (hopefully the last new place before a house). I’ll be sharing more décor posts and home things on the blog as this place we will be replacing a lot of furniture and different things that would come with us to a house.

This move is going to allow us to hopefully start preparing for buying a house soon so we are doing everything we can to really prepare and set ourselves up for success when we finally decide to purchase a home. The market is super crazy right now so we are holding off for now.

Finally I’m working on some major goal setting and working on those goals before my 30th birthday at the end of the year. Some of those goals include working on my health, bettering my business, and really preparing to start my 30’s off right.

Hope y’all have an amazing rest of your week and I’ll see you soon!

Michigan Trip

Happy Wednesday friends!

We just got back from Michigan and I wanted to share some of the fun things we did and restaurants we went to!

This is my first trip out of state since the pandemic and I was a little anxious but everything went fine travel wise. This is a trip we usually make twice a year and hadn’t been in almost a year and a half due to everything going on.

This trip was mostly to see family so when we weren’t visiting family and hanging out we did a few fun activities and went to a few yummy restaurants that are definitely worth mentioning!

First off if you are in the Saugatuck, MI area I would definitely check out The Summerhouse Lavender Garden. This is a beautiful photo worthy spot and just super cute and peaceful! Highly recommend! There is also a wild flower field at Pleasant Hill Farm in Fennville not far as well which is super cute and great to take photos!

Next up we tried some new yummy food spots that I would highly recommend! Root Cafe in Fennville was a great spot for a delicious sandwich and fun art from local artists. Also The Farmhouse Deli in Douglas had amazing food, including salads, soup, baked goods, and sandwiches. I would also recommend checking out Isabel’s Market Eatery in Douglas and local to South Haven I would recommend the Taste and Maria’s great restaurants there! Of course a must have in South Haven is also Sherman’s Ice Cream, make sure to hit this spot for dessert a few times while you visit!

Finally make sure to take advantage of the amazing summer weather in Michigan and get outside! We spent so much time outside it was nice and peaceful! Catch all the sunsets and enjoy a walk outside! Enjoy the flowers and all the colors because there is seriously nothing like it!

Social Media Consultant-Breaking It Down

Happy Wednesday friends!

I’ve recently been asked how exactly I help my clients with social media. Well I big part of what I do is help my clients with content creation. This could include photos, videos, reels, and more.

Now yes we all want more followers and engagement but at the end of the day the thing that attracts people and gets the followers and the likes is quality content. Without it you won’t be able to attract your ideal client.

As this has been a hot topic in my inbox I wanted to address that here. I’m a social media consultant and that entails many things and different things for each client. Content of course is a huge part, along with branding and what the client wants their social media and brand to look like, along with many other things.

My Summer Essentials

It’s officially summer, so what better way to kick off my favorite season than to share my summer essentials!

I have so many favorites but to name a few: I absolutely love the Tula sunscreen I use it everyday and love that it is a gel like consistency which looks great with or without makeup! Next up Old Navy sandals the ones pictured are my favorites, I have them in every color and they are a staple for me! The next things hats and dresses from LC Lauren Conrad. Now it’s no secret that LC Lauren Conrad pieces are my absolute favorites but in the summer time I wear tons of dresses and love them paired with a hat and hers are my favorites! Fourth thing has to be Tarte Cosmetics the brand makes up a lot of my makeup bag and their blush and mascara are a must not matter if I’m doing a full face or just a 5 minute face. Finally a swimsuit from Artesands, their pieces are curve friendly and the most support cute suits ever! They are an investment but worth it!

I have some travel scheduled and you better believe all these things are coming with me! What are some of your summer essentials? Let me know!

The Perfect Dress For Any Occasion

Happy Wednesday friends!

I wanted to share a great dress to have in your closet for really an occasion. This piece from LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s is perfect for shopping, brunch, and any kind of event, a birthday lunch, a bridal shower, or anything like that. The fabric and soft print make it perfect for all those things.

It’s super easy to make this more casual with a sandal and straw bag or dress it up with a wedge or a heel with a quilted more lux bag it super versatile!

What is a must have dress for you in your closet?

My Summer Uniform

Happy Wednesday friends!

Y’all know summer is my favorite season! This outfit is my summer uniform; a light weight dress, easy sandals and a hat is literally the perfect look for a Florida summer. Basically all I wear in the summer next to swimwear, shorts and t-shirts.

This whole look is LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s and super affordable. The whole look is under $50 and easy to wear everywhere this summer! I hope y’all love it.

We are working on summer plans and I would love to know what you all are planning for the summer. Are you traveling? Where are you going? Let me know in the comments!

Summer Is Coming!

Happy Wednesday friends!

Is anyone else ready for summer time? It might be silly a Florida girl who loves summer time, because yes it’s hot and also rainy in the afternoons but there has always been something magical about summer time for me! I love the summer trips, the energy of summer, the long days and beach time. It’s when Florida belongs to the locals again and the snow birds have gone home, it’s just the best time!

I’m also excited to have a summer working for myself so I can work from anywhere and really spend some time at the pool and outside! With that being said I’m taking on 2 more client for the month of June to help with social media marketing and management!

Minimalism in the Living Room sponsored by AllModern

Happy Wednesday friends!

Today’s post is sponsored by AllModern. Y’all know I love décor and interior design and I’m excited to be partnering with AllModern on todays blog post!

Minimalism as a style is so nice to showcase in your home with the clean lines and calming colors. We choose to grab a run that compliments the colors we are already using in our living room and are so impressed with the quality and price of the rug! We love the print and it complimented everything perfectly! You can find our rug HERE and also some fun art HERE that we grabbed for the living room! I also included several pieces I loved on my mood board post a few weeks ago!

I tend to refresh pieces and accessories in my home throughout the year and furniture isn’t as often depending and how old it is. Having new fresh pieces in the home though really makes a difference in mood and vibe of the place.

I can’t recommend AllModern enough for all your decorating and furniture needs even down to rugs and accessories they have everything for every style and at an affordable price, which we love!
