Oh my god, it's been one year since I started my blog, time sure does fly! I cannot express how happy I’ve been since I started blogging. Most of you probably don't know that I was going thru a really hard time in my life when I started my blog. I felt like my world was falling apart, but once I started blogging it brought back some happiness in my life. It’s seriously my little happy place! Although it is a lot of work, I never find blogging stressful, it's something I am really passionate about.
Seeing myself grow this past year has been great, I have learned so much, made mistakes, reached goals and met so many amazing people. The support I have is unreal, I truly appreciate each and every one of you! Without the support I wouldn't be pushing myself harder and harder to create posts. The blogging community is huge and it’s crazy to think that if I hadn't made that leap to start blogging, I would have never met the people I have and the opportunities that have come my way.
I wanted to share a few things that I have learned and tips for anyone who is thinking of starting a blog. I have learned that if you truly want something it can happen. You have to put 110% percent of your time in it and be consistent, being half ass won’t get you anywhere. Don’t ever try to be like anyone else but yourself, everyone is unique in their own way. Creating good content is key, but create content that interests you, not because it’s what others are doing. Just because a company reaches out to you, it doesn't mean you have to collaborate with them. Collaborating with companies reflects you, so make sure to do your research and see if it's a fit. Unfortunately there will be people who are fake, sad to say it but people will use you to gain whatever that is they are looking for whether it's more likes, followers or even stealing your ideas. Always stay true to yourself, do what you feel is right for you and be confident in everything you do.
I highly encourage anyone that wants to start a blog to definitely just go for it. I had a conversation with someone I met who wanted to start blogging. She wanted to have a high number of followers on instagram first but I told her it doesn’t matter about the amount of followers you have on instagram, just start blogging and you will see your followers grow as you put out content people enjoy reading.
I cannot wait to see what 2017 has in stored for me. I am ready for a New Year and I’m beyond excited to share more fashion, beauty, lifestyle and travel posts.
Happy New Year everyone, wishing you all an absolutely amazing year full of happiness!
Thank you always for the support and positivity!!
