What am I currently working on?
~ I mentioned at the beginning of 2014, that I really wanted to get back to my roots of why I started this blog. As much as I love sharing my weekend shenanigans and yummy recipes, I wanted to incorporate more fashion posts and beauty reviews. I feel that I've definitely incorporated more fashion and beauty into this little blog of mine, but I could definitely amp up my game. I'd like to spend more time piecing outfits together for future posts and learn how to nail down that pesky lighting thing so they will photograph better. Baby steps...
I also plan on showcasing some great festive recipes and holiday decor in the coming weeks as we get closer to my favorite time of the year. I love to go all out and deck the heck out those halls!
How does my work differ from others in it's genre?
~ I feel that a lot of bloggers fall into the same genre that I've found myself in. We don't fit into one specific label, but instead enjoy writing about all the things we enjoy about life... fashion, travel, home decor, recipes, beauty reviews, and good ol' fashioned weekend recaps. Who doesn't love a fun weekend recap? I started this blog with the intention of it being a full on fashion and beauty blog without realizing how much work and money it would take to stay true to that. I would love to showcase fabulous new outfits and Sephora hauls every week, but it's just not realistic on my budget. I've enjoyed watching my blog evolve more into my niche which is a little bit of everything. One of my biggest hobbies is traveling, and I love that I have an online scrapbook of all my trips over the past few years since blogging. Coming back after a fantastic trip and sharing pictures and reviews of where I stayed and must-dos is simply priceless.
Why do I write/create what I do?
~ I write what I do because it just flows from me and I love sharing advice, tips, recipes, reviews, and fun pictures with you all. This has been such a fantastic creative outlet for me, and I love the friendships that have also come out of my little corner of the internet.
How does my writing/creative process work?
~ I try my best to stay organized and schedule my posts ahead of time. I usually prepare 2-3 posts for the week on Sundays, and if I have time during the week will schedule another 1 or 2 to go live in the mornings. I also keep a planner, and jot down ideas/notes for future posts. I feel like Jerry Seinfeld where he would wake up in the middle of the night and scribble down ideas. Sometimes something will come to me overnight and I'll forget what my great idea was by morning *womp womp*.

ReplyDeletethat ALWAYS happens to me -- i have an idea (usually when i'm driving and can't write anything down) and then when i get to my desk, idea forgotten!! #RAGE!!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and I can't wait to see you put together more fashion posts!! You always have such vibrant outfits!!! You picked some of my favorite ladies - can't wait for their tours!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I love reading your blog everyday and love that you are always writing about something different! Thanks for the tour girl!
ReplyDeleteYay love this post!! Excited to see more style posts :)
ReplyDeleteSundays are my blogging day too! I love your fashion-inspired posts and can't wait to see more but understand it gets expensive. Wish I gave you a better quality photo to use! eeek
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered how people do 5 fashion posts a week... how expensive would that be?!? Love your blog and love that it's a little bit of everything :)
ReplyDeleteI totally relate. I started as a beauty blog only but quickly realized it was more work and more expensive than I realized. I enjoy it more now being able to mix it all up though, and I love reading those too :) Excited to see even more style & beauty posts. I always enjoy your recipes too!
