The Business of Blogging and Social Media

- Leave a Comment

I want to share something with you all that has been weighing on my heart lately. It’s something I struggle with as a blogger and it's the business of blogging and social media. I absolutely love what I do! I love being able to connect with you and share a bit of myself with you all hoping that I can inspire you to elevate your everyday!! But here’s the thing, I know very well that by sharing my outfits, "lifestyle", sales, travels and more, that it feeds into this feeling of always wanting more. As a society it seems newness is so important. What I mean by that is the idea that our worth to everyone else is somehow linked to always having the latest and greatest. Here’s the thing about things, if you’re always on the hunt for the newest thing you’ll never be happy because as soon as you get it something else will pop up that you now want ... Read more...

Back to Preschool Style with the Gilroy Premium Outlets

As you all know, I love working with the Gilroy Premium Outlets. I have been partnering with them for the past few years and am so happy to be continuing to grow our partnership. Today I'm working with them on something special, Mason's first Back to Preschool style. Mason started preschool last year after he turned two and now we're getting ready for his second year at preschool! I always loved back to school shopping with my mom. I have fond memories of our back to school shopping trips and special outings to get me ready for the ... Read more...

Review: Northstar Lodge by Welk Resort

Thanks to my wholesale travel club we were able to book a last minute family trip to North Lake Tahoe. I got a killer deal on our hotel, Northstar Lodge. I booked a luxury suite for us and saved $135 off the lowest price listed online. It's addicting to search for deals and book trips, even if they're short. We did a three day, two night trip since Tahoe isn't too far from us. When we arrived to Northstar Lodge we were pleasantly surprised when they had upgraded our room to a two bedroom, two bathroom family suite. The room was ... Read more...

Summer Style Target Haul Try-On

You all seem to love when I share my shopping hauls, so today I'm sharing my latest Target haul try-on. I did a video for IG TV which I posted on Wednesday along with the try-on in my stories. But now, I've got the post ready to share even more details about the pieces and which ones I ended up keeping and which ones I decided to go back. First of all, let me just say that I ordered all these pieces with the intention to share them with you but not really to keep them. I like to scout the internet from time to time and what ...

Day to Night Styling a Graphic Tee

I know I just did a day to date night post this week but as of late I've been really focusing on how to rework pieces so that I can get the most wear out of them. I've also done some work to weekend looks and they seem to be well received so I figured why not do another one. This time styling a graphic tee. I know I could probably break these looks into multiple posts but this way you get the side-by-side and can see how you can take what you already have in your closet and make it feel fresh and new. This graphic tee is also part of ... Read more...

Day to Date Night Styling an Under $25 Amazon Dress

So you all know how much I love shopping on Amazon for clothes! I have scored so many amazing pieces for under $30. This dress is a dupe to a Leith dress that is oh so popular from Nordstrom. I have it in the sleeveless and long sleeve version and so I was really curious how this under $25 Amazon dress would compare. I have to say that I am so impressed by the quality. The material is thick enough that it feels like it holds you in a bit. The ruching is very similar to the Leith dress and I love all the color options for it. I ... Read more...
