YOU DON’T NEED 100K FOLLOWERS ON INSTAGRAM TO MAKE MONEY!

I’m living proof.

Hear me out, it’s taken me THREE years to grow my (small) community. I’ve seen other bloggers speed past me when it comes to followers and sponsorships and brand deals, so I understand that nagging feeling of HOW.

I was sick of wondering HOW other bloggers were making a living using Instagram, so I started investigating. I took online courses & experimented with new apps. And now, I’m here to share with you EVERYTHING I know. Are you ready?

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

| Adulting+ Life+ Lifestyle+ Love+Life

May is mental health awareness month. Depression and anxiety are complex, confusing and different for every individual. None of us are above or below this crippling struggle.

If you have been following along with the blog for awhile, you know that I have always struggled with my mental health. I have fallen into waves of depression and increasingly struggle with anxiety. Those struggles create an entirely new set of emotions that are also hard to carry.

What If I’m Not Made to be a Mother?

| Adulting+ Life+ Lifestyle+ Love+Life

I can’t relate to this. My heart does not long to be a mother. Never once have I thought to myself, “I want to be a mother.” Never. Period. That thought has never crossed my mind. Don’t get me wrong, I have hypothetically said “our kids” in conversations with my husband, but that longing feeling of wanting a child has never been in my heart.

One Room Challenge: Parlor Reveal

| Home

I can’t believe the One Room Challenge reveal day is here. When I signed up as a guest participant, I failed to acknowledge the fact I would be traveling for two of the five weeks I did most most the work and product sourcing up front.

Making the Most of Your Time Each Day

| Adulting+ Business+ Entrepreneurship+ Life+ Lifestyle

I love talking about the topic of time and resources. We have the same amount of time in a day as Beyonce and Warren Buffett. Let that sink in. We also have a lot of excuses as to why we can’t this and can’t that, and the number one excuse is likely, “I don’t have time.”

Guys! It’s not about having more time. It is about prioritizing things in our life to create the space and time. I work full-time, run two business and a blog, and I still find time to work out almost every single day and eat dinner with my husband. I literally want to print out a t-shirt with the word “priorities” written across the chest.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

| Adulting+ Life+ Lifestyle+ Love+Life

I can’t believe mother’s day is almost here. Do you have your mother’s day gifts ideas yet? I haven’t purchased my mom a gift yet, but I’m totally buying her one of the cards below! This year is flying by. My life is so busy and hectic that sometimes I drop the ball on recognizing the special people in my life. One of my intentions for this year was to be better about making an effort to make my loved ones feel loved. I love supporting other small shops and makers and these types of items always make heartfelt gifts. Here are some of my favorite mother’s day gift ideas from Etsy:

One Room Challenge: Dealing with Overwhelm – Week Four

| Home+ Life+ Uncategorized

Well folks, here we are at week four and the room looks EXACTLY the same as it did last week. When my to-list is a mile long, home projects are the first to slide. That said, I found the perfect vintage lamp bases to create our DIY Edison bulb lamps to flank the mirror, and I also picked out prints for my empty picture frames. My sweet friend Colette is launching a print shop over at The Lipstick Lens and I can’t wait for you to see her work! I’m obsessed with the pair of prints we landed on.

One Room Challenge: Persian Rugs are Worth the Splurge – Week Three

| Home

Alright guys, it is week three of the One Room Challenge. If you missed week one or week two you can click to get caught up before diving into week three progress. It was a pretty slow week because I’m swamped at work. The pocketbook is also running quite dry as we approach our destination wedding.

How to Legally Start an Online Business

| Business+ Entrepreneurship

I can’t tell you how many prospective clients come to me that are in the idea phase of starting their business. They think they need to talk to a marketing specialist, but there is so much to do “behind the scenes” before you are ready to market your business. If you are serious and ready to do the damn thing, you need to start with a strong foundation. Here is a quick rundown of everything you need to do to set your business up for success right out of the gate. 

One Room Challenge: Hello, Dusty Pink Paint – Week Two

| Home

Alright folks, we are one week into the One Room Challenge and our painting is almost complete! If you missed the week one post, you can read it here. You can also see what this room looked like a week ago! We are going for a cozy, Parisian parlor with an industrial twist. We went into the week thinking we would do a pink accent wall, and we came out of the week with a completely pink parlor. I wanted this from the beginning, but it took a little convincing for the husband.
