Happy Friday!!! I can't believe it has been a year since I set these goals for myself! So much has happened within a year and I can proudly say I've accomplished the majority of my goals. It was a bit of a struggle but thinking of  results at the end of the year made it so worth it! It feels good knowing I have changed within a year and how much I've grown. Well let's get into the updates. Blogging Goals 1. Attend A Blogging Event- This one was my biggest challenges and I thought I wasn't going to accomplish this one. I searched high and low for an event to attend and finally found one in April. You don't know how happy I was because I was honestly about to give up. Well I attended the first Brown Girl Bloggers Meet Up in Washington DC. The area is pretty close to me so I didn't mind the commute. I'm sad I didn't take any pictures but really enjoyed this event. There were about 20 other bloggers at the event and it was hosted by the fo...

Happy Sunday!! I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. Yesterday I attended a bridal shower for one of my best friends. Can't believe her wedding is next month!! I can't wait to share in her big day!! Well May will officially be a year since I made these goals for myself and I'm so happy with the progress I've made. I honestly doubted myself at first but I'm proud that I stuck to it and pushed myself. Here is the update for April. Blogging Goals 1. Attend A Blogging Event- I had to put this one first because I found an event to attend!!! You don't know how happy I was when I found out about this event. Well I joined the  Brown Girl Bloggers network and just became somewhat obsessed with their site and all the amazing info I was learning. So one day I got an email that they were going to start doing meet ups and the first stop was Washington DC. I am close to that area so I just jumped on it and purchased a ticket. It will be a great way f...

Happy Thursday!!! Things have been a little crazy this week and kinda glad I have a day off tomorrow to relax and get some stuff done. Well I didn't update on my goals last month so I am combining them with this month's progress. I'm almost at the end of this and so amazed at how far I've come. Let's get into how I've been progressing with my goals!! Blogging Goals 1. Set A Blogging Schedule- Before I started my new full time status, I had my set Sunday, Tuesday and Friday schedule. After taking a small break to get adjusted to everything, my new schedule is now Sunday and Thursday . It took a little bit to figure out a schedule that was really going to work and I could stick to. So far, it's been good!! 2.Change Up Current Style- I still want to make changes to the design of this blog and that is in the works. I have added a new fashion series to my blog which I'm really excited about. It gives me an excuse to shop more lol!!  3...

Happy Tuesday!! I've been inside all day doing laundry, cleaning, doing projects with my son and the usual stuff I do lol. I know the other ladies finished this series last month but I joined late and wanted to do a full year also. Let's see how I made out with my goals this month! Blogging Goals 1. Set A Blogging Schedule- Still sticking to my Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. I may think about changing Sunday, not too sure yet. 2. Change Up The Current Style- I finally got over to my cousin's house and we changed the font and the background. I've been trying to figure out how to add the social media buttons on my page. How did some of you add the buttons on? We still have a lot of changes to make but this is a start. 3. Learn More About Blogging- I really didn't get too much into this one but still have my notes and research from last month. I will probably start looking over that soon. 4. Attend A Blogging Event- I still have been unsuccessfu...
