It’s been a year! I can finally say Happy Blogiversary to Gracefully Sassy. NONE of this would have been possible without you. I am more thankful than I could ever say for each and everyone of your support. Starting my blog was a long time goal/dream of mine. I started this little space of glitter to share my life through fashion with you. I have always felt that if I help just one person, even in some small way, then it was ALL worth it!
To be honest, I am shocked at how many people enjoy this little blog of mine. My grammer is, well… not the top of the English charts. I try to write like I talk so that you really feel like we’re having a verbal conversation. If you have met me then you know, I am a talker! And I am a passionate person so when I am excited about something I am talking ninety miles a minute with my hands flaring and more facial expressions than most people use in a month. I do all this in a matter of minutes, haha! I also learn from you. There are many things I would have not known without ever starting this blog. So again, THANK YOU! Below are three things I have learned in this first year that I feel like were the big lessons learned.
- Be yourself. Find your niche, and stay true to that! It’s easy to want to mimic the other more successful bloggers, but you are the only you there ever was and that is what you need to highlight. This is something that goes for everyone in everyday life, not just blogger world.
- PATIENCE is a VIRTUE. Hahaha, I laugh just typing that. I am a pretty impatient person which is not beneficial in the blogging world. But, I am learning that this is a marathon and not a sprint. And even more so when I get amazing feedback from you when you absolutely love the purchase you received from a look I posted on. Or you felt like you’re not alone in the struggle you face when I get all sorts of personal. YOU make blogging worth it, THANK YOU.
- Budget Better Babe! Story of my life = blowing a budget. I am getting better, so patting myself on the back for that. With that being said, I still have a long way to go. Being a Fashion & Lifestyle Blogger makes it very difficult not to just go buck wild snatching all the latest trends and styling them for your viewing pleasure here on the blog. I get so excited to show you things and then realize… I have a mortgage payment and have to eat sooooo, shoes and that fab suede motorcycle jacket can just stay at the store. Please, Please know that my intentions are good but, I haven’t won the lottery so I’ll be helping you style all your closet pieces to have you being a fashionista through ALL seasons.
And with me still sending you all the love for your support, It would mean so much that you let me know what you would like to see more of AND less of here over this next year. I am allllllll ears so send ’em babe! I promise to giveback to you for your help this coming Holiday season in a wonderful way *hint- giveaways*.
