yep. that's me. laughing. with a glass of wine in hand. shock, shock.
i like to laugh. and drink wine. a lot.
anyhow...
happy monday, my loves!!!
did you get to enjoy your weekend?
it was pretty low key around here, but you won't find me complaining :)
two of our best friends just returned from a 3 week european adventure...
where they got engaged!!!
so, it was so nice to be able to catch up with them and give lots of congrats in person :)
other than that, just some juicing, some yoga, some laundry & some projects!
okay, so what i really want to chat about today is what is in store for this little blog o' mine.
here is the deal...
i like to think really big and so i therefore often end up over-promising & under-delivering
because - well, let's face it - life gets in the way. the reality is that blogging is not my job, it is my hobby
{though i would LOVE to do it full time!}
which means i don't have all the time in the world to do the big things that i wish i could...
but i do dedicate a certain portion of my time to blogging,
and so i am just going to use that to the fullest potential and take baby steps...
because that is how we grow, right?
it is truly incredible to look back at my amateur blogging days and then see how far i have come...
but i can't help but see how much further i could go.
so, i am dedicating 2013 to closing that gap at least part way.
what is it that i want, you ask?
well, i am so glad that you want to know ;)
here is what you can look forward to in the year ahead...
{and just like my non-blogging goals, this is a practice & a training time...so please bear with me}
1. original content - i have been working on this one for a while,
but still some opportunity to improve on the actual content
2. more focused content - there are a few areas that i am most inspired by/drawn to that i want to keep my content focused to - color*, parties, DIY {creating}
*you may or may not have noticed that there haven't been many color posts lately - that would be due to the fact that i have been on a color detox since the start of fall! don't worry, i will like color again soon enough ;)
3. quality over quantity - 5 days a week of blogging is just too much sometimes - i hate the times that i have put out a post just because i felt like i should. i would much prefer to put 100+% into 3 days of posts vs. only 50% into 5 days of posts.
if i am inspired enough to fill 5 days of content a week, awesome!
but {more likely} if not, then posts will range more around 3 - maybe 4 a week
one small note - you might also see a sponsored/advertorial post every so often.
for the longest time, i strayed away from these - i would get offers, but it would be for products or brands that i just couldn't get behind. i could never be a blogger who would sell her soul just for some extra pocket change. BUT, i recently have been approached by some pretty rad {yep, i just said rad...so cal girl at heart, what can i say?!} companies/brands made me rethink the sponsored posts. so please note that anytime i feature a sponsored post, it is because it is something that i think is awesome & really, really want to share with you :)
okay, i could go on & on & on...
but i must remind myself that this is a blog, not a novel ;)
i will end on this...
i have loved every moment of this journey so far,
and i look forward to every moment ahead...
and it is because of YOU, my readers,
that i continue to move forward.
i am ever, ever thankful for your love & support
& am so excited to continue the happy journey with every single one of you :)
have a lovely day
XO
brynn
