Summer 2019 Conclusion



Summer 2019 Conclusion



Decided to post a fun picture of my sweet dog nephew Samuel because seeing him the few times I've had this summer Sam brings me absolute joy & he was definitely a highlight of my summer! I don't officially start my social media course till September 11 but everyone else is going back to school so I though now would be a appropriate time to do my summer conclusion post. Usually every summer (at least for the past 2 summers on my blog) I would have normally posted daily of my summer festivities but this summer life truly hit me in ways I never thought it would!

At the beginning of the summer, I was still at the same job I was at for the past 2 years. I always knew it wasn't going to be a forever job so I looked into other career paths & ran into a completely different career path that was completely out of my comfort zone but I wanted to take the risk & leave my job I had basically called a 2nd home to pursue apartment leasing (some social media was involved but it wasn't the type of social media I was wanting).

I was in the job for a month till I realized that I was no way in hell ready for that industry! I wanted it to work out so badly & tried so badly but it truly wasn't what I was wanting at least in this phase of my life. I'm still young & discovering myself career wise. What I want in my career at this moment is passion & I wasn't finding that passion I was wanting where I was at. I took July off to really discover myself & I attended so many interviews. I was also attending 2 concerts & really spending all of my spare time with friends so I was pretty busy.

What I truly realized after that experience was that I need to start following what I'm truly passionate in. I've been so scared for years to tell people what kind of career I actually wanna pursue. Since I was around 16-17 years old, the social media industry always fascinated me. I would look at certain Twitter accounts like the Wendy's account & wonder who was behind that. After I graduated high school, I looked into social media marketing in fashion especially on Instagram. I want to manage my favorite clothing store's social media or even do social media for a radio station. That's truly what I want but I know it's a super hard industry to get into.

I was never a big school person what so ever so I'm starting off with one 6 week online social media course to see if this is truly a passion I want to go down. This summer was a rollercoaster of emotions. This summer I was happy, sad, overwhelmed, lost, lived some of my greatest concert dreams (especially the Shawn Mendes concert), dealt with loss, dealt with heartbreak, & so much more. I'm ready for new beginnings. I'm in a retail job I'm mentally so much happier in & I work with such fun people & product! I'm excited to see what the future holds for me! Summer 2019 was a huge life lesson I needed in order to be stronger & turn into the best version of me. The best is yet to come!

 8 Years of Content Creating. I haven't celebrated a blogging anniversary in a really long time, but I was looking back on when I started this blog and how long it has been, it absolutely blew my mind. I wish I could tell that lonely & confused 19-year-old me that at almost 28 years old, she is living most of the content creating dream she has always wanted.

Making Fall Fashion Cute in a Coastal City

Making Fall Fashion Cute in a Coastal City Hey guys! Today we will be doing a fashion themed post & today's theme is making fall fashion cute but if you live in a southern coastal city where it is still 90 degrees outside. I feel like there is not enough recognition for coastal falls, especially in fashion so today, we are going to get realistic about fall fashion while it is still 90 degrees outside. Neutrals Go with EVERYTHING! No matter if you are doing a tank top and shorts look or even a sweater with jeans (if you risk being sweaty after the fact), neutrals are a GO TO for every season but mostly for fall. Lean towards your black, white, & even like an oatmeal type of neutral colored clothing & focus on those when building your coastal fall wardrobe. Neutral Outfit Inspo from Pinterest Tube Tops with Light Cardigans Whether you are wearing the tube top with shorts or jeans, if you really want to channel that fall look or even if you are going somewhere indoors wher...

How 2025 Became My Best Year Yet & 26 Goals for 2026 Outfit Details: Top: Abercrombie & Fitch Shorts: Nordstrom Hey guys! I know I have been MIA from the blog for a while (most of the year actually) but I went MIA for very good reasons!  2025 has been full of blessings and amazing memories. As we start goal setting for 2026, I want to recap how 2025 became my best year yet and how going into 2026, I am feeling such a fresh mindset and this positive momentum we had in 2025 will in fact continue in 2026. I want to continue to be a positive force within not only myself but also for the people around me as well. 2025 became the year I have been longing for since I stepped into this crazy world of adulthood at 18 years old and that is, working full time in marketing/social media. Within the company I have worked for the past 2 1/2 years, this past June I switched departments from Membership/Recruitment to full on Marketing which if you have been following me for a while has been...
