My blog turned THREE today! So, I'm sitting here in my leggings and sweater, listing some blog goals for 2015.
I came up with several. Hope you like them! My wish for you in 2015 is to SPARKLE & SHINE!
I came up with several. Hope you like them! My wish for you in 2015 is to SPARKLE & SHINE!
Sample Sundays - I get lots of deluxe samples whenever I place an order with Sephora, Ulta or Nordstrom. Instead of throwing them away, I've separated them into fragrances, skincare, and makeup. Every Sunday (until I run out of samples) I'll put together QUICK posts and let you know my thoughts.Blog Re-Design - I was suppose to make changes to my blog's overall design last year, but life got really busy. I never rush or do anything haphazardly, so a blog refresh is definitely a priority this year.
Sephora VIB Rouge Events - I ordered so many beauty products last year LOL, I reached VIB ROUGE status at Sephora. One of the perks, is that they invite you to exclusive store events. I'll definitely snap, snap away and showcase them for you. Plus, it's nice to connect & be social.
More (of what YOU love) Sparkle & Shine - Beauty reviews & giveaways, Beauty boards, Fashion editorials & Runway collections (missed doing those), New Orleans food & popular spots, Travel, Home, Sponsored posts and Book reviews.
Relax & De-Stress - These are more personal goals. I hate stress or being stressed out. I try to minimize as much in my life as possible. I plan on watching more of my favorite tv shows and going to the movies. I just started subscribing to some YouTube beauty bloggers (loving & learning from that). Continue watching my diet (sodium/sugar) & exercising. Discovering new things. Blog friendships are more important to me, so overall my blog will be more personal. That's it!

Kim, These are really great blog goals and definitely attainable! I'm already seeing the sample Sunday coming up. I'm excited about your new blog refresh and it's great for you to destress and also spend some me-time with yourself to unwind. I agree with you on the last goal. Blog friendship is really important and I would love to see a more personal element in your posts coz I love knowing more about my blog friends in this way. I hope 2015 shine and sparkle brightly in your way!

Dear Kim, first of all let me tell you I love everything you are wearing and you look great!!! Everything in your posting schedule sounds appealing. Anyways, I come here both for your great posts and because you mean a lot to me. Since I started reading your blog my admiration and affection for you have been growing. Therefore I'm very happy you are focusing on your priorities! The blog layout is already fab, I can't imagine what you will come up with! As far as my goals are concerned, after an hectic year when I did more than my best to see what would happen with the blog, I decided to keep doing my best, but more slowly, and don't let myself be discouraged by the negative vibes simple bloggers like me get from smarter bloggers in Italy. I'm very curious about the events at Sephora ;-) sorry got keeping it long but it was a yearly comment :-) by the way, happy Bloggiversary my fabulous friend!!
