This year, to say the least has been kind of a difficult year. My rheumatologist told me that I had osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia to go along with the Hashimoto’s disease I already have. Amongst other things, these medical hiccups made blogging a bit more difficult. As the saying goes, “small things to a giant”. Right? Well, I must say that I am proud of myself! I stuck with my guns and continued to build on my blog.
I thought about sharing a behind the scenes post, so any potential bloggers can see the reality of blogging. It truly is work and not leisurely activity. Work that I enjoy! This year, I’ve worked with some amazing companies, shared some real life reviews and met some awesome people while networking. All of these (and more) have helped me experience growth this year. I’m proud of that growth. I worked hard this year and despite everything that seemed to work against me, I feel extremely accomplished.
I am thankful to all of you who take the time to read my posts and peek at my pictures. I appreciate so very much the growing support! Thank you to all of the companies that allowed me to review their products and those that collaborated with me. I hope to continue working relationships and build even more from here!
This post is not about my look but I’m glad to share what I’m wearing and where you can grab the pieces to complete this look. 2017 will bring more looks, ideas, life hacks, some d-i-y projects, reviews, lookbooks and more! The next post will be the last this year so let’s all wave (insert hand waving emoji here) bye to 2016! Hello 2017! Let’s all be great!
