I love Gala Darling so so much! She is such an inspiration, and she always is! Her recent post on
How to Live a Beautiful Life, is a kind reminder to get your butt into gear, and stop waiting around and having an amazing life!

I want to try out these DIY wine dyed shorts from

I watched the livestream of the
IFB conference. And it really gave me more insight on how to be a better blogger, and really taking it to the next level. I've learned a lot of things. And here are few of the thoughts, and ideas that really stuck out to me:
- Blogging is about being authentic, and focusing on good content!
- Don't take your readers for granted and always be grateful for them. :)
- Be memorable, and take risks, there are a million blogs out there, and to stick out and be unique, is essential!
- Keep it real, and its okay to say "NO" to brands if they don't fit with your brand.
- Understand what your blog is about, what is it, and what is it not, and have a mission statement.
Honestly, I could keep going, about all the amazing things I learned from the IFB Conference. But I will just keep it simple and leave it at 5 main points that really stood out to me. What do you think are the most important aspects of blogging?
I love supporting entrepreneurs, especially in this terrible economy. And
Daily Candy's Start Small, Go Big contest, is really a great way to support these entrepreneurs, vote for your favorites so they can get mentored by the best in their industry. There's only six days left, so go support them! :) I hope I can apply next year!
I hope everyone is having a great week, despite the weather! :) This week just flew by!
