Cyber Monday Roundup

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with friends, family, and food! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays but most people love the days that follow... Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

This year I actually participated in my first Black Friday because I was working in the morning and decided to walk around after. While it was an interesting experience and all it will never beat Cyber Monday in my mind. I love how I can order what I want from the comfort of my own bed while wearing my PJ's. Plus there are great sales and usually free shipping.

Wishful Wednesday: A Touch of Velvet

For this Wishful Wednesday post I plan on trying something a little different. Instead of the usual format where I list the pictures and do a little explanation I have created a widget so that you can scroll through all the different pieces i'm wishing for.

The 90's are back in full force with everything from scrunchies to chokers and even velvet. While it took me a while to get on board with this last one i'm loving the little touches of it that can easily add something to an outfit. For today's post I picked my favorite simple pieces that will help add that 90's vibe to your outfit without looking like you stepped out of a time machine.

What is your favorite way to add a touch of velvet to your outfit?  

I'd love to know what you think about this format in comparison to past Wishful Wednesday posts. I appreciate your comments!

October Recap and November Blogging Goals

Happy November! Can you believe yet another month has passed by? Once again i'm excited to share with you a recap of my October goals as well as the goals I have set for the month of November. I love being a part of this link up created by Angela and Jazmine because it is the perfect way to hold myself accountable while encouraging other bloggers to reach their goals! Now let's get onto how October went and what I'm hoping to accomplish for the month of November.

October Goals

Instagram: Reach 250 followers

Post to Instagram at least 7 times

Twitter: Reach 300 followers

Facebook: Reach 110 likes

Pinterest: Reach 600 followers

Reach 5,200 pins on Pinterest

Page Views {for the month} 400

Post at least 4 blog posts this month

Create and upload a header {I created the header I want but haven't been able to hook up my computer to my printer/scanner yet to scan it...}

I'd say that October was a pretty successful month! My highs for the month were finally being able to focus on my blog a bit more. While i'm still not able to spend the amount of time that I would like to, with school and cross country I did as well as I could have. Getting 4 posts up for the month was a good starting point so this month i'm hoping to continue or expand on that number. Another high was once again with Pinterest! I'm not sure how but I gained over 500 new followers this month. It was pretty exciting to watch the number grow!

My lows for the month were still the number of page views I received. I realized that I need to stop focusing on this because right now i'm not posting a lot of content which is a major reason why i'm not getting the number of visitors that I would like. In the end I need to realize that this number doesn't matter, I blog because I love it!

November Goals:

Instagram: Reach 250 followers

Comment on 20 Instagram photos

Twitter: Reach 330 followers

Participate in at least 1 Twitter chat

Page Views {for the month}: 250

Post at least 4 times to the blog

For my November goals I focused a bit more on being active in the blogging community. I want to make sure I spend time commenting on others Instagram photos and also participate in a Twitter chat. I would love to create some friendships with other bloggers and figure this is the best way to start that! I also decided to take Pinterest off of my goals because I finally have a handle on that platform and am happy with where I am.

What are your goals for the month? Don't forget to check out the other lovely bloggers in this collab to see what they hope to accomplish for the month of October!
