2018

Hi and Happy New Year!

This post is solely for my own pleasure, a way to document all that I have accomplished in 2018. I told myself last January that 2018 was going to be my year, and it really was, so below I’m highlighting some of my most wonderful moments in the past 12 months.

---

The blog was born.

Started blogging, becoming more active on Instagram, and partnering with brands which led me to create so many amazing relationships, both near and far, and I am so grateful for every bit of it!

---

Quit my job to be full time business owner with Alec.

I get SO many questions about what I do for a living. Alec and I work together running our own Digital Marketing Agency, Creators Collective. I never would have thought this is where I would be on my career path but I am so SO happy to do what I love everyday and have a flexible work schedule.

First time to Europe.

FINALLY. I went to Europe. Read more on that here!

Traveled to my 2 favorite cities – ATX and Palm Springs, CA

I can’t get enough of both of these places. Read more on my trip to Austin and Palm Springs here and here!

Attended my first blogging event – Blogger Bash in Detroit.

Blogger Bash was a great experience and it was so fun meeting other people doing similar (yet much different) things.

---

Hosted Events with Athleta and Orangetheory.

So exciting to meet and work with different brands/companies my first year as a “blogger”. I feel especially grateful for Athleta GR and OT Knapp’s Crossing for inviting me to host events! Also THANK YOU to everyone who came! Your support means the world to me.

Moved in with Alec.

Best. Roomie. Ever.

Ran a Half Marathon.

Not my first rodeo with racing, but I hit my PR and finished 13.1mi in an hour and 42 minutes!

---

Walked in 3 fashion shows.

Shoutout to Denym and Lee & Birch, y’all are the best!

---

Remained incredibly healthy.

I never want to take my health for granted. I am so blessed to have a happy + healthy mind and body!

Thanks to everyone who has stuck by me this past year, looking forward to 2019! Cheers!
