Hey, everyone! It is once again Friday and I am (once again) wondering how this week flew by so quickly. Things were a little quiet around the blog this week, mainly due to the (extremely exciting) changes. I have wanted a fun, creative header for the longest time. For whatever reason the timing was never right and I kept putting it off. I finally got around to meeting up with a friend of mine to work on what you now see up above.
I can't tell you how ECSTATIC I am about this! It seems like such a small change, but it is quite honestly exactly what I wanted. Simple, to the point, but still fun & encapsulates my taste. She is a god at photoshop!
So while I was making a few color changes to my page, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase my own domain name, as well. This was another upgrade a long time in the making! I am so giddy & finally feel like an 'official' blogger.
Riding off of the back of these visual changes, a lot of personal & blog changes happened throughout 2016 that has brought me to where I am today. I like to think of January as the month of reflection. I spend most of the month looking back on the past year, figuring out what I accomplished, what I still need to accomplish and what steps work best to get things done.
I've been working for the longest time to create a theme for my IG. Every YouTube vlogger (aka, SarahBelle and Caitlin Bea) & blogger says an Insta theme is a must. At first, things were a little shaky, but after a while (& with the help of a few apps) I started figuring it out. I even gained enough confidence to write my own IG photo editing tutorial!
So, as my way to continue to say goodbye to 2k16 & learn from this year, I've decided to do an Instagram roundup of all my favorite pictures!
Enjoy!
These cupcakes were BOMB & super cute!

Shout out to my amazing boyfriend, Mason, for always being down for photo shoots and dealing with my pain in the ass self. :P So many of my pictures would not be possible without him. Such an MVP!
