So I didn't bake a cake, get a photo shoot with a '1' balloon (because I'm lazy, to be honest), but here I am writing this post. It counts for something I promise.
A year ago I did not sit down in front of my computer to think about all the great opportunities that blogging would bring to me. You know the friendships, the networking, the likes on social media (being honest is good, right?).
Jan 2013-Jan 2014: Who needs a boyfriend when you can play with puppies?: A memoir.
I also started with a weird name, a boyfriend by my side aaaand blonde hair. Ok Rachel. I told everyone (read: my one reader, if any, at the time) that the blog would be far from perfect, but totes me. And that it is.
If you are a new follower (new meaning haven't been following since day one) then here's what you missed. Thanks to the really awesome free app Moxtra I was able to put together a slideshow ON MY PHONE (it was a quick and simple process) and share it with you! It's def something great to use for group projects (maybe I'll recommend it in the future) or even to share #ootds and future blog ideas with blog friends! You can even view the pictures I put together in the video on an online folder here. And listen to how scary my voice sounds when I awkwardly record things.
Top 5 favorite things I did in the past year:
2. Met my first blog friend, Lauren @ Pretty Lights In the Sky
3. I worked for McDonalds on a Segway
4. Found my soul sister (and got to real life meet up with her) Hi Rach!
5. Launched my single girl swag rocket
Top 5 blog posts that you should probably read or else I'll be really upset so do it:
2. The best first date I've ever had (thus creating a KiddyCup)
4. I made a really cool monogram bag (DIY, obv)
Yep. You heard me. Giveaway tomorrow. Be here or be square.
Happy birthday to my love child, Sunshine and Sinatra. Thanks for changing my life in the best way possible.
You're the cutest.
Opinions are my own however, I did receive some sort of compensation for this post c/o Moxtra
