My happy place. Where's yours?

Last night I found myself searching through shelves and shelves of books. The dummy ones. At my favorite place ever. THE BOOK STORE. It actually baffles me how they have such silly ones, but hey they are pretty simple and quick enough to read skim. I was one of those people reading them.

When I was about to leave, I went to the fashion section to stage a nice little photo op. I'm not sure if staff saw me reorganizing books, but hey, not sorry about it. I went to pick up my phone and stage some instagram good-ness, but my phone died. So I left, and was basically pissed at my phone for failing me at THE WORST OF TIMES. A for effort, Sunshiney Rach.

I took notes and stress ate candy. Clearly.

Also found a book that I was confused about because I totally didn't give the okay to my publishers to make it go live? And the fact that they changed my name. How rude.

So then I stumbled across this bad boy in the infamous "Professional Blogging for Dummies"....

Must find out what type of hard drugs the 27.0 percent of people didn't get opportunities from their blog. Or maybe it's more like what were they doing wrong? What rock were they hiding under? Clearly Patricks or something because I don't think I'd go anywhere near there so okay, ultimately, you're right it makes sense.

But I'm part of the 73 percent. I've gotten SO many great opportunities from blogging:

1. Did you see yesterdays post? With the help of social media and companies with twitter accounts, I got a decent amount of views! I know it's not about that. Ever. But for this post, it was. My point was to make sure everyone read about it because its an important thing to teach others about. Just one of those thangs.

2. I won a twitter giveaway! Not sure how, but hell no am I complaining! Its a leather watch c/o Arvo! Can't wait to blog about it! Legit I'm a huge watch person, except I'm also that person that only buys 19.99 watches at Targé(t). Fancy shamncy.

3. I am now helping out at Sweet Lemon Magazine. Sweet Lemon is an online magazine directed towards the Gen Y-ers! Make sure to follow at (@SweetLemonMag) on instagram to see what I along with the others from the team post! Even from this, I am so excited to see what else comes my way!

4. Learning how to build my own blog, I can not only help others, but myself. You're thinking DUH RACHEL. No but really, I'm trying to create my own business. Bear with me here............

I couldn't have gotten this far without the opportunity I've gotten from blogging.

So hey you 27%? You're drunk. Leave....Peasants.

I also love saying peasants recently. 

What about you? What opportunities have you gotten from blogging?!
