Your blog has been one of my favorite discoveries of 2016 - I can't wait to keep reading in 2017. That quote is one of my favorite quotes as well - I try to remind myself of that whenever I get discouraged about my blog or social media!

Thank you so much!!!! I have so much respect for bloggers that share their knowledge and "secrets". I have had zero success with using Pinterest to drive traffic to my blog but I have been doing it all wrong. This post motivated me to work on Pinterest AND refresh some of my older content.

Wow, your photos are beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing them. I love taking photos for my blog but there have been multiple times where I will have a post ready but not have time to take pictures for it. I cannot wait to incorporate some of these (and of course credit your wonderful blog).

This is great! I kind of do something similar and try to "bulk" shoot a bunch of photos. I then edit them all at once and upload them to WordPress and create titles for each of them. That way I have a bunch of posts that are ready to do (other than actually writing them!) For me, the writing is fairly easy - it is having the time to take and edit photos that is so time consuming. I love your idea of creating your own stock photos!

This applies more to Instagram but I have heard myself and other beauty bloggers complaining about Instagram after the new algorithm. "My Instagram picture only got 100 likes" LOL. It sounds so silly when you think about it.

Love this!! I am so bad - I like to do my base first and then my eyeshadow last (which I know you shouldn't). I base the amount of eyeshadow I need on how nice my face looks after my foundation, etc. If my face looks good, I wear more eyeshadow, if my face looks bad I don't wear as much eyeshadow. Does anyone else do that?!

Gosh, how did I not know they had been around for 10 years?!?! I definitely thought they were a "newer" brand!
