Since starting my own blog, I have continuously looked for new ways to improve my content, social media outlets, and photography. At times, this has meant taking some time and really looking at other blogs to see what I like, and what I don’t. For example, I very quickly learned that I preferred the look of professional-looking images which were formatted with the same width rather than photos taken on my point + shoot camera without any regularity in formatting. Sometimes, looking to others for inspiration and tips can be really helpful and essential to your blogs growth (which is why I started my blogging tips series!), but when you allow yourself to become fixated on others successes rather than your own that’s when it can be damaging to how you’re viewing yourself and your own work. Today I wanted to share one thing that I think should be on everyone’s New Year’s Resolution list, and that is simply learning how to love being you. Click through to read more on how to be happy being you!

All Dressed Up![[ad] It may not be #SelfCareSunday or #MaskMonday but I'm still taking a little "me" time today to care for my skin.
I've been talking about this a LOT lately on my Youtube Channel, but I don't think I've said it here... My skin has been totally out of whack lately. 🤪 It's dry, it's become much more blemish-prone, and I'm not having any of it. Ain't nobody got time for this! 🤬
I'm tacking blemishes with the @plant.apothecary Not a Spot Acne treatment mask and Organic Oil Moisturizer for Oily and Acne-Prone Skin (which you can pick up online or at @ultabeauty)
Then adding moisture into my skin with the @lancome genifique serum and @Elemis Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment.
Ah, skincare sessions are the best! Hit that LIKE button if you agree - and, if you have any anti-acne skincare or remedies.... SHARE THEM IN THE COMMENTS! Ya girl needs some help! 🙏🏻🥺

Happy Monday gorgeous! I hope you have a great week!
I can't believe 2015 is almost over!! Insanity!! I don't have any personal goals for the new year yet (all those above are good!), but I do have one main life goal, haha. To keep track of my income and spending better for taxes. (darn freelancing! 😉 )

Bree, I couldn't agree with you more… we really have to embrace the good in ourselves, we all have really good points… I'm happy you had a nice Christmas, I hope you enjoy the rest of your holidays xox ♡
Love your positive outlook, and you are right that we need to embrace what makes us different as people and as fashion bloggers, rather than trying to just fit into the same cookie cutter image.
