Making Goals and Hitting Them! - Tips for Navigating the Social Media Waters

I started Jewelry & Jeans almost 9 months ago to the day.  It was a way for me to creatively express my perspective on fashion, beauty and life.  I wasn't sure what I was doing or if it would be well received but that wasn't the point.  Don't get me wrong, I was hoping it would be successful, but that wasn't the motivation behind it.  I wanted to do something fun and it sure has been fun.

In the last 9 months I've learned so much.  I've learned that I often play it too safe with my fashion choices, I've learned that social media is an ever evolving and changing beast, I've learned that there is an amazing community of people out there that are willing to help, assist and encourage you.  Theses are all new and wonderful things. I've also learned that you have to check your ego at the door.  You have to set goals and work hard to achieve them.  And you have to make sure you manage your time wisely.  Hours can be consumed each day if you're not aware and diligent.  Blogging and social media is not the most important thing in the world.  How many likes or followers you've gotten in the last 3 hours is not going to bring you happiness or fulfill you.  Don't miss out on life as your trying to capture the most insta-worthy picture of it.

With all that said, Thank You!  Thank you for following along on this journey with me.  Thank you for your encouragement, support and love.  I hope that I can continue to provide you with content that you want to see and that inspires you.  I know you all inspire me to keep pushing, dig deeper and go big! Here's to the next goal, 10k!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
