A couple of years ago I was going through a lot. I was grieving the loss of a friend and was hit with the reality that I would not be able to move like I wanted. I stopped thinking about goals around that time because it was too hard to think about them until the beginning of this year. I made a New Year’s resolution and a summer goals blog post which is a huge deal. So I want to see how many of them I achieved. So here are my Goals I Have Accomplished This Year: Blogmas 2023 Day 12

Goals I Have Accomplished This Year: Blogmas 2023 Day 12

Get More PR & Collabs

I’m so impressed with the amount of collaboration that I’ve been able to get this year. I really can’t believe that I even get collabs and I’m so proud of myself. I’ve collaborated with JVN Hair, Lather Skincare, Micas, Armani Beauty, Higher Education Skincare, First Leaf and many more. However I think the collaboration that helps me the most is the one I have with Boohoo. I’m a TikTok Boohoo Ambassador and I get clothes from them on a monthly basis and that was a lifesaver. They recently paused their program but I’m so thankful.

One of the goals with the collaboration was to start getting paid opportunities as well. I can say that I have gotten a few so far and I can’t wait to see what other deals I can get

Release My Ebook

I have started so many books but have never finished them. I wrote my ebook to help other micro and nano influencers get started on getting collabs. I wrote it in two days but I took so long to put it out there. It might have been because of my imposter syndrome and I had to get over it and just release it. It feels really good now that it’s done. Now I can start another one since I know what the process is like.

Be Okay With Living At Home

This one is a huge one. I have left the house multiple times and I never thought the pandemic would bring me back. It was so hard to accept that I was back home but with the pandemic, dealing with my friend passing and the increase to the housing market I had to stay. I thought that I would hate it but it really was the best option to stay.

For a long time my mom wasn’t the most supportive but lately she has been and I think that is why I’ve been able to achieve more. I’m not hiding anything any more so I’m more comfortable with filming in the house.

I also started making my room more livable. At first all my clothes were in bins because I thought I was leaving and didn’t see the point of me hanging it up. Now all my clothes are hanging, I had my dad build me a vanity, got a rug, and decorated the walls.

Get More Opportunities With My Job

So even though I’m a blogger I still have a job, however it is inconsistent especially over the summer. I wanted to get more hours but I didn’t expect to get a new opportunity at the job. I’m an online reading tutor and sometimes I have huge gaps in my schedule . My job was looking for tutors/mentors to conduct the mock interviews and I got it. This is helping out so much and it’s so flexible. I get to pick up hours whenever I want and it’s definitely going to help when summer is slow again.

Be Physically Active

I’ve been going on morning walks and doing yoga before I go to work and it’s been so good for me mentally. I haven’t been doing it recently because of the 12 days of blogmas but I can’t wait to get back on track. One of my summer goals was to go on walks with Hot Girl Walks Fort Myers and I try to go wherever they do it. I help organize a fitness festival called Fitmix fest so I think I definitely achieved this goal.

Make Creative Friendships

Ever since I started the blog I have been doing this alone and it can be hard especially when you don’t have creative friends that understand the struggle. This year I have connected with so many creative people and it feels so good. I’ve done photoshoots, organized events, and even vented to the creative people I’ve met. Now I’ve made a small community of friends and I’m trying to plan a vision board brunch for them to come to. It’s going to be fun.
