Twitter Obsession

-
Hey there my gems!
I have a blog update for you all! As you know my blog has it's own Instagram and Twitter, but truthfully I've been way more focused on the Instagram account than the twitter. The reason for this, is that I personally love Instagram in general, my personal account is so fun and I've never had Twitter so it was way more intimidating for me to start.

The first time I experienced Twitter was for a class project this semester. We had to try to get celebrities and their fans to reply to us. As most of you know, fans are viciously protective of their idols. What I also realized pretty quickly is that there was no response to positive tweets or questions, but most replies were to negative comments. I tried asking questions and being supportive to various celebrities and getting involved in feeds but got minimal response. Since the exercise required me to get fans' attention I finally found a post where I could comment something which I thought would get attention without being negative. It was a male singer (no names) who posted an image and Happy Birthday message to his girlfriend, also a singer. The image he used though was of her in a very revealing and sexy outfit. I simply posted "Love the message, so sweet. Just wondering why you chose this picture instead of one with her kids? Or one displaying her hard work?"... Not too bad or negative right? Boy did I get attacked for that one. The second the assignment was over I deleted that account and I was permanently terrified of the negativity that is Twitter.

Fast-forward to today, I've been pushing myself both on my blog, on social media  and personally to achieve higher goals than I had ever planned. This includes finally using the Twitter account I had set up for my blog. I followed a few people, started tweeting and looked for other bloggers to follow. Woah, next thing I know I'm up 140 followers in one day and this side of twitter is supportive, helpful and sweet. Not to mention hilarious.

Now after just a few days of applying myself on Twitter and working hard on my account presence I have almost 200 followers and I'm aiming to hit 500 in early 2019. Yes my goals are sometimes wild, but hey, they just might happen if I work hard enough.

That's my update on my roller coaster relationship with Twitter. I do have to say that it can be exhausting to keep up with social media and be constantly present, but it's a challenge that I'm really rising to right now and I can't wait to see what happens!!

Happy Tweeting!

New Year Update!

 Hi Gems,  Wow it has been a while. The last time I wrote and published on here was in October which honestly feels like a lifetime. As the holidays came and went, we rang in the new year and I find myself thinking a lot about not only lessons learned this year but the direction I want to aim for when going into 2024.  As you may know if you follow my other platforms, I am getting married this year which feels surreal! It's been so far away for so long and here we are counting down less then a year! I also am so proud of Tia things on Instagram , TikTok and Youtube because I really have pushed myself to create more all while having fun! With all of this in mind, here are some of my goals going into 2024: 1. Have a life outside of wedding planning  Wedding planning has genuinely been so fun and even in the stress-inducing times, I would not change anything for the world. I am so proud of how much we have done, saved, planned, etc. as we put together our perfect day....

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We...

Hi gems, after soooo much time away from the blog I am back with a life update! I have now been married for a month and had the most incredible honeymoon! We are just getting back home and resetting into a routine. The switch back to reality isn't an easy one but we are still on cloud nine from the events of the summer so that certainly helps! So with that said I think we are well overdo on a life update! Your girl is welcoming fall after a month in Europe and an incredible summer! Not only did my bestfriends get married in the most magical day, but we got to have a summer filled with so many celebrations. Summer 2024 will go down in the history books for sure as a summer of love. I also had another major life change earlier in the summer, I changed job! After five years at an agency, with the people I loved and who taught me so much. I got an opportunity at a company that is HUGE and rated a top company to work for. The job itself and benefits made it a deal I could not turn down....
