2016 Is So Out / 2017 Is So In
Woohoo! It’s 2017. Anyone else already getting super posi vibes from 2017? I had a great 2016 — ok let me clarify… there were ups and downs. Like a roller coaster filled with extreme female hormonal emotions. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t an epic year.
2016 was good to me. I got to travel the world, my friends & family are awesome, my boyfriend is literally the greatest, I have a dog for a best friend, I managed to be successfully self employed for the second year and this blog literally skyrocketed. All thanks to YOU! It makes me tear up a little actually. Never in a million years would I have expected to be able to do all of this. It makes me so excited for 2017 and to build this bad ass community even more! So from the bottom of my cold dead heart (jk) … THANK YOU!
So, why not to a little recap of the year!?
First of all… can we talk about the Revenge Bakery shirts!? Like I can’t even explain how excited I was about these and how insane it was to see so many of you guys buying them! They’re still for sale and will be a staple. The most exciting announcement is that I have 3 new shirts (and some other fun things) coming your way in the next few weeks!! They’ll all be limited edition, meaning when they sell out – they’re gone for good!
So, what else happened this year?
Obviously we did a lot of cooking & a lot of eating. You know me, I can’t turn down a piece of pizza. Ever.
I shared a ton of easy recipes & my favorite foods. I definitely plan on doing more of this in 2017. I’m also hoping to do some recipe videos? Yay/nay? Maybe some fun food vlogs or pizza eating challenges? In case you missed it… I started a YouTube channel! Definitely let me know what types of posts you’d want to see on here!
Some of my favorite recipes of the year:
++ No Bake: Red Velvet S’mores Cake ++
++ My Favorite (easy) Gingersnap Recipe ++
++ DIY: 3 Ingredient Marshmallows ++
++ S’mores Mocha Freezy Pops ++
++ Mini Ice Cream Wafflewiches ++
++ Another One Bites the Crust: Pizza Sticks 4Ever ++
++ 3 Ingredient Low Fat Funfetti Coffee Creamer Recipe ++
What kinds of recipes do you want to see in 2017?
I also started blogging more about my life. Everything from healthy tips to my favorite music, party planning, life hacks & anxiety realness. It was definitely a little nerve racking at first. I wasn’t sure how people would respond to “new” content. Oddly enough, it seems like most people relate to “everyday life”.
My goal in 2017 is to post even more lifestyle content. Some ideas: fitness tips & workouts, stress & anxiety management, more music & concert tips, healthy and mental wellness and more randomness from my every day life.
Some of my favorite lifestyle content from this year:
++ Choosing the Career Path of Least Resistance ++
++ RIP Self Shaming, Hello Posi Vibes ++
++ Erin & Doug’s First YouTube Q&A ++
++ DIY: Creepy, Cooky, Mysterious & Spooky Skull Vase ++
++ Music Monday: Girl Power Playlist ++
++ Music is Good for Your Soul: It’s Science ++
++ The Dreaded Declutter – 10 Questions to Help You Get Rid of Cr*p! ++
++ 5 Tips for Surviving a General Admission Concert ++
So much travel! I’m so f’ing grateful for the amount I’ve been able to travel. One of my main goals in starting my own business was to be able to travel the world & visit Tony while he’s gone. Goal: Achieved! I got to see so many fun places & am so so so sooo excited for all of the trips I’m already planning for 2017! Don’t forget to follow my Instagram Story & Snapchat for lots more content!
Some of my favorite trips this year:
++ Cabo ++
++ Europe ++
++ East Coast Tours ++
++ Mexico City ++
Where else should I go this year? I love travel tips!
That barely grazes the surface of my year. I loved sharing all of my favorite shopping finds & fashion tips too! Definitely let me know what types of content you want to see more of in the comments, on my Twitter, Facebook or Instagram!
