ATTN Bloggers: Do you ever have a really, really hard time figuring out what to name your posts? Please, tell me where you get your post name inspo because ya girl is struggling.
I’ve felt very inspired lately for a few different reasons:
- I’ve started to connect with other Tucson bloggers, which is seriously so much fun. We shoot together now, talk about how to edit photos, Instagram strategies, brunch… It’s so important to build up a community where you feel supported in what you’re trying to accomplish. I’ve felt pretty alone in Tucson, as there aren’t many of us bloggers here, so this year has definitely been a step up.
- I’ve started to find my signature look again. I think I got wrapped up in the trends lately; from Instagram themes to outfit posts, I’ve let other people take over my style. Recently, I’ve been taking inspiration from them, but figured out my own look and that gives me a lot of hope for the future of this blog.
- I’ve started to get noticed. I’ve got more companies than ever reaching out to me and I finally feel like I’m in a place where I know my worth as a blogger. I finally feel able to actually turn down collaboration requests because they don’t align with my blog goals and that is a powerful feeling. I was to stay true to my roots and I’m starting to take control of my blog again.
Has anyone checked out my Insta lately and noticed a difference? If so, kudos to you – you’re very observant and probably do well in school! I’ve started editing my photos a lot differently. Remember just a few lines ago when I said I was taking control of my blog again? Well, I’m no longer letting trends dictate the theme of my Instagram. I started going back to the colors that I love and not letting those desaturated and monotone accounts get me down. I’m back and, literally, brighter than ever. I’m currently using high-contrast photos to really make my new outfits pop. I really want to know your feedback, so tell me what you think of them!
Now, back to that inspiration I was feeling:
I want to really start lifting up other bloggers because I know how hard it is to start a blog. It’s a ton of work. So, I’m sharing with you a few of the Tucson bloggers I’ve been connecting with lately, so you can feel inspired too! Happy Monday!

I’m so happy for you that you’ve been feeling so inspired lately! I feel like my inspiration is often fleeting, so it’s nice to have those inspired periods. I’ve started to go back to my signature style, as well. It’s a good feeling 🙂
