The Resolute Beauty Blogger April 2014

Hi Ladies!  Beauty Bloggers Shalunya from Shalunya and Boyet and El from Glossy Glam Blog teamed up to create The Resolute Beauty Blogger. They wanted to do this to not only stay on track with their Beauty Blog Resolutions for 2014 but also to give other beauty bloggers the chance to join in on the action. 

Here are my goals and updates on each:

Gain a larger following- I am continuing to get more people following me on Twitter, IG, Google +, Facebook, and Bloglovin'. The numbers are increasing by a few more people each week which isn't huge but I am pleased that my numbers are going none the less.

Continue to collaborate with other beauty bloggers- I recently just did a Spring Lip Trends Collaboration with a hand full of my beauty blogger friends. I really enjoy doing collabs as its fun to work with other bloggers and see how each one of us interprets a challenge or project. I plan to try to do another collab in a couple months.

Learn more about the beauty blogger world- Not only have I learned what a box swap is, I actually took part in my first box swap this month. I met a UK beauty blogger named Ruth and we decided to do an international box swap. It was a really fun experience. I am currently working on a video and post all about my experience.

Participate in a No Buy and Tags- I haven't done another no buy since February but I am thinking of doing a no/low buy in May since it is my birthday month and I don't need to be buying myself stuff. I'm sure I will get money and/or gift cards for my birthday so I can wait until then.

Try to do more fashion related posts- I recently created a new fashion series called What's in My Closet where I will create looks for the season with items that are currently in my wardrobe. 

Try to use Instagram and Twitter more often- I use instagram daily and am starting to do twitter chats at least once a week or as often as my schedule lets me. I am also posting my IG posts to twitter and facebook as well now.


Try out more drugstore brand products- I have def picked up some more drugstore products. I have purchased a bunch of Rimmel products which I am loving and just grabbed some Milani blushes. I plan to pick up a few more Milani and Rimmel products.

***Side note: I am continuing to use my notebook for blog schedules and post ideas. I really love keeping track of things this way.

***Also, in May, I am doing my first giveaway. I am really excited for this and can't wait to post about it on my blog.***

My Personal Resolutions:

Be more positive and appreciate what I have- I am on track with this one! Trying to stay more positive with work. The nice weather definitely helps!

Eat healthier- Slowly but surely getting on track. I might have picked up a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream the other night.... but, when I went food shopping, I stayed clear of chips and really sweet things. Instead, I picked up seasoned almonds, popcorn, Greek Yogurt bars, and cheese and crackers for snacking on.

This is where I am with my goals this month! I hope you enjoyed reading.
