The Resolute Beauty Blogger May 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'. I am currently running my first giveaway and am getting a steady increase in followers as a result. I have also realized that it really isn't about HOW MANY followers that you have, as long as you are happy with the interaction that you get on your posts. Having faithful followers means more to me than the number. This isn't a popularity contest (to me at least). I am doing what I enjoy and am sharing my findings and thoughts with my readers. That in itself makes me happy. I have also gained so many new friends through blogging. I never expected to meet so many great women.

Continue to collaborate with other beauty bloggers- I have one collaboration kind of in the works but that is about it for right now.

Learn more about the beauty blogger world-I actually learned that its best to always site where you take pictures from. Especially if they are of celebrities etc. You don't want companies contacting you to take down your pics. I just updated all of my "Get the Look for Less" posts and cited that I got all the pictures from E! Online just to save my own butt.

Participate in a No Buy and Tags- Trying to do this this month but I already failed. I am doing good make-up wise as I've only purchased a few essentials..but clothing is another story. All these coupons and special deals are killing me!

Try to do more fashion related posts- Currently working on What's in My Closet Spring Edition Part 2 and Summer Edition Part 1.

Try to use Instagram and Twitter more often- Still using Instagram daily and am using Twitter a little bit more. I participated in a Twitter chat last week.


Try out more drugstore brand products- Picked up a bunch of Rimmel products at the end of April as well as some Milani products. Right now, I'm loving both brands.

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

My Personal Resolutions:

Be more positive and appreciate what I have-Doing my best. I have my good days and days were I am a complainer.

Eat healthier- Trying but not hard enough. I better get my shit together because July is going to be here before I know it!

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