February is here! I’m excited to share how I did on my January goals + show my goals for February. This was a good month where I felt like I made a lot of progress. However, I had a lot of anxiety that ended up changing my perspective on things.
I’m trying to figure out what my rhythm is for creating videos + blogging. I’m surprised at how much faster creating vlogs has become! At the same time though, blogging progress seems very slow. I’ve been at the same amount of pageviews for a long time now and sponsored content hasn’t happened in a bit. I’m really trying to push myself and learn more; I hope I can share some progress I’m making on that in the coming months!

I ended up doing 9/20 hours on this one. I started really strong, became really anxious and depressed in the middle of the month, and now I have tons of piles in my family room to take to the thrift store. However, progress is progress and I’ll celebrate that all day. Take 1 trip to the thrift store with things I am getting rid of
Did it! However, I let it sit in my house for too long and I’m realizing that almost drove me bonkers
