celebrating 1500 blog posts

1500 posts. It's hard to believe, but since I started this blog eight years ago, I have written just over 1500 posts. Today, I wanted to pause and really celebrate that milestone. A lot of people in my life have asked me how I continue to come up with post ideas and how I stay motivated. It's pretty simple: the creation of beauty is art. is a passion project. When you are passionate about something, it is much easier to find focus, stay inspired, and keep going. Out of the 1500 posts, some certainly stand out in my mind. Like my interview with American Idol contestant, Scott MacIntyre, 3 Looks 1 Palette featuring Too Faced, interviewing Hanson, an #OOTD featuring Kendall and Kylie clothes, and ranking John Denver Christmas specials. To name just a few!

More than anything, I am proud of the consistency. I've always been someone who stops and starts projects...going where the inspiration takes me. That often means half finished projects that I come back to whenever the mood strikes. This blog is one of the first times that I have truly dedicated myself to something and continued with it. Consistently. To inspire you (whether you run your own blog or have a specific goal in mind), I wanted to share some quotes that have been inspiring me lately. I hope they inspire you, too.

Thank you for reading and being a part of my blogging journey so far. I am always grateful for your support. Here is to 1500 posts...and hopefully another 1500 in the future!
