July And August 2021 Monthly Update: Time To Play Catch Up!

Hello loves! I can’t lie and say this doesn’t feel a little weird to be back blogging after my long break, because it does, but it’s a good kind of weird. I know going on a month’s break might not seem that long but it’s a long time for someone whose gone on a two-week break at the most prior.

As you can see, things have changed up a little bit. If you’re new here, then you probably have no idea what I’m talking about, but I’ve changed up my blog theme. I think it looks so amazing and I hope you all are loving it as well! Another change that you may already know of if you’re subscribed to my newsletter is that I am changing my posting schedule. Instead of posting three times a week, I will be posting only two times a week…Monday’s and Friday’s. I’m doing this to hopefully lessen the load on myself and also give my readers more time to read the previous blog post before another new one is posted. For right now, this can be considered a trial period just to see how my numbers do with me posting less and more importantly to see if I like the change. Once I officially decide that this new schedule is final, I will be sure to update you guys.

Alright, now it’s time to get into these monthly updates! Because I missed out on July and August, I will be doing both as well as sharing what my goals are for September. August will be done a little bit differently, but first, let’s get to July’s goals and which ones I accomplished!

Make more connections. Though I could always work a lot more on making connections in the community, I’m pretty proud of the connections I’ve made thus far. A lot has been going on and it’s become hard just to keep up with talking to childhood friends daily, but having and keeping connections are important to me. I’m grateful for the people I’ve connected with and I’m excited to make more connections with other content creators such as myself!

Wake up around 6:30-6:40 AM. I can’t lie to you guys, I think I flopped more times than I succeeded when working on this goal, but I did have some successes nonetheless! I don’t think the problem is having to wake up early but really having to go to bed early so that the energy is there to wake up early. I still have some work to do, but I’m proud of my successes thus far!

Next up…August!

As I said earlier, August is different because I didn’t necessarily make any goals besides what I planned to do during my break from blogging. Unfortunately, I have been dealing with a few mental health issues, which has caused this break to not be used the way I originally intended. Regardless, I was still able to get some things done and I’m going to list those accomplishments as part of my August monthly update!

  • Tweaked logo
  • Changed blog theme
  • Figured out new blog posting times
  • Created and released fall freebies
  • Upgraded newsletter design

The only things that I did not get done was do a new photoshoot and bulk create content (which is being worked on as we speak). Despite those things, I still accomplished a lot and all while still making sure to put out new podcast episodes. I’m pretty proud of things I was able to check off my list and I’m excited about all of the new changes!

Now, it’s finally time to see what my goals are for September!

Blog/Business

  • Pitch to at least one(1) brand
  • Do a new photoshoot (maybe two)
  • Reach 800 plays on my podcast

Personal

  • Start meditating
  • Write in journal nightly

I’m so excited for what’s to come and I hope you all are as well! What are your goals for September? I’d love to hear them in the comments below!

Comments

    • I’m all for you sharing them! I love goal posts as well because reading others is like an inspiration boost and sharing my own is kind of like an accountability check lol. Thank you so much for reading and commenting ♥

  1. Great post. I love when other bloggers share what they’re working on, like your goals. It’s one of my favourite things (along with day-in-a-life posts).
    I hope you will also let us know how the change in posting schedule affects your traffic. I’m a bit curious!

    • I love those too! I think for me, though, I like to read blogger’s goal posts but I prefer to watch day in a life videos on Youtube rather than read. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get enough stats for accuracy because, though I’ve had Google Analytics for about a year, I wasn’t getting any stats until I figured out how to fix it a month ago lol. So fingers crossed I can actually notice a proper change or not, but I’ll definitely do an update! Thank you so much for reading and commenting ♥

  2. Posts like this always motivate me so much! I love seeing other strive for what they want, and you are doing amazing! Thank you for sharing these and giving me a little inspiration to start finish September strong.

    • Thank you so much! This comment put a smile on my face and I really appreciate it. I’m so glad to hear that I’ve been able to give you a little inspiration! You’re going to crush September ♥

    • It’s okay girl, we’ll get it together! I’m so glad to hear that my post helped to motivate you! Thank you so much for reading and commenting…see you on Instagram lol ♥
