Weekending and Making The Switch

Happy Friday, all! Anyone else feel like this week just flew on by? While that may be, I am embracing Friday with open arms as I am ready and excited for the long weekend. Hello to the (unofficial) start of summer! 

As much of an oxymoron it may be, I hope to have a productive, yet super relaxing weekend. One productive thing I hope to achieve this long weekend besides picking up some new digs at the MDW sales, is making the switch from Blogger to Wordpress.org. I've been thinking about making this switch for a long while now, and spent the better part of the week doing my research, reading super helpful blog posts, and many tutorials about the process. I am still going back and forth a little bit, but I think the greater part of me is saying "JUST DO IT ALREADY!" So I think I will in the next few days. Color me excited and nervous. As always, I appreciate any tips/advice you may have!

That said, I wish you all a wonderful and fun long weekend, and don't forget what it's for! I think this sums up Memorial Day Weekend quite nicely. 

Three Hundred

I've never really "celebrated" any blog milestones or birthdays, but when I saw that I was coming up on my 300th post, I figured "why not?" Any reason for a celebration is reason enough I say!

Honestly, I can't believe that this is my 300th post. There were times when feeling uninspired in life lead to breaks that sometimes felt like they would end up being permanent. But they never did. Why? Because I truly do love blogging. I am grateful for the way this blog has helped me to grow and explore life, the different opportunities it has presented me, and best of all, the many people I have met along the way, (some of which have become friends "in real life") whether it's in a comment or tweet, or what have you. You all are definitely my favorite thing about this blog.

With that said, lets get on to the celebration portion of the post shall we?

As a little thank you prize, one of you will win one of my newest pieces for spring, the textured small link bracelet in your choice of silver or gold. The giveaway will run from 5/17 to 5/23,  and the winner will be announced on Friday the 24th. Just in time for the holiday weekend!

Transitions and Changes

Ever since coming across this quote, it has been my mantra of the week. I never realized how much of a transitional month September is, especially as a recent graduate. It has been weird with some of my friends going back to school, studying abroad, and I'm not. I guess you can say it has finally set in: I am a college graduate. I surely do not miss college and its many syllabi, overpriced textbooks and overbearing professors. Yet, it doesn't change the fact what was a routine for so many years, is no more.  There is one thing I can be sure of, onwards and upwards. Amiright?

Speaking of changes, I've made a few little ones around the blog. I've done away with the Disqus commenting system, and gone back to Blogger's. Also, the blogs gotten a makeover! (Huge thank you to Blair!) What I love most about the new layout is the "share" features at the end of each post. Don't be afraid to pin it, tweet it, or share it on Facebook!!

I have a few super fun things planned in the next coming weeks. Giveaways are always fun right?
