post-vacation thoughts

Today I want to talk about post-vacation slump. It’s funny because, while I’m on vacation, I always journal about what feels like resolutions. New Years resolutions don’t really resonate with me. Instead, I prefer to brainstorm mine during key moments in my life. Maybe it’s because my life is so full of travel that I feel like the trips themselves are like milestones in my life. Remember when I went to Turks and Caicos and came back all inspired and amped up? That’s what I’m talking about.

My most recent trip has essentially confirmed an idea I’ve been fostering for a while: that this blog needs to be more personal, more of my aesthetic, more… well, authentic to me. I like to think that the only reason I have readers is because of my unique story. Plus, those posts are what excite and drive me the most. I am most excited about posts where I can spill my feelings, share personal stories, and ask for advise from you guys. That isn’t to say that you won’t see sponsored content pop up in this space. It’s more that I want to be proud of everything to which I attach my name. Buzzword that it is, ‘authenticity’ is the name of the game and I want this blog to reflect that more and more.

So, really, I just wanted to share my jumbled thoughts with you, almost as a hint of what’s to come. I’m planning more photoshoots (including more photos that I’ve taken myself!), more thoughtful content, and much, much more creativity. It’s a really exciting time and I am truly honored to share it with you.
