I will admit that June was an eye-opening month for me. I didn’t achieve all of my goals that I set forth, but I made progress in other ways. Every week there are about ten blogs that I read religiously. The blogs are not only about lifestyle, but about fashion, natural hair, entrepreneurship, DIY, and travel. I studied their photos, their content, their engagement, their periscope and youtube channels, their instastories and snapchats. I took copious notes and I made a few more decisions, which I will divulge at a later date. :o) In order for my blog to grow, I need to constantly educate myself, study and evolve.
