When You And Your Friend Are On The Same Path, Magic Happens.

My favorite part about blogging is the community--the friendships and connections that I have made. Especially with Loreal, because fun and creating is what we do when we meet up (Plus eat). We tend to meet up weekly and then magic happens.  It's either we meet other creatives, get into other events, or catch up on future collaborations. Throughout the process, I have and is still learning that the best way to grow is to be yourself and be bold. Here are some tips that I'll share on how to connect with other bloggers:

Instagram is my best friend to meet and connect with people.  I love the use of hashtags when I am trying to get a picture noticed. And guess what, this method has been working for me since day one.  Don't just use any hashtags now, they have to be targeted and specific towards your theme or what your trying to promote. You'd be surprised how many new friends you can make from instagram just from using hashtags and saying hi!

Attending Local Events is a must! Okay having a day job and blogging part time is hard as hell. I like to go to everything beneficial to my growth that I am able to attend. If there's a will, there's a way. I refuse to miss these events because I see and understand the bigger picture.  This is how I met Loreal!! It was at an event with Claire Sulmers from FashionBombDaily and we clicked instantly.  

Finally, just put yourself out there and be bold. That's what I am doing. I don't care what anyone thinks becuase I am focused on my dreams/goals. I am not where I want to be yet, but I am close. I am on such a high right now, that I can't contain the excitement. You cannot wait around and expect opportunities to come to you. I look forward to the plenty no's that I receive from companies who I want to collaborate with because I know that there's better opportunities out there for me. So with that said, BE YOU and BE BOLD.
