2017 Beauty Blogging Goals

December 25, 2016

Each year that goes by, I’m amazed at how far my blogging has taken me. Of course, I’m a tiny blog in the grand scheme of things but this has exceeded all my expectations when I started taking photos in my dorm room. Now that the year is almost over, I wanted to create some goals for next year and look back on 2016!

I almost achieved all of my goals in 2016 which included: 1000 followers on Instagram, 100K views on Blogpost, 700 followers on Bloglovin. The only one I’m missing on is 1000 followers on Twitter, and I’m about 8 people away!  I know these are mostly followers based so I’d like to make some more broad goals for 2017.


#1- Read Bloglovin at least once a week
This year, I tried very hard to blog twice a week all year round! This means I usually spent all my spare time taking photos, editing photos, testing products and generally focusing on my own blog. I did a lot less reading of other people’s blogs and I feel like the interaction on my blog has greatly decreased. I’d like to spend at least 3 hours a week on Bloglovin reading posts from my favorite bloggers!

Too many unread posts!

#2- Expand my blogging horizons
I’m so grateful that I’ve had the opportunity to work with so many different beauty brands this year and I can’t wait to discover more. However, a girl can only have so much makeup before it starts getting excessive. I’d love to feature more travel posts on the blog and I hope you guys will enjoy them. Also, I’d love to feature more accessories (jewelry, bags, shoes etc.). I’m not super on the fashion trend but I do love nice accessories.

#3- Organize my blog
I need to learn how to make a drop down menu bar! I swear it never works when I read tutorials. One of my goals is to make cute pictures to separate out the different types of posts I have on my blog. This will make it easier for people to read the topics they are interested in.

#4- Promote each post 3 times
This is something I always forget to do! I create a blog post and then I forget to share it on Twitter. I would love ideas though on where else you guys share your blog posts. Is Facebook an effective place to share links?

#5- Reach 3000 followers on Instagram
This was a great year for me on Instagram, I can’t believe I’ve exceeded my goal by over 600 followers. I’ve really started getting in the groove of finding photos to post on Instagram on top of my blog posts. Although I don’t want to focus on numbers, I do want to expand my Instagram following as there are lots of opportunities on that platform. Although trying to gain 120 new followers each month will be a huge challenge but I’ll set this ambitious goal!

Lastly, I’d like to thank all of you who have read my blog, or follow me on any of my social media accounts for all your support! Although I love blogging, it wouldn’t be the same without knowing people read it! I’d also like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas! I hope you had a wonderful day with your loved ones. Hope you guys stick around for an even better 2017!

Here's what I found from Ragtag in Japan!! 🤩🤩
I've definitely had my eye on a Dior piece and it's extra special that this design is a Japan exclusive.
I have to say, second hand designer shopping is a lot harder than I remembered! There are SO many stores now, I probably visited 20+ and the prices are not so cheap anymore 🤧🤧
.
A similar card holder from Dior is probably $600 CAD + tax. I got this one for ~$350 CAD. It's in excellent condition but there was no dust bag nor box.

📍 Ragtag, Shinseibashi, Osaka
We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I'd highly recommend boarding this train if you're transiting between Osaka and Kyoto. ❤️‍🔥🌸
No reservations are required and the fare is just the basic fare (approximately $4!) 🚅
Check online for the most updated timetable but the most current is
9:32, 11:32, 13:32, and 15:32 leaving Osaka for Kyoto!
We showed up 30 minutes before boarding and was the first ones for car 5. Car 3 seems to be the most popular for the cherry blossoms!
Forget your eyeshadow palettes! This little single Forget your eyeshadow palettes! This little single eyeshadow from merit is all I need! 💚
I've been using this a lot on my vacation and it stays on amazingly well all day even with the humidity.
I went for a more unique shade but all the basic browns and neutrals are available too!
.
Would you swap your current eyeshadow for this?
