UnPolished Turns ONE 🎂 ✨
ALEXA Turn Up “Spice Up Your Life”
Happy Birthday to the BLOG! My baby turned O N E today and I could not be more excited and proud! First of all, thank you to everyone who has showed up here on the BLOG. For every reader, subscriber, follower on my socials and friends who have passed out my business cards. Forever grateful for you all!
From writing on my MACBOOK PRO in the suburbs of The Mile High City to writing on the beach in front of our Beach Club APT in The LBC it’s been one crazy year! As I blow out the c a n d l e on my BLOGs first birthday let’s dish what the first year of launching was actually like 🤨😮💨🥹…
1) WE STARTED W/ NOTHING: I announced the blog launch before I had anything prepped. I had the Logo Design, and platform I knew I wanted to use but never absolutely nothing about web design. My coding skills died off with MySpace unfortunately 😂. My heart was in it but my head was still spinning wheels on if I can figure it out or should I outsource. Needless to say, I figured it out.
2) FRAUD ALERT: I felt like the biggest fraud in the beginning because as I was getting contacted for collabs I kept mentioning I was launching my BLOG Soon but hadn’t ironed out the big details.
3) ARE WE QUITTERS: There were so many times last spring as I was pushing my announcements through socials that I wanted to quit. Trying to nail down Web Design in between a long commutes, a part time career that was announcing it’s doing a restructure, raising a family, while in my managerial era I was starting to think I had put too much on my plate. I’m not a quitter though, my Dad is Mexican what do I look like quitting anything in life?! He raised me better 😂 If I say I’m going to do something I’m going to follow through. No regrets looking back either! Mija, we did it 😝🎂✨
4) STAYING CONSISTENT: Keep It Simple Mija! KISM, I kept everything lowkey for content on every post and made sure to schedule out at least one hour a week for writing. I found a platform that I didn’t need to have a lesson on YT University in order to design my blog. I let myself make mistakes and it took the pressure off all the way which allowed me to stay consistent.
5) MY FAVE BLOG POST: UnPolished Juice was fun to write as it brought up so many stories from my past but probably has the least amount of views but I am still proud of it! Haha
Happy Birthday UnPolished 🎂💚✨
Besos from The LBC, XOXO 💋
Stay Gold ✨
