New Beginnings

A little over three years is when Studs and Sapphires became a space where I expressed myself and began creating personal style content. It wasn't until recently in 2015 that my blog quickly grew into a full-time passion and into something I am truly proud of. The name "Studs and Sapphires" came from my love for jewelry but it was to also combine a love for taking a risk while believing in my dreams. I can not thank you all enough for reading this and inspiring me on the daily because each and every one of you are the reason behind me chasing my dreams and giving me the courage to continue creating content.

Lately, I have been brainstorming what Studs & Sapphires will expand into next. It's safe to say that there will be some major changes and additions coming soon and I hope you stick around to explore more of my world past fashion.

Beyond blogging, some of my other resolutions include spending more time with family and friends. I have always been a work-a-holic with taking on too many projects at a time (they always get finished) yet I always have to sacrifice precious sleep or personal time to accommodate everything.

Here's what I plan to focus on this year.

1. Enjoying every day to its fullest. I'm going to aim to disconnect more often from social media to enjoy each moment with family and friends. With the Internet so accessible, it's easy to forget to be present in the moment.

2. Planning ahead. I have to admit I am a bit of a procrastinator when I know I can get away with it. I want to start a weekly routine where I can avoid stress and have my content ready ahead of time. With planning ahead, I hope to be more focused each day of the week on different parts of my business, such as creating one day and executing the other.

3. Health and fitness. When there's a lot of work to get done, it's easy to forget and not maintain workout schedule. I enjoy working out and want to use that one hour of fitness more often as my escape from reality. It allows me to focus and to use that personal time for myself. 

With these main goals and resolutions, I look forward to 2016 and I am really excited!

What are your goals and resolutions?

Xo,
Lillian
