First Birthday!

I am so excited to announce that today is Baubles to Bubbles’ first birthday! I cannot believe it’s already been a year since I started my blog. When I started, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I knew blogging would be something I would love, but starting out was a scary experience. I actually set up my blog in the beginning of November, but didn’t even post anything for two weeks because I was anxiously trying to learn every aspect of blogging. If I had to give any advice to someone starting out, it would be to learn as you go. It’s okay to make mistakes and learn from them. I thought I needed to have everything perfect from the get go, and it was an intimidating and unrealistic way of thinking.

This is going to sound extremely cheesy, but blogging has changed my life. I was pretty lost this time last year after graduating from college. I was having a hard time finding a suitable job, and was still recovering from the terrible experiences I had with a group of mean girls in college. Blogging has made me realize that I’ve finally found something I’m truly passionate about. I feel like I’ve made so many friends over the past year that I sometimes forget we don’t all live in the same city! There are a ton of goals I still want to accomplish, but I’m so happy hitting the one year milestone has allowed me to put a checkmark next to one of those goals.

Red Cloche Nordstrom Hat

I got this cloche hat at Nordstrom the other day. I was looking for more of a fedora-like style, but I loved this color! One of my goals is to find the time to take pictures somewhere other than my driveway, but I have such a hard time for some reason. I had a little bit of free time yesterday, so I went to this gorgeous floral park by my house. Obviously, there aren’t too many florals right now, but there’s this amazing tepee in the center of the park where I took all my pictures!

      Thank you so much Rochelle!! I’m so glad we’ve gotten to become blog buddies over the last few months! I’m loving the champagne idea… that hadn’t even crossed my mind but I will be chilling a bottle the second I get home today!

    Congratulations Olivia! So great to see all the positive changes in your life this past year (mean girls are the worst!!) My friends seem to agree that the first year immediately following college is incredibly trying, for all sorts of reasons, but positives soon start pouring in. I always look forward to the daily glimpse into your innate sense of style, and anticipate more! Hope you have a great weekend. -Sarah

      Thank you Sarah! Mean girls seriously are the WORST. The first year after college had a lot of downs at first, but blogging has provided so many ups! I feel like it’s opened up an entire new world for me! Thanks so much for following my blog, and your nice comments. It truly makes my day! 🙂

    You looks gorgeous! Happy belated b-day B2B! I can’t wait till my blog hits the one year mark. I’d have to agree with you on so many levels it has been truly life changing. There is a lot of work that goes into it however it is so worth it! I finally feel happy doing something for me that I truly enjoy! I think I read that you are doing real estate now, that is so awesome! When did you start? The bf just got his license a few months ago but hasn’t done much with it. I am so happy I clicked that follow button a few weeks back being able to ride along with you on your journey has been nothing but pleasant, its like when good news happens to you, it happens to us too! xo

      Thank you so much! It’s definitely a fun and exciting achievement, so you will be really happy when you reach it! Yes, I work at my dad’s real estate company. I took my classes for it over the summer and then got my license. That’s so exciting your boyfriend is licensed! I’m sure the more he does the more exciting it’ll be! So glad you found my blog and like following along 🙂 That makes my day!
