500

Seattle Great Wheel

Today marks my 500th post. Five hundred. Thinking back to the beginning of this blog (though I began blogging a year earlier than that on LastLash), it's amazing to me how fast time has gone. I'm grateful for this place where I've been able to share so many different things. I know that I could share all the same things on Facebook or another social media venue, but this site is all my own. Just mine. No one has to visit it every day, or has to see me pop up in their news feed... if they want to see it, they can.

I've written my way through so many firsts. So many moments. So many trials. Every post (but one!) has had a photo. Every post has been seen by someone. Every post has a comment, a reaction, an impact (though not all big, by any means).

I've opened my editing screen, typed word after word and hit publish five-hundred times. Through each post, time passes and I share more and more of my life. I want to say thank you to each one of you, whether you've read just a few posts, or every single one (and I know some of you have!). I also want to thank all my past & present sponsors and businesses who have worked with me and supported this journey. I am so grateful to all of you.

I don't know where this blog is going in the future—or even my life for that matter—but for right now, it's right where I want it. I'm having fun, I'm enjoying every moment, and most importantly, I'm happy. Thanks for reading my story.

I am so glad that I get to be here for this milestone! I can honestly say that I don't know what I would do without some AunieSauce in my life. You are a great, great influence. Thank goodness you started what you started, when you started it - 500 posts ago. Because I happen to love it!

I totally need to cut down on my spending, but lately I've had a good reason for it. It's becoming interview season so I had to buy a black suit, some business casual tops, and a few pairs of NICE dress pants! Then of course a couple pairs of shoes to go with those.

I haven't spent much, but definitely more than I usually would in a month. Although the fact that I got an Ann Taylor pant suit for $100 (when they're normally $200+) makes me smile :)

I think that that kind of spending is totally worth it. You're buying quality pieces that will last for YEARS! Good investment :)

Rebecca Kelsey said...

I'm the same way. I used to buy so many beauty products that now I'm set for years without needing to buy anything but mascara. It was a problem!


Kindness is the best accessory,
Rebecca

I still have to use restraint with mascara. My solution is to NOT go down beauty aisles or into Sephora. It's a death trap :)
