I am the type of person that wants to experience life to the fullest and colorfully as possible along the way. My bucket list is constantly growing and for that reason, I rarely stick to specific passion projects for long. I’ve danced. I’ve taken up painting. I tried jewelry making too. None of those things held my interest the way that blogging has through the years.
7 years ago I decided to start a blog to share my love for makeup. I expected to discover new makeup products and application techniques. I found a few of those things, but what I learned most was about myself. I finally allowed myself to explore my love for fashion, without holding myself back because of my dress size. Do you know how liberating that was for me? In fact, I can easily say it was life changing because I wore a two piece bathing suit on my blog this year and I felt damn good about it. I know my confidence has grown tremendously and you know who I owe it all to? Y’all! My readers. My squad. All of the people that have supported me along the twist and turns of my blogging journey.
I have to admit, I’ve considered closing the chapter on my blog several times through the years. There are times I feel overwhelmed or uninspired. But then I’ll read a comment about how one of my pictures has motived one of my readers to rock a two-piece swim suit and I remember why I do this. These are comments that remind me to always push myself to move forward. I thank you all for this. You’ve supported me through several transitions in my life, some from when I solely a beauty blogger to my current fashion-focused content. My blog has given me a creative platform that I can’t imagine my life without and I’m grateful for it every day. Even more, I’m thankful to all of you who keep coming back to read more.

I can’t believe it’s been 7 years! Congrats Sahily! Here’s another reader experience to help keep you going: it’s been a year since my brain tumor surgery where I also suffered a stroke. I stopped wearing dresses because I can only wear sneakers now due to my leg brase and life has changed dramatically but in good and better ways due to my optimism in life. But after seeing your live blog on Facebook book on day where you tried on an awesome dress with sneakers I rediscovered my love for dresses! So thank you for that.
