Blogging Goals - July 2016

-
Oh dear, I fell short in June. Well, it's a new month and it's time to redeem myself. How could I have gone from a great May to a mediocre June? Not focusing, that's how.

I have been reading other blogs and am continually inspired by other bloggers that have a ridiculous amount of hits. I still get quite a few hits from my posts about The Bad Girls Club. Perhaps I should focus on the entertainment business but that's not my focus. I'm not into celebrity gossip, I don't watch a lot of television and I really don't give a hoot about the Kardashians. However, I do like that Khloe is now Miss Fit. Good for her! She has a book out but I would most likely never read it. I find Jessica Herrin much more inspiring. She has a new book out called Find Your Extraordinary. She and Blythe Harris founded Stella & Dot, a company you all should know I'm tied to. Perhaps that's a goal of mine for July - to read more.

I used to take a 20-minute break to read everyday. Lately it's been hard to get away at work. I should commit to doing that. I have been holding onto Whisk(e)y Distilled for a long time now. I still have John's copy of The Beer Wench's beer book too. I have a nightstand full of magazines I have received for free that I need to make a dent in.

So it's settled then, July's goal is read 20-minutes a day and a 20-minute free write on this blog on something I read about.



I would also like to get my blog stats up. It was doing well! I will change my featured post on a weekly basis and get more involved with other bloggers. I would like to send a shout-out to Section-36 for the major support! If you love baseball and the Boston Red Sox, check it out. The post on Dirty Water was great! In fact, I'm wearing the blog tank top right now! 

Here's to July!

What are blog goals for July?

****UPDATE****
7/13/16 - A small dent from my nightstand pile: read Glamour's February 2016 issue with Jennifer Lawrence, Women's Health magazine's July 2016 issue with Jenna Dewan-Tatum on the cover. Currently on Glamour's March 2016's issue with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Maui's Wedding issue for 2015 that my friend, Martha, sends me. 

7/29/16 - Many articles read via Twitter.
Plus Women's Health magazine with Cameron Diaz on the cover (April 2016).

    Reading is a great goal! I need to do more of it myself. I also need to get back into blogging more regularly. I too had a big April, but have slacked off since. I think the best thing for me is to just wait for you to make goals, and I'll just do them too. You have such great ones.

    Thanks for the shoutout! You're always amazing about the support. Plus, it's always nice to know when someone is wearing the blog tank top!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a

My Most Engaging Post Yet

Christmas is just days away. A storm in the Bay Area has passed. Two holiday parties were a success. But these past 18 hours have been a whirlwind for sure. Yesterday evening, after dinner, in our home office discussing the home we are in process of purchasing, holding a gray box from The Shane Company , my boyfriend (wearing a black long sleeved shirt and his Adidas pants with white paint stains from painting the condo earlier this year, and I in jeans, my Toby Keith blue tank top from his Las Vegas “ I Love This Bar ” restaurant, my blue SFSU zipper up sweatshirt, and my brown childhood blanket draped over my lap) got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. “Yeah.” I hugged him tight and kissed him repeatedly. He was shaking and said “I can’t believe you said ‘yes.” I couldn’t stop smiling and crying and saying “I love you.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when I called him my fiancé for the first time. Wow, we’re really engaged! Since we were in the process of negotiati

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule
