Goals for 2017

Hello 2017 everyone! If you read my last blog post, you know I took a look back at my 2016 goals to see how I well I did. All in all, I don't think I did too bad, but hey there's always room for improvement. Now that we're in the new year, I started thinking of new goals for myself as well as blogging goals. I believe these two things should be separate to help you narrow things down and target them even better. I was even thinking of making a vision board to keep myself on track and remain visually stimulated towards my goals. I would love to hear some of the goals you have for 2017 in a comment down below. Also if you created a inspiring vision board for 2017, tag me, @fashionofphilly on Instagram because I would love to see them!


Personal Goals

1. Start something new.  I actually have two things in mind. I'm not going to discuss either of them right now, but I'll definitely keep you posted.

2. Appreciate the little things. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in what other people have or other material possessions, that it will be good to take a step back and appreciate the little things more often.

3. Travel more. This is something I strive for every year. We already have a few places in mind, so hopefully we'll be able to make it happen.

4. Be more active. Even if it's just a few minutes a day. I have some weights at the house that have been collecting dust. It's time to change that.

5. Organize my room better. From my closet to my office area, I really need to be a little more organized, so be ready for more home decor inspiration and ideas.

Blog Goals

1. Double all social media followers and page views. Last year was great for the blog and this year will be even better because there's no where else to go, but up!

2.  Snapchat everyday. I have the tendency to only snap when something exciting is happening or I'm out at an event, but there's one thing I learned last year, it's that consistency is key! Feel free to follow me on SnapChat @FashionofPhilly!

3. Do a Facebook/Twitter/Instagram Live session. I generally hate talking to the camera, whether it's on a phone, tablet, or an actual camera, but I have to remember I'm not just talking to a camera, but actual people. I think being able to host a live stream is really cool and I'm interested in trying it out as maybe in a Q&A session or something else fun and interactive.

4. Put together an event. I recently became one of the Regional Chair Members for the InfluenceHer Collective for the Philadelphia area, so I'll be organizing some fun events with other bloggers in the area! I'm really looking forward to this!

5. Send out a weekly newsletter. I started doing this a little in 2016, but I would like to be more consistent (Hmm...I think that may be my word of the year). If you would like to sign up to receive the first newsletter of 2017, click here.
