Blogging Lessons Part 1

Before launching Blonde Boss Babe, I had no idea how many technical skills I would need to learn to start and maintain a successful blog. This November will mark one year since I migrated platforms from wordpress.com to wordpress.org, which I recently realized I didn’t even do 100% correctly. LOLZ. How did it take me this long to find out? Well, all of the images from my posts pre-November 2016 disappeared from public view but would show when I was logged in working on the site. Ironically, this little bit of a nightmare has come with a lot of blessing mixed into the mess. Manually re-inserting the images into each post has provided an opportunity for me to look back on how much the blog has progressed, clean up/delete less than ideal content, and reminisce on some favorite projects. Of the 20+ posts affected, here are the few that made the cut (click the image to be taken to the post): 

  

 While I still have so many more things to learn about this crazy complex – yet super fun platform, in a post soon-to-come, I will be sharing with y’all some of the key steps that would have GREATLY simplified this process. So, if you have any blogging questions about launching a site, working with companies, or even designing a logo – feel free to comment them below this post or contact me here. I will try to answer as many as possible in the posts to come on this topic.

Top Gifts for Galentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day aka Galentine’s Day is coming up, meaning that now is the perfect time to figure out what to give your best gal pals (while maybe finding a little something something for yourself along the way).

Oh my gosh, I could, can, and will happily go on and on about how much I love Smith & Cult Nail Polish. It’s durable, beautiful, and makes even the worst skilled nail painter (aka me) look like they just had a fresh manicure.

Top knot and coffee time? Yes, yes please. Make sure your bestie feels as fabulous as she is while drinking her morning coffee in this Gold Lips Mug. Oh, and did I mention it’s only $12? Seriously. It’s only $12 y’all!! 

Even if you have a beau, let’s not forget who Valentine’s Day is really about. It’s us. Go ladies go. Celebrate all the fun with this super sweet Galentine’s Day Pillow from Nordstrom.

And, if going out on Valentine’s Day isn’t the plan for you and your girls, curl up with this fab Faux Fur Throw Blanket to make your Netflix night even cozier.

Kendra Scott is always a good idea. These Elle Drop Earrings  pair well with anything & are perfect for any occasion.


If you haven’t tried Diptyque candles yet, now is definitely the time. This design is limited edition, but it features one of the company’s most popular (and pleasant) scents. Available in two sizes, it’s the perfect selfie or bestie gift.

Last but certainly not least is this Tory Burch Signature Valentine’s Day Set . I’m in love with this scent. It’s classic, elegant, with the right amount of sweetness balanced into the earthy undertones. This set includes a travel roller ball, and the full size spray in addition to the fretwork keepsake box.

Need more ideas? Check out my Ultimate Last Minute Gift Guide for an even wider selection of gifts for you and your bestie!

Top Picks from PetSmart’s December Sale

petsmartsale

It’s officially December! With that said, this the month full of celebrations and we love any chance we have to add in some extra fun and spoil our pup, Toby! This weekend, December 2-4, PetSmart is having an additional 15% off sale sitewide with free shipping (just use the code GIFTING15), so it’s perfect timing to grab some sweet little stocking stuffers for your fur babies. (I’ve been eyeing that fleece-lined travel seat for a few weeks now and can’t wait to take advantage of the promo this weekend to get it!)

The perfect pup gift guide

I keep trying to convince J to let us get another sweet puppy, the more the merrier, right? So, until then, I will not force Toby into the pink sweater (hehe) and will instead live vicariously though all of you who do have girl dogs walking around with fab leashes like these!

Shop This Post:


We will definitely be snagging more of these sweaters this weekend too! As a Yorkie, Toby needs a little
extra warmth in the winter, and he loved snuggling in this fleece one. the perfect pup gift guide the perfect pup gift guide
