Turkey & Feta Pita

Happy Friday! Man has this been a long week. I’ve been falling behind on blogging and am totally hoping to catch back up over the weekend. I asked on Twitter yesterday about which recipe you’d like to see on the blog, and the majority voted for my turkey & feta pita! I’m actually really stoked to share this with you all because not only is it delicious, it’s actually very healthy and low-calorie!

The sweetness of the lettuce, smokiness of the turkey, and saltiness of the feta all mesh so well that I could honestly eat this all day. This is going to sound sad, but I live for my lunch break at work just because I get to eat this! I always like to plan ahead so I’ll typically make this the night before I go to work, stick it in the fridge, and grab it and go in the mornings!

Beginner Blogger: Photography

Hello fellow bloggers or soon-to-be bloggers or someone who stumbled upon this post! Welcome to my Beginner Blogger series! The purpose of this series is to provide you with information that I wish I had had when I first started blogging. In this post I’m going to be talking about photography. If you want to see more, be sure to check out the Beginner Blogger page! It outlines all the topics I cover and when to expect to see them on the blog!

Photography is key to blogging. Chances are people aren’t going to read all of the words you write. They’re going to scroll through your post looking at all of the pretty pictures, and if one catches their eye, they may read the paragraphs surrounding it. But don’t freak out about not having the right camera or the right equipment.

A Beginner’s Look at Hand Lettering

I’ve been getting tons of questions about how I started hand lettering and how I hand letter and all the questions that accompany the topic of starting hand lettering. This all came about after I posted about my bullet journal aka my new obsession. My bullet journal is the place for me to practice my hand lettering, and that sparked a lot of interest from my readers!

First off, this is the first time I’ve received enough questions about a topic that I want to write a post on it. Progress, my friends! Let me just say that I am in no way, shape, or form an expert at hand lettering nor have I gone to art school or taken courses in typography. But, I do have a passion for fonts and lettering!

Long Lasting Nails at Home

Nail polish has two moods. It’ll be cooperative and will last for upwards of a week, or it’ll want to ruin your life and chip within a day or two. I always feel like I’m wasting so much of my time painting my nails because I end up having to repaint them every two or three days! I’d had enough of that and sought after a way to make my nail polish last.

Browsing through the Internet and Pinterest one day, I stumbled across this product that everyone RAVES about. It’s an easy and inexpensive way to achieve long lasting nails at home. What is it, you may be asking?

5 Outfits for a Summer Internship

Summer is in full swing, and for those of us lucky enough to snag an internship for the summer, we’re spending our mornings stressing over what to wear. The typical college look of Nike shorts and a t-shirt just won’t cut it. We’re advised to dress smart casual or business casual on a daily basis, and with a small income that can be hard to achieve. Today I’m sharing my 5 outfits for a summer internship!

All of these pieces came straight from my closet. Except for the pants, there was no additional purchasing of clothes! And I’m pretty proud about that! I tried my best to find the links to all off the items or at least find some sort of similar option. Hope you enjoy!

Beginner Blogger: Stats

So stats. They’re what every blogger secretly obsesses over but no one wants to admit. As you’ve probably figured out, stats are a huge part of the blogging world, but they’re not everything! As a beginner it’s hard to not worry about one day with low numbers or why you’re not seeing super fast growth. Well, in this Beginner Blogger post all about blog stats for beginners, I’m going to cover just about everything revolving around stats! Oh, if you want to see more of my Beginner Blogger series, make sure to check out the Beginner Blogger page. It outlines all the topics I cover and when to expect to see them on the blog!

So many of those Pinterest articles tell beginners to not worry about stats. Well when you’re a beginner, stats are all you have! I know for the first six months, I would religiously check my stats 20+ times a day. That is perfectly fine! Enjoy those stats and pay attention to them because they are valuable, but know that just because you’re not hitting the same stats as another blogger doesn’t mean you’re not posting quality content!
