10 Things I'd Tell My Newbie Blogging Self

I can't really remember much of what I thought to myself when I started blogging so for Monday's post, I wrote about what I'd tell my newbie blogging self.

1. Find a new designer and volunteer to be their guinea pig so you don't pull your hair out trying to perfect your own mediocre design.

2. Don't you dare use Google+ as your profile. G+ is the devil's work.

3. put yourself out there. comment on others' posts and you'll make connections a lot faster.

4. Use the Twitter. Tweet your posts and use it to bond with other bloggers. Use the Twitter.

5. Click around on linkups. Make some friends.

6. Don't be afraid to reach out to the "big bloggers." They're usually pretty down-to-earth people. Hey, Taylor and Helene (masterminds behind #Blogtober14)!

7. It's okay to take a break when you're feeling burnt out. Refresh and ease yourself back into it with a cool linkup.

8. Make an attempt to have a uniform width for pictures.

9. Tell your mom about your blog. She'll love it.

10. Have fun -  people will love what you've written and you'll make some awesome friends!

Fall Anti-Bucket List

I'd love to sit here and make a bucket list of all the things I want to do this fall. I won't do that because it's basically setting myself up for disappointment like when I only accomplished 2 items from my Summer bucket list. I will, however, give you a list of all the things I won't do this Fall.

Walk through a haunted house - Nope, not happening. I won't be paying money to give myself anxiety and scaredy-ness.

Carving pumpkins - While I'd like to, ain't nobody got time for that. Also, messy, squishy insides. Blech.

Giving out candy - No, I do not want to listen to kids screaming because they got colored pencils instead of a Snickers. I will hide in my room watching Harry Potter because I'm sure it'll be on abcfamily that night.

Picking apples or pumpkins - Hay fever. Nope.

Baking - I'll let mom do all that. Maybe I'll help :)

What will you (not) be doing this Fall?
