Blog Goals For August

Like me you have probably read loads of August goals posts but here's another to add to your list! I was inspired so I sat down and had a think about what I really wanted to achieve this month and here it is!

Getting a New Website!

That's right! As great as blogger is, me and my blog have out grown it. This also another opportunity to work with the awesome Cameron Stroud. So what do I have to do to achieve this?

• Buy a domain
• Find a host
• Create perfection
• Put together a big giveaway for the launch!!!

Get to 500 Followers on Instagram!

I currently have 340 followers so it isn't the biggest challenge but in order to get there, I have to put the work in. 

• Find a theme- everyone bangs on about having a theme but my blog is quite eclectic so I'm not sure how to achieve that
• Use the same background in all of my pictures- I currently have a load of vintage furniture in my house and it makes for a great background for my blog photos.

My Facebook Needs Help!

My Facebook seems to be the least interacted social media that I have. It currently only has only 57 likes, most of which are friends and family. This month I would love to surpass 150 likes. It doesn't sound like much but it is the first step. In order to get people to discover my Facebook, I am going to hold a back to school giveaway where in order to enter you must like my page and share the post. Hopefully, that will bring more people to my page and subsequently my blog!

I can't wait to see how I smash these goals! What are your goals for August? Comment them below and we will achieve them together!

The Story Behind The Business: Kristal Cave

Introducing Shannon the master mind behind online store Kristal Cave.

Shannon grew up surrounded by people who had a strong belief in the abilities of crystals. This is opened the door to her love for the spiritual. Because of this, she made the decision to attend spiritual classes where she learnt more about the healing abilities and properties of crystals.

Crystals are believed to help with the curing of ailments and protect against disease. Many people believe that crystals are conduits for healing by allowing positive energy to flow through the body eliminating the harmful energy.

After buying several crystals for personal use, Shannon decided to start selling them herself. Pretty soon she started incorporating them into jewellery designs. The aim of the store is to be able to open the door of crystal healing to everyone by making them affordable.

The next step in her business dream is to be able to stock handmade tarot cards, notebooks and larger crystals for your home. Again all of this will be sold at a reasonable price!

So what is the dream? Shannon would love for the business to grow and prosper but eventually, she would love to open a physical store where people can visit and get advice on crystals.

You can buy Shannons crystals on Depop and Etsy and connect with Shannon on Facebook, Instagram and by email.

The Next Step in my Blogging Dreams

Hello there!!!

So exciting things are occurring. First of all I have created a Facebook page that will work to support my blog and will also be a place where by I will post all of my writing projects including garage door blogs and any other opportunities that come my way.

Secondly I have made a bit of an investment. I have bought myself a second hand DSLR camera. Photography is already a hobby of mine. I take my Instax mini 8 with me where ever I go!!!
I'm hoping this will improve my photography skills and help me to produce better quality pictures to share with you!!!

I am also beginning the process of branding my blog. This includes the creation of a logo and hopefully a complete redesign. I'm very fortunate to know an amazing person who happens to be a very close friend, who is helping me with all of this. Hopefully I can twist his arm and get him to help me use my camera!!!

These last few weeks have been hard. A lot of things have happened that have knocked me down and I have struggled to get back up. I have been having panic attacks and just generally not feeling myself. This time has also given me a chance to reevaluate my life and what I really want to achieve. I want to do something that makes me happy and something I really enjoy. Because of this I have been putting myself out there. I have advertised my want for writing experience and opportunities on Gumtree and have been applying for I don't know how many free lance and part time blogging and content writing opportunities. I've even been going for jobs outside of Gloucestershire.

So now for a little bit of a plea!!!
Do you run a small business or charity? Do you need someone to write your blog for you or would you like to be featured on my blog? Or maybe you know someone else who would be interested in what I am offering? I would love to come and visit you and find out more. See you hard at work making your dreams come true.
If this is something that appeals to you please email me or message me via my Facebook page. All I ask is that if you are out of the Gloucestershire area you can contribute to my travel costs and maybe throw in an iced coffee!!!

This is my dream and I am working so so hard to make it come true.

Tides

Hey guys!!!

Tides

So from this blog's title it wouldn't surprise me if some of you thought I was going to rant about the sea or something but that is not the case. This is less of a rant but more of a plea. As some of you know I am pretty big fan of the band Tides. They are currently trying to raise funds to be able to tour the country and release a load of new music. To do this they have decided to offer their fans some fantastic opportunities to get involved. They have done this buy signing up to a website called Fan Republic. On this website you have the chance to purchase loads of great merchandise and exclusives. I have done my bit by buying a merchandise bundle for only £15. Prices start at only £1 and go up to £350 for a private gig (if only I could afford that one!!!). They need to raise £1500 and if they don't reach that target by the 2nd of march all monies will be refunded. Please help them out I know it would mean the world to many people around the country!!!
