Good Vibes, only, always: veggie sandwich from Meat & Bread, Zico coconut water punch, & Fonte coffee


First off, sorry it's been awhile! I've been busy going to networking events, re-adjusting to figuring certain career changes, and just.. LIFE!? Sorry if that sounds so basic and cliche but, yea, life totally happens and gets in the way! 

So anyways, here are the pics from some of the fashion and networking events that I've gone to recently. The first few pics are from the Seattle Fashion Designer Expose night and the pics after the inspirational fashion reads pic are from this past weekend's Stylish in Seattle blogger panel and conference. 

In detail, the Seattle Fashion Designer Expose night was to showcase previews of some of the collection pieces that will be shown at Seattle Fashion Week, sort of like a premiere party mixed with a networking night. There were vendor booths throughout the event place and complimentary treats, such as mini bundt cupcakes, Suja bottled juice, coconut water, and more! You could even get your hair blown or curled by one of Seattle's prominent salons at the hair styling booth. If you were hungry, they offered food to be purchased and you could also have your picture taken by one of the many photographers at the event with music bumping in the background! It was a fun night of chatting, socializing, and checking out what's to come in Seattle Fashion Week! 

For the Stylish in Seattle blogger conference, I had a blast getting to meet and converse with such inspiring ladies and fellow bloggers. It was great to hear and receive advice from successful and empowering women who have made it to where they are from all their hard work. There was a lot of support and encouragement from the panelist speakers for us, which I think is awesome and what we truly need. The complimentary sandwiches from Meat & Bread, breakfast pastries and coffee from Fonte Coffee Roasters, cupcakes, vegan coconut cocoa balls from Jujubeet, and Zico coconut water were all fantastic. There were swag bags and magazines given out, and also tons of picture taking for the event! I thoroughly enjoyed this event and I hope to go to more events like this in the future! 

As I continue to explore, consider, and contemplate blogging and whether or not I would like to invest more time into making it a full time career, I think with anything it also takes time overall for growth and development; even if you decide to put all your time and efforts into it suddenly, and at once. As the year continues to rapidly progress, since I'm balancing and juggling multiple things at once, I will gradually develop and invest more time or idealization efforts into this blog and my blogging brand throughout the next couple of years. I am still consistently posting throughout my social media channels, and I will continue to do so for as long as I have the desire to. But I have a lot to figure out, and for me, I started my blogging brand, my blog, and other social media forums as a way to relieve stress and to share my personal, fun experiences or excursions as an escape from the hardships of life. 

I will work and try harder to make something I genuinely enjoy to become my career and to reach other goals and dreams. I know this post might be longer and lengthier than usual, but I really wanted to take the time and convey to you guys, or be honest about my blog and also about where I am currently. I'm gonna take certain jumps and risks, but also I will see where life takes me. But no matter where life does take me, you awesome people and my lovely supporters will be the first to know! I hope you all are enjoying spring so far and also are doing well. Love you guys and I'll keep you guys posted on updates soon! (I'm going to Sakura-con and the Sodo Fashion Show this weekend :D *insert gleeful giggling emoji* !!) 

In the meantime, keep in touch! You know where to find me. <3
