December 27, 2013

The majority of the women we meet and teach at The Blogcademy are just starting their blogs or businesses and most of them simultaneously hold down a full or part time job. Most of them tell us that their ultimate goal is to quit these jobs so they can focus on working for themselves. While we encourage them to do that when they’re ready, we’re also keen to share with them the huge benefits of working a day job while pursuing their dreams.

DIY and Salvaged Wedding with the Ceremony in a Car Park: Savannah & Eliot

Brad & Jen

December 27, 2013

Savannah & Eliot's super cool, Nashville wedding was held at The Crying Wolf bar. They were married outside in the car park, which ended up being a surprisingly beautiful setting, and the reception was inside. With the venue already being so awesome and decorated in such a quirky way, the couple didn't need to add too much, but they included a few things they love like animal skulls and various pieces distressed wood from the bride's mother's farm. Savannah also designed and made all the stationery, the flowers were bought from a flower market and the cakes were made by friends. The venue did the food and drinks and they had a friend DJ the party.

If your main goal for your wedding is to have a wild party and dance until the sun comes up then I have the most amazing inspiration for you today! Eleonora and Cristóbal had their wedding at the bride's parent's home in Chile. They planned and made everything themselves including all the décor, the stationery and the flowers (which were picked from the roadside!) Both the bride and groom wore outfits from Zara.

Intimate Elopement at The “Kill Bill” Church: Vicki & Lee

Made You Look Studio

December 18, 2013

It's no secret that I am completely obsessed with Made U Look's photography. I know I'm not supposed to have favourites and all, but if I was forced... well, they'd be way up there. They just kill it every time. Which is why, when Vicki and Lee sent me the photos of their elopement at a church in the Californian desert, shot by Made U Look, I didn't hesitate for one second when I replied saying "Yes, yes, yes I want to feature you!"

Don’t Wait to Start on Those New Year’s Resolutions – Take Action Now!

December 17, 2013

I rarely set New Year's resolutions, and if I do they're usually just intentions to do certain things better or more productively. Statistically speaking New Year's resolutions usually fail anyway so why set yourself up for a fall like that?! But I am a bit believer in goal setting. Goals focus the mind and give you something concrete to aim for so you're not just flailing around and making it all up as you go along (well, for some of the time). However instead of waiting until January 1st to start that new project, I'd like to encourage you to start working on it right now. Here's why:
