Knowledge is Power ||

 via sequins and sarcasm

Hello and Good Morning!! I was able to get quite a bit done yesterday. It was my day to focus on cleaning up my social media accounts and make them more visually appealing to potential clients. Here is what I was able to accomplish:

|| 10 minute photo session for designer to add photos to my new website
|| Emailed a potential client
|| Spent several hours on Pinterest- deleting old pins, re-organizing/re-arranging Pins to be more visually attractive & draw more followers
|| Upgraded to the Business Pinterest & also added Pinterest Widget to my Blog sidebar
|| Took a 30 minute nap to recharge
|| Designed a new header for my Facebook Blog page
|| Signed up for more Entrepreneur Facebook Groups (knowledge is power!)
|| Took Part 1 of a 7 Part Workshop - Get More Dream Clients using Facebook (some great tips!)
|| Put a hold order on Elizabeth Gilbert's new book, Big Magic-Creative Living Beyond Fear- so excited to read!!
|| Installed Latergram on my iPhone to schedule my Instagram Posts
|| Renewed my library books online
|| Made dinner for the hubby & took a 45 minute walk together

Today, I have a full schedule again- I am starting this morning off with some more online courses (Hashtag Traffic Generation, Growing your list of subscribers, Writing great Press Releases). I have a plan to take several courses per day so that I am knowledgeable in more areas and I can reach more potential clients. I also need to follow up with some potentials later and do a load of laundry/dishes. I love having a home office- it's so nice having the freedom to do what I like! I love how peaceful it is here and that helps me be so much more productive in getting things done!

Well, I'm off to work! Hope that you all have a fabulous Wednesday!!

I love weekends//

It's been such a great weekend- I basically ran around catching up on things! Those are the best types of weekends, in my opinion.

I was able to get quite a few things done:

|| iPhone updates
|| Ordered 3-year subscription to Star Magazine + Dwell Magazine
|| Spent Friday night relaxing- watched Insidious 3, Kingsman + had Mexican take out & margaritas

|| Listed more Swap & Shop items

|| Re-opened my Etsy Shop (The Fig & Peach)

|| Wrapped a few Christmas gifts

|| House cleaning- dishes, put away laundry, wiped down kitchen drawers, cleaned fridge, emptied trash, ran a bleach wash to freshen/clean the washing machine

|| Made more peanut butter & chocolate truffles for the hubby
|| Made a fish chowder + Chicken Tortilla Soup 

|| Made a new art calligraphy print for my home office space!

|| Organized my Pinterest Boards (deleted over 2,000 outdated pins)

|| Planted White Mums
|| Picked up Library books on hold at the Library
|| Put another 10 books on hold to read
|| Walked about 5 miles total- both Saturday + Sunday
|| Hubby did lots of prep work/painting on the house

The electricity went out on Saturday night around 9'ish, so the hubby and I decided to call it an early night- so I got some much needed rest which usually never happens! We also made concrete plans to visit Savannah with family to have Thanksgiving this year- so I am so excited to be visiting for the second time this year! Savannah is one of my favorite places besides Charleston, S.C.- my top two picks if we ever move to another town!

Well, I'm off to read some of my book & take a lovely bath to relax. It's been such a lovely weekend- hopefully y'all had a great weekend as well!
