Hi, there friends!
It’s been a hot second since I have had one of these Instagram roundup/ life update posts on TBL. I have been a little crazy in the life department, and honestly have been feeling less than inspired lately in the blogging department.
Burnout is a real deal yall. I have had so many nights where I told myself I was going to get blog stuff done just to crawl into bed and want nothing else but to indulge in some Netflix binging. Hope yall can relate. Netflix obviously has been winning lately.
I do apologize for the lack of posts on both here, and Instagram! Follow along if you aren’t already here! I have been struggling to find a work/life/blog balance and am still figuring that out!
It’s been almost 10 months since I graduated college, which is seriously crazy to me. I have yet to adjust to the world that is adulting. Like loans, and taxes will be the death of me. Forever missing 4 day weeks, and eating my weight in queso and margaritas. I am so not cut out for this real world stuff.
What’s next for TBL?
So many fun things are in the work- ranging from lifestyle, recipes and of course style posts! I had a reader survey a few posts back and asked yall what kind of content yall liked, and of course what you weren’t a fan of to better plan content for this year! I only wanna produce posts that benefit yall, and I always love hearing from you!
I currently have a blogging schedule of Monday, Wednesday, Friday but have been thinking about nixing the schedule altogether. Craziness, right? Ha, but really. Sometimes with a certain schedule, I feel so inclined to just throw up a post, and not really put my heart and soul into every post- which is obviously what I would love to be doing. I haven’t quite decided yet on that issue, but will keep you guys updated.
Within the next month or so, I am going to be doing a rodeo series! I am going to be sharing all of my favorite ways to wear cowboy boots, and how to wear them without feeling like a phony. I know a bunch of girls who normally don’t wear cowboy boots have such a difficult time styling them, so I think that series will be really helpful! Keep a look out for that!

Your hair is so pretty! I want to get it blonder and I love your color. I’m so nervous to graduate in May, I feel like I’ll never get used to loans and real “adult stuff” either!

It’s good to get an insight from your followers! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next! xo
I can’t wait to see how you style cowboy boots!! I have always wanted some but haven’t found the perfect pair… I think they’d be so cute for summer time!
P.S. A reader survey is such a great idea! I am going to be working on making one of those myself!

OMG I need those velvet booties! and I can totally relate hun! xx
I totally relate to the burnout – I’ve been waking up at 6 AM each morning to work on my business, going to school, and then working on my business until midnight. And the cycle repeats. I’m in desperate need of a Netflix binge!
You are beyond adorable and I can relate to the burn out! I was in the same place towards the end of 2016!
Such cute pieces! I’m really loving that striped top!
I love the black and white striped top! And aren’t reader surveys so helpful for planning your content? Love them!

Finding a balance can be tricky. I have definitely been in a slump and decided to just take some time off. I am glad that I did. Love the Instagram roundup.
You’re the cutest! Loving all those outfits.
Really enjoyed this post and hearing about what all has been going on with you!! 🙂 Taxes will be the death of me too!

I am obsessed with that striped top…I need to add it to my wardrobe!
love that blouse from Shein!
I love these little chats and roundups! The personal side of blogging is my favorite! I totally get you with feeling the burnout, I had so many plans for 2017 and I feel like it’s been a slow start to the year. You’ll kick back into gear soon!

Girl, I feel you on the burnout…it is real! Sometimes I feel like watching T.V. or listening to music helps. I’ll see or hear something, sometimes just a word or object and think “I could write a blog post about blah, blah, blah!” You’ll get back into it in no time girl! Hop you have a fabulous Monday!
