Today is a very good day because it is my blog anniversary!!✨ Today marks three years since I brought my blog back to life. On January 25th, 2021, Sara Elise Blog was born and I can’t believe that it has continued to grow into what it is today both through my home website and on Instagram/TikTok. I am so happy to write this post and talk to you about how my blog has not only grown but has served as a positive outlet for me. As a bit of background, I originally started my blog in early 2020 however I shut it down shortly after because I had some intense health issues that I had to sort out first. I had to dedicate my time and energy into first healing and strengthening my body. So when 2021 rolled around, I was terrified of starting my blog up because I had tried before and “failed”. After a few days of reflecting, I thought to myself that I hadn’t necessarily failed but rather was redirected for that specific time in my life. I decided that since I hadn’t given myself a real go at this new hobby, then it would be short sighted to not even try and see where it led. I also had an amazing support system around me who encouraged me to begin again. My caring family, my loving boyfriend, my supportive best friends, they all had faith in me when candidly, I didn’t have a lot of faith in myself. Though i trusted them all deeply, so I went for it.
Well that was a huge leap of faith and looking back, I am so proud of myself that I took it. Those types of leaps especially the ones where you put yourself out there in a world of uncomfortable, may just be the leap you needed to take to realize how much you are actually capable of. I remember when I hit my first blog anniversary and even last year’s second anniversary, I was genuinely surprised that I hadn’t given up yet because of the work it took to continue a blog. Both backend work and front facing can be draining but when it is a passion or a creative outlet, like it is for me, the work doesn’t bother you because you know that the experience is a rewarding one.
Now let’s be realistic, there are always ups and downs of any given year, but for me I know that 2023 was a very hard year for me to get through. However during the lows, I knew I had not only my blog but my community that I’ve been slowly building up to turn to. Sara Elise Blog has been a small beacon of hope for me during a trying time and I hope you, as my readers, have also found a positive and fun light from my posts. ⭐️
I wanted to pull together a THREE of my best posts from 2023 to look back on in honor of THREE years. These blog posts and pictures above are the highlights of the year: Reflecting on 22, His and Hers Outfit Inspo for Valentines, and SAVE or SPLURGE? While there were other posts published between all of these, these three were my most creative and some of my favourites to write.
I want to express my sincerest gratitude to all of you, my readers and supporters. I am so very thankful for all of you.💗 I have received so much love, encouragement, and genuine interest from this past year. Connecting with each of you on an individual basis is definitely a highlight of my days. Thank you for believing in me and challenging me to keep going even when life got a little tough and busy. In 2024, I hope to bring more fashion, beauty, travel and lifestyle content to y’all in whatever way I can. If there is anything specific that you would like to see this year, send your suggestions my way!
XOXO
