Good morning and welcome to the last Friday of 2016! How crazy is that?! I had such a great time in Maryland spending Christmas with my family, but I am excited to be back in Charleston with my boys! I really cannot believe December has come to an end! Here are some of the fun and exciting things that have been going on in my life this past month:
If you're reading this post I hope you have noticed that things are looking a little different around here. Chasing Cinderella got a little bit of a face lift! A new site design as well as a new logo. I reached the one year mark of blogging this month, so I figured I would give my site a little upgrade! I think it turned out well :)
ONE // New Blog Design & Logo
TWO // Draper James Blog
As y'all know, I had the opportunity to be a part of a fun photoshoot with some local Charleston bloggers where we featured some of the Draper James Holiday Collection (See blog post here). Well some of the pictures from our shoot were featured on the Draper James Blog! I am a huge fan of Reese Witherspoon, so this is very exciting of me haha!
THREE // Petzi Treat Cam
Okay, I think this was my favorite Christmas present I received this year!! It basically allows me to FaceTime my dogs when I'm away, and give them treats!! (Crazy dog mom alert!) I can't wait to set it up and see if it works! If it works I'm legit ordering one for all my dog mom's out there!
FOUR // Bloopers
I created a fun post last week that shows the not so glamorous side of blogging! As bloggers, we try to make everything look as effortless as possible, but behind the camera it is a whole different story. To show y'all that bloggers aren't as "perfect" as they seem, I put together a post that shows some of my best bloopers from 2016. But be warned, some of them are rather frightening haha
FIVE // After Christmas Sales
The only positive thing about Christmas being over is all of the After Christmas Sales!!!! There are seriously some AMAZING sales happening right now, including the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale! Take advantage of all the great deals before it's too late! I mean, how else are you going to spend all of that Christmas money?! ;)
