Hey! As you may know, I started blogging at the very end of 2016. I intend to blog for as long as I can, so I have a few goals for this year. I wanted to make just a super quick list, so keep reading!
1. Make my blog more popular! I get 10 views per post at the most, so I intend to make my blog more popular!
2. Interact and befriend other preppy bloggers! I have not yet really befriended any bloggers, but I have made some small talk on Instagram. I want to try to make some friends in the preppy blogging world.
3. Get more Instagram, Pinterest, and Bloglovin' followers!
4. Post more on Instagram!
5. Post more on my blog! So far, I have been trying to schedule posts every Saturday, but it hasn't been working out the best. Sometimes I don't finish posts in time, and then there is no blog post that week, or posts are very randomly posted. I plan on scheduling every post for Saturdays at 6:00 AM.
6. Redesign my blog. Right now, it looks pretty bad, to be honest. I really want to spend a lot more time on making it look nicer and more professional. I also plan on using some of my HTML skills to make it look better!
6. Interact with my followers! I haven't really been able to do this as of now, but I really want to! Please email me at kate.rose821@gmail.com if you would like to contact me about my blog, or if you just want to talk and be friends!
I hope you guys enjoyed! I know this was a super quick post, but I did post earlier this week. I intend to meet all of these goals in 2017, and I hope you guys can help me achieve them!
Love y'all!
xoxo Kate

5 Tips for Traveling
Hey, y'all! I don't know about you, but I love traveling. I have been traveling ever since I was 10 months old. I have picked up a couple tips ad tricks over the years, so here you go!
1. Use packing cubes!
Packing cubes are so amazing! They help you compress the clothes that you pack so that you have more room for even more clothes! I have always had the struggle where I would have to sit on my suitcase and struggle to pull the zipper closed. But, ever since I discovered packing cubes, I have never had to deal with that anymore! It's amazing because personally, I am an over packer. I bring almost a week's worth of extra outfits. Packing cubes help me pack and keep my clothes organized instead of thrown around in my suitcase.

2. Roll your clothes!
This tip kinda goes hand-in-hand with the last one. When you roll your clothes, it uses almost half the amount of space as folding would. Paired with packing cubes, you will have so much extra space in your suitcase! If you do not know how to roll your clothes, you can find a video on Youtube. Another perk to rolling your clothes is that it will help ensure your clothes are not wrinkly when you get to your destination.
3. Use a brightly colored suitcase
Have you ever struggled with finding your suitcase after your flight, when every other suitcase looks the exact same? That's where a brightly colored suitcase comes in handy! It is very rare that a bunch of people will have the same suitcase, so you can find your luggage quick, and leave the airport as soon as possible. Also, in general, I would advise you to avoid using a black suitcase, just because most people have black suitcases, and you may struggle to find yours.

4. Bring snacks and an empty water bottle
Water bottles and snacks past TSA are super expensive. I always pack a couple granola bars with an empty water bottle. Make sure not to fill the water bottle, because you will have to empty it at security, anyways. Snacks are just smart to have in case you get hungry before or after your flight. Some flights have complimentary snacks on board, but if your flight doesn't you definitely will want some for the long flight. Also, you can always find a water fountain to fill your water bottle with.
5. Wear comfy clothes!
I have made the mistake countless times of trying to be cute when traveling. Just don't even try. Your gonna be at an airport and inside of an airplane for hours, so try to dress as comfortable as possible. I suggest a sweatshirt, leggings, and maybe a hat. If you are going somewhere cold to hot, bring a tank top or t-shirt and shorts to change into after the flight, and vice versa if you are going somewhere hot to cold.
Thank you, and I hope you use these tips next time you are traveling! I hope you guys like these tip-type of posts, because they are super fun to make! If you have a request for a post, please go to my request a post page!
Love you all!
xoxo Kate
