So I’m really sorry. I wanted to get my holiday gift guide out and have all of this stuff done and over with but I kinda let other things get into my head. And those things were a guy and the negative emotions that went with him. So in the spirit of sharing my life with you guys, I want to tell you a little bit about it.
It seems silly but I haven’t been in a good place this week and it is all because of a boy. I got caught up in the idea of him, and I made him a person in my life to support me when I was down even though we rarely talked to one another. I would get myself worked up over not talking to him when I had the chance or not asking him out or just mad that he existed because I’ve realized that that wasn’t a normal crush, it was a twisted dependency on a person who wasn’t really there for me.
So what am I gonna do about it? Well , for starters, telling you guys helps so much! Just the act of me admitting to the internet as well as myself calms me and helps me to work things out. The next thing is I’m just gonna do more of what I love, and stay as positive as possible about all of the change going on around me. I know that it will be hard, but I don’t like feeling this way. And lastly, I’ve reminded myself, and will keep reminding myself, that I have amazing friends and family that are so supportive. And I have you guys! You’re amazing and wonderful and I can’t thank you enough for just being there!
Alright so now that that’s out of the way, I’m gonna put together a sexy outfit to boost my confidence! What better way to feel better about yourself? Also stay tuned for all of the happy holiday cheer will be coming soon (probably tomorrow)!
I know that this is really, REALLY late but I’m committed to this so here is my November Favorites video for your enjoyment! Info about the products are below!
These are just some of the many habits that I find myself in and I would love to know if you guys did the same. It would just make me feel a lot better to know that I am not alone, okay? 🙂 Feel free to comment with your answers or any other weird things that you do!
Questions:
1) Do you ever skip really interesting Youtube commercials on accident?
2) Do you ever clean something that just immediately gets dirty again?
3) Do you ever get in the shower with your bra/underwear/socks on?
4) Do you ever make weird/scary/intense faces in the mirror?
5) Do you ever get posting anxiety on social media?
A bit about Alex:Â “Snippets with Alex is a blog about life, style, and things worth while — circled around faith and fashion for the everyday woman.”
1. Where did the name of your blog come from? When I first started my blog, I had no idea what direction I wanted to go in. I knew I wanted to include fashion, but I didn’t want to limit myself to just that. After much contemplating, ‘snippets’ just came to mind. Absolutely no boundaries.
Â
2. When did you start blogging? I started blogging back in high school to document my crafting endeavors and what not, but that lasted about three posts. Then I tried again, but failed after 5 posts due to lack of time with schooling and then teaching. I decided that the third time’s the charm and decided to go more towards the fashion route, which I soon realized was much more manageable because I had to get dressed in the morning anyway! 😛
3. Where do you get your inspirations from?  I get my inspiration from my conversations with people, other blogs, and pretty much just life in general.
4. Your taste in clothing is INCREDIBLE! Have you always had an interest in fashion? Aw, you’re sweet. 🙂 I’ve always been interested in fashion, but never really found my style until just recently. Up until college, I always felt like I was in someone else’s skin. I kept dressing myself with the hope to look like that other girl down the street. It was in college that I became comfortable with the body and personality that God gave me. No more trying to impress others. Back then, if I liked it, then I made sure that it was what’s “cool”. But now, if I like it, then I like it with confidence.
5. You say that another aspect of your blog is about encompassing faith into your posts. Can you explain how you do that? My faith in Jesus Christ is a big part of my life and I hope that shows through my blog, whether it’s a full fledge Faith Friday post, or with little words of encouragement. I feel like it’s easy to start getting self-centered, narcissistic, and materialistic when blogging about fashion, and so I try to remind myself daily that our purpose in life is not about our possessions, our own glory, or success, but about living for God in everything we do.
6. How are you able to balance life with your blog? Balancing my life and the blog has been difficult at times. It’s all about the planning — however it helps that I literally see my photographer every day since I drive her to school. 😉 But also, I told myself when I started my blog that my top priorities are still going to be God, family, friends, and my students. This year, with new curriculum and other school happenings, I only blog 1-2 times a week because my students deserve my very best.
7. What do you do outside of your blog?  Outside of my blog, my life mainly consists of teaching and keeping close with my family and friends. You can usually find me at a coffee shop lesson planning or grading, or spending time with friends. When I have extra time, I like to craft. Long story short, I have an off-and-on knitting and stationary business that I would love to dedicate more time to in the near future.
8. What exciting things are you looking forward to that involve your blog? I’m excited for everything and anything. Again, there are no limits [ besides time 😉 ]
9. Obviously you REALLY know how to run a blog! What advice can you give to new bloggers trying to establish themselves in the blogging community? Hmm, I still consider myself a new blogger….but I guess I would have to say, as cliche as it sounds, be yourself and don’t try to write like the bloggers that you admire so much. You’ve got your own voice, and we want to hear it. 🙂
10. Finally, what is the worst outfit you ever wore? My worst outfit? Honestly, probably everything that I wore before sophomore year of college. Honestly, it was more of my hair and glasses choices hence I am probably never going to cut my hair again. ;P
