Last month I marked three unbelievable years of running She Is Melrose and what a journey it has been. The third year I can admit it is the most challenging year as of yet. My personal life has some impact on the blog. However, I’m not planning on giving up any time soon. On a positive note to embark the blogiversery, I let go of the tradition of celebrating with a brunch and enjoy the gift of Green Tree Jewelry earrings instead.
Three unbelievable years of blogging quickly became the year where I had to figure out the balance between my own life and my life online and determine what was most important. With that, I started to do things differently. Instead of saying yes to every assignment that comes my way I began to decline. Knowing which one I can actually meet the deadline for since I am now a one person team. Other than my planner I honestly don’t know how I would have run another year without it. I’m going back to the roots of my blog, flying solo and all I believe teaming up with Green Tree Jewelry to celebrate the blogiversery is perfect timing.
Green Tree Jewelry is one of the first companies I collaborated with. They hold a special place in my heart as believing me as a blogger even when I had a few followers and was taking pictures off a smartphone and not my professional DSLR camera. The company is out of San Diego, and specializes is wooden laser jewelry. GTJ is eco-friendly and has a wide range of accessories. You can purchase steampunk inspire switch covers, necklaces, bracelets, and even ornaments. Which is excellent because Christmas will be coming up soon! I chose a pair of g-clef music note earrings. I wear them proudly. Not only does it shadows my name it also represents my brand. It’s a physical reminder of my blogging journey, and I want to thank the jewelry company for that.
