Happy October, y’all!

I don’t know about you, but I get really excited  about stuff and then for whatever reason, that excitement fades. Quickly.

After an inspirational + extremely motivational weekend in Brooklyn, I am making an exerted effort to keep the excitement alive.

How? By challenging myself throughout the month of October.

I remember hearing that it takes 21 days to form a habit. I didn’t think much of it, aside from the fact that 21 is my favorite number thanks to 7th grade Spanish class, but it stuck with me. A month is more than that, so I’m hopeful.

Here are 4 ways I plan to challenge myself in October:

1. Gala Darling’s #lovetober. It’s the perfect photo challenge, period.

2. I will be following the One Room Challenge + challenging myself to spruce up a room of my own.

3. The Coast to Coast Challenge is a style challenge I participate in from time to time, but I want to commit to it this month and do each challenge.

4. Blog Everyday. If you blog you know that content is king. Even if you don’t blog you know that practice makes perfect. One really good blog challenge is #blogtober14. I personally won’t be doing this specific challenge, but if you need blog post ideas, it’s worth checking out.

Are you doing any October challenges? Or are you challenging yourself in another way? Follow me on Instagram to see how I doing, then let me know if you’re going to join so I can follow you as well!
