Weekend Reading

A lot of bloggers put together link lists or weekend reading posts on Fridays. It’s not something I’ve ever done before, but this week I read so many posts that I felt really needed to be shared. So, let me know if this is something you like and I’ll keep it up! In the meantime, make sure to bookmark these posts for when you have a little downtime this weekend, and check out my posts from this week too.

Emily (Cupcakes & Cashmere) gives a very honest update on her struggle with anxiety, and how being an mom has impacted her mental health.

Carly (Carly the Prepster) gets real about the pressures of living your life on social media, and the changes she’s seen in the industry over the years.

Dana (The Champagne Edit) shares her thoughts on how to stand out as an influencer in an incredibly saturated field.

Courtney (Color Me Courtney) writes about why she doesn’t label herself as a “fashion blogger,” and her experiences working with (or not working with) certain brands.

Katie (The12ishStyle) talks to Refinery 29 about her Instagram famous dog Toast, who died last year, and their journey together. As a dog mom, this one touched my heart, and I really loved reading about how Toast helped Katie feel more confident about her own message.
