Life – Page 4 – Leave it to Lea

So I have decided to create a new name for my blog and Instagram! I just wanted to explain a little bit why I decided to change my name even though I just created this blog back in May.

Lately I have felt so unmotivated to post anything. I have all these ideas in my head about what I want to write about. But when it came time to write I just didn’t want to. I initially choose ‘lifestyle’ because I didn’t want to be categorized as either ‘beauty’ or ‘fashion’. I just wanted to write about what I wanted to write about. But then I found the the label ‘lifestyle’ restricting because I felt like I didn’t match with out lifestyle blogger. I just want to write what I want to write about. That is why I have chosen to create rid of all labels and just write what I want to write about.

I have been comparing myself to others too much lately. I have been worried about how much I am posting, what I am posting about. I’ve been too focused on numbers and not about the enjoyment of it. I want this blog to flourish but I need to remember to do what makes me happy first and foremost.

I am hoping that with this re-branding that I will be re-energized to post more often. I created this blog as a way to practice my writing skills and share my passions. That is what I should focus on!

Thank you to everyone who has been reading my blogs! All your comments and engagement are the reason why I continue!

Hey guys! So I usually try to do a monthly favourite every month but July has been so crazy. So instead this month I just want to give you guys an update on my life and why I haven’t been posting much.

Since it is summer I am working instead of studying of school. I work as an Deck Supervisor for my town’s Aquatics department (fancy way of saying I’m the supervisor of the lifeguards and pool). Since the outdoor pools opened in the end of June I have been working 35-40 hours a week – which is a lot. Since I work at a pool I don’t often wear makeup so it’s been hard to really review anything.

As well, in the beginning of July I got an amazing opportunity. My university does a big orientation, with every faculty and residence having their own representatives doing many activities through the week. Another big part of the orientation week is that we raise money for Shinerama, a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis Canada. I was asked in July to become an Assistant Coordinator for Shinerama for my faculty. I am very happy to be able to work on this; but between organizing events and donations for Shinerama and working I have had barely any free time.

So unfortunately the past month I have really not posted a lot. Now that it is August, most of the Shinerama planning has been finished, so I am hoping that I can post more. I will still be working, but I will try!

SO ya, that’s my life right now! I have much planned for this month, including a few hauls (oooooh!). So stay tuned everyone!

xoxo
