The Spring 2019 Swimsuit Edit: Suits You Need For Your Next Vacay

     It's that time of year again! Coachella festival, hitting the beach on spring break, or taking off for an impromptu trip all necessitate a new bathing suit. I just love swimsuits; I would have a vast collection if I lived near the beach. Unfortunately for me, it's not really appropriate to wear a bikini top to run errands. I guess I'll have to settle for putting together swimsuit editorials every year. I'm not even sure if they're helpful to anyone, but it's my blogging guilty pleasure.

A Little Peek Into My Design Process | How To Design A Logo

A Little Peek Into My Design Process | How To Design A Logo

     You may not know this, but aside from blogging, I also run a little side-hustle Etsy shop. It's called Jackie O My Shop. I began my shop when I realized there was a lack of affordable, high quality minimal logos available to purchase for my own site. As a small blogger, I understand that many are not able to spend a large sum on a logo, but are still trying to make their brand stand out. It became a goal of mine to offer people like myself options for a beautiful logo for little more than the price of a Frappucino.

Mistakes I Made While Blogging Last Year

     I spent forever trying to come up with the perfect intro to this post. Something inspiring, witty and down to earth to show how much I've grown creatively during my time writing. But honestly, I have no idea how to preface this article, and since the whole point of this post is transparency, it would be ridiculous not to admit that. So here's a quick rundown of the facts:

I've been blogging over 5 years, but Jackie O My is only two years old (and my longest running blog). I've been totally hands-on with my past blogs, and I've never been afraid to try new things or totally throw myself into a project. This has resulted in tons of trial and error. While I'm sure more "okay, that didn't work" moments will come after this, for the time being, I'm here to share some of the mistakes I've made so far.
