Hello everyone! Today on the blog I have some very special news. Today marks the one year anniversary of my account! I created my account today one year ago. Time really does fly by! However, I did not officially start posting on my instagram until November. Anyways, I felt like I should share with you all a little bit of history of my account, and how pink & preppy got started.
One year ago today, I was looking for a fun summer project to do. Some friends were over and they told me that I had some really good fashion ideas and that I should do "one of those preppy accounts". Little did I know that a year later I would have as many followers as I do now.
I started with posting pictures that I found on Polyvore or Google. Then my friend Gracie suggested that I should post some of my own pictures, and I did. As you all know now, I only post my own pictures!
I really enjoyed it and I started to gain more and more followers. I was contacted by a highly popular monogram shop (that is now M.I.A) when I reached 500 followers which was on thanksgiving. They asked me if I was interested in doing a giveaway with them. Of course at the time I didn't know if it would help my account grow, and surely enough, it did.
Fast forward a few weeks and it is now Christmas Eve, and I gained 250 followers in one week!! I was so excited because that meant I now had 700 followers!
By the time January rolled around I reach 1000. Yes! I did another giveaway to celebrate my accomplishment. Some of my followers suggested I create a blog. I was very nervous and hesitant. Before long, I had one! I was hesitant because I didn't know if it would become an abandoned project. And yep you guessed it... it did. My last blog post was back in March.
Now fast forward to now. I am a growing account and I now have 1500 dearly loved followers. I have decided to start blogging a lot more. Every Sunday and Wednesday to be exact. You may be wondering why I am doing this. Well, about a month ago, I created a YouTube account. I uploaded one very crappy video. (Sorry about the language :) ) I then started to think about negative things that might come out of it and just decided that I am going to wait a little longer until I gain more followers. I just don't want to make videos if I am only going to get 30-40 views per video if ya know what I mean. So I have just decided that I would rather blog. I enjoy writing, so this is fun for me.
In the future, I plan on doing many more blog posts, and who knows, maybe a YouTube video! When I reach 2000 followers (I'm only 500 away) I will be doing a HUGEE giveaway with everyone's favorite brands! I am going to Jamaica in October, so you can expect a few blog posts about that in the future. Also, many back to school posts!
I hope everyone has a great day! Special thanks to all of you awesome followers who have gotten me this far. I couldn't have done it with out you! Love you all so so much!
