Being BRIGHT with BRIGHTON Intro

I actually filmed this video three weeks ago (wow – I really need to get on my game!), but I haven’t posted it because I needed to edit and trim the ‘fat’ (and I HATE editing videos slash I have no idea what I’m doing – probably the reason why it takes me so long…) So if it’s a little choppy – this is why. Just bare with me here, y’all.…

Where Do We Place Our Hopes?

The unfortunate thing about blogging these days is that your 'success' is on display for everyone to see and measure up. And I'll admit (although I like to deny this about myself), I'm a pretty competitive person. And because God made me this way (ha!), this also means that I'm driven, determined and just all-around intense. The difference with blogging (as opposed to other domains of life) is that people are bound to judge me based on certain metrics - whether that be Instagram followers, comment counts, site design + whatever other ways one could possibly 'measure' a blogger's success.

Branching Out Into The World of Non-Fashion

Thoughts About Non-Fashion Stuff on BTD Sometimes I day dream about writing about things other than fashion. In a sense, this blog is mostly a compilation of pictures showcasing different types of outfits and “things” I want to buy and such. I don’t really write much at all; and when I do, it’s pretty basic stuff (and frankly, rather meaningless – or at least feels that way!) So when I…

When You Get Jealous

I know...much easier said than done. But I got to thinking and I'm curious, why do we do this? Why do we (willingly!) dig ourselves deeper and deeper into a dark black hole that only leads to lust for more more more! I need this. I want that. I want to be like her. She's got it all together- sigh.

BLOGGING: ON GETTING DOWN IN THE DETAILS

Honesty is the best policy....right? So full disclosure here. I've been a little down in the details lately. And just as positive energy motivates and encourages, negative energy unfortunately has double the power to do just the opposite--discourage and impede. By no means do I intend to complain or be unappreciative, but sometimes it's just simply difficult to continue to focus on the positives. I know, I know...I sound like a cynical negative Nancy, but hey, we all have the right to get a little down every now and again, right?! And these thoughts/feelings are definitely having an effect on my creative juices and desire to put together a perfectly pretty and positive blog post as per usual. I hope you can understand and that you don't hold it against me or BrightonTheDay.

It’s THAT Time Again

I bet you have no idea what I’m talking about. Right? Sorry to disappoint, but when I say “it’s that time again,” I am referring to the fact that today is the day of my third CPA exam, which happens to be Audit & Attestation (zZzZZZzzZ!!). I don’t usually procrastinate, but I must say that I most definitely waited until the very last minute to “get serious” with the content…
