    Love these. A lot of these lessons were told by bloggers at the LuckyFABB conference, but they are so much more interesting when told through GIFs.

    It’s been awhile since I’ve been active on IFB and I’ve noticed a truly new approach to the site. But this has definitely helped me approach my fashion blog which is totally different from my business blog. I appreciate the tips and can’t wait to get back to writing.

    Thanks again

    I think if I had to sum all this up in one sentence it would be; “Be confident, Original and Grateful.” I have a relatively new blog. It is a fashion blog along with a peek into my world, my travels, life with my familia and my thoughts and take on women’s issues and it will always be that way.
    Love the animated Gif’s and the post 🙂
