Hello guys! I was wondering if I should post a normal post or just something a little off routine and I have decided to give y’all a little life update. So it’s crazy that we are in August. The year flew by so fast and I literally can’t believe this year is rounding up and packing it luggage lol. It’s summer so I have a break from university. Tho, I have some uni work and projects to do, I’m glad for the break. So what’s been going on?

Life update
As I mentioned earlier, I am on a uni break. I have been resting, catching up with aspects of my life that I have been neglecting and I have been working on my blog as well. While doing every thing I possibly can and utilizing the break to the best of my abilities, I make time to relax and chill out as well. I do have school projects that I have been working on. Also, it’s my birth month and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate my birthday. Look who’s turning 19 haha.
Blog update
This month has been amazing so far. I have worked on the blog, optimized for SEO, written guest posts and so much more. While it’s been kinda stressful, it’s been fun. I must admit that blogging is something I love with every fibre of my being. It’s my first time as a blogger and i’ve made mistakes, learnt from my mistakes, and all that but i’m happy with the progress my blog has made and the appreciation, reception and love it receives on a daily basis.
I could spend the whole day putting up screenshots of the lovely remarks people have left about my blog. It makes my day to know that people love and appreciate what I am doing. It’s no easy feat and I know I deserve all the accolades i’m getting. That’s some self love right there haha! Yea. I’m proud of me. You should be proud of you too! You deserve all the good things and more!

RLG store
So yea, you read it right. RLG’s store. I can’t tell y’all how excited I am for this store. I have been working on this e- store for months and it will be officially launched on the 1st of September. The store will consist of variety of items and there is a little something for everyone. The store will consist of organizational items like planners, digital calendars, self development items like self care workbooks, a little something to help when you are having a bad day, colouring pages, self love kit and some items for bloggers like pinterest templates, and blog planners and I hope you love it!
I’m excited for this store. It’s been one of my blog goals to have a store where I sell my own digital products and that goal is coming to reality. Whenever I do something, I always want to give it my best. I put so much into this store, as I want each buyer to get quality for their money. I wanted to launch the store this month but even with the fact that I’m on a break from school, there’s a lot on my plate and so I decided to launch the store in September (the first day of September to be precise.)
To launch my store, I’ll give out a coupon code and the first 30 people to make a purchase on the store using that coupon code will have discounts up to 37% off any product they buy on the store. Fab right? Stay tuned for the blog post that will be published on the 1st of September. The coupon code will be right there. Good luck!
Roundup
Everything has been going on pretty well. I’m excited for the store, and I hope y’all love it. This store is a big feat I thought it would be nice to give y’all a sneak peek of what’s going on in my life, blog and all! I hope you enjoyed reading a little life update. Thank you for sticking around!
