Cool things that happened last week and interesting posts people wrote that you should read =)

1.)  No one else’s dream is more important than your own. It doesn’t matter if your dream is to go to the moon or to have a white picket fence, your dream belongs to you and it is important. (via Dearest Darling)

2.) From our money to our bodies to our feelings, the general community seems to think we own them an explanation of our actions and decisions. The thing is, these decisions and actions are ours and ours alone, and we just don’t have to justify them. (via The Journey)

3.) 10 things you should do for your blog in 2015 including a fabulous list of resources for anything and everything blog related! (via The Well)

4.) A huge key thing with interacting with your followers is to respond to their comments on your photos. I see so many people who completely ignore comments that are written to them. It’s one thing if you forget to reply, but really, don’t ignore your community. (via Coffee With Summer)

5.) You aren’t the only one envious over professional creatives. You know the ones. The girls who have built careers out of scrapbooking / design / crafting / photography and get to spend their days working from home. They make it look so easy and so incredibly appealing. (via Delaney Paige)

6.) Hang a Little Glitter: a #DIY project even the most challenged DIYers can successfully accomplish! I know this because I’ve had my fair share of do-it-yourself fails. (via Rae of Sparkles)

7.) In all it’s forms, denim is the one fabric that fashion will never give up on. Simple skinny jeans are fabulous, but we encourage you to break out of your comfort zone and try something new this year. (via Lucy Marie)

8.) The key to overcoming the difficulties and stress of being a small business owner is to surround yourself with a community of people who are just as excited about your vision as you are.

9.) Everyone has an interesting story if you take the time to reach out and get to know them. The cool looking, unapproachable girl in the corner might just be extremely shy and the shy geek in the corner might go on to become the next Marisa Mayer. (via Levo League)

10.) A beauty line designed to meet the specific issues of skin care for the traveler. This is HUGE because we often don’t consider the effects flying and environmental changes have on our skin when we switch climates or seasons like dryness, dehydration, fine lines, redness, dullness and irritation.
