FIRST POST OF 2020!!

I took my vacation VERY serious this break and it’s taken me a bit to get back into the groove. Now that we are in the second week of January, I wanted to talk about my intentions and What’s next for Frank Vinyl in 2020. It’s so far been a great tradition to do posts like this at the beginning of the year because it really helps me reflect on what I accomplished and what I want moving forward. I get to hold myself accountable by writing it down and it keeps you guys in the loop. I always want to keep improving, moving forward and honing in on what I can provide for you via this blog. Yearly check-ins are so necessary!

Below are some of the promises I made the last few years that were kept and will continue to be present in the future of this blog:

• “I am only posting about products, clothing and things I really believe in”
• “More posts that are beneficial to you”
• “100% Authentic”

Moving into 2020:

One of my personal goals this year is to meet new friends that live in my city. While social media has made it easy to meet new people online, I’m going to make an extra effort to cultivate those friendships that live near me as well. There are so many amazing people out there and I know that we can learn more than we think from each other. Challenging myself to step further out of my comfort zone and meet new people is a priority of the moment.

Community

Sticking to this theme, it seems only natural to carry this into the FV community. This year I’m going to focus on building a stronger community. I want to HELP YOU meet people who are interested in the same things you are. Focusing on building the Facebook community by creating a private group so you can meet new people that are interested in the same things seems like the perfect next step. It’s been a long time coming and I have no idea why I didn’t do this before. Wish me luck because I have no idea how to do it, but it’s happening!

FV EDITING

On another note, I have always shared knowledge about photography and editing here, but I recently started sharing in-depth editing tips via my newsletter towards the end of 2019. In case you didn’t get notified, make sure to subscribe to my newsletter if you want to be a part of that group! I get so many questions about how I edit so I have been sharing digestible tips every once in a while for free. It’s been a great way to share this information and have been getting great feedback!

Sustainability

Last year I focused on learning about sustainability. I’m definitely still moving towards a more sustainable wardrobe and will continue with this journey. Many of you have been enjoying those posts and I’m so happy to see most of you learning about sustainability alongside me.  I’m feeling so inspired and find sustainability trickling into other areas of my life, like shifting towards going plastic-free. In an effort to keep pushing this into the blog, expect more of my blog posts to have sustainable options for you this year!

As far as any other plans, John and I have so many travels planned for this year and I can not wait to share more packing tips, travel guides and bring you along for the journey. Thank you as always for reading. I’m so excited for this year to come. I have a great feeling about it!

Much Love
