Eight Years Strong

The significance of an eight-year anniversary is not to be overlooked or undervalued. I get it, most people focus on the big numbers like 5 or 10, but to me, eight is not only just as special, but has major meaning.

I’ve been at this blog thing for some time. It started as an outlet for me during my early mom years and quickly became a platform for all things fashion, food, and local treasures. But over the years it has become so much more. Yes, I blog about my discoveries and favourite outfits, and yes, I share all my top 5 beauty and skincare finds, but I also share my whole life and that includes struggles, challenges, triumphant moments, learnings, fears, and most recently, a new adventure.

 Over the course of the last eight years, Mademoiselle Jules has been my safe place to explore what I love but also explore myself. Some stuff I’ve always known, like I love working, I love sharing, I love helping friends and supporting my local city! Other stuff has come as a surprise to me, like I love to collaborate, I love to meet new people and try new things, and I absolutely love to create.

Mademoiselle Jules has been an incredible gift to me. Because of my dedication to this once-blog-turned business, I now have a jewelry line and that, in my wildest dreams, was never something I thought I would do.

So today, on my eight-year anniversary, I’m taking a moment to say thank you to you, all of you who visit my blog, scroll through my feed, engage with me at events, and purchased Mademoiselle Jules Jewelry. Thank you because without you, I’d basically be talking into a void. Thank you because you lift me up and give me such amazing feedback and thank you because you are why I get to do what I love all day every day!

So, here’s a toast to you, me and the big wide world: do what you love and you’ll work harder than you’ve ever worked before but you will love every single minute of it! Here’s to another eight years together!
