Kind of already posted this as part of a carousel a few weeks ago but I really like how it turned out so I’m giving it its own place on my feed!

This week is gonna be a little busy because I’m going to try and get a week or so ahead because we are traveling from December 18-29, and I’m terrible at getting work done while traveling. Still to come from our trip to Europe is a review of @usnews number 3 hotel in Europe, @hoteleden, a full Italy itinerary by train, and a guide to Rome. :
Quick update on my goal to double blog traffic this month compared to last month... in the first week traffic is over 25% higher than the first week of November! I appreciate all of the support you all have been showing the links I’ve shared! I need your help to keep pushing towards my goal!

Are you traveling for the holidays??

Productivity Hack
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time blocking. I learned about this during my time at @instituteofcode but really struggled to implement it once I got home. My brain tends to be working on about 15,000,000 things at once so stepping back and trying to slow it down is hard. This month I’ve started actually using time blocking where I work on one thing for a set period of time, and when time is up I move on to the next thing. You wouldn’t believe how much more productive I’ve been. I’ve been able to update the same amount of old blog posts in the first 6 days of this month as I did all of last month. Plus I’ve created close to 50 new pins for these blog posts to hopefully drive more traffic from Pinterest. I’ve also been able to cut down on my fiddling around in Lightroom and photoshop by editing 3 or 4 photos and using them for the week! Increasing my productivity also has meant more time to spend with Mallory and the pups and more time for working out and golfing!

What’s your favorite productivity hack you use?

On a different note idk why I make that face 😂 :

Today is a good day to have a good day 😊

Slowly but surely the blog content from our tour through Italy is making its way up. This was my second time to Rome and I have to say the best time to visit Italy is probably mid-October the weather was beautiful and comfortable for exploring and the crowds aren’t nearly as crazy as the peak summer months. :
Have you been to Italy? What was your favorite place you visit while there?

In Positano we stayed at the most legendary hotel on the Amalfi Coast, and it did not disappoint. From the incredible views, to the Michelin starred food, to the incredible service, @lesirenuse lived up to the hype and my expectations.

Would you spend a day here exploring the town or floating in the pool?

Today starts the final push towards the end of the year. There are just 29 days left to achieve the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the year. It’s easy to fall into the holiday mindset where everything you’ve been working on and towards gets pushed aside, but let’s keep each other accountable during these last 29 days of the year and cross off more of those goals off our lists.
:
My main goal for 2019 was to create more Good, useful content rather than content just for contents sake. I completely rebuilt my blog from the ground up and finally have a grasp on SEO thanks to the Make Traffic Happen ebooks. So while I didn’t create as much new content as I originally anticipated, I’ve updated several old posts to make them much more useful and optimized for organic search traffic! If you count the posts I’ve updated I am on track to publish more blog content this year than the last two years, and I plan on publishing a new post every week until the end of the year. I’ve begun focusing on Pinterest for traffic again since watching @liveloveruntravel ‘s journey of growing her blog by over 4000%. My goal for December is to double November’s traffic, and I can’t do that without you all!
:
What is a goal you hope to accomplish before the end of the year and how can we help hold you accountable towards achieving it??

When “act natural just walk down the path” turns into a dance number from singing in the rain ☔️ :
I’m so happy we decided to take a spontaneous day-trip to Salzburg while we were in Munich. Mirabellgarten was my favorite place we stumbled upon while strolling through this historic city. Between the flowers and the people watching we could have stayed for hours and not gotten bored!
:
Do you ever find a nice place to sit and people watch? I’ll tell you we have seen some interesting characters!

On another exciting note, my 2 Day Florence itinerary is now live on the blog! Head over to the link in my bio and check it out if you’re interested in visiting Italy soon!

When you’re past the planning stages for your next trip and scouting locations try to keep color theory in mind to make your photos POP! Going to Venice I knew there would be quite a bit of this orange stucco, but also the famous red and white dock poles, so I planned on wearing blue since it’s a complimentary color. When we went to Jungfraujoch we figured it would be pretty snowy, so I brought my red jacket to pop against the snow and ice! Check out my stories today for some more color theory resources!

Sorry I went kind of silent on here for the past week or so except for a few stories here and there. We spent last Wednesday-Friday in Orlando at @waltdisneyworld and @universalstudios. Since we only live a bit over an hour away we tend to head to Orlando a couple times each year for a nice staycation. We honestly had a great time. The weather was perfect and the parks really weren’t all that crowded. If you are planning a visit to Disney I would totally recommend coming down in November and if you can go during the week you’ll have a much easier time getting around the parks and avoiding long lines for the best rides!

Breakfast views don’t get much better than @lesirenuse in Positano. Our last morning in Positano we took advantage of the complimentary continental breakfast and coffee in our room before heading down to the main terrace for a full breakfast. :
What’s your favorite breakfast food?

This shot was actually really difficult to achieve to properly expose me and @barbells_n_bows21 the background ended up being blown out, so I took a photo of our view from the balcony with the coastline of Positano correctly exposed, then replaced the blown out background with that. The same idea as a sky replacement, but with the amazing cliff side as well. Check out my stories today for a breakdown of how I accomplished this.
