In vs. Out + An EXCITING Announcement

This week has been neither awesome nor horrible. Just blah. Which is almost the worst it could be. I remember waking up and going to work on WEDNESDAY thinking it was FRIDAY. Yikes.






IN:


All That's Glittered Fall Wallpaper! Just sign up for her newsletter and this beauty is yours!


Hitting your Fitbit step goal of 10,000 on a Tuesday. Y'all. This is kind of a big deal because I work a 9-5 job and sit at a desk ALL.DAY.LONG. Which really means, I was hustlin' hard on Tuesday. (Bad news: I haven't hit my step goal since)

I reached one of my MAJOR blogging goals--1k Instagram followers!

Getting mail from other bloggers

Stalking other people's "blogging" boards on Pinterest. I'm re-motivated when it comes to everything blog and I can't wait to share what I've been working on!


OUT:


Waking up every day this week and thinking it's a day later than it actually is

SOOO many birthday sweets in the house--it's so hard to not eat all of it!
 
When brands reach out and start the email off "Hello, Because I Said" Um. Hi my name is Allison and my blog's name is Because I Said So, sooo you got it all wrong. *delete*


-----------

And now for the exciting announcement....drumroll please....

 
 
I'll be hosting my first link up next month! Yep, that's right, In vs. Out will be a once monthly link up on the last Friday of every month--starting Friday, September 25th! Write your own post on what's in and out for the month or week and share it!

So, mark your calendars, I'd love for you to join me!

  1. I totally feel you on the step goals. I'm a teacher so I'm stuck inside most of the day. I've started walking around the track at school after work but with heat indices in the 110 range, I'm good to do 2 miles and then dissolve into a puddle in the comfort of my air conditioned car.

    Congrats on the IG followers!

  5. haha I just got a fitbit (finally) so hitting that 10,000 everyday is like a big deal for me. I work a 9-5 too so I try to get up every 30 minutes to an hour just to move a little :)

  7. Can't wait to join your link up because I have so wanted to create my own but didn't think it would be fair to write my own in/out even if I did credit you!

  8. I LOVE getting mail from other bloggers and looking through people's Pinterest blogging boards as well! It's such a great way to find new things to improve your blog. Congrats on hitting your IG goal as well!

    I started dying laughing at the brand email because I can TOTALLY relate. I hate when brands address me by my blog name -- my name can easily be found on my blog and you can totally tell that the brand sent the same email to a bunch of other bloggers but just changed the name! I even had a brand call me by "Private School Prepster" a couple of days ago ... I rebranded almost three months ago?!

  11. Getting the days mixed up is the worst! I also hate the feeling of waking up in a panic on the weekends thinking that you're late for work. Heart. Attack. Congrats on hitting your Instagram goal!

  22. I love my fit bit! As a retail worker, I'd hit my goal (sometimes 12,000-15,000 steps even) every time I worked a shift- but only got 2000 steps or so on the days I didn't work. We'll see how I do at college!
