OMG how has it already been an entire year since Spoonful of Trish was born?! It was a Thursday evening, I was home alone sitting on my couch 2 glasses of wine deep watching the 15th season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy. I googled how create a custom URL and how to sign up for a domain and hosting site and here we are 365 later!
Honestly, I wasn’t sure if Spoonful of Trish would even last an entire year, so I initially only purchased the URL for 12 months. I never imagined in my first year of blogging that I would have the opportunity to work directly with huge brands such as Rent The Runway, Fab Fit Fun, Natalie B. Jewelry, Rocksbox and Winc just to name a few. My pictures also somehow made it up on Rebecca Minkoff’s website which is just insane to me. I totally wish I started this years ago but never had the courage to put myself out there.
When I started Spoonful of Trish I obviously had no clue where it would lead me. When found out in May that we would be moving 600 miles away to Washington, DC – I really didn’t know how I was going to meet new people since I work from home full-time. A month or so in I finally decided to bite the bullet and attend a DC Bloggers event all by myself where I was welcomed with open arms to an insanely supportive community of other influencers and bloggers, many of which I call my close friends now.
I really appreciate everyone who has followed along with me for an entire year supporting this dream if mine. Special shout out to my husband who takes at least half of my pictures (if not more) and has actually become quite the photography pro. Another shoutout to my OG friends and family who might make jokes here and there about “shopping my look” but I know deep down they have my back even when they don’t have a single clue what the LIKEtoKNOW.it app is.
Last but not least, a final shout to all of my internet friends who I may never have the opportunity to meet in person, but you guys are the best cheerleaders liking, commenting and sharing my posts. Speaking of cheerleading, if you haven’t watched CHEER on Netflix yet I highly recommend. And if you have watched the show you’ll understand this when I say if Navarro can hit their pyramid, you can do anything you put your mind to, including starting a blog. The more effort you put into something the more of a return you will receive. I’m so excited to see what year two brings and I already have a couple of surprises up my sleeve.
xoxo,
Trish
