One Year


Today officially marks the one year anniversary of Gal Meets Glam.
I started my blog a year ago today on whim, never having looked at a blog before.
I wanted to create a site where I could share all of my passions combined
- fashion, styling, beauty and everything glam.
I decided on creating a blog because it was a quick and easy way of getting started. 
After about a week of having my blog, I was blown away from discovering this "blog world".
I found so many inspirational people, pictures, websites, videos and I couldn't wait to get my hands on a little bit of everything. 
I feel so blessed to be able to share what I love and have such an amazing group of readers who have encouraged me along the way. This whole thing is a learning process and I continue to grow with each day. It's funny to look back and remember having 1 page view (I'm pretty sure it was my own) and to look how far it has come now. 
My blog has given me so many great opportunities and has connected me with people I otherwise would have never met. I am so grateful for all of the amazing relationships I have been able to build and to know that hard work does pay off. 
I want to thank you all for following me through this journey and continue with me as I take these next big steps in life. They are the biggest yet (graduating college, moving to a big city with my fiancĂ©, starting my first "real job" and getting married) and I'm beyond ready to take it all on.
