February Sneak Peek

February 2, 2015 by The Bubbleista

February is already upon us–the first month of 2015 has absolutely flown by! Having just launched in January, I can hardly believe that I’ve already been writing on this site for a whole month.

January was exciting and taxing and challenging and fun and nerve-wracking and inspirational, all rolled up into 31 days. This month promises to bring even more, and I am ready for it. I hope you’re ready too, because I’m going to take it up a notch this month! I’ll be writing and adding new posts at least 3 times a week (every Monday & Friday, and at least one day during the week), plus the content is going to go a bit deeper as well. Don’t believe me? Just watch.

Here’s a taste from each blog category of what you can expect this month:

BUBBLY

It’s the month of love, and what would amour be without at little wine (especially of the sparkling variety) to go along with it? I’ve got a little twist up my sleeve though, so if you’re the type that likes to look at life through “rose” colored glasses (hint, hint) this post will be right up your alley.

FOOD + DRINK

If you don’t know already, I l-o-v-e a good food holiday (see here and here for proof) and, as I mentioned in my January Sneak Peek, I plan to highlight at least one every month. Although there are enough National and International Food Holidays to celebrate every single day of the year, only those holidays that are #BubbleistaApproved make the cut. Only the best for you, my dear. To top it all off, this month’s holiday(s) will be libation-focused. Bottoms up!

ENTERTAINING

Continuing on the love theme train, I’ll show you how to host a dinner à deux for you and your sweet thing. This meal isn’t reserved just for Valentine’s Day however, it’s for any time you’re in the mood for love. Feel free to let that earworm get into your head.

TRAVEL

If last month’s posts had you itching to do some travel, this month’s goal is to have you actually looking up airline tickets. Expect some wanderlust-inspiring imagery as well as a couple of highlights of my can’t miss spots.

DESIGN

Looking to spruce up your design aesthetic in 2015? This month we’ll talk design trends. I’ve scoured design mags and the internet to discover what the design world is focusing on this year. I’ll highlight my favorite ones; talk about creative ways to implements what’s in style; and give you the resources to make it happen.

THIS + THAT

Motivation Monday banner

For those who are always happy to have a little extra inspiration in their lives, I’ll be continuing my “Motivation Monday” series. Look for posts in this series that are designed to make you laugh; be hopeful; feel empowered; keep you focused; and even to give you a swift kick in the pants when you need one.

Is there something you’d like me to write on? A subject you’d like to learn more about? Tell me all about it in the comments section. If your idea is selected, you’ll be rewarded by winning a bottle of sparkling wine so that you can celebrate your sparkling brilliance.

Let me know what you like to see on the blog below!
