<br />
While I love blogging, tweeting and all things social media; I've adapted to the one I love the most: <a href="http://instagram.com/coffeeaddictmama" target="_blank">INSTAGRAM</a>!!!!<br />
<br />
it's the <b>NUMBER ONE</b> place to find inspiration, post your daily photos, meet great friends and also earn some extra CASH on the side. Now don't get me wrong, you may never become a millionaire but you sure as hell can get a little spending cash your hubby doesn't need to know about......!<br />
<br />
My love for taking photos has led me to some amazing fellow igers who've really become some of my closest friends. I get non stop messages asking if i want to partner, buy or sell. And to be TOTALLY honest......I never even thought of doing any of those whenever I post a pic until now!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"> Like really?! People make money off this?! </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">yes</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1.)<i> </i>Build your following. You can easily grow your insta followers by using hashtags and using them wisely. Having a niche and hashtags go hand in hand. Both of them together will get you instafollowers! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2.) Take GOOD pics. People are attracted to bright colors and white backgrounds. Think about the lighting when taking photos and making sure everything is clear. Spruce it up with a filter and using that filters hashtag too! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3.) Bio. Your Bio is important. A little about your instagram and a link or email to contact you is crucial if you want someone to contact you about selling, partnering, etc. If you have items for sale in your pics, simply state that in your bio: "All products are for sale, inquire within!" or something will let buyers know you're selling! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4.) While you want to sell a product, don't give it away.....meaning don't write the price in the description of the post. If people are interested, they will leave comments or message you asking how much something is. You don't want to put it all "OUT THERE!"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5.) Hashtags. Did I mention that in number one? YES! use the HELL out of them. Posting too many pics throughout the day is annoying but HASHTAGS are NOT! use them so much and begin knowing how and what hashtags to use per pic! if you're trying to SELL something, use hashtags like #forsale, #buy, etc</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6.) Don't post more than 3 photos a day. Space them out and don't post more than 3 a day. It's like a meal. If you post a ton of pics throughout the day, you'll LOSE followers and how the hell are you supposed to sell anything if you don't have followers!? I'm serious when I say this. Stick to the 3 PIC/DAY rule and you'll love me!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
7.) Open a closet account. A separate account for all things you want to sell is great if you don't want that mixed in with your personal lifestyle. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8.) Treat it like a real business. After all, it is! Keep your word, ship on time and be professional. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9.) Communication. Interact with your followers via comments, messages, etc. Don't ignore. Talk. Create a trust and bond between you, the seller and the buyer. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10.) Take different payment options. Square reader is awesome. Swap items too....it's fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While there's a whole mess of tips on how to sell on Instagram; These are just some that may help you! Good luck...and share your insta accounts below in the comments!!! </div>

</div>
I'm super obsessed with perfecting my at home coffee making because all in all; I am a coffeeholic! A couple of years ago while I was working at a Dunkin Donuts, I was introduced to the famous "Turbo" shots. It's a shot of espresso in your regular coffee (for those who know nothing about coffee!) Hesitantly, I allowed a gal working with me to put one in my iced coffee! Holy Sinfullll. It was amazing. I was now hooked on what she called, "Crack in a Cup!"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-igbQf7hLBIg/V6DyZxviUZI/AAAAAAAANso/FvaqYRqs2KkuYLugDDCSutRzn955a6_ggCLcB/s1600/how%2Bto%2Bmake%2Bthe%2Bbest%2Bcoffee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-igbQf7hLBIg/V6DyZxviUZI/AAAAAAAANso/FvaqYRqs2KkuYLugDDCSutRzn955a6_ggCLcB/s1600/how%2Bto%2Bmake%2Bthe%2Bbest%2Bcoffee.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I'm an all around drinker, so for me trying new kinds of coffee is kinda my thing. While I will say that black coffee is my least favorite, I realize a lot of people LOVE black coffee. If you're trying to behave on calories then my suggestion would be to add a teaspoon or two of sugar and leave it sitting on the bottom of the cup instead of stirring it: it's not bad!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
if you follow <a href="http://instagram.com/coffeeaddictmama" target="_blank">CoffeeAddictMama</a> on Insta, then you may have already watched her video on how to make the best coffee! it's awesome, strong enough yet simmer enough, giving you the right amount of in-between flavors if you're new to coffee (and a lot of people are!)<br />
<br />
here's a cup of joe with these ingredients:<br />

<br />
i use the Nespresso machine at home and absolutely love it. there are lots of varieties to choose from, it's easy to use and actually nice by itself but if you want a full cup of coffee then brew your favorite (mine is folgers) and add the shot with some cream and sugar to blast off your best cup early in the morning or as a nice evening treat!<br />
<br />
how do you like your coffee? or are you a newbie and need some tips on becoming a famous coffee addict?<br />

It happens. Let's give some topics so you can whiff that fart goodbye! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wDU0WE-Ehuk/V55S5UVODzI/AAAAAAAANrk/3S3JczhLVmQbkHM_eYofvXWkNO4ElN74QCLcB/s1600/10%2BBLOG%2BPOST%2BIDEAS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wDU0WE-Ehuk/V55S5UVODzI/AAAAAAAANrk/3S3JczhLVmQbkHM_eYofvXWkNO4ElN74QCLcB/s1600/10%2BBLOG%2BPOST%2BIDEAS.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
1.) Share more of your photography and <i>offer tips</i> to those who don't know how to take photographs. I'm personally a really picky picture taker, so I tend to throw out a <a href="https://forblogs.blogspot.com/2016/07/silent-sunday.html" target="_blank">few of my shots</a> and when I'm bored, I grab the camera and take some photos of anything around me. The thing that sucks about me, is that I don't really know how to teach someone how to take pics, so share that for me please!!!!<br />
<br />
2.) What I Wore. Hellooooooo!! Fashion is the way to go when you have no clue what to post about. If you don't normally get dressed to post, then this is a really fun activity for you and for everyone reading. Gather your outfit and go on a photo shoot. Grab a friend to take your pics for you and pose. Pose away, have fun and then share it!!!<br />
<br />
3.) Food. It's the obvious when there is nothing else on your mind. I personally HATE food posts but LOVE them when I'm in a POST RUTTTTT! I'm not a foodie but I almost always have my camera on me when we're out and about. Share the restaurant you're dining at or if you don't normally share your meals//desserts, get some of the food porn on.<br />
<br />
4.) How To's. How easy is it to share what you know! Don't keep secrets, tell us how you do things, keep us in the loop and help out another blogger.<br />
<br />
5.) Take us down memory lane. When you began blogging, did you get a ton of views on your first post? Re-post, edit and share it. Did you forget to TELL us about the birth of your eldest? What about that time you.......Post your memories, what you've learned, where you've been. Life flies by. Don't miss a post!!!<br />
<br />
6.) Tattoos. Don't have one? Go get one and share the experience. The artist doesn't mind taking pics of the process. It's actually a fucking fabulous excuse to go get one or get another one!!!<br />
<br />
7.) Before and Afters. Everyone loves seeing what something looked like before and obviously the after. Take on a project if you don't often get a chance and then share it.<br />
<br />
8.) Feature another blogger. We're famous for that here on FTLOB and we absolutely LOVE sharing you.<br />
<br />
9.) Countdowns are really fun posts when you don't know what to post about. Top 10's, top 20's, my favorite places/foods/movies/books, etc....etc..... This gives you the chance to tell us your top's!!!<br />
<br />
10.) Vlog. Post a VLOG! Need a topic to talk about while you're video taping yourself, maybe even for the first time?!!!!........Tell everyone that FTLOB is challenging you to VLOG. Introduce yourself, your blog, why you started blogging and how you came about. For everyone who posts a new VLOG, we'll share on twitter and instagram and give you the exposure you darlings deserve. Leave comments with links and share yourselves. XOXO<br />

the moment you walk away from everything and life feels collided. my journey back to new york wasn't an easy one. i'd spent many days in tears wondering where i had been, where i was headed. why i was there and if i'd stay there forever. after a couple of months sobbing in sorrow, i'd realized that that wasn't who i was or who i'd wanna be. the saying you have to get knocked down to get back up again is in it's truths. when you crumble, you certainly feel faded.<br />
<br />
i got up. eventually. it took time. who the hell in their right mind considers time? because i sure didn't. and little did i know that it'd pass before my weary eyes.<br />
<br />
the only thing i've ever really lived for was proof. proving to myself that i could do anything and be something of worth. even if i didn't want it. i always felt the need to prove things to everyone and why is well, because if we don't as humans, then we feel no purpose.<br />
<br />
i took my slagging ass and built up enough courage to go get a better job than Dunkin Donuts. i was after all, a single mom for the first time in my life. i had to feed my girls and minimum wage was only paying my gas to get there and back. and maybe get these kids to school. i knew i was worth more, so i walked into a nursing home, put my application in to be a certified nurses aide and got hired immediately. i wasn't shocked because i get hired on the spot often but this isn't what i wanted to do with my life either. but i had to for the time being. i started classes and worked at DD at the same time, ran the girls back and forth to school, kept busy and eventually started working on an Alzheimer|Dementia unit. as the warmer months grew strong, so did the salvage on the curbs. i picked up a dresser down the street from us and hauled it back to the house to clean and paint for my eldest. it was then that i started driving by more and more antique furniture that had been set out for me to grab.<br />
<br />
overloaded on seventy hours a week between the two jobs i had kept, i found myself in tears one evening on the way to a dunkin that wasn't the usual store i had worked but they needed help at that location and of course i said yes, i would take it. i was driving too far and not getting any satisfaction from the good ol' coffee maker i'd become, so i eventually let that job go. it was too much. i'm a gal that lives simple and free. the cost of living didn't matter to me. the life i wanted to enjoy did. and if that meant going without, then so be it. i stayed at the nursing home for eight months. i worked over fifty hours a week to make that check worth something. but at the end of the day, my heart wasn't there either. i hadn't quite given up that job when i was thrifting, finding so much vintage at estate sales and on the curb. i tore the experience apart wondering why i hadn't done this long ago. it was naturally my calling. i mean why else was i finding all of this. i put alot of "JUNK" on facebook rummage sales that i didn't intend on keeping and met some pretty nice ladies who introduced me to a world of new beginnings for me.<br />
<br />
this was it. this is what i want to do with my life. i want to sell vintage, wear it and live in the 60's. i embraced the life so much that i eventually gave being a CNA up. i kept driving by a little place that was for rent while i was going to the post office and i just kept staring at it. and then i said, "if this place is still available when i drive by again, it's mine!" i did end up opening a brick and mortar there. i also ended up a month later running two shops. word spread so quickly, i was all over the place. and what i was originally doing in my shop ended. i was no longer painting furniture and selling a few vintage pieces, i was running a full blown coffee shop, flea market and selling everyone else's goods. i was in a new location remodeling my aunt and uncles shop when i started getting custom orders back. i decided that that was what i opened a shop for and that's what i was going to do. i began a Mackenzie Childs look for a client right before Christmas. Finished it that weekend and she picked it up that Saturday afternoon. that evening, i went home. Sundays were closed but i received a banging at my door at 3 a.m. telling me the shop burnt down. i was frozen. my life was filled with so much purpose once again and then it was gone in a matter of hours. there were apartments upstairs of our building and the fire started back by their stairs. my life was over. again. i had proved that i could be somebody and it was gone before i actually soared. i spent a year in depression. went through a break up, lost a shop, my livelihood, and felt like there was no more purpose. why did things always happen to me. i obviously felt so much and blamed myself to where i never got out of bed. for months i wracked my brain wondering what i'd done wrong. a lot. i did so many things wrong. but i realized that i'm human and i'm not perfect. and i can and will stand up again. and again and again. no matter how many times life spits on me. i have to live. and i have to figure it out.<br />
<br />
i had the girls for over three years and decided that it was time for their dad to take them. i needed time to get myself healthy once again and he did. he was good enough to me and started taking care of them full time. i left new york. i headed back to florida and got a full time position managing the back room of a grocery store. believe it or not, i make more money than i ever have working here in florida. it's ok for now. i still have my online shop and still sell a little bit. i had to escape everything and get my life back. i need to get myself going once again and so i am. slowly. i'm not at all fulfilled but i am trying. this site started when i was in florida. i neglected it when i was in ny and now that i am back where it all began, i'd love for it to be what it used to be! amazing. this group of bloggers gave me purpose just like my shop did. this community made me smile. i'm sorry i left it. i'm sorry life hit me in the ass so hard that i was down for years. i dont want to be scattered anymore. i want a fulfilled life and i have to learn how to achieve it. life is worth fighting for. it's meant to have it's ups and downs, smiles and frowns. i know i don't want to tackle this new adventure alone. and i know i want y'all with me. so what do you say, join us on a new FTLOB journey and let's create a better blogging community once and for all; for good!!!! and...............<br />

<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BZJN_9OtRRg/V5Tty6osptI/AAAAAAAANqQ/jBqRqkZPRZYi-5saNL_sjZGFkSG9ynSyQCLcB/s1600/DSCN3708.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BZJN_9OtRRg/V5Tty6osptI/AAAAAAAANqQ/jBqRqkZPRZYi-5saNL_sjZGFkSG9ynSyQCLcB/s640/DSCN3708.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
it's so nice to take a break from everything; work | blogging | networking, to just breathe the fresh air and rest easy. Recently I've become very tense. I'm typically always stiff but as of late, it's become way too intense. I suffer from migraines and body aches daily. It's awful. A full time standing job doesn't help. When your body has had enough, it will surely let you know! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm discovering a new way to cope with healing through natural remedies. Having migraines for 16 years is long enough to have tried everything. I've done so much to try to deal as best as possible and it's become a habit of mine to try new things. If you're anything like me; always on the go, working all the time and never sleeping, then let's accomplish relaxation together! Please. We need to be healthy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Things I've done that have helped me this past week:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1.) Breathe. Recently reading about how to relieve tension, I've learned that I don't breathe properly. I never take deep breaths. Not enough where the oxygen gets to my brain. So deep breathes in, slowly exhaling. It works. Do it several times throughout the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2.) Have someone rub out those knots in your back, neck and shoulders. Two thumbs pressing away from your body rolling it out will hurt like hell but it will remove the kinks for now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3.) Drink a SHIT LOAD of H2O. I'm not a big fan of drinking water but I FORCED myself to especially right after the massage because I knew that if I didn't, the toxins would stay in my body. Be prepared to pee a lot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4.) Lay Down. Prop several pillows up behind your head and legs and just lay there. Relax. Breathe and let your shoulders slouch. Upon learning about how to cope with stress of daily activities, I noticed that my shoulders are always forced to 'Stand Up' and I never relax them. I never allow them to slouch. Just let them fall. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5.) Hot water bath. I steam a hot bath for my feet. I learned from my massage therapist that if you soak your feet in hot water, the blood will flow back upward, preventing the headaches. I also rest in a hot bath with Bath Salts to relieve the stiffness. Drink water while you're in the bath. And then go lay down using the tips in #4.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6.) Stop eating Chocolate. I can't eat it or drink wine because it causes headaches. Teach yourself to eat less and drink more water. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7.) Take a slow outdoors walk. Getting some fresh air, grab the camera and walk slowly capturing natures glory. It will be the best relaxation ever. It truly is for me. I just gaze at the skies and take photographs. It helps forget about work and busyness. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8.) My aunt told me to put a cold pack on my neck and a heating pad over my eyes/forehead to relieve some tension also. It's been slowly working. My problem is I have to do it everyday because I work full time standing, so I'm always stiff. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9.) Sip on some broth. I enjoy sipping on some broth smothered with spices to relax. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10.) Call off. If you are so overwhelmed with everything, call off. Take another day to get the sleep you need. Try to get at least 6-8 hours. It's well needed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm hoping I can feel better after doing some basic things that will help relieve the stress, headaches, tension and get my life back to living healthy and lovely. I don't like feeling like this. Hope you feel better too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xhtHeO_jZKw/VpkRf4D7ZrI/AAAAAAAANSk/Lso-voGu0LQ/s1600/SUCCESSFUL%2BBLOGGING.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xhtHeO_jZKw/VpkRf4D7ZrI/AAAAAAAANSk/Lso-voGu0LQ/s640/SUCCESSFUL%2BBLOGGING.jpg" width="632" /></a></div>
i know we have our <a href="http://forblogs.blogspot.com/p/blogging-tips.html" target="_blank">blogging tips</a> and i'm sure you've read enough on the internet from other bloggers, etc about how to blog but really something you're not hearing is this:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u><b><span style="font-size: large;">A SUCCESSFUL BLOG TAKES TIME</span></b></u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
i don't mean that it'll take a year or whatever to be successful, although it does take some time to develop a well known blog but what i want to discuss is how time consuming a blog can really be! full time bloggers get paid to write, dress up, promote, etc. does that mean they're successful, sure. they take time to pull together a great post, advertise it online and pretty much sell their blog! not everyone has the time in a day to do that though. Many of you have jobs and go to school. Is it quite possible to have a successful blog + a life outside of blogging? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So How Do You Become a Success in a Blog?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 1. Relax. A really positive vibe and attitude will put you in the mood for blogging. Do not think too much about the process because then your mind goes hay wire! Having the right mind set will get you wanting to post and if you're already a busy minded person, I suggest breathing in some fresh air and taking a long walk before you get diving into the blog world. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 2. Set Up. You must have a space in your home or office that allows you the time to get comfortable enough to blog. I've had uncomfortable work spaces during the last 6 years of blogging because I move a lot and I find the most success comes from being cozy. I'm not especially great at blogging from a phone which many do, so my laptop is my masterpiece. You'll know what is right for you as far as where you want to be in your home or wherever to actually have a moment to blog. And the best advice I can give is ----- get cozzzzzy!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 3. Create. Your Posts are essentially who you are. Take/Share great photos, and mix that in with your writing, descriptions, your tell all! Photoshop Sayings, Type out your own, add words to your photos, etc.....Make it Fun, Create.<br />
<br />
Step 4. Themes and Topics. The most frustrating thing is not knowing what to post. Gain ideas and such just by daily activities. Incorporate a well thought out plan of what to post every single week. One of many bloggers faults, I'm very guilty of it is not planning my posts out. You need to post everyday to be successful. Sure a day off is fine, but overall <b>POST and POST A LOT</b>!<br />
<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The truth to a successful blog is to do it for all the right reasons. If you are meant to blog and share yourself with the world then you'll become a famous blogger.
