I’ve been following along with The Everygirl’s 30 Day Challenges since they started and I’ve been so impressed with their topics. Last month focused on social media free socializing and the month before that centered around motivated mornings. It’s like they’re peeking into my life, targeting the exact areas I could use some change. When they announced 30 Days of Advancing Your Career I nearly fell out of my seat.
One thing I’ve learned so far is that challenge brings change. I think people are generally afraid of the word change, but the end result is growth. I don’t know about you, but I could use some of that. I think this challenge is the boost I need to get hold of my focus and hone in on what I need do in order to get myself where I want to be. Not only can this challenge be applied to my career, but my blog, too! First up, learn how to use that camera. Any pointers for beginners? The contents of the box provided me instructions….in Spanish. No hablo espanol.
Will you be joining in the challenge this month? Let me know down in the comments!
I am super excited about this month because of the career focus!

YAY! I need to refocus my career completely. I actually had a meltdown this weekend about where I was at with it… I’m not happy at all and that needs to change!
You’re so right that challenge brings change, and often that’s a good thing. I usually hate change, but when I’m changing for the better because I’m challenging my limits, then that’s a good thing, right? You go girl! Glad we got to see each other, if only for 2 minutes, on Friday:)
I just might participate in this challenge…for real! I could definitely use some refocusing! Thanks for sharing this!

Now that i’m older (and a tad bit wiser <— I can see my entire family rolling their eyes right now at that!) I feel like I’m more accepting of change, it’s just change in-between that bothers me. AKA “THE WAITING PROCESS”. I was so excited when I saw The Everygirl 30-day project but then I felt discouraged because to me, advancing your career takes money, and that’s what i’m lacking. But not to worry, because I have my next big Passion Project (relaunch my YouTube to create tutorials because taking eye selfies is a rough life).
Tips for cameras: Although I do love auto focus, my photography professor always made us shoot on manual. If you have a lense that you can adjust yourself, you can create depth of field and to me, those pictures are cool. It’s when you focus on the object and then there’s blur around it or in the background/foreground. Here’s some great tips by Shameless Maya: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rjAQl4wr6Q She has other videos you just have to search around her channel 🙂 xo – Jessika http://www.jessclassy.com
I’ll have to check the challenge out! As for learning how to use the camera see if there’s any camera classes on Groupon or Living Social. The best way to learn is to get out there and shoot shoot shoot! Also check out YouTube for tutorials on your specific camera. NEVER USE THE AUTO SETTING : ) You’re better than that!

This is a great challenge — and you’ll pick up the camera pretty quick! Trial and error is the way I’ve learned!
I love your attitude, girl. GO GET ‘EM!

Let’s hope! I loved your photos today 🙂
They have been so spot on!
That’s a good idea! I’ll have to keep that in mind 🙂 I’m going to practice my little heart out haha
I’ll have to check these out! Thanks so much for sharing Jessika 🙂
p/s you will get there, just keep plugging away!
I’m really exciting to see what comes of it! 🙂 Thanks for reading!
Of course, Shannon! I think we all could from time to time 🙂
Absolutely! I’m glad we did too. I wish it hadn’t have been so full so we could chat. That just means it needs to happen again soon (and for longer!)
Oh no! We can do this together 🙂 I had a quarter life crisis awhile back haha.
You and me both, sista!
Why thank ya! It’s time to get down to business (insert emoji with cool shades on). p/s I had serious FOMO on Saturday.
I just read about their challenges the other day, what a good idea. Good luck with yours!

YES WE CAN! Yeah, it was bad, I actually started crying at a restaurant when I started talking about it to my boyfriend. WHOOPS! But makes it that much more obvious that I need to work hard!
Loving TEG challenges! They definitely always seem to be inline with what I’ve already been trying to work on personally so it’s a nice little extra push to motivate me! Oh and the biggest tip I can say for the camera, is learn to shoot on manual. It really is quite easy and the pictures are so much better! Feel free to email me if you have questions or I can send you some of the things I used to help me learn 🙂
I love The Everygirl challenges! I should really get on this one, it sounds fabulous! xx
Thank you! Let me know if you decide to join in 🙂
So am I! That’s what I’ve heard from several people. I feel like such a newbie! haha thank you, I just might take you up on that!
Me toooo! It always feels like they are speaking right to me 😉
