What a week!
This is the first week I’ve felt really swamped with juggling wedding planning, the blog, my other job and maintaining some sort of normal social life. It’s been fucking hard. As you noticed I only posted twice, despite one being insanely beefy, it’s been quiet over here. I would say sorry but I’m actually not! I just need to do what I can when I can for the next few months. If it means 1 post a week then I’m not going to beat myself up about it because this shit is hard. I’m about to enter into a whole 10 days straight of work at the shop which I’m excited about because I love my job but I’m also slightly nervous about. It sounds strange but I am a planner and although I knew this week of work was coming up I feel as though I’ve blinked and it’s here! Much like the wedding will be I guess.
As I said I’ve been feeling pretty swamped this week and it wasn’t helped when I went into a store to a do a job for a brand and I wasn’t confronted with the rudest customer service. I explained that I was there on behalf of the company to take some photos for a job that I was doing and the way I was treated was like crap. It was very obvious very quickly that we (Isaac and I) were not welcome into the store. When we walked out we were both in shock and in a way I was disappointed. Why in today’s day is it so hard to be kind? I then went onto cancelling the job with the company and explaining my disappointment. For those who were wondering I didn’t hear back.
For 2017 I made it a goal to make sure I’m continually showing my fellow bloggers love and support. I think it’s important to do that because we are all trying to get somewhere. I have been overwhelmed with the love over on Instagram lately and I’m so excited to have a great community over there. I’m also making sure to comment on at least 10 blog posts most days and I’m loving reading everyones work again!
What have you guys been up to this week?

It seems to be getting harder but that’s okay!
Ah, the times of craziness! I remember a few years ago, I was in a similar situation – balancing 3 jobs, activities, socialness and a casual blog – I don’t know how I got through it but I did eventually and felt like a great achievement! Do what you can that you’re happy with!
Arg, I hate bad customer service or even just not a happy person – it’s not that hard. Luckily you let that one go.

I know! It’s not nice to be friendly about things x
I feel that often as well, it’s a super busy time for me work right now with my boss going on maternity leave this week and I am taking on both roles for 2017. We can do it Sarah!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one Maddie! Hope you’re going okay xx
Life definitely gets like that sometimes and when it does my blog always takes a backseat. It’s a shame and I don’t like doing it, but sometimes real life has to come first and that’s nothing to be ashamed of. That’s also super surprising that you were meant to be working with the brand and then a staff member was so rude to you and brand didn’t even acknowledge it?! That’s just bizarre to me, but at least you know not to work with them anymore!

Yep! I never heard back from the company. So fucking weird
That really sucks that they were rude to you. Totally understandable why you wouldn’t want to work with them.
I hope life calms down for you soon!
Thanks Mel! It seems to be only getting worse haha but that’s okay
That situation with the terrible customer service really irks me. And it’s even worse how the company handled it (by not dealing with it at all)!!! Definitely would NOT want to work with a company like that anyway. So horrible!
Juggling planning a wedding in-between everything must be a crazy amount of work, I couldn’t even imagine!!! I hope it all calms down for you soon :) xx

No way. I was like fuck that I don’t need this haha
Thanks Ange! It seems to be only getting worse but it’s all good
Ugh bad customer service always leaves a bad taste in my mouth too :( It’s hard to not stress too much about juggling everything but just keep that end game in mind <3

We will get there eventually haha :)
It takes as much effort being nice than being rude, I really don’t understand why people choose to do the later.
Keep doing what you can, don’t beat yourself up for not posting as frequently.
Great post!

Totally agree!
Rudeness should never be tolerated and good on your for cancelling the job. Don’t stress too much about everything. Focus on the wedding and enjoying what makes you happy xx
I won’t be posting here much I don’t think but keen to keep Instagram flowing so we’ll see how we go :)
Ahh Sarah, that sucks! I hope things get better for you! But you have such an exciting event to look forward too this year!! All the hard work will pay off leading up to the big day!! Don’t stress to much about it, it will all pan out!!

I’m not stressed just like woah I’ve 10 million things on my to-do list and I’ve done 2 of them haha so just busy chipping away at it xx
Hope things are working out fine for you. I feel you – been there, done that. Just try to enjoy the stress of wedding planning, you’ll miss it when it’s over and done with (kinda).
