Happy Friday!
We hope you all had a great week. We had the MOST incredible time at El Dorado Royale (full review coming soon)! We had so many of y’all message us saying you have stayed at this hotel before, have honeymooned there, or just want to come after seeing our pictures and stories, so we LOVE that!
Before we get into that topic, we want to share this spring floral look that is perfect for Mother’s Day coming up, or graduation! We paired it with some of our current favorite accessories from Sole Society that are neutrals, so they go with everything! This clutch has been on major repeat these past few weeks and it comes in a few other colors, like yellow, which is so fun for spring and summer. These neutral wedges are surprisingly comfortable, and can be worn with shorts, dresses, rompers, or jeans.We love all of Sole Society’s pieces because of their price point and how versatile their pieces are!
Today, we are going to be talking about a more personal topic that we haven’t really talked about before: dealing with negative comments. It is a sensitive topic, and we don’t want to give that much attention to it because as you all know, it just is giving those negative people more attention, but we did want to share our tips on how we deal with it in hopes that it will help you all, too!
This floral dress is great spring dress because it is affordable, and fits SO well! We are wearing xxs petite, for reference!
Now, about the main topic! We have all heard at one time or another that you can’t please everyone. Of course, we know that, but it is still a hard pill to swallow. At the end of the day, you just have to be yourself, and stay in your own lane, as tough as that can be. Honestly, when we both share stuff on Instagram and our blog, we aren’t thinking X amount of people are going to read this or make a judgment, etc. We are just sharing what we love, and 99% of the time, we get such sweet messages from you all, and such great feedback, which really makes our day!
There is always going to be negativity out there, even if it is overall positive, and we totally get that. It can be hard to let go of the negative comments, no matter what they are. The thing is, when you put yourself out there, especially on social media, you are going to have people making judgements about you, your life, and your family, and most of it isn’t even true.
We may not have the highest “likes” on our photos, or may not appeal to every person reading or seeing our instagram feeds or blog, and that is okay because we truly LOVE what we do, and love the people that truly support us and raise us up. It is sad that there are people out there that will go out of their way to write something negative about you, and actually feel “ok” doing so. We were always taught that if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything, and we think that definitely applies here.
Of course, we all can be “judgy” at different times, whether it is out of jealousy, anger, frustration, etc, but when you go out of your way to write something public about someone, that is a whole other level, especially when you’re making assumptions that are totally false.
The point of this post is not to get attention, or to get people to feel sorry, but we just wanted to say that even if it is behind a screen, people still have feelings, and we know we aren’t the only people that have felt this way before.
We wanted to share some of our tips with you all on how we deal with negativity:
-Talk to friends or family about what you’re feeling, don’t just hide it and bury it
-As hard as it may be, addressing the negativity most of the time doesn’t resolve it, and just makes you feel better temporarily, so it is best to just drop it and move on
-Understand that the people creating the negativity are unhappy and in a bad place
-Remove yourself from the negativity, if possible
On a more positive note, we wanted to thank ALL of you for your support and sweet messages. You really don’t know how much it makes our day to talk with you all. You all are the reason we love what we do, and we are so grateful!
Have the best weekend! Xo
