Gorgeous Gorgeous Girls create vision boards for 2022

Hello 2022! I welcomed this fabulous year with an open mind and heart.

If you are looking for realistic advice to create real goals and dreams for your 2022, look no further because I am breaking down how to create the best board for you. I will not be speaking about health goals, because I am not a nutritionist, dietician or a fitness trainer. Those goals are left for you to decide to tackle and there is no shame in how we look entering our “post pandemic” era. 

To curate the best vision board for yourself begin with three to six big goals. For example, they could be labeled “financial” or “personal”. This helps create a foundation for our overall board. Figure out which three areas in your life you want to focus on all year. 

 

The next step is creating a realistic timeline for each sectional and adding one to three goals under that section. For example, if your sectional is “personal” what two personal goals would you add? It could be regarding traveling twice a year by yourself or spending time with family. 

Once you have three to six big goals and the smaller goals written down, find an appropriate timeline for each goal. Using the traveling example, avoid writing things like, “Travel to Europe and Mexico before October”. Instead, write down things like “travel to Mexico during the spring” and “end of summer trip to Europe”. Personally, I like to have an end of the year goal and a half-way point goal. This motivates me to get to my June goal and once I have hit that goal, I know I have six months left to achieve my end of the year goal. 

Once all of your goals are written down, timelines are set and you have a clear understanding of your goals, it is time to pull inspiration. Start by choosing your color of the year. Find a color that makes you feel calm, motivated and excited all at once. If you can’t pick one then find two more. At the end of the day, this vision board is for you to look at and feel inspired. 

The next step is finding two or three fonts that fit your aesthetic. If you are just using pictures, you can skip this step. The reason texts are important for a vision board is to motivate and want us to look back at our boards. I think fonts are just as important as the pictures we decide to use. 

The final step is finding the photos you want to collage and placing them on the board. My advice is working your pictures from the edges into the middle. Find your big goal pictures and section them around the edges. Then, add the smaller goal photos and any texts you want to go alongside. And do not forget to incorporate your 2022 color (or colors) to make your board cohesive. 

A vision board is a fun way to tackle those big goals and the small goals we all want to achieve. If you have a hard time finding inspiration, look for articles, videos, and podcasts that talk about healthy goals to create. Everyone has something they are looking forward to each year and it is a way to do something for yourself. 

I hope that my advice can help you create a beautiful vision board for 2022. Send this article to your friends for a fun wine and vision board night. Or send it to someone who needs some creative inspiration for 2022.

7 Clever Ways to Personalize Your Dorm Room

 

The college dorm room. It’s a blank slate where college students across the country are able to make the space their own. The room is an essential part of most college students’ lives — it’s where they live for a few years and a home away from home.

 

For incoming freshmen, new and old students and the want-to-be interior designers, their dorm rooms are opportunities to get creative and make it personalized. You are likely in one of these positions if you’re reading this article, which is great because you’re going to learn so many great tips to turn that blank canvas into something that screams “you!”

 

Here are seven clever ways to personalize your dorm room and make it a place you want to come home to every day.

Make the Entryway Stand Out

When you move into your dorm room, you might notice that every single door looks the same. How can you tell which dorm room is yours without looking at the room number? That’s why you should start by personalizing the entryway!

 

Decorate your door and make a “welcome” sign or personalize it using letters and tape to spell out your name. Additionally, once you open the door to your room, have an area to set your items. For example, you can hang a key holder or add a few hooks to stash your coat and backpack.

Create a Comfort Zone

Your bed is the focal point of your room, so add pillows, blankets and any other items to create a comfort zone. Get matching pillows for your bed sheets and comforter. A great way to make it personal is by designing your own pillowcase, complete with a photo of your pet or family!

From mattress protector to kitchen supplies and storage solutions, be sure to check the dorm room essentials to meet all your needs and ensure a successful college experience.

Another super clever idea is to raise your bed to loft height and make a cozy area underneath. You could add some fun bean bag chairs, or you could hang a hammock in your dorm room with the help of a hammock stand! How many other people are going to do that?

 

Set Up a Small Kitchen Area

Although your dorm room is small, you can make the most out of the space by creating mini rooms, like a small kitchen. Plus, it gives you a reason to decorate your mini-fridge and microwave!

 

Add a small cart beside your fridge, microwave and coffee pot to store food items. This keeps your dorm room cleaner and allows you to have a space set aside just for food items. Bring a piece of home with you by hanging art, to-do lists and photos on your fridge with magnets.

Decorate With Natural Elements

A great way to brighten up your dorm room is by adding plants. Plants provide you with some greenery, and if they flower, it’s added color to your room. Plus, these are decorations that will last you throughout college if you take care of them well.

 

To kick the natural decor up a notch, you can make a plant terrarium. Whether it sits on your windowsill or hangs from the ceiling, it will be super unique to your room!

Add Creative Lighting

There are so many ways to get creative with your lighting in your dorm room. You don’t have to just rely on those harsh overhead lights. Instead, string lights throughout your room to create a soft glow.

 

Also, you can get strip lights, which you can control from your bed using a remote. These lights change colors to set any mood you want, from studying to having a fun dance party with your roommates.

Craft Your Own Decor

When you craft your own decor, you can ensure no one else will have the same decorations in their dorms as you! Get out your creative side before heading off to college to make whatever embellishments you like.

 

You can paint canvases with beautiful backgrounds, knot together string for a macrame piece or even find a local artist to create something that captures your personality.

Bring a Touch of Home

Finally, an excellent way to personalize your dorm room is by bringing a touch of home. It will make your dorm room feel even more like home.

 

Whether you bring a few photos of your family and friends from back home to hang up or you bring your favorite childhood stuffed animal, it’ll make you feel comfortable moving into a new space. The little reminder of home can especially help you get through that first semester of college.

 

Make It “You”

The best thing you can do with your dorm room is to make it “you!” If you love the color yellow, create a yellow wonderland. If you love animals, decorate with your favorite photos of your pets. As you go throughout college, you’ll find what works for you when personalizing your dorm room.

Do’s and Don’ts to Remember while Making Step and Repeat Banners

Usage of step and repeat banners is a great way to give your brand a boost. As of late, event experiences have become so popular, and people want to share their pictures of themselves participating in such events. You may tap into their motivation and install your step and repeat banner with logo and message printed on it so people will use it to click their images on that background or videos.

Many providers are offering you various choices in step and repeat banners. You have many options to choose online and offline for custom step and repeat banner designing and printing. It is now much easier to explore the offers online and make the comparison instantly to identify the best providers and offers to get hold of one. However, there are a few things to know before you plan to make and install a step and repeat the choice banner.

Size the logo and message properly

Put across your logo noticeably on the step and repeat banner; however, without overpowering it. If the banner is meant to serve as the background of group photos, then you can make the logo larger to make it readable on wider shots. To be ideal, the logo can be printed at the sizes of about 9 to 11 inches in width and 5 to 7 inches in height.

Avoid a cheap finish

Make sure that the material you choose for your step and repeat banner is of superior quality. It is best to choose fabric material that is easy to transport and quick to install at the venue.  Also, make sure that your step and repeat  banner fixing is sturdy enough that it will not fall on someone. Do not opt for cheap material as people will not prefer to pose for a photograph in front of a step and repeat just for its sake.

Minimize glare

A glossy vinyl step and repeat may reflect the light and spoil the pictures. So, ensure proper lighting to reduce glare in the pictures. So, while choosing material and printing methods, make sure that you keep this anti-glare property in consideration. Vinyl banners also tend to wrinkle and crease over time, increasing the chances of glaring. So, fabric banners could also be a wise choice for step and repeat as these also do not reflect light and are wrinkle-free.

Set your imaginations free

There are no hard and fast rules while you plan for step and repeat banners. You may set your imagination free and develop any ideas to make your step and repeat look stunning. A little more creativity can give a pop to your brand and make it stand out in the crowd. Share your ideas with a professional designer who can also help you envision your imaginations in digital graphics for print.

Follow the guidelines mentioned above and make your step and repeat elegant so that you get your guests to want to share their pictures in your branded backdrop. That way, your brand value and logo reach to masses in minutes, and you get easy brand recognition.
