This post is a part of “Helping Me, Helping You”, a blogging series created to help new bloggers to be the best that they can be on their blogging space. You can find helpful tips, tools, real examples & experience plus downloadable worksheets that can help you achieve your blogging career.
Hello there love!
I promised to you in my first blogging series post “Where to find blog post ideas”, that I would go deeper into details on an Ideal Reader Profiles (aka Ideal persona), how to find them and why they are so important.
Before we get started today, you can grab the ideal reader profile worksheet from my Online Library if you haven’t done so yet, so we can all be on the same page. If you want to get right into the details, please skip the next two paragraphs. ?
Last week I took a few hours off from my Mommy job and went to a movie with my husband. These pictures I took in front of the movie theater and that made us late for the beginning. Lol! I’m really trying my best to make the best out of my time. So I had mentioned on my Instagram yesterday that I would let you know how the movie went. I have to be honest with you, I felt disappointed with the movie. Surprisingly, it’s one of the best rated and money-making movie right now on the box office chart, Blade Runner 2049. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I was expecting. Too much of a fantasy land that if teenagers (or any ages, really!) watch without parenting it could link them to a serious problem in their later lifestyle.
The movie showed too many nudity scenes with unnecessary reasons. (Duhh! It’s rated R, that’s what it’s supposed to be!) but I didn’t know before. So I don’t blame the movie but myself for not researching enough. I had read a few reviews out there thought and a lot of them said that this movie is very artsy and such beautifully created imagery. Most people are recommending to watch it. But still, it wasn’t what I prepared myself for. There was a lot of violence involved which I didn’t really enjoy much. The sound effects were too much at one point and I was thinking about getting up and leaving the theater. Overall I do not recommend this movie for teenagers and new moms. I found this “WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW” guide very helpful and straight to the point if you want to know what you should expect from the movie.
Already my love, now let’s get into our topic today “THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CREATE ACCURATE IDEAL READER (CUSTOMER) PROFILES FOR YOUR BLOG AND BUSINESS“.
When I started my ALL ABOUT GOOD VIBES blog it wasn’t right away that I really put my thoughts into who my readers were. The first few things that came up into my mind back then were, what should I name my blog and would the domain name sill available. Then I was worried about what platforms I should have my blog on, free vs paid. Not yet to get into who would I write to but instead, I was worried about no one would read my posts.
You can tell me the truth now, those were your biggest problems once you start thinking about becoming a blogger as well, am I right?
Frankly, I totally ignored this topic “ideal reader profile” and to build my confidence, I bought a few online courses. A lot of money had spent and I was happy with what I had to offer on my blog back then. I got a few free products offered as collaboration every now and then and I thought I was handling my blog just right.
As months went by, I completed some of the courses, but I still had the feeling of quitting. Why? The reason was my blog traffic. It was super low. Most of my readers were my friends and family and I think my mother in law visited my blog the most! Lol!? Thank you, Nadia! ❤️
What those courses did to me was to help me with my confidence issues plus I had a chance to connect with other new bloggers who started at the same time. Some of them I still have good relationships with until now. But what the courses didn’t do was teach me what are the most important keys that I should think about when it comes to creating my content. What are the keys to success? What is the content that makes my readers read, enjoy and stay? Something that makes them can’t wait for any longer for my new blog to be LIVE. I was struggling to be honest with you.
I did turn to Google and Google had helped me a lot. But as far as my blog stats went almost a year into my blogging, my monthly view was only a little bit below or over 1K. At one point I blogged 30 days in a row and my traffic went over 1K for a little bit and then went back down again.
Now it’s been 1 year and 4 months of my blogging journey and just two months ago my traffic started to spike up to over 800% higher compared to the same period last year. It was crazy at the rates I’m going, by the end of this year, I think it will raise up to 2000% better than last year. Next year will be 100x better and I can’t wait to hit that number. I will talk more about how exactly I did it, and what steps to take to get there on our next blogging series post in details. But don’t worry I’m going to tell you right now, what I did differently to attract more traffic. If you could guess it’s about creating your ideal reader profile.
You might have heard a lot about “Know your readers”. This phrase has been haunting me for a while because knowing your readers is as important as writing a good blog post. Why is it so important? Here are my answers:
Because you will know exactly who you’re talking to, you will be able to create your blog post with ease.
Be able to talk the same language as your readers.
You will make your post more connecting to your readers.
Your post will give value and it will benefit your readers the most.
If you’re looking to grow your blog, you know exactly where you should start.
But how can you know your readers when you can only look at your computer screen! That’s a great question! Should you guess it? Nope, that’s not the right way but it’s how a lot of people are doing. I put together some helpful questions that can help you craft your ideal reader profile on my worksheet (if you don’t have it yet, you can download the printable file from my online library) and we can go over each section together now.
Part one: Basic Information
In this part, you can make up the name, last name and how he/she looks. You can fill the gender and a specific age out of your original thoughts of the average age group of your readers. But to fill out the rest of your basic information I recommend using Facebook Audience Insights to answer your questions.
Start by creating your Facebook Ads account. After that go to Facebook Audience Insights and choose “Everyone on Facebook” when the “Choose an Audience to Start”, pops up on your screen.
From here you can find everything from creating your audience by adjusting the Location, Age and Gender, and Interest. This Audience Insights tool is a very powerful source to help you verify who your real readers are.
After you fill out the first section, we can move on to the next part of this worksheet, which is the “Short Introduction”.
Part two: Short Introduction
In this section, you will want to make a short introductory script of your ideal reader based on the Basis-Information you just filled out. Imagine introducing yourself to new classmates, co-workers or to some new people you’ve just met. A few sentences that will briefly describe who he/she is.
Part three: Personality
This is a challenging but fun part. Go back to your first part and look at the occupation of your ideal reader. Now use this infographic I found from www.truity.com to help guide you to the best answer.
You can also complete this section using the Astrological Zodiac Traits. You just have to pick the date of birth of your Ideal Reader randomly, use this chart below with the mix of the personality type infographic above to create the right personality.
Moving on to the fourth section. In this part, you can use this Free Social Media Statistics from www.socialbakers.com to help answer all of your questions. For example, if I want to know what my ideal reader’s favorite TV show is, I would use the “Facebook statistics directory” then I would choose the entertainment section. After that, I would select the country. The website will show the highest fans of the “T.V. SHOW” I ‘m trying to find out.
If you want to make sure you got the right information or not, you can useFacebook Audience Insights again and type the name of the Facebook page you got the results from www.socialbakers.comin the interest section. This way you will see all of the page statistics.
Part five: Dislike
In this section, you can guess it by yourself but I found this post from ranker.com helpful and fun to take a look at. You can adjust the listed order by gender, age, and region.
Part six: Interests
Similarweb is a good place to find your ideal reader interests. Based on your answers in part four, you can copy and place brands’ URLs. You can get insight statistics for free from Similarweb.
If you’re using Pinterest, make sure you switch from personal account to business account. This way you will be able to access statistic. You can see what areas people are interested in the most from your PINS. Pinterest will help with blog traffic as well. If you don’t have a blog yet but are planning to have one soon, create your PINTEREST account ASAP. This is the best time to start PINNING. You will be half way to your blogging goal before you even have a blog setup yet. I use TailwindApp to schedule my PINs, it is free to use for limited number of PINs. You can take a look at TailwindApp if you’re interested.
Now that you have all of the information you needed to put together an accurate ideal reader profile, it’s time to connect them together. I know it took a little bit of your time just to find all of the answers. Trust me, you will feel more connected and your blog posts will be even more helpful to a specific group of people. Not only that, you will have a more accurate Ideal Reader Profile that you’re just guessing who he/she is.
One last tip I would like to mention is to create your Ideal Reader Profiles on Pinterest. Create a few of them because you don’t want to have only one person in mind when it comes to a whole picture of your blog audience. You can keep your Pinterest boards “secret” that only you can see them. Mood boards will help you connect with your readers in a deeper level. It will be better than only writing down on a piece of paper. You can easily update your Ideal Reader Profiles on Pinterest when the trends change, season change or whenever you feel like it.
Here are a few Internet Stats Sources you might want to check out:
I hope today’s post gave you a lot of tools and insight tips to create your perfect Ideal Reader Profiles. Like I mentioned before that when you know your readers, your content will get better which means more website traffic and the best potential to gain your income from blogging.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I can’t wait to share with you how exactly I increased my blog traffic. See you soon, my love! Have a wonderful weekend. 🙂

“How to create your own apparel collection (women graphic tee) without breaking the bank”, is it possible?
Yes, it is my dear. Let me share with you today, my story on how I was able to create my own women graphic tee collection.
I was fortuned enough to be able to start my own t-shirt collection without having to investing a lot of money. As far as starting your own online clothing store, it isn’t easy peasy like you might had imagined. I know that you might know how much money it would cost to start a t-shirt collection on your own (a lot!) and how much time you would spend with each of the steps along the process (a long time!). You will need a business plan and a good amount of money to start up everything. If you’re new and don’t have that spare cash (I just talked about) to play around with, you are likely to put more stress into your business and life. The most headache part I would have to say is the inventory part. You will have to stock every size of your clothes in each design that you have no idea if they will even sell or not. Not only that, you will have to deal with shipping and many more areas to create a perfect business.
I remembered back in college during summer time, I spent all of my savings buying women clothes, renting a small space and started my very own tiny clothing store. So much money and energy I put in and since then, almost 10 years later, I still have some of the clothes that I couldn’t sell in my closet. I closed my shop after the summer was over. But that feeling of having my own clothing collection/ store is still with me until today. I don’t want you to repeat my same mistakes so I came up with today’s post to tell you how I was able to start my very own, first apparel collection with ease.
You will find this post helpful if you’re looking to start your own online clothing business for a while. But you don’t know where to start because you don’t have a lot of cash to build your business with. In today’s post, I will guide you through the process on how you can make your dream come true.
My blogger bestie, Milica from Madeofstarlight got me into the deal. I was introduced to a company called Threadsly. They offer a simple and elegant platform for building and growing your fashion brand. You can create your custom collection with a true design house experience. Communicate directly with a dedicated success team sourcing your perfect on-trend garments, producing retail grade screen printing, on-demand production and direct to customer shipping. I truly LOVE and am very grateful to have an opportunity to work with Threadsly. Thanks to Milica!
To get started, I had to make a phone appointment with one of the Threadsly team. In this process, you will learn about the steps and timeframe it will take to create a successful online shop. You can ask as many questions as you would like. After the phone call, you will receive an email that will direct you to the Threadsly dashboard where you can communicate with your assigned store manager who will help you along the process.
Below I have put together step by step what I went through to create my own women graphic tee collection.
How to create your own apparel collection
Step 1 Get Inspired & Find your style
The best way to find your style is to create a mood-board. Either go on Pinterest and create one or you can gather information like pictures and cool typography from magazines.
Step 2 Brainstorm Slogans or designs
After you know the direction of your designs, you can brainstorm the design of graphics that you want to make. Write the wording down, or draw your design out.
Step 3 Conduct a survey
Once you have a few designs drafted up, you can create a questionnaire to find out about your target buyers’ favorite designs and comfortable spending budget. You can send out emails or create an online survey on Facebook groups, where your target customer would hang out.
Step 4 Decide on Final design
Once you receive the survey results back, you can now see what’s the best design that interests your target buyers the most and what are the price points they feel comfortable with.
Step 5 Create final graphic
You can use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop or Canva to create your graphic. But if you don’t know how to start or don’t want to deal with designing at all, Threadsly can help you with your design.
Step 6 Pick your t shirt style
Define what style, color and type of garment you would like to put your graphic on.
Step 7
Create mock-up design
After you know your design and style of t-shirt, you can create style mock ups using Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop to see the positioning of graphic and see how your t-shirt will look like once the production process is done.
Step 8
Make Samples
Create samples of your collection, one for each design.
Step 9
Quality Check
Check how your designs turned out in real fabric. You should also check the size that if it’s loose fitted or true to size. This way you will know exactly how to describe it to your buyers. If something is wrong with the design you will be able to fix them before you start the production process.
Step 10
Product Photoshoot
Once your product is good to go you can start taking product shots using the samples you have created earlier. It can be flat-lay style, or model photoshoot type of thing.
Step 11
Create online store
Set up your online store with the help of Threadsly team. You will be able to see the cost, suggested prices, product pages where you can write your own description for each of your designs. Track your sales and many more features all in one place.
Step 12
Production
Since Threadsly is helping to take care of the production process, you don’t need to produce a big quantity of your products, no stocking and no spending on your part. They will produce your product once they receive orders.
Step 13
Launch
Attract customers by sending newsletters and advertising in different platforms. Offer discounts, special prices for a specific timeframe to boost your sales and get your name out on the market.
Step 14
Sell
Selling time, at this point your store will be ready to do its jobs. On the other hand, you can start promoting your collection and get ready to receive your income. Threadsly will help you manage your orders by receiving, producing, and delivering all of your orders.
Step 15
Delivery
Due to the nature of pre- order and made to order systems, your customer will receive products within 10 days after placing their order.
Step 16
After-sale survey
It’s a good idea to still keep in touch with your customers after they purchased your products. You can send them an email and ask a few quick questions on their shopping experience. This way you will know what can help you to develop and pay more attention on your new project.
If you’re interested in starting your project, you can consult with Threadsly team at no cost. Here’s the page that you can schedule a phone appointment. To learn more about Threadsly you can visit their website at Threadsly.com.
A little bit about my collection, “YOU”. The slogan “Honey, be yourself” had the most votes from my subscribers. It’s the perfect slogan that can help remind everyone that they should always be themselves. Because each of us were created to be different, to be original and we should be proud of who we are.
This women graphic tee collection has three different styles, minimal, retro and glamorous. I intended to make this collection for all of us women, who are unique in our own ways.
You can take a look at my collection and grab your “YOU” Tee this way.
? Note to Influencers: If you’re a blogger/ Instagrammer and want to collab with me in this tee collection, please email me at Blogger@allaboutgoodvibes.com and please put your email subject as Tee Collab with (your name/ blog or Instagram account). I’m looking forward to working with you! ?
I hope you find my post helpful and by now you should know the step by step process on how to create your apparel collection with less, (less stress & less money). If you have any specific questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below. You can DM me through Instagram @thevibescloset or email me at hello@allaboutgoodvibes.com.

Inspiring sources for your next (first!) blog content to attract the right ideal readers (you’re going to create!)
Lately I’ve been book shopping like never before in my life. Last week alone I bought 8 books. I pretty much stopped shopping for clothes, makeup and my other usual stuff. I am now a BOOK -A- HOLIC. Since books have become so helpful and inspiring when it comes to blogging, I’m going talk about BOOKS today and the relationship it has with new blog post ideas.
Sometimes it’s so hard to come up with new ideas for your next blog post. Something that will get good attention from your real readers. Even though, you’re trying hard to figure out about the topics all day at work, during lunch break, during a car ride back home or even when you are meditating as opposed to clearing your mind. Oops!
Still blank! So you texted your best friend, Jessica, and complained to her “I don’t know what to write about on my blog. I think I’m going to stop for a while.” Even though Jessica isn’t a blogger, she’s definitely a good friend. So she calmed you down and told you to go to sleep. She said you will figure it out when you wake up. She also reminded you that “you don’t give up on your dreams.” Thanks Jessica!
Before going to bed, you probably find yourself googling for something like these:
What to write on my blog?
Interesting Blog Topics
Blog Topic Lists
Fun Blog Ideas
Blog Topic Ideas
Blog Post Ideas
Some sorts of the above and Voila! You found this blog post. ?
Today I am going to share with you where I get my inspiration from plus some inspiration tips from my favorite bloggers and Instagrammers. I bet you probably know some of them from your Instagram feed. Read all the advice and you will know exactly how to stay on top of your blog post idea bank.
Not only that, today I will help you create your ideal reader profile. A must have in mind person that you will need him or her before you start writing your new post.
Let’s start with the inspiration sources first! Shall we?
For me I find my inspiration through books. When I found something that’s interesting, inspiring and I think my reader could learn something new from it, I would then incorporate them into my post.
Some of my blog content comes from my curiosity as well. If I have questions about something, I would write them down. I would then try to find answers but instead of keeping those answers to myself, I would turn that question into a blog post. Because if I’m curious about something, other people might have the same questions that need answers.
Pinterest and Instagram are always my go to sources for new projects. I can get a lot of ‘How- to’ posts out of looking at pretty pictures. These are my common sources of where my blog post ideas are from.
Now let’s take a look at what other bloggers say about how they came up with their blog post ideas. I asked a few of my favorite bloggers “Where do you find inspirations for your blog posts?”and below are their answers.
For me inspiration comes from how I’m feeling at that time, I always have a million ideas or opinions I’d like to share with my followers normally to try and inspire, uplift or motivate them! I sometimes find inspiration from songs or a conversation I’ve had with my friends etc.
Fashion blog posts are a little different, I try and stay true to my style when it comes to writing about different trends etc so I always put myself in the viewers seat and if they would think ‘Yeah that’s Lauren’ then I know I’m on the right track, if that makes sense?
My inspiration comes from my fashion and beauty experiences I’ve had myself, from testing out beauty clinics and writing about my time there and how I found it. Also visiting hairdressers and reviewing them for my followers so they know whether to go there or not. Another thing that influences my blog posts are the seasons, whether it’s summer or Christmas time my followers want to know what the latest trends are, how I’m wearing them and how they can wear them themselves. 🙂
Since I write about blogging and working with brand strategies from a PR perspective, I get a lot of inspiration from my industry. Meaning that I’m constantly reading articles, Linked in updates, listening to podcasts etc.
For example, sometimes I get in a rut of thinking of new, valuable content for my readers…so I’ll take an hour or two in the morning to listen to the Gary Vee marketing podcast, The Influencer Podcast, or I’ll go read Adweek, one of the leading advertising and marketing publications.
Also, I try to ask for feedback from my readers all the time. I want them to reply back to my email newsletters, DM me PR questions on Instagram, and I even make Typeforms for them to fill out with content they want to see.
I do my best to create content that answers to their questions in the most specific, and actionable way possible.
Explore your city by trying out new restaurants, coffee shops and different areas that you have never been to before. You can gain inspiration from fellow bloggers too. Also, pick up some new magazines in and out of your niche. If you find yourself burned out, try taking a blogging break to clear your mind so you can get inspired again.
Read more of her thoughts from her original post here.
Since the launch of Style Charade, my goal has always been to remain authentic to my personal aesthetic. It’s easy to find inspiration in the world these days – through social media images, films, literature, fashion, art, etc. I love being a sponge to the world, but I also believe in remaining laser-focused on my vision. In the end, color and positivity are the DNA of my blog. Murals and street art have been at the core of Style Charade since its inception, and I’m so thankful to be able to share my point of view with my readers every day.
Below are the advice from Instagrammers who were featured in “Read This If You Want To Be Instagram Famous.” Book by Henry Carroll (Editor). I read this book and it was so inspirational to me that I decided to write this blog post.
Focus on a subject or style that you love, but within that, research it using everything you can get your hands on. Visit museums, watch films, read books, look at the work of designers, photographers and artists- not just living, but historical too.
I look to follow people who do things I’m not capable of, so I can learn from them. This source of inspiration helps you stay motivated and gives you ideas for what to shoot and where to go next. It’s also very important to find inspiration beyond the app. Go to galleries, bookstores and performances. This will expose you to different forms of creativity and allow you to bring something fresh to Instagram.
You can find inspiration in lots of things, such as music, an overheard comment or moment of fleeting beauty.

You can see that inspiration for your blog post can pretty much come from anything.
But your idea and new post won’t get far unless you deliver your content to the right people. To help you get ahead of your blogging game, I have created an ideal reader profile worksheet for you to fill out. This will help you when writing your next post. And even if you are just starting out and don’t know your audience yet, you will definitely get some big benefits out of this worksheet.
I know your time is valuable and writing blog post that no one will read isn’t an option. Next week I will go deeper into details on an Ideal Reader Profile (aka Ideal persona), how to find them and why they are so important.
Now, you can go to my Online Library and download the worksheet, fill it out in advance and I’ll be back soon to help you even more.
I hope this post helped you get some more ideas when thinking about your next blog post. No more asking Jessica and stressing out, take a few of these ideas and try them out. Let me know in the comments below where you find your blog post ideas.
Special thanks to all the bloggers who have contributed in this post. 🙂

“No matter what the situation, remind yourself “I have a choice.” – Deepak Chopra
When it comes to date nights, it doesn’t always have to be something super expensive. Like going out for dinner at a five – start restaurant and spending a lot of money on food. Since food is not the only cost we spend for us ladies, we also love to look perfect to impress our date. So we have to spend our money on new clothes, makeup, perfume and many other accessories. Oh, well! To help reduce all of those unnecessary cost, I’m sharing with you today “Five Cheap Date Night Ideas” that you can try for your next night out with your special one.
The Five Cheap Date Night Ideas I’m going to share with you today, are something that my husband and I really love to do. Something that is practical and actually works. I know you will enjoy them too.
But before we get into our topic today, I have one new store I want to introduce you to. They sent their ring as a gift to me as a part of collaboration. They wanted me to try their jewelry and if I liked it I could introduce them to all of you. And yes, I love their gorgeous ring so I would like to talk about them a little bit in this post, as always my opinions are 100% my own.
Here is the ring I got as a a gift from Fascinating Diamonds. It’s so beautiful, delicate and it’s a perfect ring for a special event.
It’s a two stone Emerald and round ring made with white Cubic Zirconia in sterling silver. At Fascinating Diamonds, they give the complete flexibility to design your own ring at the most affordable price. But they also have a variety of diamond jewelry for you to choose from.
And because diamond is a gem stone for the 10th Anniversary, I’m hinting to my husband (if he’s reading!) to shop here for our anniversary gift, something like this diamond ring with a few carats centered stone. Lol! 🙂 Better save up, honey!
If you decide to shop for your next diamond jewelry piece at Fascinating Diamonds, you can use code “AUGUSTINFLUENCERS10” for a 10% discount off your purchase on the entire range of diamond jewelry. What a great deal!
Now let’s get into our Five Cheap Date Night Ideas, shall we?
Cooking Date
Starting with one of my favorite date night ideas, a cooking date. This is one of my first date nights with my now husband. The best advice for a cooking date is to plane it together. Pick out the menu that both of you like and then try to make the meal together. This will be a fun mini project and to see if you are a team or not. If you both can’t cook that’s okay. You can hop online and get some recipes real quick. Or watch a youtube videos also helps. You just have to make sure that the recipes are from a trusted source. My husband loves to watch Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver. Their food always looks and tastes amazing.
Movie Night
Picking the newest released movie from Amazon Video and watching it at your own place is another great idea. You can sit on your comfortable couch, talk as loud as you want and pause the movie when you have to use a bathroom. Not only that but you can make your food or snack and enjoy them right in front of your own screen. Get as cozy as you want by bringing your blanket out. The best part of all, you don’t need to worry about someone sneezes during the movie and the long lines at the theater.
Window Shopping
I love, love window shopping. It’s a good way to connect with your date in a fashion aspect. You don’t need to buy anything and you should tell your date that he or she doesn’t have to get you anything either. It’s just a fun way to get to know each others tastes. Knowing what the likes and dislikes are when it comes to fashion is key here. You will also get a lot of inspirations from walking around. To make it a more interesting date night, you can pick the mall that you both have never been before. So you both can now create new experiences together.
Go For A Walk
This is the the healthiest idea of all. It’s a good way to get both of your exercises in and to be able to walk and talk. You will have a chance to put on your cute workout clothes. It’s the best time that both of you can connect and talk about what you have on your mind. You will also connect with nature, soak up the sun and listen to the birds chirping. It sounds like a perfect date. As research shows that walking can help improve your mood, reduce anger and hostility so it’s definitely the healthiest way out of all five ideas I’m taking about today. If you’re both very competitive, you can change from a walk to jog or run. And don’t forget to have fun!
Facial Retreat
This will be the most fun and relaxing date night. The best part is you can use what you have in your kitchen to make the best out of this spa experience. For example, you can use yogurt or eggs and use it as a face mask. If you want to get a little bit more advanced, you can mix strawberries, honey and yogurt together with a few drops of essential oils for your face mask to feel more like at the spa. If you want to make a scrub, you can add sugar or salt in it. Spa nights are so much fun because you can see each others faces covered with the masks, making funny looking faces than you normally see. Trust me, you will laugh at each other like crazy. ?
Don’t forget to turn the relaxing music on. Just to make this night the most fun and relaxing date night ever at your own place. By the way, you can also get some good face masks from Sephora, Ulta or from your favorite beauty shop if you want to save time from making the mask yourself.
What do you think about my date night ideas? I hope you enjoyed reading and at this point should have some more date night ideas for your next date. They are all budget friendly or no budget involve at all. All you have to do is have a great time together with your special one.
Thank you for stopping by All About Good Vibes today. Have a wonderful day, love!
