Hi everyone, how are you? It's been a while since the last post, and I've missed you so much! I'm glad to be back with this post because today, we're setting the right mood for September and the upcoming months. I always feel that September is the new January, a more powerful moment to set new goals, plan for the future, and find new dreams. Maybe it's related to when I was in school, but September has a superpower for me, and I'm ready for the next steps. And you? 

Let's catch up

Before reaching the following goals and plans, I wanted to briefly catch up with you. This summer has been one of the best of my life. 

Finally, Branding with Martina is online. It's a new platform on the website for everyone who wants to create a personal brand and/or start creating content seriously. There are free resources and courses to learn new skills, tools to manage your personal brand and business, and the chance to work directly with me on your project. Branding with Martina is my biggest project, and I'm proud of the final product. I hope you'll love it as much. 

On a more personal side, this summer, I got engaged to my boyfriend, who is also my absolute best friend, supporter, and the love of my life. I'm over the moon and have already started planning for the wedding. If you have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments below because I don't know anything about wedding planning! 

Last but not least, some news about the blog side of martinamanca.com. The usual two posts per week are confirmed, Monday for fashion and Thursday for lifestyle. I'm thinking of posting something more related to Branding with Martina, so content creation and online branding-related blog posts. If you are interested, please let me know what kind of content you would love to read about. 

September goals

Every month I set some goals for different areas of my life to feel focused and plan my days toward them. So, I thought to put my September goals with you in today's blog post. 

Life goals: I've already started working out consistently, and I want to keep going on this path, mixing different workouts and listening to my body. So, my goal is to train at least 5 times per week except for my period week, which is the hardest. Then, I want to keep taking care of myself with my rosemary oil for the hair scalp, my Elizabeth Arden body cream, and my Shampora products. I apply the body cream daily after the shower, and my skin is glowing! I'm still figuring out a routine with the rosemary oil, but as soon as I understand what works best for me, I will share every detail with you. Last but not least, I want to enjoy every weekend to the best possibilities. I'm struggling with some Sunday blues, and I want to focus on the present, enjoy my free time every week, and put in the best energy in the world. 

Work goals: I can share with you only the work goals related to this website. My corporate job has to stay confidential. So, I'm working to grow the website analytics by 20%. The website is growing monthly, and I'm so proud of it and thankful for your support. Then I want to improve Instagram performance in terms of content and story views. The goal is to improve them by 20%. Last but not least, I see you're sending the newsletter form, but you're not confirming your email. So, maybe, I need to change something in that sense. For the newsletter, the goal is to grow the subscribers by 20%. 

Bonus goal: I want to complete the Hubspot course I'm following. Of course, you can find the link to Hubspot on Branding with Martina. 

Moodboard

As you might have seen, martinamanca.com has a moodboard for everything. I know you love a great vision board, so I planned the new homepage around it. Mine has changed in some way, but for September, this would be my moodboard. Love, self-care, fashion, and blog.

Have a wonderful weekend! xx
