Before They Were Bloggers…Guess These DIY Faces Contest!

What a FUN contest I have for you today! It is quite embarrassing but we are all adults right? haha. Check out all of these way awkward photos from our younger days and see if you can recognize your favorite bloggers.  These are the pictures I try and block out of my memory, and apparently my mom too because she had to look 3 times to find me! hahaha.

Let’s take a ride in that DeLorean parked outside and go back in time. Back to a time before there was Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter. Before chevrons, mercury glass and ombré were hot. And most importantly, before there were blogs!

We’re going back to when these DIY gals were worrying about how high they could get their hair, was there food in their braces and oh no…not another zit! Talking on the phone for hours meant stretching that long spiral cord beyond its limits and tying up the only phone in the house. Common purchases for these DIY gals may have been the latest cassette tape, neon bracelets, a swatch watch and a tube of clearasil. You wouldn’t catch them dead in the hardware store, totally unheard of to the max!

Are you there yet? Do you see leg warmers or jelly sandals? You’re getting closer…the time machine has stopped so step out of your DeLorean and behold…the time before blogs:

Do you recognize any of these popular DIY bloggers? I don’t know how “popular” they were back then. Do you think you could recognize them in High School, Middle School or Elementary School? For sure!

These awkward youngsters will one day be the brains behind your favorite DIY blogs. And they are giving a $300 Lowe’s Gift Card to the first person who can guess which faces match with which DIY blogs.

🔑 The secret to growth isn’t what you think i 🔑 The secret to growth isn’t what you think it is.

It’s not about hustling harder or chasing validation.

It’s not about overnight success or quick wins.

Real growth happens when you stay consistent, stay aligned with your purpose, and trust that the right things will fall into place.

✨ “What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.” – Gretchen Rubin

So, what’s the secret to real growth?

It’s showing up for yourself with purpose, trusting the process, and focusing on what truly matters.💕

💬 Let’s focus on growth that lasts. What’s one way you’re embracing growth this season? Share it below. 💛
