new year, new beginnings.

Hey ya’ll, long time no see!

Firstly, I want to acknowledge the fact that I haven’t posted since June (yikes). The summer got so chaotic, and before I knew it, I was already back in Dallas going through SMU rush for the first time as a Pi Phi! This past semester has been nothing like last fall. Whereas last year I was learning how to live independently in a brand new state, I now feel so settled and can happily say Dallas feels like my new home. I’ve met the most incredible people here, moved into my first apartment, and may or may not have competed in a pageant or two ;)

I have such a great feeling about 2025, and I am beyond excited to share everything in that’s in store with you. I have a HUGE announcement coming this Monday, so make sure to keep up with me on IG @ scarlettbarnettt. Also — this is the year I start posting on YouTube! I can’t wait to share the more personal details of my life with ya’ll, and I think this could be a super fun way to spread more of my message. Annnd of course, don’t think I forgot about blogging! I’ll be posting at least once a week on here so prepare to be sick of me. Feel free to shoot over a DM or send me an email in the contact section below with the kind of content you’d like to see this year!

Speaking of my message, I figure that many of you may not know why I started this blog in the first place or maybe you’re new here and just wanna learn a little more about me! To make a long story short, after experiencing bullying both online and in person throughout middle and high school, I aim to turn the pain I endured into purposeful and intentional connection with others who have struggled or are struggling with the same things I went through. When I think back to what I needed most, I recognize my loneliness during those hard times and never want anybody else to know what that’s like. I hope to be an online big sister to girls all over the globe and spread my message of spreading love, kindness, and resilience. Over the years, this blog has become so much more than I ever imagined. From sharing fashion and beauty tips to opening up about my personal struggles, my hope is that every post leaves you feeling empowered and ready to take on whatever comes your way. Whether it's finding the courage to chase your dreams, embracing your imperfections, or simply trying out a new article of clothing you never thought you’d be confident enough to wear out of the house, I’m here to cheer you on!

With that being said, thank you for sticking with me on this journey. Your support means the absolute world, and I wouldn’t be here without each and every one of you. Let’s make this year a great one together!

With all the love,

Scarlett
