Monthly Life Update: August 2023 We planned a short trip to Wisconsin to see family in September. Zack has a work trip in Milwaukee and St. Louis, so I tagged onto the weekend.

My heart goes out to Hawaii. I was reminiscing about the trip my mom and I took last November. I was going to write up a travel post (and I had it scheduled), but then the news of the fires took over. I unscheduled the posts.

GOALS

I didn’t finish reading anything this month. I was working on Spare by Prince Harry, but my checkout expired and I didn’t get to finish it. That’s the only place I’m falling behind on; everything else has been fairly steady progress.

Read more about my 2023 Goals.

INFLUENCER

I only had one sale through The Real Real with an $11 payout to me. I had no Poshmark sales, which tells me that the app is not working for me at this time. I looked into why and several people mentioned that people are selling items super cheap on the Posh Shows feature. I am not using that so maybe my content is suppressed?

I made another $40 on the weSponsored app, but there wasn’t a lot of new campaigns posted (or at least I wasn’t selected for the ones I applied to).

I made two large orders from Abercrombie, but I won’t be able to use the content until September. I was looking for some fall staples. I mentioned that the commissions I made from the Nordstrom sale, but those ordered were returned and the commissions reversed on my account. I had one payout in August for $27.36.

LTK: August had 1010 clicks and $93.25 in open commissions.

BLOG

I spent a lot of time going through old posts, updating content, and adding in a plan for expanding content on Pinterest. I took a break at the end of the month because I’m planning a trip home the second weekend in September. And it good to take breaks!

Here’s what I shared on the blog this month:

FITNESS

My hip was hurting for a couple days this month and I ended up taking a week off. Then Zack broke the treadmill, so I was sidelined for a bit on my iFit workouts.

I completed the Great Outdoors Challenge both the running and the strength workouts.

I had purchased the extended warranty in January 2022 for only $119.06. I thought that I was purchasing something that would include a scheduled maintenance on the equipment, but that was not the case.

I got the information and Zack called to ask about fixing the treadmill. Customer Service asked for us to send a photo of the equipment. They shipped us a new controller and motor. The following week, a maintenance company reached out to us to schedule a service tech. Only the controller was replaced (the motor was fine).

I guess iFit removed the ability to review stats on the browser, which means that I cannot pull my total miles, hours or workouts for the month of August. Its forcing me to use the app which only gives the options of today, past 7 days, past 30 days and year to date. August is 31 days, so it doesn’t show me the entire month. I guess I can’t track my fitness anymore, ugh.

Manually pulled August 4-31 (past 30 days) is 24 workouts, 9 of them were strength or HIIT workouts when the treadmill was broken. Total miles is 21.11 and total time is 8:03:39.

XOXO,
Katie
