The Skinny Confidential launched today three years ago.
Crazy, right?
In September 2011 I found my voice/creativity on the Internet.
Fast forward to today…& I’m doing what I love.
Life’s funny that way. But cool, funny. Not weird, funny.
Anyway, these Sprinkles cupcakes were a sweet way to celebrate the day:
{ TSC’s birthday! }
This AM I kind of got all nostalgic & reflected on TSConf. Truthfully I feel like I’ve worked seven days a week for the past three years…but the funny thing is I don’t care at all because I’m passionate about writing, blogging, photography, creating, editing, cooking, & web design…& of course, you guys ( der )! Tomorrow I’m launching something special to celebrate— so stay tuned.
Today’s tidbit of advice: don’t work a job that you hate because ‘you have to.’ Do what lights your fire, gets you going, tickles your fancy. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do…so today’s the day! Create your space in the world. Create your job. Create your life.
If you don’t, no one else is going to do it for ya.
Ok, that’s it…I’m literally falling asleep at the comp.
Also, thank you for all the kindness today on Instagram! Lotsa love, x Lauryn

Happy Anniversary!!! Look at all you have done in just three years, a book, a business, collabs etc you are a true gem! I started teaching my fusion method awhile ago and picking out the playlists and sharing my passion has been the most rewarding thing ever! All my love to you and cheers to many more years of growth + success!
Thank you so much for being such an amazing reader, Courtney!
That’s so awesome. Congratulations!

Thank you, Angela!
Wow! You’ve accomplished so much in three years on TSC. I love your completely unique online voice and presence and appreciate all that you share. My blog has been around in its form for several months and it’s nearly time for a redesign … perhaps I’ll contact you about Blog-Doo. Have a good one! Those cupcakes look delish:)
Happy blogiversary! All three of us are so happy you created TSC – it’s our daily read and may or may not have influenced about a zillion recipes, beauty inspirations and decor obsessions, lol! XO, Sarah

Wishing you a very happy and sweet, cupcake-filled Blogiversary! I only started reading your blog this year, but instantly fell in love. It’s even a far cry from most blogs I tend to lead towards reading: I’m a healthy living and food/recipe blogger so that’s generally what I gravitate towards. But I couldn’t help but also gravitate towards not only your helpful nutrition and health tips but also your women empowerment posts, your strong realist and openly honest posts, and your fashion inspirations. Thank you!
Thank you so much! This made my day!! : )
Congrats!! Really amazing how far TSC has come. Those arrows are super pretty and the cupcakes.. yummy.
Happy Blogiversary! Love the kitchen wall design too xo
Thanks Zoe!
Congrats on your blogiversary, I’ve been an avid reader for all 3 years!
By the way – The Rules of Attraction is AMAZING, love all of Bret Easton Ellis’s novels
