7 Things I Have Learned Being in Texas 1 Month

dallas fashion blogger, candace hampton

Hey beauties! As you all know, I relocated to Dallas about a month ago and as expected, it’s been a blast. Some people who move to TX from LA call it culture shock, but I see it as a good thing. Some people even move back to LA, which I can’t understand to save my life. Why go back to such a corrupted place?!

In being here, I have learned a few things about myself that I wanted to share, and to also switch up my regular “OOTD” posting without saying much else…haha.

5) There are so many more fashion bloggers in Dallas and TX in general, and they’re all actually friendly.

    So great that you’ve learned so much from Texas and that the F-bloggers are nice 🙂 It’s a lot more fun when you can see eachother as collegues/friends instead of enemies. Never been in Texas, but maybe one day… Also love the deets on your legging.

    I’m glad you wrote this post because I think it’s important to evaluate and self reflect especially if there’s a significant change in your life like a move. It sounds like you’re adjusting well so I’m glad Texas is treating you right!

    It’s so interesting to hear about the different things you’ve learned living in Texas for 1 month! I actually learned a lot too after moving from LA to Palm Springs. Even though it’s only 2 hours away, I feel like the two cities are SO different. Just like you, I experienced MAJOR culture shock. Everyone in PS is so laid back (well, and retired lol) while everyone in LA is always hustling and bustling and only thinking about themselves (for the most part). Overall, I’m happy with my move. LA is a great place to visit but not to live in. I’m glad to hear that you are adjusting well so far to your new home! xo, sharon

    Cool post. I know a few people contemplating moving to Texas, and I will share this with them. Everything is really all about perception. If you don’t like being in a place, you won’t like anything about it. But if you love being in a place, you’ll see the good in everything. Although Louisiana is behind in a lot of rhings, I absolutely love New Orleans and feel like I’m in a whole other world. Life is what you make it.

  6. Hey Dear,
    How you?
    I am happy that you learned many things and You are Happy in Texas because this is what matters:)

    It’s been a long time since I have not visit Texas but I heard the same thing theres a cultural shock of people moving there that are from a big popular city like LA or NY. I still think is very beautiful and cant wait to visit it again. Now I have a good excuse to come since you are there 🙂

  9. I’m so happy that you are already very well-situated in Texas 🙂 I’ve had Texas BBQ and it was amazingggg!! I don’t really know what the blogging situation is like in LA, but it’s great you’ve already met some awesome bloggers in your area. Anyways, I hope I get a chance to meet you one day, as I have relatives that live in Dallas!

    Carbon38 is one of my favorite workout brands. Their material is super nice and I love their unique and intricate details that makes the whole athleisure look so much more interesting. Glad that you are loving and settling in Texas, I think everyone has their sweet spot when it comes to living and working. I am a cali girl through and through. While I love the hustle and bustle of NYC, I need my sunshine and palm trees and beaches.

    First of all let me say that you totally slay this Carbon38 athleisure look. I enjoyed your post so much, as I’m interested in knowing more about the US. It really looks like moving to Texas has improved the quality of your life and your morale in general! 8 hrs to get your driving licence is crazy anywhere! I would compare Italian bloggers to bloggers in Louisiana. It’s hard to survive if you’re not like them, but you did and I will (since I’ve no intention of moving right now). Lots of love, Valeria
