My favourite type of blog posts to write about those that are about blogging itself. Some might say that I’m hurting my viewership by blogging mostly about blogging related subjects because 100% of my readers aren’t going to be bloggers themselves. And that’s true, they’re not. But the majority of them are and blogging is …
I’ve done plenty of ‘blog post ideas’ posts before; Winter & Christmas, Autumn and Spring & Summer and these posts always tend to go down really well. We all struggle with blogging motivation and inspiration and sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we cannot come up with an idea for a blog post for …
It might feel like 2018 has only just started but we’re going to be well into Spring before we know it! Although my favourite season is Winter (I luuuuurve the cold), I do love Spring and all the little wonders that come with it. Hot Cross Buns for breakfast, baby animals, the smell in the …
Don’t get me wrong, I go through huge blogging inspiration slumps sometimes where I literally wouldn’t be able to think of an idea for a post if my actual life depended on it. I think we all go through these phases, for a bunch of reasons and it’s totes normal and doesn’t make you a …
Back in July (goodness me that seems like ages ago now, doesn’t it? Where has this year gone?) I wrote a “25 Autumn blog post ideas” post which went down really well and I really enjoyed writing and brainstorming for. Sooooo… Now we’re in arguably the prettiest and most magical season (Winter, for those who …
Anyone that knows me knows that I freaking hate summer. I hate it. I hate it I hate it I hate it with a roaring passion. The heat; nope. The bugs; nope. The hay fever; nope. All of it is just a big fat nope from me. My favourite time of the year is Autumn, …
Although we all start by saying we’re “writing for ourselves”, I’m sure most of us WANT people to read our content. Blogging is all about creation, sharing and connecting. If you’re shouting into the void, then none of that is being fulfilled. I’m at the stage where I thoroughly enjoy writing for my audience. It …
Throughout the entire month of July, I used stock images on my blog. I didn’t advertise it, I kinda just did it as a mini-experiment to see if it would affect anything like views or followers *pssst, it didn’t*. And I’ll let you in to a secret. I hate taking blog photos. Loathe it. Despise …
AD | Running a business, being your own boss and working for yourself isn’t reserved for just a select amount of people any more. Being online gives us the freedom and range to be able to start our own businesses easier than ever before. And it’s not just a pipe dream but a reality for …
GIFTED | You can know someone like the back of your hand but that doesn’t always mean buying gifts for them is easy! My Mum is always easy to buy for. We have very similar taste in most things. My Dad is a bit of a pain because he never wants or needs anything. And …
Sponsored | I’m a huge fan of staycations. In fact, I haven’t been abroad in a good number of years now. Of course I’d like to (anxiety permitting) but I’m thoroughly enjoying exploring the UK and what it has to offer. There is so much variety. So much to see and do and some real …
Your content is the heart of your blog. But the online world moves at such a fast pace, it can be difficult to keep up. Over 2 years ago now, I started to actually take my blog seriously. I really knuckled down with my content, what types of posts I was writing and formatting a …
Spring is fast approaching. At the time of writing this post (20th February) we’ve been graced with a beautiful day of 16 degrees, blue skies and gorgeous sun. I’ve taken a lovely little stroll with the dog around a lake near my house, trying to ignore the fact that we only have this weather due …
AD | It’s never too early to start thinking about special occasions, in my opinion (I saw someone mention a Christmas in July related event on Twitter the other day, true story) and I love planning ahead and being organised as much as possible so when these things do roll around, you’re not left scrambling …
