I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record but May? MAY. We’re over a third of the way through 2019 already and I swear the meltdown of New Years Eve 2000 was only 2 years ago? (Seriously though, who remembers that?) I hope you all had a lovely Easter, ate far too many …
AD | Not long ago, we had International Women’s Day and whilst it was a great day filled with positivity, you definitely don’t need one single day to express your admiration for women who you look up to. This industry has introduced me to an abundance of inspiration women all over the globe. Most of …
AD | Another month and another advertisers post is upon us. It’s crazy how quickly it comes around to me writing another one of these posts when it feels like the previous one has only just been published! I hope you all had a lovely February and enjoyed Valentine’s Day, for those that celebrate it! …
Can you quite believe we’re in December already? It’s utter madness, I still remember last Christmas like it was yesterday. Well with a new month comes a new set of advertisers and I have an absolutely glorious bunch for you to round off the year with! So grab a cuppa and a mince pie and …
Last month, I introduced monthly advertisers back on my blog after a long few years away from it. I’ve been so thrilled with the interest in these new packages and have thoroughly enjoyed having some lovely bloggers back in my sidebar and also the return of my monthly “meet the advertisers” posts. So due to …
I want to talk about something. Something which has become more and more prominent in the blogging world over the last few years. At least for me anyway – it’s probably been like this for far longer but perhaps I haven’t been paying attention. It’s something I see almost on a daily basis; on Twitter …
We’re all aware of the fact that social media doesn’t always necessarily give us an accurate portrayal into someone’s life. We’ve all been that person to swoon and lust after someone else’s Instagram only to be reminded by some wise Pinterest quote that we’re only seeing their highlight reel – not their every day. It …
I’ve offered advertising packages on my blog plenty of times before but each and every time, something didn’t feel quite right. I wasn’t particularly enjoying it, I didn’t know if it was make much of a difference to anyone and to be perfectly honest, I don’t think my blog was really in a position to …
There’s been a bit of talk around the blogosphere this year about how more bloggers have started blogging for bloggers (prepare to hear the word “bloggers” a lot in this post…) instead of just writing about what we love; be that books, films, make up, fashion – whatever. Blogging for bloggers means (at least this …
I absolutely love working with brands on my blog; it’s something that I never thought I’d see happen for me but alas, after years of hard work, it did and now it’s one of my favourite aspects of blogging! Of course it doesn’t come without it’s stresses, like invoices not being paid on time, rude …
Working with brands is one of my favourite things about blogging and I’ll always be grateful that brands want to work with me, pay me or send me stuff. I don’t think I’ll ever, ever, ever take that for granted because in all honesty, I’m still gobsmacked that I’m even in the position for this …
I read a blog post the other day… And I didn’t like it. And I didn’t like some of the things which were said. I won’t name and shame and this isn’t a “reaction” type post; I don’t think I’d ever go through the effort of doing one of those. But it did prompt me …
In case you didn’t notice or didn’t see me tweeting about the fact I was blogging every day in July – I blogged every day in July! Did you hear? I’ve blogged every day in a month once before and that was last October for Blogtober. And afterwards, I vowed I’d never do it again. …
I’ve taken quite a liking to doing these “Award Tag” posts but actually using them for something else: helping to promote and recognise smaller bloggers in the industry. These chain awards were designed to help small and/or new bloggers to connect and recognise each other for their brilliant work and whilst I’m either small nor …
