5 Random Facts About Me

I have realised that it’s been a while since I shared some random facts about me on my blog. It’s very rare that I share personal things about myself on here, and I really want to start doing it more often. Being a blogger can be hard sometimes, finding the fine line between inviting people into your life and oversharing. I am quite a private person, and only share private parts of my life with a select few. But, I want to get to know my audience (you!) better!

Todays post will be short and sweet, but hopefully a conversation starter for us all to get to know each other that little bit more!

We All Wear Masks – How To Be Authentic

We All Wear Masks – How To Be Authentic

How to be authentic. I was scrolling through TikTok the other night [as I do most nights] & I came across a video of someone contemplating the idea that if we look at everyone’s lives as individual story books, the characters we are portrayed in said books will look different to each person. We could be the one who got away in one story while we could be the evil villian in another. How we are perceived tends to be different than how we really are. We all wear masks. And this isn’t trying to be some metaphorical pandemic controversial statement. We’ve always been wearing masks. Before, they were just more invisible.

How to Effectively Manage Your Finances

How to Effectively Manage Your Finances

From a very young age, it’s so important that you learn how to manage your finances. Having money is a really big responsibility. It’s sad that alot of parents and schools fail to provide young people with the knowledge they need to learn how to properly manage their finances. It’s obviously not something you have to worry about as a young adult, but as soon as you get a job you need to know how to do it.

Showing Your True Emotions is Okay & Here Is Why

Showing Your True Emotions is Okay & Here Is Why

Being quiet is not always a good idea, showing your true emotions is. Nobody knows how you feel if you don’t speak for yourself. As Johnny Depp said, “People who cry are not weak. They are just tired of being strong.” If you cry, you’re not a kid. If you get angry, you’re not a psycho. If you are sorry for something then you’re not a loser. Expressing your true emotions is not at all wrong.

How The Pandemic Has Changed Me

I think most of us can agree, that alot has changed in the last year. Not only have our lives been flipped upside down, but I am sure many of us have deal with grief, depression and anxiety and so many other things. The last year has been such a struggle in many ways. Being isolated from our loved ones and having our daily routines thrown away. Having to adjust to our new normal has been a challenge.

A Mental Health Catch Up

A Mental Health Catch Up

Periodically, I love to have mental health catch ups in my real life. Having friends I can message and family I can turn to when I’m not feeling my best really helps so much. I was sat thinking about this, and then slowly came to the realisation that so many people don’t have those friends or family members to lean on in hard times. Don’t get me wrong, I never ever take it for granted, but this realisation made me appreciate those in my life a little bit more.

How To Get Your Creative Mojo Back

Whether you are a writer, blogger, artist, musician or anything creative, it can be hard when you feel like you have lost your creative mojo. There have been so many times during my artistic and blogging journey where I have felt like I don’t want to create. I think it would almost be impossible for us to all to keep going and going without any break at all.

4 Things To Do Before You Rent a House

As many of you know, I am currently on my journey in moving home and looking into how you rent a house. It’s not one of the easiest things I have ever started to do. The real estate market is really competitive and expensive at the moment. Alot of the prices of homes are increasing every day, and the demand for homes is higher than it’s ever been. Which means, people like me are struggling to find somewhere they like and can afford.

How I Gained 4 Thousand Blog Followers In a Year

When I first started my blog, I never knew that I would ever gain 4 thousand blog followers let alone do it in under a year. If you have been around since Olivia Lucie Blake started in July 2020, you’d have seen how hard I worked and how fast my blog really took off. I came back to blogging with no expectations. And truly, I believe thats how things work out. If you go into something with no expectations you can’t be let down if they are not met.
