Ten Blog Awards in One

Ten Blog Awards in One

Thank you thank you thank you thank you to all that have nominated me for a blog award! I got so many awards this week it was impossible to post them all individually so I decided to do a collective post of them all.

I really appreciate the fact that I got nominated for all of these awards. When I started blogging in 2015 i had really made no connections with people or even tried to. I got low interactions and low traffic because it didn’t even cross my mind i’d need to interact with other bloggers to grow. I’m so thankful and glad to have met so many lovely people. And I love that we get to share our blogging journeys together!

Just for info, it would be impossible to answer all questions in one post, so I’m going to say thank you to those that nominated me and leave links to their blogs instead. I think showing some blogger love back to you all is needed!

4 Things to Do Instead of Comparing Yourself to Others

Whether you want to admit it or not, you are guilty of comparing yourself to others. We all do it, whether we realise it or not. We compare ourselves to others. “I wish I had her hair. I wish I had his abs. Why cant I be as beautiful as them”. Well believe it or not, I bet somebody has said that about you too at some point. Self love isn’t something that just happens overnight. It can take some time to learn how to be confident in who you are. So I decided to create a list of things we can do as people instead of comparing ourselves to others.
