5 Blogs You Need to Read This Month

One thing I love about blogging is being able to read other blogs. I really treat my WordPress reader like the newspaper. I scroll through and read through several blogs each day. Not only because I want to, but its so important in the blogging community to show love and support to other bloggers. I recently saw another blogger do a whole post sharing her favourite blog posts that month, and I thought it was such a great idea. So here I am! Thanks Michelle for the idea.

How To Be An Authentic Blogger

How To Be An Authentic Blogger

Being an authentic blogger in a world full of fake online lives can be difficult. It’s not easy to feel like you can be yourself when we are constantly told that we should be a certain way to be liked. Authenticity can be really hard to come by, especially when it comes to relationships and on social media. Everyone loves to put on this persona online, and its one that I will not get behind. Being an authentic blogger is something I have grown to learn. When I first started back to blogging I found it hard to open up to my readers. I still keep alot of my life private, but choose to share the vulnerable parts of me in hopes that it will help others.

What I Do Every week To Maintain and Run My Blog

What I Do Every week To Maintain and Run My Blog

There are so many steps that are involved in order for me to maintain and run my blog. Before coming back to blogging and previously, I didn’t know that running a blog would be like having a full time job. I really underestimated the time and effort that goes into it and I’m not sure I would have started my blog back up if I’d had known. Don’t get me wrong, I love blogging but I don’t love some of the tedious tasks that happen behind the scenes. It’s like a tv show. The viewer only sees the final, polished version and they don’t get to see the people running around like headless chickens making it happen.

The Truth About Bloggers

The Truth About Bloggers

As bloggers we are constantly messing up and doing the wrong things. I have spoken openly about my blogging mistakes in the past and will be the first to hold my hands up to a mistake I have made. We are not perfect, and none of us have ever claimed to be either. But something I am noticing quite often recently in the blogging community, are bloggers who just get it wrong. Whether it’s the advice they share or the way they speak to their readers. There is this increase of bad advice and no thought going into posts and I’m sure I’m not the only one who has seen this happening either.

4 Tips For a Good Nights Sleep

4 Tips For a Good Nights Sleep

About a month ago I really struggled to get a good nights sleep. I tossed and turned all night with thoughts racing through my mind like a Formula1 track. As a bit of a background I have never struggled with my sleep. I was that person that could lay their head down and fall asleep straight away. It’s not until I’ve been getting older and more life stresses have happened that my sleep has been affected.

Not being able to sleep is really horrible. It can really affect your mental health and your mood. It’s quite dangerous too, it can cause some really scary thoughts and ideas as you are lay awake during the early hours. I really feel for people who go through this constantly.

Olivia, how do I increase traffic to my website? Well Anonymous 12625, I honestly have no idea. And that is usually how my conversations with people go, because I actually really don’t know.

What To Do When You’re Lacking Inspiration

What To Do When You’re Lacking Inspiration

Inspiration, Inspiration, Inspiration.

If you’re a blogger, writer or anything to do with creating, at some point I’m sure you have found that your inspiration levels have run low. Which has probably left you feeling frustrated, annoyed and deflated at the fact you can’t think of anything new. We have all been there and know just how that feels. Inspiration can come from so many different places, you just have to go looking in the right place.

It’s like a battle of two forces. You want to create something but you just don’t know what. There are times I go through this with writing. I actually went through just that whilst trying to think of blog content and thats how this post was created. I had writers block and had no idea what to write, so thank you writers block for helping me out for once!
