How to Stop Living For The Weekend and Start Living For Everyday

October 4, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia15 Comments

I have to admit that I once was that person that lived for the weekend. I felt stuck in a job that I hated and when Friday came around its like I became a new woman. This feeling slowly went away as Sunday crept in as I knew the doom and gloom awaiting me at work on Monday. It can be really hard to get out of this mind-set, believe me I know. But once you do its the best feeling in the world.

Today I’ll be sharing some tips and tricks on how you can stop living for weekends and start living for everyday instead!

My Thoughts on Blogging

Featuredby Olivia115 Comments

I’ve been wanting to write some sort of blogging post like this for a while but never felt I knew enough to give any advice on the matter. Then I realised, I probably wont ever get to a point where I feel like I know enough knowledge to share it. So thought I would share the advice I have now, in hopes it might help new (or old) bloggers out there.

Please know, I am no means and expert at blogging. I mess up and make mistakes just like everyone else. I probably don’t do a lot of things right with my blogs, but were all learning. I just want to share the little knowledge I have.

4 Tasty Meat Free Meal Ideas

Featuredby Olivia35 Comments

Not many of you will know this about me but I’m vegetarian. I have been for 5 years now and it was probably the best thing I ever did. A little background on why I became vegetarian is probably needed here. I love animals plain and simple. Me and my best friend embarked on this journey together and it started out by me having meat free days. I’d do this every other day and only eat fish or no meat at all. For the first year or so I was a pescatarian which means I only ate fish. It actually took me a couple tries to stop eating fish but finally did it and I have not turned back since.

How to Lovingly Let Go of Friendships

Featuredby Olivia37 Comments

I wrote a post a few weeks ago called ‘How to Lovingly Let Go of Relationships” and it mainly focused on relationships in the sense of romantic relationships. And I thought it would be good to talk on the subject again, but this time about friendships in particular. I think at times when friendships end it can be harder than relationships, depending on the reasoning behind the friendship ending.

Letting go of any type of relationship isn’t easy, especially when you can feel that things have shifted or changed between you. I hope to make it easier for you by going through some advice from when I have been through it myself. Its not easy letting go of anything, but we should do things in love always.

Since I have been learning how to love my body journey, its become even more important to me that I fill my body with things that are good for me.

How to Make Your Blog Posts More Relatable

September 2, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia56 Comments

Relatable blog content can be defined as any content that the reader can relate to. Thats what I try to do with my own blogging content. I try to make sure that it’s a real life issue that people are going through, or that it’s something I would like to learn myself if I am providing tips and advice. I think it’s important as a writer to believe in what you are saying. How can I expect my readers to relate to something when I don’t even relate to it myself?

Thank You For One Thousand

August 28, 2020August 28, 2020by Olivia132 Comments

I didn’t even know how to start this post. Because I was not quite prepared for me to hit this milestone so quickly. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for choosing to follow me. I restarted this blog at the beginning of July with 160 followers and no idea what I was doing (still don’t) and here I am on the 28th July hitting 1,000 followers. I never once thought this would happen and so soon.

I am still learning and making mistakes and still will. Theres always so much to learn with anything, especially blogging. Thank you for sticking with me. I hope that this can continue, and I hope this community of people can build up into an army of positive, self confident, kind humans. 💕

Special thanks to those that are constantly supporting, liking and commenting words of encouragement. You know who you are. And special thanks to those who have featured on my blog by doing guest posts. They really are so enjoyable and I love getting to know each of you through the process.

Thanks so much!

Lessons I’ve Learnt From My Friends

August 28, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia44 Comments

I did a blog post recently that was called ‘5 Lessons I’ve Learnt From My Parents‘ and I thought it would be a great idea to do the same post but based around things I’ve learnt from my friends. I’m so lucky to have been blessed with so many amazing friends throughout my life. Some just for a season and some for the long haul. I’m grateful for the lessons learnt in all of those friendships. My friends play such a huge role in my life so why not pass on the lessons and knowledge that I have learnt from them onto the world.
