A Mental Health Catch Up

July 29, 2021July 29, 2021by Olivia39 Comments

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.

July 21, 2021July 21, 2021by Olivia13 Comments

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.

Are You Happy?

July 12, 2021July 12, 2021by Olivia30 Comments

To be happy, is something that alot of us strive for in life. Being happy (at least to me) is more than just an emotion, its a feeling too. I feel like as people, we chase happiness in almost everything we can find. Relationships, material items and experiences. When true happiness can only really be felt within. Did you know that 3 out of the 4 main emotions we feel as humans are negative, and only one is positive? Happy, sad, afraid and angry. So it’s no wonder we find it hard to be happy all of the time.

How To Turn Your Blog Into a Business

July 7, 2021July 22, 2021by Olivia26 Comments

Turning a blog into a business is not an easy task. I remember when I first started blogging, I had no idea that I could make money from my website. And when I had my first opportunity to make some extra cash it was life changing. I couldn’t believe that this little website could provide a small amount of income for me. Money and blogging really can go hand in hand if you know what you are doing. And, like many other bloggers I for sure winged it and went into the business side of blogging with zero experience.

My One Year Blogging Anniversary

June 30, 2021June 25, 2021by Olivia82 Comments

I can’t quite believe that Olivia Lucie Blake has turned one and its my one year blogging anniversary. Coming back to blogging after having almost 4 years away from this site, I had no idea what I was coming back to. If you are unsure of my blogging journey story, my blog was originally called Diadem of Beauty. With my main goal of wanting to share about beauty and hair products for all different races and hair types. I blogged on this topic for about a year. I didn’t see much growth in that year, as I was so inconsistent and realised that I had created such a small niche in my content. Slowly realising that I had lost my passion, the posts were few and far between and thats when I gave up.
