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.
I’ve been working from home now since the 17th March this year. Thats almost 7 months of my home being work, and work being at my home. It was a weird transition at first but one I have come to appreciate. I get an extra 2 hours in bed, I don’t have to do a commute, finishing work doesn’t involve a train journey home. There are so many benefits, but with anything there are downsides too. The lack of social interaction with colleagues, not having a break between home life and work life, feeling like I must be available 24/7. But please know I am so grateful. Grateful that I have been able to work all throughout this pandemic, and that my job is secure.
I’m mimie mailumo, I am a law student and an entrepreneur. I write about food, skincare and lifestyle on my blog posts. Please check out my blog here.
MY INSECURITIES
Looking smaller than my age has always been an insecurity of mine. Most of my friends are either taller than me or have bigger bodies than mine. But recently, I have come to notice that most people actually look smaller than their ages but the only reason this disturbed me was because the people I surrounded myself with, never stopped to remind me of my size. Of course this wasn’t said to me directly, it was rather an indirect reference. The funny part about it, is that they weren’t even my friends just acquaintances.
Do you like rainy days? I like them in moderation, especially if I don’t need to go anywhere that day! Sometimes it can feel so hard to be productive on rainy days. I just want to curl up in a blanket with a movie and not move all day. I always find it hard getting up in the morning too and making sure the day is productive. So today I thought I’d share some ways we can all become more productive, especially on those dark, rainy gloomy days.
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.

Self-love is such an up and coming topic seen on blogs in 2020. Self-love and self empowerment is raging now more than ever. I wonder why that is? I think it’s because for years and years society has shaped a mould of how we should be living our lives and so many more people are coming out to say they don’t fit the mould and don’t want to. I am here for it. In todays post we will go through a quick lesson on what self-love is, what it looks like and some truths about it too, which will hopefully teach us all a little more about the topic.
It’s a known fact from the people who know me, that I love everything interior design. Im constantly looking at interiors on Pinterest and have far too many boards with design ideas. I have spoken before on this blog about how the way you design your home can have a real effect on your mental health, and I think what you choose to decorate your space with is as equally important. Today were looking at how to choose the best decor to compliment your home! Lets get started..
