June 28, 2021June 28, 2021by Olivia26 Comments

Growing up and even now, I really appreciate life advice. Somebody taking time away from their lives, to share their wisdom with me is so special. Often times I have long, in depth conversations with friends about things we have experienced in life and how we learnt from each individual experience. Learning about others mistakes, and others accomplishments really helps to pave a path for us. Never under estimate the importance of sharing and gaining knowledge from other people. We like to think we can do things alone, but thats not really true.

June 14, 2021June 14, 2021by Olivia47 Comments

As a lifestyle blogger I am very aware of the fact that the niche I am in, is very over crowded. There is no doubt about it. When I first started blogging, I had no idea what niche I wanted to put my blog in. And honestly, you don’t even have to niche yourself if you don’t want to. The lifestyle niche I fell into just happened naturally, and sometimes thats the way it goes. Or you choose and niche and then swap it.

What To Do When Your Blog Stats Get Low

May 18, 2021May 18, 2021by Olivia37 Comments

If you were to ask any blogger that the main concern they have of their blog, 9 times out of ten they’d reply something to do with there blog stats. And I probably would too. Bloggers worry about anything and everything to do with their blogs. Sometimes we tend to worry too much. As a blogger I know that alot of our ‘success’ comes down to how many followers we have, or how many likes, views and comments our posts get. And when these numbers get low, it’s easy for us to become discouraged.

May 4, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia44 Comments

As I have gotten older, I have come to realise that there are various types of rest every person needs. Society has created this mentality in alot of people that we must keep going, work 24/7 otherwise we aren’t deemed as ‘successful.’ When of course, this isn’t the case at all. I’m such an advocate for resting when its needed. Whether it’s physical rest or something else.

5 Confessions of a Full Time Blogger

February 1, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia33 Comments

To confess is to admit something not many people know [if anyone], and as bloggers we have so many confessions. Well I do anyway. There are things I do all of the time that you wouldn’t know from the other side of the computer screen. You don’t see me roll my eyes when the same person for the 5th time that week has left their link in my comment section. You don’t see the countless hours I spend worrying about whether readers will like my posts, or the late night thinking about featured images – weird I know.

Blogging is the biggest blessing and has saved me in so many different ways but there are things we all do that we won’t admit to. With anything in life you find downsides or things that annoy you, so today I want to share those things. And admit some of the bad habits I have or the things that tick me off. Because we are all humans after all!

December Degusta Subscription Box Review

December 20, 2020May 20, 2021by Olivia34 Comments

If you didn’t already know, I’m very much a snack lover, which is why I’m so happy I have got the chance to try Desgusta box this month! When the box of goodies turned up at my door I couldn’t contain my excitement. Snacks are perfect for any time of the day. Don’t want a big breakfast? Grab a snack. Feeling peck-ish in-between meals? Grab a snack! There is just something so comforting about having snacks in the house as and when you need them.

This is my first time trying a snack subscription box service before and was so pleased when I received my box full of goodies from Degusta box. The box was filled to the brim with goodies and I was pleasantly surprised to see that this months box was in partnership with Sainsbury’s. Which is good to know, because there are for some some items in there that I want to go and purchase again.
