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.

10 Pieces of Life Advice From 10 Different Bloggers

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.

These 3 Things Helped Me To Be Happier

May 29, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia31 Comments

One of my main goals in life is really to be happier. So often we go through life and go with the motions and forget about how important happiness is. If you aren’t happy, you’ll find so many other things in your life don’t align. I remember as a child being so happy and content with life, and I know I am lucky to have experienced that because so many didn’t. And sometimes, I wish I could go back to my child mind and find happiness in the small things again.

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.

I Nearly Gave Up on Blogging & Here’s Why I Didn’t

May 10, 2021May 10, 2021by Olivia49 Comments

I nearly gave up on blogging, and I’m sure so many of you have too. I think so many of us bloggers go through phases of feeling like we want to quit and give up. When things don’t go our way, or we aren’t seeing the results we want its so easy to feel discouraged. Blogging is really tough sometimes, and often it feels like the joy of it gets taken away when other things are going on. And don’t get me wrong, I really love what I do. But with anything, when other aspects of life are getting on top of you, sometimes blogging has to take a back seat.
