Blogging is very time consuming as everyone already knows and since I’ve started uni in 2015, I’ve been really inconsistent with my blog – I’ve had months without posting once and I’ve had some when I’ve posted 3 times a week.

Back in August I got my ass back in the blogging world and started uploading more regularly, interacting with other bloggers and reading loads of blog posts – not only to keep myself updated about what has been going on but also to find inspiration for the future weeks. There are a few bloggers that I totally look up to and think “one day I’ll be this great” and even if I never get to be that great, at least I’m doing my best ahh.
Imii is honestly one of my favourite bloggers for a long time now. her content is pure honesty either she’s feeling great and sh*t and it feels like you’re just chatting with your friend on the couch with a cup of tea in your hand. Embracing Me is one of Imii’s blog posts from August and probably one of the most popular ones as I think most people can see themselves in those words. 10 Photos That Will Make You Want To Visit Alberta, Canada is such a brilliant post full of incredible photos from Canada. If you don’t want to feel miserable about being at home atm, don’t read it.
I’ve mentioned Gemma multiple times on the blog because she is definitely someone inspiring for me. When I first discovered Gemma’s blog her posts were mainly beauty and I was just fascinated by her makeup looks. Lately, she has been adding a lot more to the blog and it honestly makes me want to read it for hours. What Being a Single Parent Has Taught Me is a blog post that made me really open my eyes about life – we often are so centred on our own lives and we don’t ever realise how others have such different lives – I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a good post to read with a cuppa.
Martha’s blog is one I’ve come across fairly recently but it became one of my favourites fairly quick as well. I think Martha has found the perfect balance between fashion and wellbeing – something I absolutely love. She writes about plenty of subjects while still having fashion always present. 5 Ways To Reset After Failure and WhatI Learned From Failing My Summer Goals are two perfect examples of blog posts where you can find personal experience, advice and fashion. If you love fashion but also love reading about others’ experiences, this is the blog to follow.

Lily has a solid blog that makes me wish I had the ability to be as organised and put together such great blog posts. She blogs mainly about beauty but there's always some lifestyle and blogging bits every now and then and that's what makes me follow her blog. 4 Things To Look For In A Blog Post is a good way to understand other people's perspectives when it comes to what to look for in blog posts and how to build your own. It's always easier to know what to improve when you know what others bloggers like.

What are your favourite bloggers and those you truly look up to?
We all have been there before – taking dozens of photos and none of them looking as bright and fabulous as the ones your favourite blogger uploads. I’ve been there and looking back now I wonder why the hell I thought that taking photos at 7 pm was a good idea. It definitely isn’t. Along time I’ve been learning how to take better photos and making them as bright as possible in A/W without using artificial light because – let’s admit it – some of us just don’t have the money for it.
Everyone outside this huge world of blogging thinks this is an easy task. “How don’t you have time to do it? It’s just a few pictures and text.” It isn’t and you – blogger – know that. I’ve lost count of the times I felt so overwhelmed with a number of tasks that need to be completed until you consider a blog post fully ready to go. Luckily through time, I’ve found a few tools that make my everyday blogging tasks easier and help me in specific situations.

I believe that setting goals make us wish for improvement. We do it because we want to do better and push ourselves leaving our comfort zone and hopefully see a little success. Truth be told, goals make us be the best version ourselves – it makes us work even harder and get bigger and bigger every day. However, this month I’m not setting any goals. Let me tell you why.
Being a teenager can be difficult at times, that’s a fact everyone will agree if they’ve ever been there. Even though it doesn’t define who you are as an adult, it certainly shapes you and the way you see the world. Since being very young, I was always taught to not be afraid of being myself and defending my beliefs. Truth be told, I was never an easy influenced child or teenager and I knew how to distance myself from situations when I didn’t feel comfortable.
All that becomes a challenge when you’re 16 and all you really want in life is to fit in. I was 16 when I started my blog and I kept it a secret until I left high-school because I was so scared of what people would say about me and the weirdness of me be having a blog. What was even that a while ago?
