I’m relatively new to proper blogging, bare in mind I build websites for a living. I was introduced to blogs through tumblr, but that was mostly reblogging and typing out the odd immature “cryptic yet not so cryptic” comments that I felt reflected my teen problems at the time.
I’m slowly finding my way into the modern blogging world, this all started whilst reading and loving what others have posted. Perfect for a lunchtime read to pass the time or curl up on the sofa with a coffee for some “me” time. The blogs that I’ve found perfect for these occasions and have also helped me gain a little knowledge along the way, here are the blogs that get me inspired:
LIFESTYLE
I love lifestyle blogs, these are my go to for relaxation and motivation for the day kind of reads, I’ve also discovered a passion for interiors and productivity through these guys. Through trends and positive thinking these bloggers have become part of my daily schedule. I feel it’s a great way to start the day while or my commute, or when I’m feeling a lack of motivation these blogs give me a kick up the arse and get my productivity flowing.
I found her blog through her youtube vlogs, although I enjoy those too her blogs stand out more to me due to her high quality photographs, interior styles which are minimal and clean, as well as her fun positive attitude for productivity, travel and health.
Her blog discusses the issues with food, while talking about her own experience to help others feel better about the way they experience food. A great way to show others they are not alone but also that it’s completely normal to have these thoughts as well as up and down days. She’s recently turned to discussing her productivity and budgeting which I also love because reading about organising gets me real inspired to do it myself.
This is more of a fashion and beauty blog, but I mostly read it for it’s articles on health, sleep facts, the odd ‘How to be a better morning person’ type of post and if there is the chance I see an outfit I can even slightly afford it’s nice to imagine I can pull it off.
DESIGN
A blog that can not only give visual design inspo is great but what’s best for me from Creative Boom is that they give career, freelance and client tips & advice. For which not too long ago helped me a great deal when I was trying to detach myself from a job I hated and get rid of any baggage I may have had for new ventures.
I read about these guys literally this week so this one is a newbie for me. I’ve discovered whilst looking at their work they also have a similar blog set up to creative boom, where they discuss their experiences in the design world as well as encouraging you to be happier with your self to help you mentally in life and work. I read about these two from a Creative Boom article, I was drawn to them by their change in location outside of the city to be within nature which helps their design process and inspiration. I love being around nature myself so this is something I’m willing to follow more and see what they get up to.
FASHION/ BEAUTY
I’ve never been great with fashion and beauty, not gonna lie I am trying as I grow up, and it takes a good blog for me to get interested in the topic. This is one blog I do love to give a read every time she posts, (a little biased of me perhaps) as she’s one of my home girls, however her outfits are so sheek, she always looks beaut and her writing style is fun, engaging and represents her hilarious personality so well.
Please let me know of any blogs you love to have a good read of, because I’m really up for discovering more! x
