HAPPIER BLOGGING


I've mentioned before that sometimes I fall out with blogging. Full on sulky style, to the point where I've had enough and I'm ready to take my life off the internet and pack it all in. It doesn't last very long and it is a tad dramatic, but when something takes up a lot of your time and is important to you, it can be easy to get the grouchy pants on about various things. When it comes to happier blogging, these are the main things I think can help with blogging huffs. 

1. Blog when you want to blog

Blogging because you feel like you should is crap. It's like you're forcing it and for me that never turns out great. These days I try not to beat myself up if I haven't had time to blog quite as regular as I'd have liked.. It's okay to miss a day! There's work and life to fit in, as well as blogging stuff. I'd rather get something up that I'm happy with rather than any old rubbish I've churned out. 

2. Spread the blog love

I feel like you get a lot more out of saying something nice to another blogger rather than sitting there with the grumps on 'cause they've just published some amaaazing blog pictures and you're thinking that right now even David Bailey wouldn't make you look good. When people take the time to be nice though I think it's nice to pass the love on. It's always good to make someone feel good.

3. Take time out of the internet

Shock horror.. Life continues beyond the internet. Lol. I'm so into the whole online world that I need to remember to log off, shut down and stop stressing about stuff in the virtual world. I always need to work on just living life, rather than seeing it all through a camera lens and updating Twitter with what I've been up to. Maybe I should brave travelling?! Big question.. Could I manage without wifi?! 

4. Write what you want to write

When I have time, I try to write more of what I really want to. It's not that I don't want to talk about clothes and makeup and all the usual stuff that I go for on here, but it's kind of thing that I always go for. I like writing more silly stuff too, and although it's not my usual post and I'm not always sure if people will be interested, it is after all your blog and your choice when it comes to content.. That's part of the fun of it. 

5. Don't focus on the success

I think when you get too focused on that it's a rocky road to getting peed off when you're not reaching what you want to reach.. There are plenty of bits of advice out there but I don't think there's a fail safe route to blogger 'success'. I'd rather just enjoy it as a lovely little hobby that may or may not lead to a few perks. 

Sooo there we have it. On a whole I am a very happy bloggy person, but we all have highs & lows with it right?!

corset & knit midi skirt

Choker - DIY, Coat - c/o SheInside , Corset Thingymabobby - John Lewis, Belt - Primark, Skirt - Primark, Boots - Dr. Martens I’m guessing you’ll have realised these pictures aren’t from today. Oh my days it is snowy up North. My area has got well over a foot of the stuff so I thought you’d let me off with trekking out to take blog pictures! Today I’ve been for a walk with my mamma in the woods so I did get chance to take a few pictures while we had a wander. My outfit basically consisted of lots of layers & wellies.. not exactly on trend! If anyone does want a nosey at the outfits I don't get chance to post on here then there’ll be plenty of pictures on my Instagram (fashioninflux). The little corset thingymabobby I’m wearing is actually what I wore under my dress for prom. Depressingly, that was over 5 years ago now.. when did I get so old?! I’m definitely going to be wearing under some form of sheer shirt when the summer finally arrives. Having a...

lace flares & cropped jumper

Hat - River Island, Jumper - River Island, Belt - Primark, Lace Flares - H&M, Boots - c/o Missguided , Bag - c/o La Moda What does everyone think of the landscape pictures? I included a few today as sometimes I feel like you can’t really see the whole outfit. And the scenery was quite pretty. These pictures were taken a few days ago and my garden is now covered in much more snow. It looks lovely, but golly it’s a pain! I’m not keen on falling over or skidding in my car! I had to get my lace flares out after seeing Lucy look mega gorgeous in hers. I’m really sick of wearing tights and leggings so they make a nice change. They’re very see through so I’ve got a really thick pair of tights on underneath. I think I could have been wearing them in my first year at big school but they’ll do! The jumper I’m wearing has been worn to death since I got it for my birthday. It’s one of those things you can throw on over everything and feel cosy but still l...

slogan tee & cherry disco pants

Hat - River Island, T-Shirt - c/o Studded Petals , Belt - Primark, Disco Pants - c/o Glamorous , Boots - c/o Missguided I’ve been wanting to show you all this tee since it arrived. What do you think of the slogan?! I love it.. Such fun! Excuse the Miranda reference.. ‘such fun’ has now become part of my lingo. Ha. This is the closest I’ll be getting to anything Chanel related for a long time, which is fine by me.. it’s cute as a button. Fingers crossed though for one day earning enough mega bucks to end up flouncing around with a quilted 2.55 baby. Day dreaming yet again. Hopefully, you’re not all going to be turned off by a disco pants outfit. I know they’ve been overdone, but I’ve never really been the sort of person to be put off by something like that. If I like a trend or piece of clothing, I’ll still be wearing it even when everyone & their grandma’s has it. It’s more how you wear it I think. Annoyingly, I wore the t-shirt down after I’d take...
