6 Habits Every Blogger Should Adopt in 2018

I have been wanting to make a post like this for a while and since it's a new year what better time to start putting a few of these into place.
Us bloggers are guilty of missing a few things out, comparing our success to others and complaining about many factors in this industry. It is a tough industry to be a part of but there are a few ways around it and they are a lot more simple than you think. There have been so many posts lately about the blogging drama that has been happening and the best thing I choose to do is ignore all the hate because it will only cause myself to get angry and I feel I could end up falling out of love with blogging if I keep letting it mess with my head. I admire all of those bloggers speaking out about issues and the determination they have to fight against those who don't quite agree with the blogging industry and I back them 100%.

The Future of this Blog

Isn't a tradition for every blogger to have a massive change to their blog at some point along the road?  I'm really hoping 2018 will be that year I make that big change and properly sort my blog out to the way I have always imagined it. This change may be to the content, a different photo theme, blog layout or template etc. Here are a few goals/things I'd love to do in the first half of this year to my blog - it's about time I make a change I think!

6 Things I'm Already Loving in 2018

I've started this year in a positive way already so I'm hopeful that this year will be soooo much better than 2017. 2017 wasn't the best year for me, even though I did travel to some pretty amazing places, meet lovely people and live in China for a year, there were some hiccups along the way which I'd love to move on from and forget. I want a big change in 2018 and there's already a few little changes/additions that have left me feeling happy.

4 Skills You Develop as a Blogger

Blogging can come across as quite a straight forward job; you write about something of your interest, take photos and then publish - if only if was that simple. So much goes into a single blog post but you don't necessarily see behind the scenes. You're constantly having to come up with fresh content, create and edit photographs, newsletters and emails, staying connected with the online world through various social medias; it really is a lot of work which people don't tend to realise. Through doing this all you gain numerous skills and develop these as your blog grows.

December Round Up & January Goals

And that's a wrap 2017. Happy new year everyone and hellooooooo 2018! Wow it's already 2018? Is it me or does it still feel like it was 2012 yesterday? Crazy how time is flying by.

Luxury Christmas Gift Guide 2017

Whether you have a lot of people to buy for, or just a couple, it can be quite a hectic time to try and think of various presents to suit peoples needs, why do we put ourselves through so much stress? There are so many shops online and on the high street to find a range of gifts, from days out to luxury items for the home or to fit a person's hobby. I have put together a luxury gift guide for women, with some bits for men too, and an affordable gift guide (coming soon after this one) to fit everyone's budgets. People may prefer to buy a few smaller gifts than one big gift, so the affordable gift guide may come a little more useful to you. Obviously I have only selected a few bits and bobs from some categories but I thought there was a little something for all women in this, including a few personal favourites.
