Blog Reads of February

Posting this a little earlier than I normally would! But here are my favourite posts from February!




I seriously love reading this lovely girl's posts, they're so straight to the point and positive. This post that Ellie wrote about blogging awards had me nodding in agreement all the way through. This industry is still mocked and laughed at, even though the progression of the blogging/influencer industry has grown so much in recent years. Ellie is right, we should celebrate and recognise bloggers who work their butt off all year round to create amazing content, blogging awards are the ONE. The Blogosphere Awards are currently open for nominations, get voting for your favourite bloggers NOW. (Sorry for the shouty capitals)
 
 
2) Let's Talk About: Being Single on Valentine's Day | Abigail Talks About
I've been single on V-Day for years now, yep, quite depressing to say out loud. I love how Abigail has put her spin on being a singleton on the international day of love. There are so many perks that Abigail has listed here that I'm pretty much glad I stayed single on Valentine's! From not forking out god knows how much money on gifts, to eating and wearing whatever I well, please. My favourite has to be cuddling up with your fur babies, which is exactly what I did. I ended up with a porky black and white cat by the name of Charlie curled up on my nap. Bliss for me. Thank you Abigail for making singletons see that there are always perks to being single on V-Day!
 
 

3) How To Overcome Blogger's Block | The Sunday Mode
A must read for a blogger struggling with this. That feeling when you can't think of anything to write as a blogger is one of the worst feelings. I've suffered from it and it's not nice, you feel your creative mind has turned to mush and you feel like you can't get your creativity back. I love this post that Julia has written about to overcome that blogger's block. I'm glad I'm not the only one who writes in a passive voice! When I do a grammar check on my posts before publishing, that's one of the error's that always crop up. One suggestion that Julia has mentioned is listening to podcasts. Podcasts have become a newfound love for me, I definitely will listen to them more when I get a case of blogger's block.
 
 

Ok, this post may only have two sentences, but these absolutely beautiful and aesthetically pleasing photo's of flowers are definitely worth the look. I've followed Rebecca for a long time now and her photography is just stunning and inspirational, to say the least. I love Spring, a time of year for blossoming flowers, Easter eggs, rabbits, luscious green grass and two weeks off work for the Easter Holidays. Hmm, Spring is definitely one of my favourite parts of the year.

 
5) Love or Loneliness? | Hello October
I've written about being single recently on Valentine's Day. I've mouthed the words "I'm going to be alone forever LOL" plenty of times in the past. Usually, when I'm feeling down or someone I know is getting engaged or getting a puppy with their partner. One thing that Suzie has written is that V-Day is just a day, it's no different to any other day with your partner. You can celebrate as many relationships as you bloody well have, but the one thing that struck a chord with me is the most important relationship you have is the one with yourself. Abso-bloody-lutely! And that's how it should be!
 
 
6) I Can't Be That Blogger Girl | Sinead Kathryn
I scroll through Instagram daily and I see all these bloggers posing in front of Peggy Porschen or outside a telephone box in London, it makes me realise that I cannot be that blogger girl, this is why I loved reading Sinead's posts so much, I could completely relate to it. Like Sinead, I started blogging as a hobby, barely knowing that I could make money from it. Also like Sinead, I compare my flatlay's and OOTD photos with other bloggers and I fully know that I can't even begin to imagine taking amazing photos like those bloggers do. However, I'm happy as I am right now, that's all that matters!

  5. I really loved reading this post! I love discovering new bloggers, and what better way to do that than to go by recommendations of bloggers you already read regularly? I love the sound of 'How To Overcome Bloggers Block'; one thing I never get in the green is the passive voice part of yoast. I can't listen to podcasts, but I guess even videos on YouTube would help with it! I'm interested in hearing about the blogging awards opinion piece, too; I don't personally get involved in them and I've seen the fall out too many times, but I'm super interested to see things from the opposite side of the fence!

  6. These are some great posts for great bloggers. I love discovering and/or re-discovering bloggers. I can totally relate to using too much passive voice!. I use an online passive voice detector, but Yoast always seems to be able to highlight more 🤣
    I love https://lenadeexo.com/new-york-city-chronicles-2/ post on New York. Her photos are just stunning!

    Wonderful post lovely!
