Blog Reads of August

Ok, I've had quite a manic August. From starting a new job to taking two trips away and being a new cat mother, I haven't stopped to sit down! Like I said, it's been a pretty busy month. It's been nice to sit down and do some blogging over the last couple of days cause I literally haven't had the chance in the last 10 days or so. However, just because I haven't been writing much, doesn't mean I'm not reading other blogger's content!


Here are my favourite blog posts from this month of August:



Blog Reads of August

1) How I'm Learning To Ignore Online Negativity | Hello Miss Jordan

We've all faced online negativity or trolling in the past, I know I have. However, learning how to ignore all that and not take it to heart is really difficult. If you're someone like me, I definitely feel hurt and even useless when I receive negative comments. Jordan is absolutely right when she says the best way to combat trolling is to ignore it. Writing something just as harsh back doesn't do you any favours, if anything, it brings you down to their level. Jordan has such a brilliant attitude to online negativity, something all us blogger's can learn from.  

 

 

2) 6 Different Poses To Capture During Your Brand Photoshoot | Sunday Stylings

One thing that I am hopeless at is posing. I just look like an awkward lemon. Ok, that does sound a bit unfair to compare myself to a lemon, lemons are good things. As I'm writing this, I'll be off to Brighton to have a photoshoot with the lovely Ellie and I cannot wait! This post has really helped me as I always feel awkward and uncomfortable standing in front of the camera. This will definitely help me when I meet Ellie for our shoot and I cannot wait to see the finished photo's!

 

 

3) "Get a Real Job" And Where Influencers Fit In The Career Ladder | Petite Ellie

It seriously does my nut in when people think that being an influencer isn't a genuine career. Well, let me tell you, it is. If you are earning a living wage, it's a job. The fact that some ignorant and rude people had a go at Ellie about this is inexcusable. Like Ellie has said in this post, just because it doesn't fall into the standard 9-5 office job, it doesn't mean it's any less justified to have a career as an influencer.

 

 

4) How To Discover Your Writing Style | Emily Clare

I remember when I started my blog, it was nerve wracking and I wondered whether anyone would read anything I wrote. Emily has got it bang on - your writing style is YOURS. You write whatever you want as it's your blog, nobody else's. Like Emily, when I look back to my first few blog posts, one word I can describe them as is 'cringe'. They really were, honestly. If any new blogger is worried about their writing, head straight for this post.

 

 

5) Instagram Tips and Tricks | Of A Glasgow Girl

Anyone who writes a post about tips and tricks about for Instagram, I am all for! This post I really loved from Jordanne, all these tips are straight to the point and so true. For example, when Jordanne says 'likes cost nothing' - I love this and I think a lot of people could really follow this mantra too! It doesn't take a second to like someone's picture, why can't we all do it?
