HOW TO | FIND INSPIRATION AND PLAN BLOG POSTS

Hello allll, 

Today's post is about how I plan my blog posts and where/how I find the inspiration for them. Which I figured could maybe be a little helpful to other bloggers.

Inspiration

1. I think similar to every other blogger a lot of my inspiration comes from actually reading loads of different blogs and then naturally when you enjoy reading something you want to do your take of it. So mostly, I get my ideas from other bloggers amazing-ness. 

2. Secondly, I find sitting there thinking about what stuff I want to know/read about helps.

3. Thirdly I get a lot of my inspiration for my blog through just living. For example, I do my LIFE series because with enjoying photography it gives me a space to put out those photos(the ones that don't make it to my Instagram...). As well as that, with living naturally you have opinions and stories on things you've experienced and therefore may want to write about that.

Planning
Whilst I have my notebook to scribble down all the ideas I get actually then getting around to taking photos and writing up the post is the time consuming part. So this is what I do to ensure the ideas actually get used!

1. I firstly priortise what posts I want more of, for me STYLE posts are my favourite and the most time consuming so once I have outfits in mind when I have time I make it my priority to snap it and write it up.

2. I'm actually a lil' OCD with having a good backup of blog posts in my drafts (when it gets under 8 posts I start to panic). I know that is a lot but it 100% makes it easier for when/if I'm super busy and don't get around to taking photos for awhile. So a good suggestion is when you have time be as productive as you can so then you don't need to rush them when you don't have time!

There we have it a few little ways to help find inspiration and plan  blog posts!

HOW TO | GET THE PERFECT FOUNDATION SHADE

Hello lovelies, 

This post is something I think pretty much every single pale person can relate to, seeing as for me no foundation shade is ever perfect and therefore can easily turn out with my face being a different shade to my neck...

HOW TO | MAKE YOUR ROOM PINTEREST WORTHY

Hello all! 

The other day I decided to change up my room up a bit so automatically looked at Pinterest to get some inspiration which worked a treat. On the downside it made me want to buy a large amount of homeware I both don't have the money or space for in my box of a uni room. So I went on the hunt to find 'pinterest worthy' homeware on the cheap.

HOW TO | FIND MOTIVATION

I think it's safe to say that all of us at some point or another cannot find an ounce of motivation no matter how hard you try. Whether it be to get a blog post up, do school work, work out, or to finish a job you've been meaning to for a while, it happens to us all. 

With this, I thought that I would give my top 3 tips and tricks that I've been using over the years to help me find both motivation and inspiration.

1.  Pintrest

While this sounds distracting and for me some of the time, is. It works a treat. Need inspiration for a blog post? Search up some ideas that relate to your blog and create a board all about it. For me personally, I love to pin quotes. It helps motivate me as it puts things into perspective and clears my head. I really recommend trying it out, it might just work for you like it does for me.

2. Working Out

This for most is probably the least appealing idea. It used to be for me too until recently when I've finally started working out regularly. It releases endorphins, and endorphins help. For me going for a run only makes me more inspired and motivated to work out more and really helps to clear my head. & we obviously can't forget the health benefits! 

3. Netflix Binge

This is the exact polar opposite to the tip above and is most likely a lot more appealing to you but it is equally as important to remember to allow yourself time to relax. Most of the time I put work off till later because I find myself too stressed thinking about the amount I have to do, to do any! So, because of this I decide not to stress and instead relax for a while. I set an amount of time to watch Netflix (at the moment it's Grey's Anatomy!) and stick to it. Sticking to it is the hard part but if you do, this method really does help.

I really hope that these three top tips that help me help you too. I'd love for you to let me know if they do!

As a side note, if you fancy checking out my Pintrest click here. & also I'd like to say thank you to everyone that both follows and reads my blog. I'm so grateful and astounded at how quickly it has grown. In order to show my appreciation I'm thinking of doing a giveaway when I hit 500 followers and would love for you to let me know what you would like to see in it!

HOW TO | ORGANISE MAKE UP

Since I started getting into make up my collection has only grown. I can only imagine the size it would be if I had literally no self control. Luckily I have just enough to sometimes stop me purchasing more!

Seeing as I feel we all know the pain of having all this makeup and running out of room to keep it I thought I'd show you all how I manage to store both my make up and brushes.

Firstly, I used to keep it all in an over crammed make up bag, this was never really convenient as every time I wanted a specific product I'd find myself emptying the whole bag!

A solution for this was this set of draws. They're perfect seeing as their clear meaning I can easily find whatever product I need. They also hold just enough products that I use on a regular basis. I got these particular draws over a year ago now so I can't find these exact ones but there are many similar online!

For my make up brushes which also seem to grow at a ridiculous rate I purchased the cute little pots from Hobbycraft which is local craft store for roughly £1.99.

Both options are affordable and perfect for storing your make up.

I hope this helps & let me know any other tips and tricks you might have to storing makeup and makeup brushes!
