times are changing...

-

It’s been a couple of months since I relaunched my blog now, and its fair to say I’m loving being back. When I started writing and posting again, I was just writing what I wanted to write in a variety of niche topics. But looking back on it now, I haven’t been writing the posts I am truly passionate about.

I recently wrote a post for another blog and I really liked exploring a different style of writing. It was very different and a lot more research based than just sharing my own opinion, and I found writing it a lot more enjoyable than some of the other posts I have previously written. This has allowed me to think so much more about my niche as a blogger: I don’t just want to be a lifestyle blogger anymore. ‘Lifestyle’ is such a broad topic and I believe sometimes you can lose yourself in it, which has previously resulted in me having writers block.

I am trying to avoid this and the best way of doing it is to change my niche: I have a passion for productivity, positivity and academia. I am a student blogger if you didn’t already know, but with my a-levels being cancelled I haven’t obviously been doing a lot of school work. I am hoping when I start university, I can start producing uni content, something which I am really looking forward to.


I want to start producing more inspiring, uplifting and helpful posts as I feel like it is the best use of this platform, as well as exploring topics I’ve rarely seen discussed in the blogosphere, as I just don’t fit the mould of a typical lifestyle blogger in my opinion. I want to be different. This means I’m going to try switching up my content in a couple of weeks, as I have posts planned until the end of June/beginning of July. These posts will be a lot more research based and may cover topics that can be considered controversial. I’m not however ruling out some of the content I have done in the past, but there will be less on the blog.

I do feel like finding this niche may take a little while so please bear with me, which also means that I am cutting down to 2 posts per week, every Monday and Friday at 12pm. Some of the more researched topics will take some time to plan and write, hence why I’m cutting down on posts. My plan for any other posts i.e. collabs will be posted any time suited to the blogger I am working with.

Since returning, I haven’t given much thought to collabs as I wanted to discover what I am passionate about and build up a small following. However, now I have built up this following and am finding my niche, I am open to collabs, so if any bloggers would like to work with me in the future, I am more than happy to do so! With the post I have written with a fellow blogger (to go up this Wednesday (17th)) I thoroughly enjoyed the experience so over the summer I am hoping to get working with a lot more people, so I better get planning…

I’d also like to say a massive thank you for 200 followers on Instagram. I haven’t always been the most active person on the platform so this does mean a lot! Onwards and upwards as always 😊

Just a massive thank you to everyone for the continued support, the journey will certainly not be over here! I will be back on Friday with a new post,

summer skincare routine

-

Skincare is usually not something I care too much about, and as I do have pretty clear skin. However, I have wanted to have a routine in place, as I am trying to reduce the amount of break outs I have! I mean, what a great time to be writing this, considering I have just broken out with a few spots around my nose! I don't own a lot of skincare products, and its just because my skin rarely needs a full, deep cleanse, but these products I use on a daily basis. In the morning, I will only apply the last 3 products, just because I don't usually have a lot of time to focus on skincare! In the evenings, I start by taking off my makeup with the Garnier Micellar Water and a cotton pad, which thoroughly takes off my makeup, meaning I can skip the stage of cleansing. If I am feeling lazy however, I just remove my makeup with a makeup wipe. I then hydrate my face with the Mario Badescu Facial Spray, which helps my skin from not going dry in the summer months. This also gi...

3 ways to make your spotify 'aesthetic'

-

Music is something that makes me so happy, and you find me listening to it a lot of the time (as I’m writing this I have my summer playlist on), whether that be with my airpods in and being respectful to everyone, blasting out my records, or just having a party in my room (this happens more often than not!). I use and update my spotify account regularly, and like to keep it as ‘aesthetic’ as possible, and there are ways to do this. I will link my spotify below if you’d like any inspiration 😊 1.       Update your playlists regularly. New songs are released weekly, and you can often find songs that you forget about but never add them to playlists. By updating playlists, it means you’re not having the same selection of songs on repeat, which can eventually get boring. As well as adding new songs, removing songs you don’t like as much anymore or don’t fit a certain vibe in a playlist, it can help you to enjoy some playlists a lot more, rather than having to ski...

  Hello and welcome back to the blog, or welcome if you are new! I’m here with another extra collab post, I have been working with Vivian and Sairah from iridescent.photo.blog to bring you this cross over collab! The girls have just finished secondary school and are about to start sixth form/college, and I have just finished sixth form, I got my A-Levels (literally yesterday as I’m writing this). So, I am writing a letter to my 16 year old self, of what I wish I’d known, and the girls will write a letter to their 18 year old selves, which they can refer back to when they are in my position! I will link all of their socials, as well as their blog and post down below! Dear Amelia, I know you’re petrified to start sixth form in a brand-new place, with so many new people, and with a dress code that you’re not so keen on! But I tell you now, you’re going to enjoy the 2 years (most of the time) and you actually really like the dress code once you put your own spin on it! The bi...
