I'm in a bit of a blogging rut - I don't know what to do!

What I'm Currently Ready + My Blogging Funk

I thought today I would do a little update on what I'm currently reading and a little on my current blogging funk.

Top Tips For Rainy Day Photography

I know we have had a few days of good weather - knock on wood that I haven't jinxed the sun by writing this article - but today I thought I would share some of my tips for shooting when it's wet outside.

I'm no professional photographer but I've been doing my best on this blog for a good while now and I'm Scottish, which means if we don't want to shoot in the rain then we would have to shoot everything photos on the two sunny, dry days we get!

Life Update

I'm fully aware that this post will probably be read by noone - indeed the whole point of this post is to address the fact that I've been inactive for almost a year, so if you are still here well done!

One of the best things about using Instagram either for yourself, or as part of your social media strategy for blogs or websites, is how easy it is to share it on other platforms. You just click the share button when you're writing your caption and off it goes. However there is one big problem, when you share to Twitter it doesn't show as a picture, only a link! Well, here is how to fix that problem!

5 Things I Need To Buy For My Blog Right Now

This post is kind of an odd one, it's a list of 5 things I need to buy for my blog right now. And this isn't just a filler list of five items that I would quite like to buy right now. This is actually five items that I need and that would straight up improve my blog significantly right now.

How Do I Make Money From Blogging - Affiliate Links, Brand Collaborations, etc.

It seems a little crazy the amount of opportunities that are coming to bloggers these days- from books to make up lines- and although I am not receiving anything in this league I do work with brands on occasion. So I wanted to write this post to be completely transparent with my readers, as well as complying with the law on how I make money from my blog!

My 2016 Blog Goals

I can't believe it, it's 2016! Happy New Year! I hope you have had an amazing 2015 and an even better 2016. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog and watch my videos. Although I love blogging for me, I get even more out of it when I see what you are reading or leaving comments on, so thank you!

Unpopular Posts In 2015

In one final blog round up/sweep I thought I would showcase some posts that were pretty unpopular!

However I think you guys might have been a little unfair on poor little me, so let's give them a second chance!

January - How To Explore A New City

My Most Popular Posts of 2015

Hello! I hope everyone had a good Christmas with lots of smiles and happiness with family! I can't believe it's almost 2016, that's so crazy and I'm feeling old!

Gift Guide: The Man Edition

It's another gift guide! First up I wrote up one for the student/blogger in your life (basically wrote it for myself) here and then one for the quirky cool girl in your life (here). Now it's one for the boys in my life...

Gift Guide: Quirky / Cool Girl

As I mentioned in my Blogger / Student gift guide I am doing my gift guides a little differently. Instead of writing a general guide, I am writing a series of super specific ones for people in my life.

Gift Guide: Student / Blogger

Before getting stuck into this gift guide I have to say a massive thank you! My blog has just broken 100,000 views and that is all down to you guys! Thank you so much for taking to the time to read my words and look at my face and most importantly, actually engaging with me and leaving comments. So excited!

Now on to my gift guide!

Guest Posting As A Way Of Boosting Your Blog

Let's take a minute to talk about one method of boosting both traffic to and exposure of your blog on a different platform!

A Blogger and Vlogger's Review of the Canon G7X Powershot

As you probably will have gathered I am by no means a professional photographer, I really appreciate the skills pro's have and love looking at beautiful photos. Sure I dapple with 35mm film photography (which you get subjected to with my Silent Sunday series), but I try my best.

I bought the Canon PowerShot G7X at the start of the summer and after a few months of using it I have put together a little review of it for you- as I'm not a pro this is just my impression of it as a Blogger and a beginner Vlogger (I have just started venturing into YouTube).

Periscope

Hello hello! Just a quick post today to say I have joined Periscope because I'm young and current (apparently). So if you want to see little random snippets of my life feel free to add me - @liquidgrain

Now, on to the topic at hand- underage blogging!
