As Promised, here is part 2. While I do follow beauty and fashion blogs, I also follow fitness, crafting, and lifestyle blogs. Sometimes if you're lucky one blog will feature all of these!
Fitness Blogs: I use the same principals here that I use when choosing a beauty blog. I like to follow people with the same health and fitness goals that I have, and I also like simple, and quick tips when it comes to what I look for in a fitness blog. Another great thing is when the fitness blogger features healthy recipes. I love to cook, and if I can do it in a healthy way that's even better!
Cooking Blogs: I tend to follow cooking blogs that feature quick and easy meals. If you know me, you know how crazy I am about my crock pot. It's also important to me to know the nutritional value of whatever it is that I cook, so I like when a blog tells that information as well. And of course, like most women these days, I draw LOTS of inspiration for recipes from Pinterest.
Crafting Blogs: I have a confession when it comes to crafting. I'm pretty terrible at it. I have awesome ideas, but when it comes to actually "crafting" it, that's where the issue comes. I think I mainly have a confidence problem when it comes to crafting because I feel the craft won't turn out exactly like I want it. That's why when I look to follow a crafting blog, their tutorials on projects have to be EXTREMELY CLEAR. I have to know each and every step, each and every product used, and I need pictures. Bonus points if there's a You Tube video to go with it. This also makes me dislike Pinterest at times. Pinterest is the world's worst for having a pin on their site for a craft tutorial that goes no where! That's really frustrating to me. So the more clear you are in your crafting tutorial, the better it is (for me at least). I love rustic decor crafting blogs, and blogs that repurpose things. I love being able to take what you already have and reuse it for something totally different. I think it's so cool.
This concludes my take on how I navigate through the blogging world. I apologize for being slightly long winded, but I really feel it's important that if you decide to start choosing blogs to read, or even decide to start a blog yourself, that you know what you are looking for. There's a lot of info out there, just have to weed through it. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Lots of cool stuff coming next week, featuring fashion and beauty!
*Love*
