Hello people of the universe!
Before I begin, I should probably clear something up. I am in no way an expert in 'blog post writing'! In fact, quite the opposite, let me set the scene.
It's inside a musky local library , the only noise is the tapping of computer keys and the quiet voice of a mum exchanging death threats with her child. (Slight exaggeration, she was actually just telling her to hurry up!)
In the corner, surrounded by books on blogging, fashion and holiday romances (I do love a bit of holiday romance!) is a girl with brown cropped hair, sat in a tiny blue children's chair, scribbling furiously in a small notebook. That's me.

The thing is, everyone has their own writing style. Some people keep their posts very factual and 'this-is-what-I-want-to-say-I'm-being-direct', others go down the humorous, chatty, friendly route. This is why I absolutely love reading blogs (and why I have no social life!) cause they are all so different!
5 Top Tips on Writing Blog Posts!
1. Avoid writing blog posts at home.
This may sound strange, but I find I can get a little bit 'distracted' (and by that I mean buying useless things on Amazon, watching at least 20 YouTUbe videos and eating an ENTIRE pack of seedless grapes) when in the comfort of my own home. #pyjamaparty #DidIJustUseAHashtag? #sorry! My favourite place, as previously mentioned in my very long winded intro, is the library. If you don't have a local library, cafes and oddly churches also work. (I realise that sounds quite creepy!)

4. Post at the same time, every time!
Although I do upload a post every day, the time... well, let's just say I need to practise that one as well! Pinky promise it'll get better!
5. Don't feel pressured into posting.
If you're having a 'blogging funk' and you are feeling really uninspired, don't post that day! Blogging should be fun and enjoyable, don't make it a chore. However, for a little bit of inspiration, I've written you a list (Yes, it's a list inside a list! I'm such a wild child! ) of bloggers that get me rearing to write! (Alliteration to the max!)
a) For a chatty, makeup fueled blog post, www.viviannadoesmakeup.com
b) For a friendly, beauty/lifestyle pep talk, www.lilypebbles.co.uk
c) For all things beauty and makeup, www.pixiwoo.com
Hope you enjoyed this post, it was something a little bit different. See you tomorrow!
Love ya, Erin xxxx
