18 Blog Post Ideas For Lifestyle Bloggers

Hey guys!

How are you today? Today I am going to share some blog post ideas that are suitable for lifestyle bloggers. 

Trying to think of something to write is a challenging process. You sit down at your desk, because you've scheduled a writing session, but nothing comes into your head. As bloggers, writer's block is pretty much unavoidable. It affects all of us at some point. It's definitely happened to me on a few occasions, especially during the last year when I've been really busy with my dissertation and applying to jobs and haven't had much time to blog.

A way to overcome writer's block is to read other people's blogs for inspiration. Several blogs have a post dedicated to ideas for what to write about, and I have included one of my own. I hope these are useful for when you find yourself in a bit of a blogging slump!

 

 

1. Playlists - I love playlists. They are a great way of finding new music. Why not share a list of your favourite songs?

2. Throwback Thursday - This is basically a post dedicated to something that happened in the past, such as a holiday, or an event, or even a band you loved as a kid.

3. OOTD - A.K.A. 'Outfit Of The Day'. Simply upload a photo of the outfit you're wearing and include a little info about where you bought your clothes from.

4. Reviews - This could be for a favourite beauty product, a book, a film, etc. Make sure they are honest and don't just ramble.

5. 10 Things You Didn't Know About Me - This type of post is great for creating a connection with your readers as it enables them to find out more about you.

6. What I Love About My Home City - I recently did a post called 'What I Love About London', which is the city I grew up in (and live in now).

7. Recipes - Made something delicious recently? Write a post about it!

8. Haul - A haul is basically a shopping spree whereby you share the products you bought on your blog (or vlog). Beauty Hauls tend to go down well.

9. Wishlists - Ideal for Christmas and will mean that you don't actually have to go out and buy anything.

10. Gift Guides - These are also popular around Christmas, when people need inspiration for presents to get for their loved ones.

11. Bucket List - What are the top 5 countries you want to visit?

12. Favourite Blogs - Are there any blogs you really enjoy reading? Why not share them on your own blog?

13. Photo Diaries - If you don't feel like writing, why not upload photos from a recent event or holiday instead?

14. Advice - Examples include ways to save money at uni, how to cope with a mental illness, or changing schools.

15. Tags / Award - For example, The Liebster Award or The Netflix Tag. These are particularly good for newer bloggers, who are just starting out.

16. Host a Giveaway - A great way to boost traffic to your blog is to host a giveaway. Most bloggers use Rafflecopter for this.

17. Tutorial or How-to - Are you super talented at something like photography? Share your top tips in a blog post.

18. Guest Post - If you're really struggling with post ideas, you could always get another blogger to write something for your blog?

 

 

What ideas would you add to this list?

5 Things To Do In London This Summer

Hey guys!

We may already be (almost) halfway through the uni summer holiday (what?! How can that be? Some schools haven't even finished yet...) but there are still plenty of things to do in London during the next two months. The city has a whole variety of things on offer this summer, ranging from festivals to beaches (yes, you read that right) to simply lazing in the local park. So grab your friends, family, or even yourself, and be sure do some of the things below:

1. Go to the beach

Don't have enough money / time to jet off to the Caribbean? Well, don't worry - London has come up with the perfect solution: city beaches. Yes, there is such a thing. There are a few dotted around the city, for example in Camden. Here you can lounge on a deckchair or play ping pong, as well as participate in other beach-related activities.

2. Bounce for hours on end

Release your inner child and jump on one of the many trampolines at Oxygen, a trampoline park in Acton. For just £12.50 an hour, this is a great way to keep yourself - or any kids - occupied during the hols. It opens on Monday (that's the 20th) and places are sure to be filled up quickly, so remember to book in advance. Click on the link here to find out more.

3. Go crazy for cereal at Cereal Killer Café

Okay, so £3 may be a bit much for one bowl of cereal, but with the huge range of flavours on offer at Cereal Killer Café, you won't regret it. There are so many different choices at Cereal Killer, including Lucky Charms, Apple Jacks and Estrelitas Mel from Spain. You can even have chocolate or bubble gum milk!

4. Have a picnic

London is well-known for its numerous green spaces, and summer is the perfect time for venturing to one of these for a picnic. Hampstead Heath and Hyde Park are two of my fave locations for having a picnic.

5. Go to a carnival

Notting Hill Carnival is a massive street party that happens in London every year. It always attracts hundreds, if not thousands, of people, and you can taste Caribbean food, watch live bands, and see costumed performers. If you're planning to attend the Notting Hill Carnival, be sure to check out these tips!

  

Have a great summer and feel free to comment if you're planning on doing any of the things I have mentioned!

Hasta luego!
