Pinterest Finds

Hello lovelies! 

So I am officially back!!! We finally have internet and I'm super excited that I can finally get back to my normal schedule! Honestly I thought it would take longer to get out internet hooked back up since we had to find a new provider, but thankfully it didn't. I'm not too crazy about our new internet provider (Dish) because they didn't explain to us how it worked till after the two year contract was signed. Sadly I'm not going to be able to use Netflix as much as I'm used to, but I'll be okay, I need to focus on finishing senior year anyway, it's not going to kill me! 

I spent the weekend writing blog posts and so no need to worry I have written enough blog posts to get me back onto my normal schedule this week. This week you'll be getting my first Top Ten Tuesday of the year and a new book review on Wednesday!

Since I just got internet back I haven't been pinning that much, but I do have a few pins to share with you, so here we go!

1. 5 Decluttering Tips for Blogger.
I feel like all bloggers need to read this because we all have so many different things we need to keep organized and sometimes things just get messy. Really messy! So, if you're a blogger, you might wanna take a peek at this and see if it helps!

2. You deserve to heal.
I found this one and sadly it didn't have a source so I had to track down the exact link it's from, thankfully Google Image made that a little easier. I started looking at the website Simple Reminders and I really like it, it's now in my bookmarks for rough days!

3. How to Insert Social Media Icons into Your Email Signature
I'm so happy I found this, it is so much easier to do it this way than having to insert your links into every email you send! Definitely a must read for every blogger!

Like I said I haven't been on Pinterest that much this month, so that's it for today!
Have you found anything interesting on Pinterest lately? Let me know below!

XoXo,

Lori

Liebster Award

Hello lovelies!

I've been nominated for the Liebster Award by Liv at Liv In Progress! If you've never heard of the Liebster Award, the rules are below.

1. Post 11 facts about yourself.

2. Answer the 11 questions created by the person who nominated you, then create your own set for the people who are going to nominate!

3. Choose 11 people (that have under 200 followers) to nominate and link them to your post .

4. Let the people you nominated know they've been tagged. No tag backs!

Since I've been tagged before, I'm only going to answer Liv's questions and nominate 11 blogs, if you want to know facts about me you can take a look at my 25 Things About Your Blogger from last week.

1. Why did you start blogging?

When I first started blogging it was to prove to myself that I could keep a blog going for more than just a few weeks. Then it turned into something I love and I've been doing it for over two years now and I couldn't imagine not blogging.

2. What's one thing you love about yourself?

My eyes. I have hazel eyes, and they're constantly changing colors, one minute they're green and then a second later they'll be blue, it's really cool and it really freaks people out.

3. Where do you do most of your writing?

In bed or sitting at my desk.

4. What are three of your favorite books?

Trail of Secrets by Eileen Goudge

The Tycoon's Daughter by Caitlyn Duffy

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

5. What is your most popular post so far?

My most popular post is 3 Things You Should Think About Before Dyeing Blonde Hair Brunette  from back in 2013. Looking back on that I was so naive to think I could get my hair back to being completely blonde by the end of 2013. It's 2015 and I'm still trying to get the dark out of the ends of my hair, which you can see in the sidebar picture.

6. Who would play you in the movie of your life?

I'm not really sure, maybe Jennifer Lawerence, I have a lot of freckles/moles and so does she, plus we're both from Kentucky.

7. Do you have any long-term goals for your blog?

My long-term goals include, buying my URL, continuing to grow my followers, and to continue working with and to work with more authors, companies, and small businesses.

England, Canada, Germany, and Australia.

Blogmas Day 15: Pinterest Finds

Hello lovelies,

I hope you had a great weekend! My weekend was probably the best weekend I've had in a while. Most of that can be contributed to the fact that I was still on cloud nine from getting accepted to UE last week!

This week I have a lot to do, I have a lot of schoolwork to finish up this week, three finals, two English papers, and three quizzes! Like I said, it's a lot, but I can do it! I also want to get some blog work in there, I have so many changes coming up and I can't wait to share it with you!

Before I get into this months Pinterest Finds, I want to take a moment to ask your opinion on something. Do you prefer how I usually do my monthly Pinterest finds with pictures to every link, or do you like how I did this post with links, explanations, and only one or two photos?

 Please let me know below!

1. Mostly Morgan: 44 Things I Learned My Freshman Year of College

Last Thursday, after I got my acceptance letter to UE of course I started looking at the college section on Pinterest! While looking at the College section I found a new blog that I'm loving right now! It's called Mostly Morgan , if you're interested in blogging, college life, or health & beauty, I would definitely recommend you check out her blog!

2. Be A Sticker Stickler

I've been trying to eat healthier lately and I found this and I thought it might help others who are trying to eat healthier!

3. 5 Crispy Alternatives to the Potato Chip

Keeping with the healthy theme, I found this link for healthy alternatives to chips. I really want to try  the kale chips, so many people love them and I really need to eat more veggies and fruits!

 I also like the bacon chips even though they really aren't that healthy!

4. A Little Bit of Inspiration

That's it for this month's Pinterest Finds, I hope you found something that interests you! What have you been loving on Pinterest lately?

XoXo,

Lori

11 Questions from Lucy

1. What's your favorite thing about blogging?

I love the community, I'm usually very anti-social and I don't like talking to people I don't know, but the blogging community has helped me open up, and I've met so many amazing people because of it.

2. If you had to choose fashion or beauty items?

Definitely beauty, I like fashion, but I'm not as obsessed with it.

3. Favorite brand of lipstick?

I don't wear lipstick often, I usually stick with lip balm, but when I do use lipstick it's usually CoverGirl or Wet N Wild.

4. Favorite fashion brand?

I love going to Cato's, I can always find something there, my body is very hard to dress so it's nice to have a store like Cato's that makes clothes for women with curves.

5. Favorite beauty brand?

Clinique, they are my go-to for skincare and makeup.

6. Is there anything you don't enjoy about blogging?

The only thing I don't like is the competition. A little competition is good, but sometimes other bloggers can take it too far and it can make blogging hard to do.

7. Dream job?

I have a lot of different interests, but my number one dream job is to being a full-time writer. I'm planning on going to college for Psychology and Web Design, I like to keep busy so having something else that I can do at the same time makes me happy.

8. Who is your favorite blogger and why?

I don't think I have a favorite blogger, I follow so many amazing blogs that I really can't choose. Right now I'm loving The College Prepster, A Little Seersucker Sass, and Memphis Made.

I LOVE MakeupByTiffanyD, she was the first Youtuber I ever watched, I've been watching her for about five years and she just keeps getting better.
