The Summer Journal


If you can't tell by the fact that this is a mid-week blog post, I'm feeling quite motivated and inspired towards my blog lately. I put more effort into my previous post and hopefully it showed and I loved being able to put a post that I genuinely really enjoyed making. 

The Summer Journal. Will this be a seasonal thing? I don't know, but I wanted to share some things that will happen in the Summer. I think it'll for me to look back to remind me what to do in terms of my blog and YouTube but also it will keep me motivated.

With Summer comes, fun, happiness and bright colours and I want that to show through my posts and videos. I'd really like to make videos and posts that YOU want to see. I want to take a different approach and put even more effort in than I already do to my content online. Recently, uploading three videos a week, one blog post and still worrying about my second channel in the back of my mind has been stressful, especially with school creeping in. It might not sound like hard work but it really is! During Summer, I'll much more time so hopefully, Summer 2014 will be awesome in terms of what I put online!

I'd like to introduce a more beauty/fashion/lifestyle element to my channel/blog. I still will put up the occasional vlog or random post here and there, because they're great, but at the moment I feel like things are a little confusing. 

know people say not to compare yourself to other people and I completely agree, but I think it's great to have other bloggers and vloggers to look up to and help to motivate you to work hard. For example, Lily Pebbles & ViviannaDoesMakeup, write a blog daily and upload fairly often. Zoella is the number one YouTuber that I look up to and seeing her more motivated to her blog and seeing the posts helps me feel motivated too.  

Anyway, back to actual content. I'd like to do more baking, because I think they're a great, simple place to start with creativity. It's easy to film and photograph those types of things.

Hauls, tutorials and other creative kinds of videos are stuff that I LOVE to film so hopefully that will be something I can try and do more. 

Also, my blog is an excuse for more photography and my camera is just one of my favourite things ever! 

As for my second channel, game suggestions would be very helpful! Also, any songs you'd like to see on the keyboard I could try and learn (Although, I'm not the best.) I'd also like my second channel to be a place for more chatty videos so I don't have to throw those out completely!

This post was a bit of a mish-mash which is a bit hypo-critical, but hopefully somewhere within this bucket of words, you understood where I'm coming from! 

If I ever do a 'The Autumn Journal' I promise it'll be WAY more organised than this one!

Question of the blog: What would you like to see as part of 'The Summer Journal'?
