10 of my favourite blogs to follow

What is Blogging?

"A blog is a frequently updated online personal journal or diary. It is a place to express yourself to the world. A place to share your thoughts and your passions. Really, it’s anything you want it to be....."

I have been blogging on and off for a while and LOVE it! Its my way of being able to fulfil a hobby, a way to release any thoughts or feelings and a way of having fun. So when I decided to ask my four awesome sisters to join me in this hobby they all agreed and WOOLAA we have created this little space on the internet to share our likes our dislikes, DIYS or more like failed attempts, our travels and our wishlists... I think you get the idea! Are we unique?... some may say blogging with your 4 sisters makes you unique but honestly there are so many bloggers out there and well I want to dedicate this post to share with you 10 of my favourite bloggers which you should check out!

LIFESTYLE BLOGS

NO#1

"Hello there, I’m Poppy.
I’ve very, very recently just moved back to Brighton after not living here for almost four years – spending three years studying Fine Art and then one year living in Central London, I’ve finally decided to head back. I’ve been dwelling on the idea of a space where I can curate my images and ramble to myself for what feels like forever now, and after months of planning my site is finally ready to show you all!. If you are a lover of food, travel, art, and most importantly people, I would love for you to join me on this journey. Posts will be going up every Wednesday and Sunday at 5pm!"

I love following this blog, Its full of beautiful pictures, lots of yummy food recipes to try and a great read. If you like all things lifestyle you'd love this!

NO#2

"My name is Zoe, I’m 26 years young and a writer and enthusiast of all things “Beauty, Fashion and Life” related. Once Upon A Time, In February 2009, after indulging in various other Beauty Blogs as a way to read up on the latest goings on in the Beauty world, I decided to join in on one very boring evening, and “Zoella” was born......I chose to write about the things I liked, the things I felt passionate about and share my love of photographs. Before long, I had a small following of people that enjoyed reading what I’d written, and this was amazing in itself, as really,  Months and years passed, and the following grew to millions (somehow). Now my little space under the name “Zoella” has expanded to YouTube with weekly videos and daily ramblings on two channels “Zoella” and “MoreZoella”

I have been watching 'Zoella' youtube videos on and off for a while now and when I came across her blog I instantly fell in love with a) the design and b) the content. I would say honestly I am not into make-up all that much BUT I do wear it and love reading product reviews......

TRAVEL BLOG

NO#3
"I’m Rosie, a roaming blogger who’s lucky enough to call London home. I fill these pages with my life & adventures. It all started as a way to stay in touch with friends & family but it soon grew and now I have readers who I consider my extended friends & family all over the world."

Sometimes I feel like I take living in the UK for granted and how lucky we are to have London as our Capital! I wouldn't go as far to say that I'd want to live in London... but day trips are the best. This lady has some great reviews!

SISTER BLOGGERS

NO#4

"Sister’s, never were there such DEVOTED SISTER’S. We feel as though we are the luckiest girls in the world to live down the street from one another. There is nothing better than a built in best friend, and we’ve lived this to the fullest! Together we want to show you our passion for the three F’s: our families, fashion, and food. Although we agree on so many things such as diet coke is better with ice, cherries, and a little coconut, we feel as though we are two individual personalities striving to better ourselves on this crazy journey we call LIFE."

I think its fair to say these two sisters are totally awesome! I love their blog, these sister blogs inspired me to start a blog with my sisters... its so much fun working on something together. Go check them out!

NO#5

"Welcome to A Beautiful Mess! We're Elsie Larson and Emma Chapman. We're sisters. Together we own A Beautiful Mess, a women's lifestyle company focused on creating happiness every day through a homemade lifestyle. On this blog we share home decor projects, recipes, and crafts, as well as bits of our life here in the Midwest."

These two sisters certainly know how to blog, I love their colourful blog design. If you're looking for crafts you'll find some amazing ideas on this blog... Who doesn't love a new craft project.

NO#6

"Hey Guys! If we were in the Spice Girls we’d be Ginger, Sporty and Baby..but to our friends (and everyone else we know) we are Hannah, Bethany and Rebekah. And we are the Bistas! 3 sisters, 3 countries, 3 pieces of tape! We appreciate good eyebrows, pretty little liars, tie dye everythang, pizza and crazy adventures! We wanted to start this blog to share our loves, life and all the fun in between that we experience being 3 sisters and best friends seperated by distance but never by heart."
I love these girls and their blog, they also have a youtube channel you should be sure to check them out! 3 sisters in 3 different countries... how amazing is that!

COUNTRY BLOGS

NO#7

"I’m Claire. A self-confessed wine-slurping city girl with lots of high heels, no wellies and a real dread of rain. My fiancĂ©, Jim, and I are ditching the Sydney rat race for a ‘tree change’ in the good old British countryside. Our very spoiled pug, Winston, is coming along for the ride too.Travelling through Asia before our new life of chocolate box cottages, bluebell woods, rain and lots of mud begins. What *ahem* could possibly go wrong?Bringing you the best of travel, food, country life and lessons learned along the way."

One day I would love to live within the countryside, with my cosy log burner and front garden with a picket fence, I guess the cottage from 'The Holiday' comes to mind! This ladies blog is amazing! What a life change.

NO#8
"Welcome to Country Life Experiment!Whether you are here for the home grown, home made food; the tips on living simply; the occasional creative project; or just because you’re a country person at heart (or even if you just wish you were); then this is the place for you!"

I stumbled upon this blog not too long ago and fell in love with the 'freshness' of her blog (if that is even a word)..... You have to try her Lemon and Blueberry Tart HERE!

FOOD BLOGGERS

NO#9
"Hey there! I’m Benjamina – most people call me Benji. I’m a twenty something year old Londoner who loves making pretty cakes and other yummy bakes. I had the privilidge of being one of 12 bakers on the seventh series of The Great British Bake Off and finished as a quarter finalist."

Ok so I know I am not alone in saying 'The Great British Bake Off' is like the best TV show ever! Check out Benjaminas cooking blog for her yummy recipes!

NO#10
"Welcome. Minimalist Baker is a website devoted to simple cooking. All recipes require 10 ingredients or less, 1 bowl or 1 pot, or 30 minutes or less to prepare."

Then last but not least this clever lady and her husband blog about lots of yummy things that don't use tonnes of ingredients or crazy utensils that you never own! I love it!
