The Brunette Journaler

So for starters on my new topic Lifestyle I thought I might introduce y'all to a few really good lifestyle blogs and bloggers to visit online. (Probably because they are way better than me at lifestyle blogging)

You might be thinking, what exactly is 'Lifestyle blogging'? Well I didn't really know in the first place but once I got into it, it was a really uplifting way to encourage yourself using your day to day life and strengthening those normal lifestyle things, whether worries, mom questions or how to's.

So the google definition is: A way in which a person or group lives. A lifestyle blog is about one persons individual life, such as events that have happened in their life, their kids, spouse, family, vacations, just things that they want to share with the world.

Starting off: Barefoot Blonde  by Amber Fillerup. She focuses a lot on family, hair, and fashions. To me she puts a lot in about her personal life and expands a lot on important events in her family.

Motivation seems to be a big part in my life: Whether its from folding a mountain of clothes or trying to come up with ideas for a new blog post, I constantly find myself needing something to speed me up or get me started.

So I decided to come up with some ideas to help y'all along if you find yourself in the same boat as me. :)


"Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice."
-Wayne Dyer


1. Remind yourself why you want to do something.
When you remind yourself of this you tell yourself, 'what do I have to look forward to in finishing this?' You sort of set a goal mentally, but instead of planning and preparing, you automatically say, 'Yeah, I want that reward.'

3. Start small if starting big makes you procrastinate, or the other way around.
If a big project makes you procrastinate, then desize it. Don't overwhelm yourself. If you do a lot of small things, then you may find yourself doing to many things at once. Find what your comfort zone is, and use it to lessen the weight of the project and motivate you to work harder.
