No selfies this week 😦

Hello everyone ! Just a little update to let you know that I am still sick, but getting better. I’m in an excellent mood, even though being ill is awful, I’m spending my days watching amazing movies from the 60’s and earlier on; I am absolutely in love with old movies. I should be back on my feet next week, for sure. Don’t worry, it’s passing and soon gone.

I read an interesting post on LinkedIn yesterday, saying that most blogs “suck” because they’re not dedicated to something in particular, and so readers get confused & bored. I think it’s probably right & I admit my blog is kinda about (too) many things, which could potentially make people wonder “what the hell I’m about”. Well, it’s a personal blog, which means I’ve never really thought it would become much. I’ve enjoyed sharing whatever I wanted, just because I could. Also I’m a very messy person in real life, it’s obvious that trait of my personality translates itself online.

But I am about three main things actually… Above everything, I’m a photographer who dreams of becoming a filmmaker. Then, I’m a hardcore Geek who is the Founder & Editor-in-Chief of Geekland mag, an online magazine that allows me to attend Comic Cons as a reporter. Lastly, I’m super girly and addicted to wellness so I just adore talking about these things a lot. Until yesterday I’ve never considered that my blog could be where I showcase my main points to help me achieve more. To me, my blog was more about trying out experimental ideas or projects and showing EVERYTHING that I’m into. Not long ago, I wrote how I wanted to expand even into more activities.

It’s time to calm down, and chill back… relax whatever I need, to focus on my real objectives. That’s definitively what I should be about on this blog. I’m a messy person, except when it’s connected to work, then I’m extremely professional. I’m gonna continue bettering myself no matter what path I choose to follow, that means the content will not suffer. Maybe that’s the change I needed, because last year when I totally “burned out” and put my blog on a break, it had all to do with the fact that I was doing too much & I couldn’t deal anymore. I learned from my mistakes by allowing myself more free time and a flexible blogging schedule, but see, it still took me time to figure out the underlying issue which is, I’m losing myself when I try to be on every front. I’m relieved as I think from now, it will be more centered & meaningful.

I need to write this in capital letters “THE BLOG IS BACK”, and I am too. 100% ready to rock it ! Maybe before today, I was only back 65% of my actual potential.

There’s progress

We’re getting there, this is the final plan

As you can tell on those pics, I am looking extremely moody… the reason is that even though I have made a lot of personal progress regarding the way I blog, and trying to post every project I have in mind each week, I am still struggling over my schedule.

The schedule I made weeks ago is pretty easy to manage, except if I am traveling. Oddly enough, I did not take account of that, which is a total fail from my part because I completely overlooked the fact that I go on trips almost every week.

Mistakes have been made… but they are already being corrected. I am changing my habits a little bit, since I came to the conclusion that scheduling posts is the best plan. From now on, most of the things you will see, will have been scheduled a week or two ago.

I enjoy blogging “live” and I will continue to do so, but because of how busy and tired I get when I’m traveling, I am not able to post five days a week like it is my wish. I want to share my adventures, and the things I work on all weekdays.

There’s many stuff I leave out when I don’t do so. It’s really important for me to fix that, and go forward by learning from my mistakes. I believe it will also be more enjoyable for you, to see more organized content from me.

I want to thank you for your patience, for staying loyal followers despite the big break The Blog underwent last year, and my experimental blogging methods over the last months.

I admit I got bored with the idea of blogging, but couldn’t bring myself to give it up, and with other things happening in my life, it became a mess. It’s better now though, and let’s cross our fingers that it continues to improve in the future !

Birthday party

The selfies you haven’t seen

I posted some pictures from the party on Tuesday, that I also shared on Snapchat, but these are exclusives for The Blog ! I took those selfies for fun, and never intended for anyone to see them, until I realized they weren’t that bad 🙂

My Snapchat Adventures – Summer vacation in Serbia

Almost three months since my last video recap… so many things happened in my life during that time, and I shared all I could live on Snapchat ! I love that app so much, it’s really fun 🙂 I made a summary of it, in the video below, for everyone who doesn’t have Snap or is too lame not to follow me there (I’m just kidding). But really, hope you enjoy 😛 I didn’t share everything I posted on it, because some things are exclusive just for my Snapchat followers, but most of it is finally available for everyone else to see !

My sister’s birthday party

An evening to remember 🙂

Here’s a couple Snapchat stills I took at my sister’s birthday party… everything was perfect that evening ! From my outfit, to my makeup and hair on point. I had so much fun, it was one of the most enjoyable time spent with my family. I wore a dress from Guess, shoes from Forever 21, ring from Nordstrom and nailpolish by Yves Saint Laurent.
