Hello everyone.
Hope you’re all well.
I thought I’d write this post just to show and explain how I’ve been reorganising my Pinterest boards. I love getting organised, although my life doesn’t feel organised at all right now, is that just me or is that how everyone is feeling.
I didn’t know where to start with it all, I never do… But, then I thought my Pinterest, as I get all my ideas and inspiration for everything from there. I believe If I have a Pinterest that’s easy to navigate it will be the help I need to organise everything else in my life.
(Or is this all wishful thinking? We will see!)

So, as you can see I’ve got a variety of different boards. I’ve got boards ranging from season inspo to life inspo. Pinterest is such a good site to start with when you want to organise your life. There’s so many inspirational posts on there for everything you’ve ever needed or wanted.

This is something I have started to look into and want to do some research on. HYGGE is a Danish word that roughly translates to a quality of cosiness that makes a person feel content and comfortable. I want to bring some more calm and contentment into my life and I’ve got some ‘Challenges’ and ‘How to’ posts saved in this board which I can’t wait to look at in more detail.

As you know I’m new to this and when I’ve been looking through Pinterest I’ve come across posts of inspiration and that’s when I created this board. Sometimes I struggle for ideas not just with this blog but with my YouTube as well. We all need a little help at times and I think when you first start something new you need as much help as possible and this helps me.

Where do I start with this board. There’s a bit of everything in here. I’ve got some routine posts to some 30 day challenges. The whole point of this board is to help me get organised in all aspects of my life from daily life to planning the future. Don’t you just love getting organised?!

So, I use Instagram more than any other app really and nothing beats a good aesthetically pleasing page. In this board I have images that I love the look of and would like to recreate myself for either my home Instagram account or my daily/lifestyle account. I want to give you the cosiest vibes when you visit both of my Instagram accounts and these pictures give me that feeling.

This title explains it all really. This is a board full of cleaning tips and ideas. I’m always looking for cleaning tips that will make jobs easier. I always try to plan my cleaning out but there is always something I forget. On here I have posts which tell you daily/weekly/monthly cleaning tasks which is a big help so you don’t waste time cleaning something that doesn’t need to be cleaned as often as other things. Cleaning is a task everyone has to do so why not plan it out ahead and make yourself a list of what you’re cleaning for the day.

These two boards are practically the same. I love separating things into seasons so it would be silly of me not to do that with my Pinterest boards. These boards have all sorts of different things in for each season. I have some playlists and film lists for that time of year (autumn includes Halloween) so if I’m ever looking for something to watch or listen to I can just have a look on there. There’s also some checklists and ‘Must do’ lists on there such as pumpkin picking and lots of baking for Autumn and then ice skating and present ideas for Winter.

Now, one of my favourite boards if not my favourite! Who doesn’t love food and especially at this time of year. As you can tell by the title this board is full of delicious recipes from meals to baking. There’s some very scrumptious looking recipes in this board that I NEED to try this Autumn. I will definitely be making another one of these boards for Winter/Christmas. I’m very hungry now just looking at the pictures of cakes.. the one downside to this board!

Are you ready to organise your Pinterest now? I can’t wait to add more to my boards and also add more boards. You’ve got to love a good organisation and I really believe this is a great place to start.
Hope you all have a lovely week and I’ll speak to you again very soon.

Hello there, Lauren here.

Hope you’re doing well. This is my first blog post (as you can see) so I thought I’d tell you a little about myself and why I have decided to start this blog.

I am 24 years old and I live with my Fiance James and our little bocker Barnie. We bought our home in 2019 and that’s where this all started. I started my Instagram page when we moved in and I’ve not looked back since. I started off by focusing on our home and that’s what my page was all about.

Then in 2020 the pandemic hit and we were forced into lockdown. During them months we had a lot of time on our hands and I turned to YouTube. I spent my days watching vlogs and basically taking a look into people’s lives. That’s when I decided this is actually what I want to do, I want to start my own YouTube channel. So I did.

The beginning of 2021 I took the plunge and posted my first video. It has been hard I’m not going to lie but I think that’s down to working full time and struggling with content ideas. I was finding it hard to come up with video ideas that didn’t involve me spending money (I’m still struggling with that). Also trying to find time to film and then edit the videos to get them out on a certain day is a little stressful.

However, I have taken a step back and I’ve been searching through Pinterest and Etsy to find some ‘social media content’ organisers and I’m ready to get organised and start posting my videos regularly.

That also brings me to my blog. I have had so many content ideas for both YouTube and Instagram but just couldn’t figure out a way to put them ideas out there. Then I came across a blog and then it hit me, that’s what I need to do! Make a blog. So here I am. I’m one of them people that has so many ideas and just needs somewhere to jot them down. I’m also a huge fan of memories whether they’re pictures, videos or in writing .. so why not do them all!

I’m aware it takes a lot of time and effort to keep a blog running and an Instagram and then a YouTube channel on top of that. But this is my dream, this is where I want to be and it is what I enjoy doing. Isn’t that what you’re meant to do with life… What you enjoy?

So that takes me to my 5 year plan. In 5 years time I don’t want to be getting up at 5am to go to work and then be coming home at 11pm. I don’t want to have to cancel plans because of my job and miss out on family events. I want to be doing this. I know it takes time to get to where I want to be and I know it’ll be stressful a long the way. But bringing you cosy content and enjoying day to day life is what I am going to do, and when I put my mind to something I make sure I do everything in my power to make it happen.

I will look back at this post (my first post) every year and be thankful at how far I’ve come. But if I am struggling and it is taking longer than I hope, I will also look back and remind myself why I’m doing this and I will get there eventually.

Thank you so much for reading and thank you for visiting. Hope you all have a lovely day/evening and I will speak to you again soon.
