5 Posts I’ve Been Lovin’ Recently | Episode 11

Hey guys, how are you doing? Today, I'm going to start off the year right, and share with you some of my favorite posts in the last two months! I've read so so many blog posts, and so as always it's a little difficult to just choose a few, but let's get right into it!

My Gal Pals Are Great – Here’s Why

I've been following Michelle from the beginning of my blogging career. She's been such a source of inspiration. She's a seasoned blogger, so when I read her blog, I felt like that's the vibe I want to give people when they read my blog. She's so easy going, and she writes blog posts the old fashion way (that's a good thing). It's not necessarily an editorial magazine online, she writes from the heart, and while she's super aesthetically pleasing, it's not the only thing her blog is. This post is no different.
I love my girl friends so so much, and for those of you who are either upset to be single, or just need a quick read to tell you how AMAZING your girl gang is, this is the post for you. I definitely recommend checking her out in general, because her blog is amazing! To read the post, you can click on the title of the post, or here.

Saying Goodbye to Childhood Friendships

Charlotte is another great blogger, and in this post she talks about saying goodbye to childhood friends. When we were younger, we were all naive enough to think that the friends we had at that point, were going to be the friends we've had forever.

At the same time, we all know now that it's not always the case. In the post, Charlotte speaks very whimsically about the topic. It's a deep and personal post, and it's written in such a beautiful way. On top of that, it ends in a positive way! I definitely recommend checking out her blog and reading this post, which you can click here to read.

7 Ways Alexa Makes Our Lives Easier

Now I just realized that two of these posts had something to do with friendship, so I'm going to take this to the complete opposite side of the spectrum, and talk a little about Alexa. No, I'm not talking about an actual person, we're talking about the Amazon's little robot slave called Alexa.

I read this post, and I was actually super impressed with the things that the Alexa had the capability to do! I thought the commands you can give her were super simple, so I was more than surprised when I found out that wasn't the case. It was a super interesting read, so I really recommend giving it a read, which you can do so here!

about the latest school shooting

This post was written right after the shooting in Florida happened. I was upset, I was outraged, I felt helpless, I had so many feelings, and Taylor's post on this topic was something that really stood out for me. There were so many people creating tweets, the kids from the shooting were giving speeches, and while the kid's speeches put me to tears, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Taylor's post.

In America, we have come to a point of living, where mass shootings have become the norm. As terrible as it is to say, it's the truth.

Taylor grew up in a household with guns, so it was super interesting to see her perspective on the issue. This problem has not been solved, and just because time has passed, does not mean that we should just stop talking about it. I really recommend reading this post, it's amazingly written. You can click here to do so.

ON BEING THE FLAKY FRIEND (SORRY, DON’T HATE ME)

on boing the flaky friend (sorry, don't hate me).png

Most of you guys know that I love Chloe by now. She's literally one of my favorite writers. She has such a way with words, and I literally read almost every single blog post she has, even if the topic doesn't interest me!
In this post she talks about being the flaky friend that's either always 10 mins or more late, or the one canceling the day beforehand. She goes on throughout the rest of the post explaining why flaky people are the way they are! It's super interesting, and at some points I can completely relate! It's a great post that deserves your time. You can check it out here.
Well here are all the posts I've been reading and loving recently! It's not just these posts I love from these bloggers, I honestly read them all on a daily basis, and so you can check out their blogs too!

As always, thank you for reading! I hope you have a wonderful day/night. Sending you love, strength, and postivitiy.

    I love posts like this! It gives me the opportunity to check out some really great bloggers that I may not have come across naturally. I created a post of my favorite blogs too. I'm actually going to check out all your recommendations and I just noticed that you made this a series on your blog. Looks like I know what I'll be doing for the next 30 minutes LOL. Thanks for sharing Melina!

    I love when you put these posts together. Sometimes I think it's really difficult to come across new bloggers (despite there being so many), and it's nice to see what's out there and what people are focusing on. I read Chloe's post because I have some flaky friends, and wanted to get the other perspective. xx

      I feel the same exact way! I wish my favorite bloggers would talk about their favorite bloggers, so I could find ones that I genuinely enjoy, will engage with, and build a relationship with! While there are so many bloggers out there, and lots of them are super talented in what they do, there are still some that I prefer to read over others!
      I hope you enjoy reading them 🙂 xx
