I've always been creative even as a young girl. I would doodle pictures of women in fashions that I imagined. Arts and crafts were a favorite pastime of mine, especially latch hooking rugs with my grandmother.
As a teen, I took interest in fashion and started sewing my own clothing. That hobby progresses into me making unique, one-of-a-kind outfits for my daughter and I. Years later, I started creating handmade soaps and other bath and body products and decided to go into business for myself. You would always find me selling my soaps at craft shows and markets.
Nowadays, all my creative juices go to cranking out blog posts that hopefully you'll want to read. My day usually starts with me preparing for the day by eating a well-rounded breakfast that usually includes a cup of delicious coffee, of course.
I'm drinking NESCAFÉ® Taster’s Choice® coffee in this new glass jar that looks great. decaf because I can do without having the jitters all day. It's smooth and well balanced and no caffeine.
NESCAFÉ® Taster’s Choice® makes it easy for me because it's done in an instant which leaves more time for creating inspiring stories.
Watch this video of how I make a super easy Mocha right at home. No need for fancy coffee shops!
Tips for Crafting the Perfect Blog Post
1. Know your audience. Know exactly who it is you are speaking to. Who is your reader? What kind of things do they like? If you aren't sure, look at your Google analytics. It will tell you who visits your site the most - that's your audience.
2. Make sure you're writing about something you actually enjoy. If you write a blog post about a topic that you really aren't interested in, your writing will suffer and your readers will see it plain as day.
3. If you are feeling stuck, find inspiration from magazines and websites like Pinterest. This will usually spark creativity and the ideas will begin to flow.

Love the chocochips on top!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tips. I often feel stuck and my blog suffers because of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm a coffee addict and i'm always drinking it at every turn. Nescafe is my band and I don't do decaf cause I'm just gangsta. I carry my coffee even when I leave the house, usually in my Contigo cup. Today, my nail tech bumped into me at the bank and asked - where's your coffee cup? It's that bad!
ReplyDeleteI need to look at my google anay. again because it seems lately more people have been reaching out but they are far off from my intended audience.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE COFFEE!!! YUM! I will check this out.
ReplyDeleteSo many of my blogger boo's are coffee drinkers. I feel like I'm the only one that drinks tea lol. This looks delicious though. I admit, I'm an undercover cafe latte lover, but don't tell anybody.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I never heard of this brand of coffee but glad you enjoyed it. If I do get stuck I have gone to pinterest a lot for inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love coffee!! I might try this out when I get back home. I start slowing down about 2 and need a little pick me up
ReplyDeleteYour photos are amazing. I like that you said know your audience. It is so much easier to create content when you know who you re creating it for.
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestions! Pinterest is awesome for inspiration. I also use questions from readers to make new posts.
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY agree about writing about things that make you happy. Otherwise, what's the point. Yes, blogging is a business, but at the end of the day if there is no joy factor, then it's a time to step back. On another sidebar, making soap sounds so fun! I might give it a try.
