3 Coding Tricks to Improve Your Blog {inspired}

Hello all! As I was browsing Bloglovin' last week, I came across Chaitra (from PinkPot)'s blog post about using CSS to improve the look of your blog, and I was inspired to add to her post by writing my own.

Staying Matte Where it Counts (Pore Minimizer)

Lately there's been a large trend surrounding dewy/glowing skin, and I think it's a beautiful look on certain people, but oddly enough, it looks terrible on me ('oddly' because I have dry skin, I should be living for this trend).

Five Reasons You Should Start a Blog

For a really long time I had always wanted to talk about my thoughts, my life, and my general views on everything but I always told myself that no one would listen. There are a million and one YouTube channels out there, there are five million and one blogs out there; who would care about mine? It isn't a cynical or a negative way to think, it's just a realistic approach to putting yourself out there, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks, or has thought this.
