Yesterday I reflected on my 2017 goals and today I want to focus more on the blogging side of things.
Last week I sent out an email to all of the brands I’ve worked with this year, thanking them for supporting the blog and giving them a heads up about what to expect in 2018. I also thought they’d be interested to see what blog posts have been the most popular this year. Curious? Check them out:
1. Tried and tested: Life Planner from Unique Planners by Pirongs
2. Why you should support small businesses this Christmas [gift guide and £200+ giveaway]
3. Tried and tested: Th[ink] dot grid notebooks from Creoly
4. Book review: Personalised My Golden Ticket from Wonderbly [+ giveaway]
5. National Stationery Week 2017: Fountain Pen Friday [Lamy AL-star review and giveaway with Cult Pens]
6. Using my bullet journal to organise my blog
7. SherbertBox review (Honey Bee – August 2017)
8. Self-Care Sunday #22 and a spa day giveaway!
9. National Stationery Week 2017: Pen and Pencil Day [Fox + Star review and giveaway]
10. An epic Sainsburys stationery sale haul
I made an unconscious move this year to focus more on books and stationery – and you can expect to see more of the same next year. But I’m still passionate about lifestyle posts and they can be my favourite to write. Here’s a look at ten posts I’m particularly proud of:
1. An alternative 30 before 30 list
3. How do you define yourself?
5. Simple daily self-care tips for new mums
6. Why politics matters to me – and why it should matter to you
7. 12 things I’ve learned in 12 years of blogging
8. Five of my favourite stationery websites
9. Introducing young readers to classics
As for 2018, I don’t want to give everything away, but I’m hoping that 2018’s National Stationery Week coverage will be my biggest yet (I’m even booking the week off work!) and I’ll be launching my first 12 Days of Christmas giveaways, as well as celebrating other nerdy events throughout the year.
If you’d like to let me know what you’d like to see more/less of, do leave a comment.
