One of the questions I often get asked is how do I keep coming up with ideas? And my answer is always “I’m just an ideas person”. And while that’s very true, it wouldn’t make a very good blog post would it? So I’ve decided to break it down and explain the process of how I plan and create content. …

Seasonal Hashtags to use this month! #stylingtheseasons – Think florals, everything Spring and Summer. Get outdoors, capture what’s above you. Or bring the outdoors in.

I can’t believe we are almost approaching two years of hashtag challenges. When I first created the #autumnhashtagchallenge I didn’t think a single person would join in, but since then we have had thousands of entries, lots of different challenges and we’ve created a wonderful community.
