Let's Get Social ♥

Hello! I thought I would write a different kind of post today, I would say this is another blogging tip post, one of the more exciting and productive tips I could give any blogger, two words.. SOCIAL MEDIA! I have had so many brilliant opportunities arise from social media, such as Twitter, Instagram and Lookbook. 

Twitter

In my opinion Twitter should be every Blogger's wing man (or wing woman?... whatever). Personally, it has been the best way of getting myself noticed and getting some credit for my blog posts, even from the brands I am writing about. If you don't have a Twitter account for your blog then I highly recommend you create one, it takes seconds to set up and once you get going it is so easy to keep on top of. Even if you just post general day to day tweets, witty tweets or just about your latest blog posts, it is a great way to widen your audience and show off your personality to everyone. Since having twitter I have won competitions by simply retweeting and favouriting companies tweets. I have even had companies contact me and tell me how much they have loved my latest blog posts about their products and offered me to review some products for them. 

Just remember to keep a border line, nobody likes it when people keep tweeting and demanding attention to their blog every 5 minutes, if your tweet gets noticed, great, if not, don't give up just keep doing what your doing, you'll get noticed eventually! Another great thing about Twitter is you meet so many lovely people through it, I have become friends with quite a few bloggers recently, it's great, everyone has the same interests and ideas.

Instagram

I don't use my Instagram as much for my blog, I don't have my blog linked in it as nobody from my town knows it exists, however, I still put up most of my blog pictures and have it linked on my blog page. I love it for following my favourite fashion and beauty bloggers and letting you all see parts of my life which aren't just beauty products.

Here are all my social media links, don't forget to add yours in the comments below, I love seeing all your Instagram's and Tumblr's!

Home Inspiration ♥❀

Helloooo, todays post is something I was reserving for a day I couldn't physically take photos for a post.. I am in bed full of the cold and feeling sorry for myself so after reading blogs all day, watching YouTube on my PS3 with their new YouTube app(you pair your phone with your PS3 and your phone is the controller, I LOVE IT!), I decided it was time to blog! I hope you like this post!

I am obsessed country house style, my mum likes it too, which is good because we both can shop for the same kind of decor, anything floral, pretty and chic I love. So this post is just a few pretty and inspirational home decor pictures from Tumblr I hope you like them!

If you have Tumblr and like this kind of style too then check out mine, I update it all the time :) shabbychicandtea.tumblr.com

 NONE OF THESE PICTURES ARE MINE x

Tumblr anyone?

Do any of you have Tumblr? If you do then leave your URL in a comment and I will check it out, I am always looking for new pages to follow! I think Tumblr is such a good get away place, where you can get such inspiration. I think it has better pictures than typing a search into Google, I often find myself going onto Tumblr to find an Image for something instead of Google. I change my URL constantly but I think that having it the same as my blog will hopefully make me keep it this time! Here is a screenshot of my page if you are interested in having a browse through its pictures :). shabbychicandtea.tumblr.com

New Year again!

Everyone always has New Years resolutions, like 'don't eat so much junk food', 'get fitter', 'keep everything neat and tidy' 'do better in school'.. the list goes on but I think that for me, my New Years resolution is to just be happier, not think so much about future at all and just live for the now and not over think life. I think that to start the year and go onto deciding to go to the gym more and keep healthy you need to have a strong and stress free head, because then you can be ready for new things and take each day as it comes. I hope everyone has a lovely New Year and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, feel free to link any Christmas/NewYear posts you have done on your blog below:)! x

What is your New Years resolution? :)
