My Top Blogs and Vlogs To Watch or Read

Aside from writing blogs and producing content for my soon to be developed youtube channel, I love to watch others. I thought I would share with you my favourite ones to watch and read.

One of my favourites has to be Fleur De Force, first and foremost her blog reviews are really detailed and insightful to read. I have tried products she has reviewed and loved them. Her youtube channel is fun with a lot of varied content. I find them very interesting to watch.

The next one is Becky from TalkBeckyTalk I find her videos really interesting. She has made me want to try new flavoured teas from her love of tea.

Holly is a rather new addition to my watch and read list, partly because she is Becky's sister. I love her videos because she is quirky and really quite comical to watch. I have never really come across anyone quite like her really on youtube.

My last one is called Teen CP I really like this one, because it has a community feel to the way it is written and produced by people with Cerebral Palsy. I really love the experiences shared because it shows both sides of the reality - the medical combined with the fun. It is one that I have found to really relate to personally.

My favorite apps for social media and blogging

I recently wrote a post about my Everyday Survival Kit. I thought I would extend the post and write about my favourite apps for social media and blogging that I use on my iPad and iPhone on a daily basis.

1. Facebook
It is one of the simplest social media apps to use, I use this to check my news feed and post my photos and immediate statuses. I think it is also a really good app to start with as a beginner.

2. Twitter
I use this to check the news feed on the go.

3. Instagram
Easy to use and a great way to edit photos. It also allows me to post to my Twitter and Facebook (and Tumblr but that's more for personal use).

4. Blogger
I love this app as this allows me to quickly upload my photos of my blogs quickly and when I am really busy write my posts on the go.

5. Hootsuite and Buffer
My schedule app for my facebook personal account, facebook page and Twitter feeds and Google+ and Linkedin.

6. Pages
This app I access the messages for my page.

What are your favourite apps?

Three Life Lessons from Mum

I have recently finished university and I find myself reflecting on my life so far, to see what I can learn as I head into the world of full time work. I find myself seeing how much I have learned and grown in particular during my degree and the ones I learned the most from are my parents.
I thought I would write it each in a letter to the said person and make it into a series about life lessons.

Dear Mum,
I have always known that you are my best friend in this world, but I think we never realised how much you have taught about life. I think the first and most important lesson is to never ever give up, because there is always a way to muddle through the madness of life. I don't know whether this stems from the fact that you and Pops did not give up on me as a child when you were told I had tough times ahead. Or the fact that I can be a cow some of the time and take it all on the chin. This is the greatest lesson you have ever taught me because it has developed ambition to go into this job search with a mind full of ideas looking for the right opportunity.

I think the second one I think I am still learning to not take criticism or what people think to heart. It is a tough one that I hope will be more consistent as I grow older and meet more people, but every time I do it reminds me that as corny as sounds that friends come and go but family is always there regardless. I think that it has made me more willing in admitting I occasionally need help to get back on top, regardless of the amount of times I refuse help from you sorting through my possessions. I t has made realise criticism can be turned into a strength.

The third is becoming easiest and that is trust to my gut and my instinct, especially when yours is almost always right. If yours can, why can't mine?

Thank you for all the life pointers or lessons so far and those to come.

Love Kat xx
