10 in 1 Blogging awards – Second Edition! (part one)

These last two months have been absolutely mind blowing for me and I have been nominated for more awards than I ever thought possible! All I can say is just how unbelievably happy I am and thankful to everyone for nominating me!! I’ve gotten a bit behind on my awards posts so I’m going to repeat what I did last time and join a few nominations together so today I’ll be doing the Vincent Ehindero Blogger Award, the Offshore Blogging award and my two nominations for the Outstanding blogger award. This is going to be quite a long post so enough of my babbling and let’s get started!

A Curly Sue’s Ramblings / A Wanderful Life Blog Tour!! Guest post from Evin!

The ingenious blogger hosting this entire tour is Evin, proud blogger from A Curly Sue’s Ramblings and A Wanderful Life (and Evin also has a design business!!) and instead of doing an interview, I thought it would be fun to get Evin to do a guest post here on Tall Blonde Tales to share some blogging advice, especially considering what a huge success her blogs are! So, let me stop rambling on for no reason and get right to it – here is Evin’s guest post

The Small Joys Tag!

I was going to include this tag in my big awards post, but I just loved the idea of it and thought, because it’s not technically an award, that I’d give it its own special post and this is it. So, a huge thank you to Evin from a Curly Sue’s Ramblings and Meekly Insane from the Sycamore Quill for tagging me in this – I really really appreciate it. It was such a wholesome post to write, so thank you for that! Here are my 15 small joys!

8 in 1 blogging awards post (part two)

Hey everyone! So I’m back with part two of this incredible awards post – every time I think about it I can’t stop smiling. I’m actually quite glad we have to wear masks in public right now because if people could see how much I’m grinning they’d probably think I was crazy … Today I’m going through two Liebster Award nominations and two Ideal Inspiration Blogger awards – thank you all so much for nominating me!!

Pimples, stretch marks and scars – what’s under the filter

’ve wanted to talk about this topic for a while because I feel like it’s so important and it’s something that hits quite close to home for me. Our response to these things that are perfectly normal and part of our bodies/us can have such a detrimental effect on our mental health and our general attitude towards ourselves. Not to mention the damaging impact the opinions of others can have … That’s why today I want to really talk about what’s under the filter – the pimples, skin problems, stretch marks, scars, that little bit of extra insulation, and all the other things we don’t like about our bodies but are pretty normal to have.

8 in 1 blogging awards post!! Part one

My mind is blown because I’ve been nominated for more blogging awards!! I’ve been celebrating the whole week – so thank you so much everyone for nominating me and the constant support. Today, because doing all the awards at once or individually is a bit much, I’m doing 3 of the awards in this post. I hope you enjoy reading my answers to everyone’s questions and congrats to all my nominations!!
