5 Posts I've Been Lovin' Recently | Episode 9

Whenever it's time to write another one of these, I'm always so surprised, because I feel like I just wrote one of these posts. Time has been flying so quickly, and Halloween will be here before you know it! I'm already planning my costumes for Halloween, and I'm beyond excited. Do you guys know what you're going to be for Halloween? If you do, please let me know in the comments down below!

Today I'm here with you with five posts I've been loving recently, so let's get right into it!

The Toxic Side of the Blogging Community

While I feel like blogging has done way more good than bad in my life, there are definitely positive and negative aspects to the blogging community. Megan does a great job at expressing what those negatives. I really felt like I could relate to what she had to say, and just thought it was a great read!

Packing Tips: Backpacking

Now, I have never gone backpacking, and I don't know if I'm ever going to do it (I'm a terrible over-packer), but I found this post so interesting. Kate is an amazing travel blogger, and write about more than the usual location posts. If you're interested in backpacking one day or maybe want to learn how to store more things in your backpack, definitely check her post out!

How to Gain Confidence Chatting to the Camera

I am someone who's been trying to gain a following on Instagram (if you don't follow me on Instagram I'm @heyyitsmelina), and the one tip everyone who has a following has been giving me is to GO MAKE INSTAGRAM STORIES. Now I used to vlog a little bit, but I've become quite rusty and just feel a little self-conscious about talking to my phone in public.

This post that Esther created had some amazing tips to try to help gain confidence when talking to a camera. If you're in the same predicament as me, I would definitely give this post a read!

How to Make the Switch to Natural Deodorant

Now I didn't know until recently that the aluminum found in the deodorant can cause cancer! It's actually super harmful for you, and has some other long-term damaging effects on the body. Since then, I've been trying to gather information on which type of deodorant I SHOULD buy.

This post was super helpful, because it talks about detoxing from your normal deodorant, and gave a few recommendations on which ones you should try out!

What It’s Actually Like To Move To The Other Side Of The World

Now I always find posts like these super interesting to read. Helene in Between wrote a post like it once, and since then, I've been hooked to reading other people's stories on moving across the world/moving to a different country.

In Chloe's story, it wasn't actually her choice. Her father had gotten a business opportunity in New Zealand, and her family decided to take the opportunity and move there! I don't want to give too much away, because I actually want you to read the article, but it's definitely worth the read!

Well there you have it! Those are the posts I've been loving recently. Some of you were asking for more posts than usual, and I ended up adding not one more post, but two! I hope it wasn't too long of a read, and as always I hope you find a new favorite blogger or maybe an article that has interested you!

Sending you love, strength, and positivity.
