Super excited to tell you what the niche is

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆2 Comments

I saw a question that made me think really hard.. Why you chose your blogging niche? well to be honest, I have been blogging for many years, different blogs, different names etc and  I have been all over. Blog chaos, no red thread to follow etc. Which I might struggle with on this blog as well (atleast I struggle with my bad grammar – I’m sorry!) but why did I really picked my niche?

(cartoon filter on)

well to be honest lifestyle suits me best because I wanna have a place where I can share my experience, news (good and bad) and have just a place to write on. Lifestyle for me is huge in the category but the best part you do not need one special niche. I love photography but I also love beauty and skincare and having lifestyle as a niche I will be able to post that instead of just focusing on ONE TOPIC. Now I will not have many topics in this blog. Maybe 4 or 5. lifestyle ~ (and daily life) photography, parenting (autism), beauty/skincare, mental health and inspirational posts.

For me important subjects are important to share  such as raising awareness about mental health, bullying and autism . How to help, work and go through it. In today’s society it’s (at least where I live) a taboo to talk about these things and I have been through shit tons of things so I know a lot.

Photography ~ share photographs I’ve taken, share info and try keep my spirit up for photography (as you might have notice I always have at lease one photo on each post. taken by me or borrowed) . Share for my adventures, fun moments etc.

Parenting ~ As you know, I’m a mother to a boy named E who has a severe case of Autism. Autism level 3 and is non verbal. // I will share his progress, development and steps forward to the future. Not to seek attention or what so ever but to just remember the moments.

Beauty / Skincare ~ my Instagram has a lot of posts of beauty & skincare but in here I will just include some looks when I wear, information etc. Updates on beauty / skincare part will be on instagram, just like some lifestyle (will update LS on here)

Inspirational posts ~ Everyone need to motivation and inspiration in their life and iam here to share both quotes etc I have written myself and those I found online.

so now you all know why I picked my blogging niche(sorta know. it’s hard to explain). What is your blog niche?

September goals | Blog, Life and weightloss ● nervous but excited

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment

September is coming up and it goes fast! Wow. Can’t believe that it’s soon September and only 3 months left of 2024. That’s crazy!

I was thinking of making a small list every month (motivation/goals) list. You can join me as well 🥰 Let me know if you join this idea!

September 2024 goals ●●● BLOG RELATED; Grow so I reach 10 followers ● Blog at least once per day ~ if time, Blog two posts or more ● Share more photographs I take ●●● LIFE RELATED; Weightloss = gym at least twice per week. If time, try three ● -2kg (explaining this below) ●●●

sounds like a small little list that I hopefully can achieve 🥰 Looking forward to see the list at the end of September 🥰 Maybe you wanna join and make your own list of goals per month? Fun!

-2kg part; long story short. I was hysterical of losing weight two years ago when I lost so much in weight on 3 months. My brain didn’t follow the speed as my body shrunk and that wasn’t good. I was a maniac, I barely ate just to lose weight etc. Before my goals were 50kg on 5 months for an example.  So now I’m trying to calm my head and take it slow.

I’m focused and determined to overcome my big fear

One of my biggest fears is people staring at me. Im a big plus size person who has an illness called PCOS which makes me big and have harder time to lose weight. I have seen so many videos on instagram where big people has recorded themselves at the gym and people around is laughing, pointing etc. I have also seen when big people work out and trying really hard been secretly recorded and shared online. That’s a fear of mine. The laughs, pointing and secretly being recorded and shared online..

So one of my goals is to try go to the gym 3 – 4 times a week, both to work on my health (and mental health) but also push myself onto situations that scares me. Trying to overcome the fear and get out of my comfort zone. It’s a hard thing but I’m trying and it’s even hard to workout when my husband is working out but I’m trying. Why do I think it’s hard? judgement. Even if it’s my husband.

Only downside with me working out (other than the sweat is sweating)  is that every time I get a massive headache that last for hours. No matter how much water I drink. Today I drank 1,5 liter water at the gym trying to avoid the headache but it didn’t work. So I don’t know what to do to be honest to avoid the headache (other than stop going to the gym)

Today’s session ☆☆☆ Treadmill; 60 minutes (highest lvl pace; 6) ● bike; 5 minutes (today my knee didn’t let me do bike).

short session but it’s better than nothing. This week I have been to the gym twice (yesterday and today) and I will be back. lol! I’m forcing myself!

Do you have any inspirational saying or quotes that can help me stay on track?
