Lucie Loves... Lifestyle // 2015 Highlights and blog plans for 2016
I worked out that in 2015 I did 51 blog posts in total – that works out at almost one a week! All that while doing a full-time job, having a social life and planning a wedding (for a short-lived, ill-fated marriage - read this post if you’re not sure what I’m on about.)
Phew! What a year.
To keep on bringing fresh, exciting and relevant content to Lucie Loves readers (and retain a decent work/life/blog balance) I’m expanding my team of contributors. It’s a tough vetting process… and no, I won’t post your infographic or uninspiring content! I run a tight ship.
Interested? Get in touch.
Basically… I’m tapping into some very talented friends of mine and getting their take on events. Being a “lifestyle” blogger, I cover such a wide variety of topics: fashion (womenswear and menswear), food, fitness, art, theatre, culture, travel, lifestyle, and beauty to name just a few!
There are often blog invitations that come through that I cannot respond to, or events that I cannot make, due to already having rsvp’d to something else. And so, instead of missing out on sharing these interesting experiences, I’ve decided to expand my squad, and, in doing so – I hope – my editorial offering too.
I’m looking forward to seeing how 2016 pans out for us all. I think it’s going to be a very exciting year.
Let me know if there’s anything that you’d particularly like to see us review. To collaborate with Lucie Loves, get in touch.
