It’s been raining like crazy down here lately, friends.This weather makes me feel a bit melancholic. I’m stuck in my office or apartment for the most of the time and this really makes me re-evaluate my goals & strategies. I dedicate this season for slowing down but growing further at the same time.

During these 3 wonderful years of blogging full-time, I realised I started to push myself to post more, do more, communicate more, write more, take more pictures, make more connections and the time has come for me to start doing less. Don’t worry, I’m not going away anytime soon! You probably have noticed me posting my time-saving tips & tricks here and there and what can I tell you- they really work!

First of all, I’ve been using these 5 tools for better blog scheduling for a while now & they work like a charm. I’m now able to spend less time on social media & concentrate on bigger projects.

My Free 7-day course: Design Your Own Blog works amazing as a sales funnel and brings me around 100 newsletter subscribers every week without me doing anything at all!

Also, by determining these 10 things I do every day to grow my blog + biz, I realised which parts of my everyday job are important and which ones can wait and be done in a few hours at once. It’s all about setting your priorities right, my friend.

ON THE BLOG:

It’s been a great week here on the blog. On Tuesday, I shared some of my favourite podcasts with you all & got some pretty nice feedback. I love the support that we share in the blogging community!

I also blogged about my experiences in starting an ETSY shop & shared some tips + tricks for those planning to start their online business by opening a shop on Etsy.

As I mentioned last week, I’m now combining my Outfit + Weekly Round-up posts and I really hope you’re going to like the change.

THINGS I LOVE:

This week was all about small wins. As much as I love sharing the work by major bloggers, this week I was seriously obsessed by @robertskimenis Instagram profile. This guy makes Latvia look like a dream country & it truly inspired me to appreciate the beauty of nearby surroundings.

It’s been also a week of change & what’s the best way to celebrate that? Getting a new haircut, of course!

CLIENT LOVE:

I recently started to discover more & more talented Baltic bloggers & was so glad to work with Itijblog this week. Her photography & style are amazing and works perfectly with our Fashion Spy Blogger template.

Scratch the List is all about Katerina’s travel stories, happiness tips, and inspiration to make your life worthy of your dreams. Take a look at her blog & see our Less is More WordPress Theme in action.

We also gave a facelift to Nikita’s blog. I’m so thrilled to see my customers coming back for more!

OOTD:

I’m all about bringing those classy items back to my look. Converse has made such a come back with their Chulk Taylors II that I just couldn’t help but crave for a pair or two…or three. In a meantime, my oldies would do just fine! Don’t you just love the fact that the older these sneakers get, the cooler they look?
