Hi lovelies! Keeping my head up over here after all my old G+ blogger comments got deleted a month ago. I should have stopped using G+ comments evolved when I moved to WordPress, but didn’t. Thanks Google. I’m sad but moving on because I don’t think there’s anything that I can do.
I’ve been busy creating content and working super hard lately, which left me little time to dedicate to the blog. I want to make a conscience effort to be more present here because this blog is what has gotten me through so many tough times in my life. No joke, the blog made me feel alive, creative, and at home.
Besides sharing fashion, and style tips I have also shared personal struggles which so many of you related to in the past. Here are just a few, Mindfulness and Happiness , Life Is What You Make It , and Inspire My Fancy Story. It has been like a little getaway for me where I get to express my thoughts freely and share so much with you all.
I moved my blog from Blogger to WordPress last year and along with that I lost every single one of my comments from blogger! It was like starting all over again on the blog, but I kept using G+ comments, which was a huge mistake. Now those comments have disappeared as well. I don’t know exactly what did it, the fact that Google + is shutting down, or the WordPress update. Whatever it is, I can’t afford to hire a tech support person. I made peace with it instead. It is really sad because I had built some amazing relationships with other bloggers throughout the years. Thankfully those relationships that I had built help my blog stay alive. I also stayed connected through Instagram with so many of you, and that makes me happy!
This brings me to my next point…Instagram!! After my blog transfer was such a disappointment with my comments not transferring over, I started creating and publishing more content on Instagram. I think so many other bloggers also started doing the same thing, but in doing so I neglected my little blog and I think further lost touch with so many wonderful blogs. Have any of you experienced this yourselves?
I am extremely passionate about the connections I have built on this blog and look forward to making them stronger this year. I will be creating a weekly blog schedule to post more regularly and keep you all inspired in as many ways as I can. With that said, please let me know what you love to see here the most! Is it style, beauty, or mental health stuff? I can sprinkle it all in for you too. Your feedback is very much appreciated!!! Thank you in advance and now I’m off to visit your blogs.
Always with love,
Tania
So sorry to hear that Tania!! I hope everything works out!

Thank you Agnes! I’m happy I did keep up the blog and I’m so glad you did too. I will reconnect with you on the blog too. Seems like so long ago we visited each other’s blogs, hehe. Can’t wait to catch up on yours. Kisses
Hey gorgeous queen! you’re bringing sunshine in its beaming THOUSANDS with your stunning stripes, Forever looking like a rainbow burst of colourful divinity in all your gorgeous outfits, most specially this one! oh lovely, my heart goes out to you about losing all your blog comments 🙁 i’m so very sorry this has happened to you, even more frustrating as you went through this before when you moved to wordpress too. we work so hard on our blogs and when things like this happens it’s so crushing and devastating. the fact that you’re making peace with it just shows what a go-getter you are in life, always rising above with your stunning soul and beautiful positivity. i promise you have so many loyal readers who will always continue to support you, myself included, and there will be tons more in the future too who will discover your beautiful soul and be utterly hooked! i always adore how you combine topics straight from the heart and cover such fabulous fashion and style too; i love it all! keep being your beautiful self and the sky and stars are not even the limit!!! i really related to this post, especially in terms of turning more to instagram instead of blogging so regularly. i do sometimes enjoy it more as a platform and find the stresses i have in regards to blogging disappear when i just focus on ig. i took a blog break during february as it just got to me and i found it too hard to post. but like you i’m back and hoping to keep up more of a regular schedule, and try and re-gain my love for blogging and all it means to me. keep shining you dazzling superstar, sending you all the love in the universe! ♥︎♥︎♥︎

Thanks you sophie for your support, you made me feel so much better. Other blogger friends have told me to just keep going too, and I’m going to do just that. I feel more confident now that all the relationships that I’ve built throughout the years are still strong and my blog will bounce back. I’m thankful that we connected somehow, I don’t even remember if it was here on the blog or on Insta, do you? Regardless, happy we have each other to encourage and support each other on our journeys! Much love Sophie. xoxo
I’m really sorry you lost your g+ comments. google should have come up with a way for us to keep them! Well, what we can do? This is a very stylish combo.You look fantastic.

HI dolL,
i WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO MOVE MY COMMENTS, BUT MIGRATING FROM BLOGGER TO WORDPRESS IS NOT EASY. gOOGLE SENT ME AN EMAIL ABOUT SWITCHING FROM GOOGLE COMMENTS TO BLOGGER DEFAULT COMMENT BECAUSE GOOGLE PLUS WAS SHUTTING down. tHE CHANGE DID NOT AFFECT ME MUCH, BUT i THINK i LOST A LOT OF PICTURES. iNSTAGRAM IS fun, but it is NOT OURS. the BLOG IS. lET’S FOCUS ON THAT!

I agree Nerline! I love instagram because it allows my photography to shine, more of a creative thing for me. While blogging I get to express myself more mentally. Thank you for sharing your experience sis!! xx
A great post, with social media find a channel that works for you. i love instagram for very different reasons, for me it’s actually there for travel/photographic mainly and a few stories, my blog tells a different story.
i LOVE MEETING PEOPLE ON BOTH INSTAGRAM, BLOG AND TWITTER ALSO! SOCIAL MEDIA IS MEANT TO BE FUN, AND IT’S OKAY TO TAKE A BREAK AWAY AND EXPERIMENT ANOTHER PLATFORM YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK THAT’S FOR SURE!

Thanks for letting me know Allie, now I have to figure it out! xx

Thank you so much for relating to my story Allie, it does feel like a game sometimes and Instagram was so much more fun before it got taken over. I completely agree! I am trying to focus more on what started me on this creative journey, which is writing and sharing. It feels so good when I do apply my energe here on the blog for sure. I appreciate you letting me know your thoughts on the whole thing! Much love!
