#BloggersBeLike: 9 Things [Lifestyle] Bloggers Appreciate


  In other words, give us any of these and we will love you.

  1. Succulents
  Because yes. If you don't have succulents in your home then you actually can't sit with us.

 2. Peonies. But if push comes to shove, fresh flowers {preferably in mason jars}will do.
I don't know who gave peonies permission to be so gorgeous but I'm not complaining.


 3. Monograms
 Because they're kinda awesome. No questions asked.

4. Pretty journals and planners
Having our lives and blogs somewhat organized is essential.

 5. Coffee
Even though I'm not an avid coffee drinker, this doesn't need an explanation. Apparently "coffee is a hug in a mug", and who doesn't like hugs?


 6. White spaces
Is this just me? White bed sheets, blankets and walls are the winners. All day. Every day.

 7. Water-color and hand-lettered prints
Inspirational prints around our creative spaces make us more awesome bloggers. It's scientifically proven.

What would our Instagram photos be like without our dearest VSCOcam? I'm not quite sure.

and last but not the least

 9. Pumpkin Spice Lattes + Fall
Living in Kenya, pumpkin spice lattes are not a thing {or maybe I'm not in the loop?}, much less the season of fall. It's either really hot and dry, or it's rainy and cold.
But it's definitely something I've seen a lot these past few weeks with bloggers from the States.

This was such a fun post to do but that's all I can think of. These are my own observations and don't apply to every blogger.
What other things do bloggers appreciate? I hope your weekend has been relaxing!

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him and strengthened in the faith as you were taught and overflowing with thankfulness.

  2. Haha! That's so true! Everyone seems to get on the same bandwagon about these things. Although, I don't like Pumpkin, so I won't be having a PSL anytime soon

  3. Spot on! I love white spaces and layouts. My planner is also my whole life.

    A lot of bloggers also love minimalism & perfectly planned calendars/organization! Great post!
