It is always nice to get fresh inspirations and ideas for your blog posts which we may not necessarily have thought of ourselves. I think it is also pretty common for us to naturally gravitate toward the same topic genres of preference, so stepping outside of our own "box" does not always come naturally.

For this reason, I have decided to publish a weekly list of potential ideas for those of you publishing to the Lifestyle Lounge Community to make use of, should you so wish. There is absolutely nothing obligatory about this list, it is merely there to motivate and inspire - Even if one of the ideas does nothing more than trigger another idea for a post, SUPER! So, with that said, welcome to...

THE WEEKLY - No. 9

Lifestyle Lounge Blog Inspirations for the Week ahead

Unwind Time

Life can get pretty hectic at times... work stress, family, kids, responsibilities, finances - you know the drill. I think we all have our own individual ways of "winding down" after a crazy day, each unique, effective and satisfying in it's own way. What do you do to unwind? Maybe you go to a Tai Chi class or perhaps you sit down for an hour and meditate with some relaxing music. Maybe you dance around the kitchen with your broom and the music blaring! Share your favourite ways to unwind with the rest of us! Who knows, you may get some ideas from others too!

Childhood Memories

Life in its entirety is comprised of moments which shape us in some way or another - positively or negatively and sometimes, just constructively. Share some of your childhood memories and how they have impacted your life. These can be happy memories or even not such happy ones. We live and learn every single day of our lives and even the things which happened many years back are a part of who we are today.

Online Shopping Top 5

Safe to say that the world of online shopping is bigger now than it ever has been... the options are literally limitless and you can pretty much get anything you want from anywhere in the world. Share your top five online shops which you buy from regularly - just one request... please exclude the massive chains such as Amazon etc. Focus on the more "niche market" shops and share them with the rest of us.

Your Top 10 Beauty / Skincare Tips

I know there are plenty of make-up and beauty gurus here on Hive and much like with everything else in life, there is always room to learn. Everyone has their acquired their own set of knowledge with regards to beauty or general skincare and it is always great to learn from others. Share your top ten beauty or skincare tips and give a little bit of insight into each one.

This Versus That

This should prove a fun one to do. Create a comparative post between two products. It can be anything at all. Tech related, food related, beauty products, cars, even specific people - perhaps comparing two particular architects and their styles, designers and their flair - absolutely anything! Have fun with it and give us your personal thoughts and opinions on each. Please try to include useful information on both - ie. links to their sites, where they can be purchased... all that stuff.

Well there you go, a working weeks worth of inspiration.
