Swirling Quotes

This post is inspired by my fellow Dutch blogger Malou from Made by Malou. I did make some posts on quotes in the past, see this one and this one. Today I have some new quotes for you and I hope like they inspire you to be the best you can and not to doubt yourself.

The first quote is my all time favourite quote. I love the quote and the movie from which this quote is taken, The Moulin Rouge.

This picture I took when I was on a romantic trip with my boyfriend in Paris.

The glitter of being a Blog Angel!

As you might know this month I have been an angel, I am always an angel (it is in my name, see this post) but this month I have been a special angel, a Blog Angel to be precise. If you do not know what it is then you'd better start reading this post!

The blog that I have been helping might sound familiar.... it is The Glitter of Sunshine! Why does it sound familiar? Well check out this post which I wrote about this fabulous, awesome and always positive blog hosted by Sierra. Over the month I tried to help Sierra by commenting on her lovely posts. I also wrote a post about her blog with a direct link to her blog hoping to increase traffic. 

The posts that I loved the most is this posts called Happiness. I personally think we should all post the things we love and that make us happy at least once a month! I myself will start doing this in this post and will try to make it a monthly topic. 

In case you haven't yet checked out her blog start by clicking here!

Since I loved it so much I will also be a blog angel in October! So maybe I will be your angel this time :)

As for the things that make me happy; here we go!

Have a nice day and remember:

Blog Angel update uno!

Hi there it's me Lieke from Swirling Away Everyday! Today I want to tell a little something about a special undercover project I am working on this month. It is called Blog Angels! Which is totally awesome! In short it means I am to help and guide a certain blogger with growing her blog, reaching more people and getting more attention from other bloggers. I cannot get into any specifics, but my blog Angel is such a darling! Her blog is awesome, very positive, her blog is as bright as sunshine!Having a blog Angel is so much fun! But in the beginning it was a bit difficult, because you have to get to know the blog and the blogger behind the blog. This wasn't as easy  as I had hoped but the past few weeks I am having more interaction with my Angel which is awesome! This really gives me the feeling that I can help her and make a difference!

The main thing I have learned from these past weeks is that you have to be pro-active and consistent. If you do not get the feedback from your Angel you had hoped for, don't give up and just keep on swirling and trying to help your Angel! We all want people to like what we write so just keep on being positive and leave nice comments, or ask a question in your comment so you get some more personal interaction. 

My goals for my blog angel is to help her grow her blog and getting more followers. I started with just leaving nice comments on her blog and trying to grow her confidence in her blogging skills. Even though you write you blog for you it can be quite difficult when you don't get any feedback from other blggers. So by just leaving nice honest comments I hope her confidence and her blog will grow.

The Glitter of Sunshine

Sunshine, don't we all love it? Well I do!!! It makes me feel happy, give me energy, I can wear airy and lovely summer clothes! 

Here are some of my favorite sunshine moments:

And I am gonna add another new favorite Sunshine moment! It is called The Glitter of Sunshine, it is this very cute blog that is always positive! I also love the 30 days of happiness project, it is so awesome! We should all do this and just think of 1/2 things that made us happy per day. For me today that would be the sun! And the run I did this morning!

We all need some extra sunshine, so start reading The Glitter of Sunshine!
