October brought with it an awesome bunch of sidebar advertisers, and there are so many blogs and small businesses I'm excited to be introducing you guys to today. From lifestyle to beauty and everything in between, be prepared to fill your Bloglovin feed with a bunch of new favourites...

I'm a serious scatterbrain sometimes - I'll put something down and then never remember where I put it when I need it to hand. Working for myself and running two websites and managing client work can be quite the juggling act, and I'm forever beating myself up when something gets lost within the crowd and I end up being behind on something. This is why I've set myself five little rules to follow so I can try and stay on top of everything, and I wanted to share them with you today for anyone else craving a more organised life...

We hear the word ‘tribe’ thrown around a lot online, but I actually think it’s the perfect way to describe those people who become such a big part of our lives, both professionally and personally. Pursuing creative endeavours can be crazy lonely and scary, and surrounding yourself with people who dream as big as you do is key. 

I'm no stranger to feeling insecure at times - it probably happens to me more times than I'd like to admit. Whether it's about work, friendships, blogging, or how I feel about myself - at times I'll feel an overwhelming sense that I'm just not good enough. I think it's normal to feel like this though, we are human after all, and the important thing I've found is that we have to find a way to overcome our insecurities and keep going even when they're trying to hold us back. 

I can't believe October is almost coming to an end, though I am excited to enjoy the rest of the year and see what it has to bring. I've shared lots of online favourite this month including 10 Awesome Creative Blogs You Should Read and Seven Awesome Blogs I've Stumbled Across Recently and today I wanted to share 10 posts I've loved reading this past month - hope you enjoy them too!

I love working from home. I love the freedom, the control over my own schedule, and the fact that I get to spend my days doing what I love. It can be hard somedays though not to feel a little lonely - spending the majority of your time working by yourself isn't always the best for a healthy and happy mind. So recently I've been making a big effort to adjust my routine so that it takes into consideration my need to escape the cabin fever and quiet that can sometimes be too much when you work from home, and I thought I'd share my best advice today for any fellow work-from-homers...

I love blogging, don't get me wrong, but for fellow creatives or people of the world who want to share themselves, their work, their personal brand, and who they are through the wonderful medium of the web but don't have the time (or the interest) in starting and running a blog I think it's hard sometimes to utilise the many options available to us. The thing is, if you don't want to blog but you still want to share who you are and find your tribe and potential clients online there is hope as there are so many other creative platforms out there where you can utilise your voice and creative vision.

You may have noticed Jessica from The Crown Wings on my sidebar this past month and linked to at the end of each post as she has been this months spotlight advertiser and I'm super excited to bring you today's post after I caught up with her recently. A beauty, lifestyle, and fashion blog, today's interview is the perfect way to find out a little more about the girl behind the blog...
