This Blog post: http://www.theelginavenue.com/2017/02/thoughts-on-lifestyle-blogging-finding-your-blend-of-content.html It has totally helped me get my head around the type of content that I want to be creating. I no longer want to struggle for blog post ideas or have to wait for a weekend of good weather to get photos done in order to get my blog post written and published. I’m feeling an air of new life with…
One of the things that I really enjoy about blogging is the ability to stretch my legs when it comes to my photography skills. I’ve been using a DSLR since I was around 20, starting out with a Sony A200 and progressing to becoming a full canon fanboy.

Everyone knows that Christmas is a boozy time of year. It’s just a thing that seems to happen. Office parties, family gatherings and just general nights out when you’ve already had three months worth of alcohol intake the previous few nights, but it’s Christmas, so you’re damn well going to make the most of this short-lived freedom before work starts again.

Subscription boxes for men are all the rage at the moment and they don’t seem to be going away anytime soon. There are so many different kinds available that you’re sometimes spoilt for choice.
