I started using Canva today.. An online tool to create graphics for your blog. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up.. who knows 🙂 might be nice to use.
Used it for the January & February watchlist and the Heroes post.

TheGoodStory posted it’s first guest written post :)

A Netflix watchlist on the theme: consumerism. Hope you guys like it!
Don’t forget to leave a comment on how you liked the films.

Finally.. a new post

Pff..I’ve had some trouble focussing on my blog the last week… Apologies for any unanswered messages!! I will reply… I promise 🙂 I’ve had such a hectic week and am starting a brand new job tomorrow (exciting!), so I haven’t been able to spend as much time on writing as I wanted to.

But… tadaa… here is a new post after all: “How art connects you, me & the slums of Kenya”.

I hope you guys enjoy it 😀
And don’t feel shy answering the question at the bottom of the post. I’m really curious what the answers will be!

How to create a good facebook ‘card’ for blog posts

I was wondering if you guys know how to create a proper facebook/twitter card for WordPress blog posts? Every time I share a post on social media the image gets cropped and it just displays the first few sentences from my post. Instead, I would like to custom write the first sentences it shows on social media and make sure the image is shown properly.

Do you guys know how I can do that??
Thnx 🙂

I’d love to get some feedback on this one.. It was one of those posts which was clear as day in my mind but turned out to be a bit of a struggle to write. Am curious what you guys think of it and whether it reads ‘smoothly’.

Thanks!!

From writers block to best-shared article

I just wanted to take a minute to share my joy with you guys. Last week I was experiencing my first official writers block. I’ve had a bit of a tough year which is finally taking a good turn. Which is good…but can be a bit overwhelming as well. That, in combination with a kick-ass flu, resulted in a drop in inspiration…to say the least. So I thought…you know what… I don’t need to be inventive to write. Let’s write about something which is already amazing. To keep a long story short.. I created a new feature on my blog called Heroes. In the heroes section, I plan to write about small, lesser known, ngo’s & charities which do amazing work but are not as ‘famous’ as the big ones such as Oxfam, Unicef etc.

I started with a post about the White Helmets in Syria. These guys and gals truly do amazing work and are the embodiments of humanity in a war-torn country. The response was amazing and truly encouraging. Not only did I receive the kindest response from the White Helmets themselves, the post also got many many retweets and kind direct messages as a result.

I am so happy to be able to share the stories of such inspiring people and hopefully contribute in a small way by bringing these do-gooders together with their future supporters.

If you guys now any local ngo’s/charities who are true heroes… do let me know!

Bye bye writers blog :)

I created a new ‘section’ on my blog called ‘Heroes’. The idea is to use it as a platform to present smaller, lesser known charities which do amazing work. The first heroes are the White Helmets from Syria. Give them a thumbs up! They deserve it!!
