April is a great month in northern half of the globe because it means beginning of the summer season (or well, it’s warm every second day and snowing the rest but believe, summertime is just around the corner!). For me, it has been a month of a good amount of blog posts and photography. I’ve also been able to do some blog collabs and worked a lot with my smoothie book project.
April Wrap Up
After the makeover, I did on this blog at the beginning of March I’ve been constant in posting 3-5 times a week. Actually, I’ve posted exactly every second day during this month. I’ll keep the 3-5 times a week in future too, I think it’s good amount of posts so that I can do good quality.
Because of my new camera and getting my photos to Shutterstock I’ve got plenty of motivation to improve my blog photos. I think I’ve had the best month in many ways.
I found an app called Planoly which helps me to plan my Instagram. In Planoly you can plan the order of your posts. It’s completely free for one user if you download up to 30 photos to the app. I’m in love!
Additionally, my fiancé got a new job this month which is great in many terms. One great thing here is that he got a new phone from work so I got my old iPhone 6+ 128Gb back. My current phone is running out of storage because of my social and photos all the time so it’s great to get a lot more space! 🙂
