My 10 favourite blogs so far




Hi everyone... I'm back today, "burnout syndrome" long gone... I guess I was making some drama, really. I apologise... Emoji

So, as I promised yesterday to those who suggested topics for my posts, this post was the first suggestion, made by Nayna Kanabar, author of the "Citrusspice and all the things nice" blog. Her blog is amazing, with lots of recipes and also craft. Make sure you stop for a visit...

Well, as for my 10 favourite blogs so far, here they are (in no particular order):

1) Atelie Imaginario crafts. Why is this one of my favourites? Welll, I've known Camila for ages and she'd always had "maos de fada" (fairy hands, as we'd say in Brasil) for everything she made, be it chocolate, cakes, crafts, anything... She is very special and I love and am proud to be friends with such a talented and sweet person! She was a guest blogger here this month. If you missed her post, check it out here.

2) Margieinitaly. I "met" Margie on Twitter when I first posted a story (part of a novel I'm writing) that's set in Napoli, Italy. She loves Italy as much as I do and reading her blog is inspiring. She also takes wonderful pictures. I've already ordered her book, "Memoirs of a Solo Traveler - My Love Affair with Italy", and can't wait to get it! :)


 3) My Red Journals. I like this blog for the simplicity of it. The sub-heading is "conversations with God since 1983". That alone was enough to make me want to read it. She's inspiring... :)

4) The Little English Girl. As the one above, it's also the simplicity and spirituality and faith that made me want to read it. She's also inspiring... :)

5) Writers Write. It's not really a blog, but as a writer, I find this website so helpful. It's got lots of writing tips and their Creative Writing Blog has lots of cool quotes. 

6) You Made My Day. Ah, what can I say about this blog? It's just lovely, with a bit of everything. It looks like an online magazine. Amaia, the founder, has done a fab job!

7) Bruised Passports. Well, I LOVE travelling, so how can you not like this blog! ;)

8) Life Feast. This blog is so smart!!! Its author is a friend of mine from Brasil, Ana Maria Menezes. She's an EFL teacher, teacher trainer and EdTech coordinator of the best English school in Uberlandia, Brasil. I had the pleasure to work with her and learn with her. If you are a teacher and interested in technology, she's the girl! :)

9) Where are my knees? As someone who's usually on a diet, I find this blog entertaining and full of info.

10) The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl. Shauna is amazing and inspiring! I've lost count of how many times I ran to her book in searh of motivation and a reason to laugh when I was feeling miserable. Also, I love her accounts of her move to Scotland... I defo recommend her book:

Ok, this is me for today! I really hope you enjoy my choices. Just one more thing... If you decide to visit any of these blogs, can you just please let them know how you got there? ;) Thanks.

See you tomorrow.
Dani. :)

    1. Hi, Shauna! It's a pleasure! I'm such a "big fan"!!! I had a similar experience to yours... love bringing me to the UK, visas expiring, having my visa cancelled twice in Cardiff airport... weight loss... well, in the end, it all ended well... You're an inspiration! :)
