an update/life admin
Gosh, I haven't posted a semi-personal post on here in forever but in the spirit of that fact that this is indeed my blog, I felt I could/should/whatever.
Anyway, firstly - I'm moving house again. Yes, I want to cry too. We're moving back up to SW London as we'd had to temporarily move to where we call 'home-home' (zone 6...) so, in a week so it's all things a-go in the Meramo-Macve household but hopefully it'll help with point #2. I'm also hoping to vlog the whole affair as well as do a few interior hauls etc, so keep your eyes peeled on my YT.
Point #2 being: I've been pretty unwell for the last 6 weeks or so and I'm hoping moving back to somewhere I'm happy will have a big impact on it. To touch on it, I've been experiencing some anxiety and general unwell-ness which has all become one big circle of shit but I'm en route to having some CBT and getting meds for the other stuff so hopefully I'll be dandy again soon.
Naturally being ill and barely leaving the house has had a bit of an impact over here so I'm sorry for the sporadic posts. I like to post every other day, or three times a week at least and I've just not been able to recently. I've also let my YouTube slip, which was something I really didn't want to do, but shit happens I suppose, and health has to be important.
ALSO, while we're here - Instagram. O-m-g, I can't believe how awful it is now?? When this new algorithm kicked in, I stayed hopeful that things would pick back up again but they've only got worse! My following is rising but my engagement is so low, and when you're looking to consider your blog/etc as your job, it's a real problem. My engagement is genuinely the same now as it was when I had around 2000 followers, it's mental. So, I'm making a conscious effort to like other peoples' stuff more and be a better follower myself as I can't imagine anyone is enjoying it from a creator perspective. But that aside, it's just really not made me want to create for that channel right now, it's a proper motivation killer so hopefully Instagram sort it out soon.
Finally, I'm really looking to get my site redeveloped soon but I don't know who to look at so if you know anyone, please point me in their direction! I've got so many fun ideas and want to really push this space so hopefully I can get it in motion soon.
Anyway, sorry for boring you all to death, I'll be back with loads of new flat goodness asap. Catch you all sooooon xo
lots of love xxx
Sorry to hear you've been unwell lovely! Looking forward to seeing all the new flat content soon and I hope you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI agree re instagram although I've gone the opposite way - my engagement has stayed the same/is rising but my following is just not moving at all! So frustrating! xo

I hope moving and everything does help with putting you on the right track to mending, sad to hear you've been unwell, but get well soon! I love you content and cannot wait for it to pick up again soon!
ReplyDeleteIf you're looking for someone to help with your blog I really recommend Kotryna Bass, her templates are great but also if you want something from scratch she's so easy to talk too and really gets your ideas when pitched to her!
Instagram has turned to shite and I hate that a lot of the instagrams I love barely show up anymore so like you I have started making a more concious effort to engage more but here's to hopeful thinking it sorts it out soon!
