Only one week until my blog is moving! Now that new things and changes are about to come, I thought it would be a good time to think about some blog resolutions, how things will continue from February on. Or at least blog related wishes, sounds better. I’ve had lots of things to do this week, and next week too, but after fixing the layout and getting some organizing things done, it’ll be easier to stick with these routines. I only realize now that things are finally about to happen, day by day I’m getting more excited!
Enää viikko jäljellä blogimuuttooni. Vanha virsi, mutta aika menee vain niin nopeasti. Nyt kun käytännön juttuja konkreettisesti fiksaillaan, alkaa vasta kunnolla tajuta, että kohta se tapahtuu! Ja nyt kun uudet jutut ja muutokset lähestyvät, ajattelin että olisi hyvä aika miettiä joitakin bloggailuun liittyviä toiveita. Voisi ehkä myös sanoa lupauksia, mutta toiveita kuulostaa rennommalta. Tämä viikko mennyt aikamoisessa kiireessä, vielä ensi viikollekin riittää hommaa, mutta helmikuusta lähtien pääsen varmasti paremmin tietynlaiseen bloggailurytmiin!
1. Post more often and keep it as a regular thing, once a day usually works best. Keeps the creativity and ideas coming, blog pauses don’t work for me at all. Now looking back I can’t understand the old me, in 2010 I posted about once in one or two weeks, and it was horrible. I loved blogging, but doing it that rarely I had to push myself always to do it, and I was so afraid of opening the comment boxes because I felt so bad about everything.
1. Päivittäin postaaminen toimii parhaiten. Pitää luovuuden yllä ja ideat tulevat helpommin, blogitauot taas itselläni tappavat sen luovuuden. Jo muutaman päivänkin “tauko” tuntuu nostavan kynnystä postaamiselle! Huh kun mietinkin miten aikoinaan postailin, 2010 tein ehkä yhden postauksen viikossa tai kahdessa viikossa, ja kynnys oli aika valtava. Silloinkin nautin bloggaamisesta kyllä, mutta se postaustahti meinasi saada mut hulluuden partaalle, kun kommenttiboksien avaaminenkin tuntui pahalta peläten niitä kommentteja. Ei enää siihen.
2. Keep answering comments more. They mean a lot and I read all of them anyway, so instead of just smiling and thanking the person inside my head it’s better to drop the comment. Interactivity and readers are one of the biggest motivators here. Also it’s funny how many readers I remember by names, and how often I scroll through the blogs and all, without letting really any signs about it. I’m a secret reader stalker.
2. Jatka kommentteihin vastaamista paremmin. Ne merkkaavat paljon ja luen niistä kuitenkin jokaisen, joten sen sijaan että mielessäni kiittäsin ja hymyilisin, voin yhtä hyvin kirjoittaa kommentin, miettimättä sen kummemmin tullaanko sitä lukemaan vai ei. Samanlailla saattaa kommentteja jättävät ajatella, ja kommentointi ja lukijat ovat blogin yksi ydinjuttu, joten sitä puolta bloggaamisessa pitää kunnioittaa!
3. Start writing a notebook dedicated for blog things. Write down your post ideas, schedules for each month, outfit inspirations, topics you’d want to write about, keep the “business” things organized.
3. Pidä blogiin liittyvää muistikirjaa, jonne kirjoittelet ylös kaikkea postausideoista aikatauluihin, ja asuinspiksistä ja erilaisiin aiheisiin. Myös yritysjutut on pidettävä organisoituina, ei saa päästää mitään järkyttäviä paperisotkuja syntymään, tai lykätä laskutus tai muita käytännönjuttuja. Liian isona urakkana mikä tahansa tuntuu tylsältä.
4. About the post ideas: turn plans into actions. Too often the perfectionist side of me thinks that the result won’t be good enough, it’s a too big of a job, or what ever, so I don’t often even start doing. Which is more stupid, over thinking things is my bad habit! Some challenges for me that I’d like to do are for example video posts, makeup routine post, a day with me -kind of posts.
4. Postausideoista: tartu ideoihin paremmin ja ryhdy toteuttamaan. Liian usein perfektionisti-puoli minussa lannistaa itseni ideointivaiheen jälkeen, ajattelen jonkun olevan liian iso homma/lopputulos ei kuitenkaan olisi tarpeeksi hyvä tms, mutta höpöhöpö. Muutamia haasteita itselleni, joihin voisin tarttua: videopostaukset, vihdoin ja viimein meikkirutiinipostaus (jota olen tehnyt jopa kahden vuoden välein), päivä kanssani juttu, ja onhan näitä! It always seems impossible until it’s done.
How does these sound, can you (bloggers out there) relate to anything? Ps, About a year ago I wrote a post called Tips for good blogging, had to reread it now after writing this, a good reminder. So with these thoughts moving to next challenges and my next era of blogging!
Miltäs nämä kuulostavat? Ps, Kirjoitin noin vuosi sitten postauksen blogivinkeistä joka löytyy täältä, piti käydä lukemassa se muistutukseksi tämän päätteeksi. Eli näillä fiiliksillä ja ajatuksilla eteenpäin kohti uusia tuulia! Hahaa.

Reminder: My blog is moving by the end of the month, 1.2.2015 I will be blogging under Indiedays.com: www.mariannan.com or www.mariannan.indiedays.com

I’ve been blogging for about 8 years now, but my main blog will be 5 in 2 months time, so I’m always trying to think up new ideas, keep things fresh, interesting, enjoyable and different. I’m constantly working on getting a perfect layout and theme, but keeping it personal to me. I have a lot of blog resolutions this year, so some of yours are great! Whatever works best for you is what’s important. I always reply to every single comment that I’m left as well, I think it’s a polite thing to do 🙂 🙂

Sounds really good! Looking forward to all of that! Good luck, honey. I’m happy especially about more personal articles. More you, please, hihi.
Aneta says
Hello Marianna!
I’m your secret read for few years now and I have never commented on your post before. Your blog is amazing and you are my huge inspiration! You are such a lovely person!:)
marianna says
Thank you Aneta for the lovely comment! Made me smile 🙂
Enn Franco says
Really great resolutions, and I hope you can manage them all! Really love your blog and your content and, yes, post mooore <3

Stella says
I did the same with my blog, I set some goals and actions for 2015.
I keep a diary and I post twice a week on specific days, being organised and committed is the most important in my opinion.
However in terms of your blog, I believe you don’t have to post daily just for the sake of it. The readers understand that and don’t like forced posts.
Good luck!

Kiitos ihana Anne, oot niin monta kertaa piristänyt päivääni kommentilla! <3
Gabi says
Those are really great plans! 🙂 I remember that you once uploaded a video and it was really sweet 🙂 It´d be great if you do this more often 🙂 You have always amazing photos and you are a big inspiration for me! 🙂
Elseniek says
I have to confess I am a secretly reader of your blog! I follow you for a couple of years and really really love your blog! Really great you set some goals, but I’m sure you will do a good job anyway! X
marianna says
Thank you Elseniek! Both for the comment and the support! Lucky to have such kind readers. And kind of proud too! 🙂 X
Dixi Wonderland says
I really hope that you start blogging more often! You take the most amazing pictures ever and it would be so fun to watch these amazing pictures every day. Making weekly plans is so great cause then you always know what to do. I´m gonna start with this myself and you also get a very good overview of your blog so that you don´t post the same post three times in a row or forget to post something that you know we readers will love. I can´t wait for your new blog! I started to read your blog before you even started to translate it into english but I stop reading for some months just because the update where so low. I´m really happy to read that you love what you´re doing and it would be super fun to know more what you do every day. If you´re having a meeting or having lunch with a friend 🙂 Well I will stop this super long comment now haha. xoxo
marianna says
Thank you Dixi! 🙂 And no need to apologize a long comment, loved it!:D I remember you for such a long time, that’s so amazing! I need to remember this when I’m wondering if the content is “enough”, not too much pressure what I’m posting, just keeping the flow… flowing? Haha! <3
Erika says
Amazing post! Beautiful photos! Wishing you all best! 🙂

Sim says
I can relate to you very well. I myself would like to post more often, too. But also, I want to keep the quality of my posts. I don’t want to feel the need that I have to publish something just because I haven’t done it since one week.

Linda says
Olen nyt muutaman vuoden seurannut siun blogia, ja vaikka olen yrittänyt löytää välillä muitakin mitä alkaa seurata, mikään ei ole yltänyt tämän siun blogin tasolle 🙂 Rakastan sitä, miten kaikesta siun tekemisistä välittyy se, että siulla on uskomattoman hyvä esteettinen silmä asioille ja olet niin jalat maassa ja jotenkin vaan aito. Ansaitset kyllä kaiken upean mitä blogin pitäminen on tuonut siulle 😀 Kiitos, olet ihana piristys aina päivään! 🙂
marianna says
Kiitos Linda, en kestä miten ihana kommentti! Tulee niin hyvälle tuulelle tälläisiä kommentteja lukiessa <3

I hope you can stick to it! Having a life outside the blog may be an impediment! Good luck, I will follow you in your journey!

these resolutions are very good and could be mine too, I just start blogging in January and I want to find my personal blog style. I want to post in a regular basis and want to write ideas and inspirations in a notebook. i am excited too what cames next with mariannan cuz i am follow your since the early beginning with mirrored pictures in your parents home and actually still love it
Happy Saturday my dear and lots of love between hamburg and berlin

I really liked this post! You gave me some inspiration and motivation to work harder on my blog too.
Good luck on your “resolutions”

Susanne says
It’s always nice to set little goals that keep you going 🙂
Rita says
Hello Marianna! I love your blog since ever, you’re always so classy and juvenile at the same time, you are really an inspiration. I would love to know your own new year’s resolutions, maybe you could post something about it! Also, I would love to see makeup routine/favourites/etc posts (:
Keep up with the good work!
marianna says
Thank you Rita, that is so sweet! And that’s a good tip, I have other New Year’s resolutions too, many of them 🙂 Haha writing those down now on my post idea list, thank you! X
Voguerka says
Lovely pictures, I always adore them. As a blogger, I think that keeping this blog-realted notebook is a great idea. I always promise myself to start it, cause inspiration is all around us – very often I see/read something that inspires me to write about a certain subject or create a nice outfit… later on I simply forget it. And I’ll be very happy to see you post daily, that’s my biggest motivation and really happy moment (to se that there is a new post on your blog!). I just like you as a person, you seem so cheerful and kind and good. I also think that posting is right when you really feel so, it should be a pleasure not a duty, you know what I mean. Finally, it would be amazing for many of your readers to see that you visited their blogs etc. you can only do so by comments. Yet I understand you cause I’m often a silent ‘invisible’ reader. I have my little tradition of leaving comments here, well it’s special though 🙂
Wish you a good weekend!
Daria
marianna says
Thank you Voguerka! For always leaving lovely comments, sure I remember you! 🙂 Your blog looks so lovely! I’m happy to hear that daily posts are a good thing for my readers too, sometimes I wonder if people can keep up with blogs that update daily, but some update several times a day, so maybe it’s unnecessary to worry about it. Hope you had a great weekend! X
S says
Hyvältä kuulostaa! Itse ainakin arvostan sitä jos bloggaaja ehtii vastata kommenttiini, siitä tulee hyvä mieli, vaikka yleensä kyllä jätän kommentin tuottaakseni hyvää mieltä itse bloggaajalle ja kiittääkseni häntä työstään 🙂 Turha perfektionismi kannattaa jättää taka-alalle, yleensä lyhyet arkipäivän kuulumiset muutamalla kuvalla on ihan riittäviä nekin. Itse haen blogeista vaan sitä kivaa fiilistä jota kauniit kuvat tukee ja niitähän sun blogissa riittää! Ja luulenpa että itse tämmösenä perustallaajana en aina edes huomaa suurta eroa esim. siinä, kuinka pitkään jotain kuvaa on käsitelty, että onko se just niin täydellinen… No joo, nämä on vaan mun mielipiteitä 🙂 Jatka vaan samaan tapaan kuin aiemminkin niin mä ainakin pysyn matkassa mukana 😉
marianna says
Ihana kommentti, ei voi muuta sanoa! Ja niinpä, se perfektionismi niin usein lannistaa ja vähentää ideoita, ja jos taas liikaa miettimättä alkaisi toteuttamaan kävisi päinvastoin. Jättimäinen kiitos sinne tsempeistä! 🙂
Emily says
I’m already excited about your video posts and the other ones from point 4 and hoping that your resolutions will become reality 🙂
marianna says
Thank you Emily! 🙂 After reading these lovely comments, they sure will! X
Priscilla says
I can’t wait for your daily blogging! You’re such an inspiration <3

Vivi says
You’re really such an inspiration to me. I visit your blog everyday, for years. I can say we have a lot of things in common. 🙂
I wish you the best in this new phase!
” video posts, makeup routine post, a day with me -kind of posts.” YES, PLEASE! I love your outfit posts, but what I like the most is the “personal” ones and when you write about your routine.

cocco says
I really want to see those video ones!!! Or a day with Marianna!!! That would make many followers happy I think xxxx
Maria says
MORE PERSONAL THINGS PLEASE! Open up a little, tell us about yourself, we’re just people too 🙂 We know you’re a pretty, hardworking girl with a big closet, but don’t be afraid to add a little more personality to it 🙂 We wanna be your friends!

I love your resolutions! I just bought a planner and journal today that I’ll brainstorm all my post ideas in. Planning posts out in advance has been a lifesaver for me!

Daria says
It’s so Great to read such things from you, Marianna!
I read your Blog for at least 1,5 years! You’re a wonderful blogger and i think that we, your readers will help You to improve your goals, we’ll write more comments to you for Bettler motivation!
Good luck:)
Best wishes from Russia.
And I personally will wait for cosy and warm outfits, because it is very cold in Moscow, too:)
Megara says
Oh, your way of thinking is similar to mine ! Organizing, planning scenarios in our heads, and never doing effort to turn plans into actions. i hope we’ll be able to get things started from now on !
Also, I wanted to say that I love your high quality photos and your spontaneous writing, it makes you oe of my favs, if not, my fav blogger so it would be a pleasure to ge to read more from you !
Eva says
Hi Marianna!
I’ve been reading your blog regularly for more than a year, but I’ve never left a comment. It’s nice to know that you read them all, though. I don’t think a lot of bloggers do that. I don’t know you in person so this may sound weird, but you seem like a really friendly, down to earth person. It’s a pleasure to look at your posts and read them too! I like when you write something more personal, not only typical OOTD posts, although I know it’s kind of your job to do that, I appreciate variety. I remember when you once wrote somthing personal and later you said that you were a bit afraid to do so. Don’t be. It’s good to show people that you are a person with thoughts and beliefs and that you not only showing your bags and pillows (but I like when you do that too:)
I’ve been in Helsinki once and I really think the city is beautiful. I loved the big white building that I don’t know the name of (forgive me for that:)
I wish you all the best!
I think you really are a special blogger.
Agata says
hello Marianna! I’m writing in connection with comming changes on your blog. I’m a ‘your reader’ from the beginning. I like so many your features, Your not only a perfect blogger and stylist but your are always polite and kind for people. Sometimes I comment your post and very often I get some answers (despite you are very buissy person). You are perfect blogger for me, you are elegant and creative, but as a reader I have to ask about some little changes that will make me happy (and I think that other readers of your blog can be glad about it to). I would be extremely happy if you can post more often and I like the idea of publishing every day ! I’m from Poland and I’m reading many blogs od polish woman and I think I can advice some things that in Poland always works and people like me enjoy it very much (some topics are very popular and interesting). Eliza Wydrych (Polish) is an example of very effective blogges, she’s writting about lifestyle. On her blog (fashionelka.pl – sorry for the commercial, it isn’t the subject) we can read about her wedding and preparing to this day, about her cooking ideas, presents list for christmas, about the beauty ! There are some ‘departments’ on this blogs. And the most important thing – advices. I would like to see (very much) much more advices on your blog. You are the icon of style, beauty, perfection for us. We are obssesed with you, your opinion is important to us and we would like to see your recommendation. I would like to know what clothes you recommend, what brands, what cosmetics, gossips, food, everything !
Often we (readers) are modest people but we want to feel elegant and stylish like you. Maybe you can write some advices how look better but having little money? I would like to see more stylisations, too !
Besh wishes for you!
marianna says
Thank you Agata! You’ve no idea how happy your comment made me! And that’s a useful tip, I’ll keep it in mind while planning the next posts. Thank you <3
Aimee says
So looking forward to more day-with-Marianna posts and video posts! That will be so fun. One thing I’d really like to know more about you – your favorite books and movies. I would love it if you made a playlist of a few favorite songs to share with us!
Venice says
I’m on the exact boat as you! I’m trying to blog more as well.
Cheyenne says
I find these very realistic and great blog resolutions you’ve got there for yourself 🙂
Keep on doing what you’ve been doing so far because it’s great!

Nancy says
I’m excited for your blog changes 😀 Today I just bought a little pink notebook (putting more pink into my life haha) and I think I will use it to jot down inspirations and ideas. I understand how you feel about number four because there’s a part of me that wants every little thing to be perfect but much too often that results in not doing anything. Take care! xx
Lisa says
It would be nice to see more regular posts from you, but like you say, you can’t force it.
Still hope you’ll do your shopping post from your holiday.
Wish you all the best with your blog resolutions for 2015! 🙂
Eden says
This is a great list. I really like the idea about blogging regularly. I find that once I take a break ideas seem to stop flowing. Although it takes more time, I prefer to blog 3-5 times per week since it keeps my mind thinking 🙂

Bri says
I absolutely loved this post Marianna, and had to also re-read the article about your tips for good blogging from a year ago. I found it very very useful as I just started my own blog a month ago and feel like I am pressuring myself about design, content etc, but like you suggest, maybe I should just blog and not overthink so much and things will happen, and the issues will be solved when the right time comes. I have been following your journey for more than 4 years now I think, it’s inspiring to see how far you’ve come. Makes me wish I started blogging back when I first started reading your blog! But you know, better late than never.
Keep doing you!
With Love,
Bri

Melanie says
great plan – i hope it’s going to work! 🙂 i often had the idea to write my ideas in a notebook. so i bought one and when i sat in front of it i had absolutely NO ideas……. #fail haha
marianna says
Me too, I have a feeling it will! Especially having this support here, can’t not work! 🙂 Oh no, I hope you get started listing down your ideas, the inspiration will come when you least expect it! 😀 X
Charlotte says
I honestly relate to everything! I have a notebook where I try to at least wrote my post ideas, but I would love to come up with a clear panning. Of course I would love to post every single day, but I’ll try to maintain my at least three times a week for 2015!
Keep on working hard on your blog, it’s so agradable to read, your pictures are amazing and it’s really like reading a friend daily thoughts!
Love !

Anna says
Usually I’m one of those secret reader stalkers too, but this time I just had to drop a comment. I would love to see your daily makeup rutine! Maybe you could also do some kind of your places to go to in Helsinki? I also love the idea of posting everyday, but remember to feel free to take a break from blogging whenever you need it 🙂 For some reason every time I see you posted something on Facebook I go straight on your blog and even though it takes me less than 5 minutes to read a post it really makes me smile. Some people may say that what you do is pointless, but little things you blog about are actually important and really entertaining. So here I am, writing my first comment in 2015 (I don’t comment below other bloggers’ posts either) just so I can tell you how much I appreciate what you do. Keep growing as a blogger, loving what you do and inspiring people around the world x
Monika says
For me it is hard to put the ideas for posts in a little notebook. I always promise myself to do it. I need to get on top of it.

I’m also an overthinker haha I hate it sometimes that I can’t shut my brain up.

These ideas are all really good… I might just steal from you 😉 Keeping a regular posting schedule is always tricky, especially when new ideas just aren’t coming to you, but I agree, it’s just something you have to stick to.

Victoria says
I’ve been following a long time, but have been getting bored with your blog. I cannot lie, sometimes I don’t even look anymore. You need to do more and have more color and interests and show your face and makeup. Your blog has been asleep for so long now. Wear new clothes and try new makeup looks. Show how you decorate or daily life vlogs. You need an English speaking Youtube channel too. Also sometimes you look very depressed. I wish you luck in this years bloging because we all love you girl.
Abdullah teke says
Love your side profile photos, and your hair up is so cute. . Meeting you one day is on me “Bucket List” 🙂 , god willing, and try not to stress the move, change is a great thing :*
Gabriela says
Great post, Marianna!! Im looking for your “new” blog and the design and everything so much!! Im doing some changes on my blog too. I want to change the name, because I had a blog with my sister, but she doesn’t write posts anymore, so the name anetagabriela.blogspot.com is now bad:D So maby I’ll change also the design. And Im really looking forward to it:) It’s new motivation for me:) And I kinda agree with all of your words here:D I see myself in it so much:D
So fingers crossed! Your “new” blog will be the best! I know that♥

Thanks Kate, I really appreciate it!! X
camille says
I really agree with you. I know once a week is not enough for you but I think it can be good for people who study a lot or have a job next to it. Actually it pushes me to give myself some “me time” where I can do something that I love instead of having my nose in a book or writing an essay (or 10 ahah)

Katre says
I really like your blog! I´ve been reading it years now and probably have´nt comment before, but now I felt I would like to.
You are doing a great job and I really enjoy your posts about your home or pictures about your jewerly etc. I like that it feels like I know you, you are not just posting what-I-am-wearing-pictures thereby no comment about you or about your day (like many bloggers). I actually enjoy your blog the most! Really! You make me feel happy about you and your achievements.
But.. I would be really happy if you would post more often. And maybe do some posts about your make-up, what you are using and how, your everyday ritual, what you use to take off your make-up etc.
I wish you the very best and I´m glad I can read your blog and I have done it for years! 🙂
Greetings from Estonia!
marianna says
That’s so amazing, thank you Katre! You seem like a lovely person leaving a kind comment like that! And yes I agree, posting more often and keeping it varied from outfits to interior and to beauty things, it’s much better than concentrating on just outfits. I love writing about many different things. X

Kate says
Hi Marianna! My name is Kate. I am from Russia. I read your blog for several years and this is my favorite blog. For me as a perfectionist, your blog is the perfect! For several years I watched his development and wanted to create a blog. At the end of last year, my dream came true. My blog http://inspirationkate.blogspot.ru/ daily register for the remainder of 10 to 70 people. This is great progress! When you create your blog, the basis taken yours. Hopefully in the future, my blog will get your own style. And along with it, and I find myself. I look forward to February 1 to see your new blog. I wish you success in business. I look forward to new posts.
marianna says
Thank you Kate! I really appreciate your words! <3 All the good luck with blogging for you too, you have lovely pictures! 🙂
Jessica says
Marianna video posts = <3 <3 <3!
marianna says
Hihi! I really want to learn how to do those! 🙂 I will!
Anna says
Great post Marianna! 🙂 I’m not a blogger (well not anymore because I didn’t have enough time) but I agree with your resolutions for 2015!
Compared to 2013 I think last year was a better blogger year for you. I mean you put more effort in replying to comments, you made way more posts and it felt like you had more fun than you used in 2013 for a little period 🙂
And especially during the last few months you replied to many comments! 🙂 so keep this going!
I think it’s lovely that you recognize some of your readers by their names, and I guess I am one of them 🙂 :D, and that’s just like you’re friends with us! 🙂
But please do me a favor, don’t forget this time to reply to the letters you got from Anna and me. 🙂 :*
You are a lovely person Marianna! Don’t ever change and stay as amazing as you are. <3
marianna says
Thank you Anna. 🙂 Hahah yes you definitely are! 😀 Feeling like being friends with readers, is the best feeling. Ps, tomorrow going to e-mail you. <3

I just started my own blog and most of the goals you have, I’ve made for myself. I can’t commit to everyday posts right now, but when I space them too much I lose inspiration as well!

Really good goals!
Your blog already is amazing, but with the new blog coming & having goals like that; It will even get better!

Yes exactly, I’m wishing good luck to both of us then, we got this! (; X

Wow, what ambitious ideas for your blog. I could never imagine blogging each and every day. But it would be great to hear from you on daily basis. Your blog is amazing. Keep it coming!

I can totally relate to this blog post – it could very well be my own writing. Pauses have been killing my blogging routine, but as you, I am trying to keep it daily.
Keep the good job, your blog is one to follow 🙂
marianna says
Thank you Miriam! 🙂 That’s so funny! But I guess it’s common, when you don’t do something for a while it feels harder to start doing it.
Lottie says
hey marianna!
I never really comment, like you, I mentally give you my compliments etc- haha!
but I just really enjoy reading your blog so much. for a coupla years I always check out your blog, whenever I’m online.
your life in pictures is so inspirering and I know that nobody’s life is perfect, as you said in one of your old posts but still it’s nice to look at such beautiful photos!
I’m excited to see what your blog will be like this year. rely on me as an avid reader:)
one of my goals is to learn suomalainen;) my friend is finnish and you and her both really make me wanna learn that language!
I wish you all the best and may God bless you richly!
lots of love,
lottie xx
marianna says
Hi Lottie! Thank you so much!! <3 Hahah I'm so happy you decided to comment instead of mentally commenting. Your words mean a lot, I feel so lucky to have readers like you 🙂 Good luck with learning the language, step by step! All the best for you too! X
Courtney says
These are all so relatable,and I aim to apply them to apply them to my blog this year as well. Mainly with the posting regularly thing. Last year I fell into a bit of a slump with posting less and less,and truthfully,I had time to post a great deal more,I just kept making excuses. I’ve done much better this year already,and I find truly that the more I put into posting regularly,the more I get out of it!(: Keep up your great work(:

So excited about the new layout and everything else!
The resolutions are really good and I hope you’ll turn them into reality 🙂
Aaah and you’re using the candle lights I send you! Happy to see you like them, need to get a few more for myself 🙂
Have a nice evening Marianna :*

hi, where did you get the little table? 🙂

Susanna says
Mistä toi tarkotin/läppärialusta mikä lie nimeltään onkaan hankittu? Aivan ihana ja just sopivan kokonenkin, sillä tällä hetkellä oma alusta on niin pieni ettei siihen mahdu edes hiirtä viereen.. 😀
marianna says
Se on Stockalta! 🙂 Ollut käytössä loistava! Toinen läppärialusta mulla on Ikeasta, mutta ei olekaan yhtä kivannäköinen…

I’m excited for the blogging changes! You really know what you are doing and I think these changes will help to improve your blog, and also improve your relationship with your readers. I love it when you personally reply to comments – that means a lot! 🙂 I struggle with turning my ideas into reality, too. We can strive for perfection, but nobody is perfect!

Kuulostaapa hyvältä! Olen ihan todella paljon tykästynyt tähän sun “uuteen” postaustahtiin, vaikka kiltisti seurailin jo silloin kun postauksia tipahteli vähän milloin sattui ja joskus ei ollenkaan.. 😉 Myös kommentteihin vastaamisen aktivointi on kiva juttu! Niistä jotenkin vielä lisää huomaa sen, että blogi on bloggaajalle itselleenkin tärkeä juttu ja että huomioidaan myös lukijat (tokihan jo itse postausten teko on lukijoiden huomioimista, en tarkoittanut kuulostaa kiittämättömältä, mutta you know :)). Ja tietysti ylipäätään vuorovaikutus bloggaajan kanssa on kivaa!
Jei, jään innolla odottelemaan blogijuttujasi vuodelle 2015! 🙂
marianna says
Kiitos Sanna 🙂 Voi, ihana kuulla että vankka lukijakunta! <3 Niin myötä- kuin vastoinkäymisissä! 😀 Ja ihan oikeassa olet, kommentteihin vastailua jatkan tiuhemmin, kommentin ja lukijat kuitenkin merkkaavat niin paljon. Suurensuuri kiitos kommentista!
Karen C. says
Marianna,
I am SO excited about your post and your new blog plans! I LOVE reading your blog! I have been a “silent reader” for some time and often identify a lot with you. I love your stye and your pictures. I especially enjoyed reading your previous Q & A posts. I am looking forward to videos, make-up tutorials, and a day with you videos! Thank you for your blogging and all of the inspiration you give me! I look forward for what’s to come!
marianna says
Thank you so much Karen! I just love hearing that, makes me so excited to start doing 🙂 X

Elena says
I miss your cooking post so much! Also, since I’m visiting Helsinki next summer, I’d like to see a post about your favourites places, restaurants and that kind of things. I don’t know, learn more about the city from someone who actually lives there. Anyway, you have been doing a great job with the blog so far!
marianna says
I haven’t done those for a long time, need to do a new one asap! 🙂 Thanks for the tips Elena, and for the sweet words! X
Kasia says
Where did you but this ‘Love’ pillowcase? I love it! 🙂
marianna says
It’s from Stockmann department store, their own label 🙂 Thank you!
Rebecca says
In the beginning of this year I also wrote a blog resolution list (well, at least kind of) and for me it was the best way to keep myself motivated with working on my blog. Unfortunately my exam time wasn’t compartible with my everyday-posting plan, but I think posting 3 to 4 times a week in the busy weeks isn’t that bad at all.
Keeping in touch with your readers is always the most important thing to do – at least in my opinion. That is a big topic I’m working on myself and I really hope it gets better soon.
I’m just gonna see it this way: New year, new luck 😉 xx
Maggie A says
Best of luck! I am looking forward to February on your blog. Although I’m a small blogger in the grand scheme of blogging, I try to keep myself organized by using a blogging journal I started last year. I wrote every single thing down. No idea was too big or too little. It also helped in keeping my inspired because I found that last year was my most consistent year of blogging in over 5 years. I never had writers block because I could always revisit older ideas, develop them and turn them into reality. I am certainly looking forward to the changes on your blog.
