3 simple steps that will change the way you blog

If you've been reading my blog long enough you'll notice that I have already in one way or another spoken about the things I'm about to mention now, but since Q+A's, Blog Conversations and Tip Posts are fairly long, I decided to search for 3 basic things to turn your blog around that have helped me and transformed me; not only as a blogger but which have also made a difference in my personal life.

Moodboard 01

Moodboard 01

I'm so happy to finally post the first moodboard of the year because I'm in desperate need of inspiration, friends. We are running a sale at the shop while I give the new collection the last finishing touches and may I just say it's been incredibly hard but also an extremely wonderful time in my life, I making loads of changes in the next few months that hopefully will make my work life easier so that I can take advantage of the blessings around me. I cannot thank you enough for always being there for me BUT I am planning a huge giveaway as a way to say thank you, cheers, merci, gracias, obrigada, grazie, danke and else.

All my love,
Ana

P.S. Tomorrow: Blog Conversation

St. Laurentius

St. Laurentius

Oh, hello there! If by chance you've noticed I've been MIA lately let just me say, I am SO sorry. I've been extra busy these days and even simple things like traveling for a few hours and going from point A to point B puts a lot of strain on me. Free time has consisted of pinterest and web browsing, online shopping and other indoor activities this week and I'm so ready for the weekend. I must admit thought, I like peaceful days at home, they allow me to find little gems like St. Laurentius and fall in love with far away places and spaces.

Your turn, How are you + what are your loving lately?

Q + A

Q + A

I received an absurd amount of emails during the Holidays, and through them I got to meet so many new readers. I cannot even explain how you helped me and how blessed I feel that so many of you show genuine interest in the things I write and blog about. Thank you for trusting my word and joining me in my journey.

Tamari and Ginger Chicken with Nori Seaweed

One of the things I love the most about "What Katie Ate" is the Katie is a true foodie. One that likes healthy, clean and tasty food. Times like this when I find a recipe for Tamari and Ginger Chicken with Nori Seaweed and Black Sesame Rice makes my heart go boom boom and my mouth water thinking of the time when I chow down on this... And friends, that time will be tonight. Dinner for one, yay!

It's no secret, friends. I am completely and exaggeratedly infatuated with Pinterest. This trusty and magical relationship started when last year I found myself knee-deep in work  for 18 days in a row. That was the hardest season for me. ever. All I did was work, eat and sleep a couple of hours every day. As I started looking for little bits of distraction I found that pinning rocked my world. I'm a very visual person so all the things I store in there actually inspire my daily life.  This week I'm loving: 01. Beanies 02. Matte black nails 03.  Dreaming of Iceland 04.  Katie's amazingly attractive book 05. Poached eggs for breakfast 06. Messy eyebrows  07. White roses 08. This print because I say this ALL the time 09. More tats because, why not. 
Your turn! What are you loving?
