Interview: Melody, life with a dog and a blog!

This week, we have another diary-like blog to share, and we’re sure you will like it!

Melody lives her life with this blog to update, and an ADORABLE corgi dog to pet and care for. She talks every now and then about travels, fitness, or just her getting through life with amily and friends… And of course, her dog.

First, tell us about yourself ! You, your passions, your hobbies, your projects… 

Hi, I’m Melody Pendlebury and I am a really indecisive, mess of a person but I try my best. I am a senior at the University of North Florida as an Elementary Education major. It seems as if I’m ready to graduate and start my career, but honestly, I have a quarter life crisis daily. One thing that’s pretty unique about me is that I’m married. This is shocking to a lot of people because I do look like a 12 year old pretending to be an adult, but I’m actually still young but 22. Even though some people think this is the craziest thing in the world, I’m still a normal 22 year old person and a normal married person trapped into one body. Obviously I’m very passionate about my dog, hence the name of my blog. I am also very passionate about health and fitness. This doesn’t mean that I eat healthy all the time or have a rock hard body, because I like to keep life fun and try not to be too serious. This blog is my first attempt at writing something that I actually want people to read and I still get nervous about every article. I post. Futur projects that I you can expect to see in the future are probably going to be more exercise tutorials and recipes. I love writing about things that interest me and am hoping I’m writing about things that interest other people as well.

What is your blog about? Why? Do you have other blogs? If so, what do they talk about? 

I think my blog (https://lifewithadogandablog.com) is a little scattered brain. If I had to say what the main content of my blog was, it would probably be health and fitness. Other than that, I like to write about vacations I’ve taken, how I have saved money on various things, some lifestyle tips, all while trying to fit my dog into everything. This is the first blog that I have ever written other than my numerous diaries that I never let anyone read growing up. I hope to build and improve my content in the future.

Why did you want to turn your blog ” life with a dog and a blog”  into a book?

in today’s world everything is digital. This isn’t a bad thing because hey, lets save the trees, but sometimes its nice to have a physical copy of something. Since this is the beginning of my first blog I thought it would be good to have something for me to read and show people and hopefully something I can use to reminisce in the future.

How did you find out about BlookUp? 

I found out about BlookUp because their blog followed my blog. I was curious about who they were and started to check them out. I loved how simple and accessible the website was and the the product was something I absolutely loved.

What are the positive and negative points of the making of your blook? 

Making my blook was super easy. All I had to do was press a few buttons and bam, it was finished. The only negative things I could possibly think of about making my blook was that there was not a lot of templates to choose from. This could also be a positive as well because you don’t have to overthink it and you always come out with a beautiful blook.

Do you enjoy the final result? What does your family and friends think about your blook ” life with a dog and a blog “?

i LOVE the the final result! It was so cute and unique and it was awesome to see my blog come to life. My husband also loves my blook and insists that we keep it on the coffee table.

First, tell us about yourself.  You, your passions, your hobbies, your projects…

Hi, I’m Danielle. I’m a Christmas baby, turning 24 just after Christmas.  I’m a critical care nurse. I have a blog and a youtube channel that I run alongside working full time so makes me a very busy woman. When I’m not doing either of these things, I’m either cuddling with my dog and cat or talking my border collie out for long walks.

What is your blog about? Why? Do you have other blogs ? If so, what do they talk about?

My blog is a lifestyle blog so I include everything from my life! My nursing degree and career, university, beauty, fashion, health and sometimes even fitness.

Why did you want to turn your blog into a book?

I wanted to have it as an everlasting memory as my blog is online. Things happen and sometimes things get lost or are gone forever and I wanted something that I could always look back on.

How did you find out about BlookUp?

I found out about BlookUp through fellow bloggers. I got involved because I thought it’s such an amazing idea for anyone with a blog or instagram feed that they work really hard on.

What are the positive and negative points of the making of your blook?

I love that you can pick and choose as many blog posts and you can edit things and review them to make it all perfect. My only downsides were that shipping takes a little while (so be prepared when ordering for a specific date like Christmas/Birthday’s) and the more posts that you add, the more expensive it becomes so it’s just something to be mindful of.

Do you enjoy the final result? What does your family and friends think about your lifestyle blog blook?

I love the final product, it so amazing to see all my blog posts from the past two years.  I love seeing how they developed over to what my blog is today. My family and friends love it and my mum is really jealous cause she would have loved to get me something like that!

Would you recommend BlookUp?

I would definitely recommend BlookUp, it make such an amazing gift for yourself or someone else for Christmas, birthdays, or just to celebrate and having something in print whether it be pictures or your blog posts is such a nice thing to look back on.

Sabrebeauty interview: Body-positivism and self-love!

Sure, most of our beloved Blookers are travelers, but not all of them! Sometimes in the sea of blooks and blogs you can come accross other subjects that also lead you to think about yourself, your relation to your own body, to the judgement of others…

And among those blogs, you can find Sabreabeauty’sHer blog, aimed at both men and women of all ages, shapes, and sizes, promotes self-love and confidence through various posts about beauty and skin care products or lifestyle advices!

First, tell us about yourself : You, your passions, your hobbies, your projects…

I’m Samantha, and I’m a 25 year old blogger. I have a real passion for beauty and self-acceptance! I have a blog over at sabrebeauty.co.uk, that I’ve run for just over a year now.

What is your blog about ? Why ? Do you have other blogs ? If so, what do they talk about ?

My blog is based around beauty and lifestyle. I love to write about my life a lot, so sometimes I treat it like a diary. I like to be able to look back and see how I’ve done throughout the months, and it’s a great way to keep an eye on how I’m doing with my own goals.

Why did you want to turn your blog into a book?

After a year of blogging, I wanted to treat myself to something to memorialise it. Blogging has changed my life in so many ways. I’m so much more confident and I’ve met so many amazing people, some of whom have turned out to be some of the greatest friends I’ve ever had.

How did you find out about BlookUp?

I had a recommendation from a friend, actually! She told me how she had worked with BlookUp in the past, and she loved the result!

What are the positive and negative points of the making of your blook?

Making my Blook was so easy, it practically does all the work for you! The only annoying thing is going back and editing posts, but I’m a stickler for perfection!

Do you enjoy the final result ? What does your family and friends think about your blook?

I absolutely adore my Blook. I’ve showed family and friends and they’ve commented on how professional it looks! It’s so lovely having a physical copy of things I’ve written over the past year. I’ll probably keep it up and buy myself another for my second year of blogging!
