Another blog review
One of the blogs that I like to visit often is Fat Mum Slim who is an Australian blogger living in Sydney. She talks a bit about her daughter and other personal things in her life, but I really enjoy her tips on blogging and the practical advice she gives. Simple things such as the most effective blogs have light backgrounds, rather than dark. Or talking about the 'rule of thirds' when taking photos. I have often applied her advice to my own blogging to try and improve page views. It is definitely a blog I would advise checking out, especially if you are a blogger yourself!

Custom content
So I have been thinking a little bit about what to post on this blog that is 'personalised' - what do I want it to represent? What do I want to be known for?
Honestly, I have found it difficult because I already have a personal blog where I fulfill this, and then I thought, hey! That is something I love: blogging. And not just that but discovering other blogs. So throughout this semester I am going to share with you some of my favourite little slices of the internet. Here goes nothing!
Growing up with a mum who is an artist has definitely allowed me to be more appreciative of all different kinds of art. However, my favourite art is the stuff that challenges society and has a dry sense of humour. Blog world, meet Marc Johns. As soon as I saw his artwork, I felt at home. I thought 'this is me'. Some of his artworks I can relate too a little too well, but every time I visit his blog I find myself in hysterics. Here are some of my favourite artworks of his.

(Definitely pokes fun at the first world mentality that goes 'I didn't need it but it was cheap so how could I not buy it?')
I also posted about this on my personal blog, here. Pop over and visit!
