Best of Blogtober: Week 3

Best of Blogtober: Week 3 | Writing Between Pauses

Welcome back to week 3 of my Best of Blogtober series! I love doing this series, as I said last week, because it gives me an excuse to read nearly every blog post that comes across my timeline. I love finding new favorite blogs to read.

One new blogger I wanted to share this week is my sister-in-law and her friends new blog, the Lady Chat. Amy has guest posted on my blog before and she is funny, cheery, and always good for talking pop culture. I am so excited about this new venture and especially excited to read every blog post.

Without further ado, let’s get into it. Here are my favorite blog posts from this week:

1. What’s Stopping Your Home from Being a Haven? from Solely Living

2. Top 5 Wellness Apps from Emily Aagaard

3. How I Manage My Time as a Banker & Blogger from Halsadiya Blog

4. Bake With Me: Snickerdoodles from Simply Michelle

5. Black History Month: My Experience Growing Up Black in a White Area from Leticia C

6. My Personal NaNoWriMo Prep Kid from Anisa Nasir

7. Why Babies Can’t Drink Water from the Pink Crib

Best of Blogtober: Week 2

Best of Blogtober: Week 2 | Writing Between Pauses

Hello and welcome to another week of my best of Blogtober series! In this series, I’m highlight 5-10 blog posts that I’ve loved through the previous week.

This week has been a bit of a rollercoaster for me. On Sunday, I had the (somewhat shocking) realization that I turn 30 on Saturday. And while I thought I was fine, totally fine, with that… I found myself lying in bed sobbing hysterically. Then I couldn’t sleep. I managed to turn myself around by Tuesday, but it was a rough few days and I fell very behind in both my Blogtober writing and reading. But just writing that out just now made me feel a lot better (weird how that works, right?) and I am ready to try to get ahead on Blogtober again.

All that to say: writing that made me feel loads better; I had a ton of great blog posts to choose from this week; and reading all those blog posts really helped improve my mood. Here are my top links from this past week. Hope you enjoy!

1. Maternity Outfit: Conkers & Pumpkins from Rebel Angel Blog

(Can you tell I read Sian’s blog religiously?! We’ve been blogger friends for ages, but now that she’s doing pregnancy diaries every week, I find myself refreshing to see if she uploads one!)

2. How to Get Your Autumn Wardrobe on the Cheap from Bee Money Savvy

3. A Weekend in Boca Grande, Florida from Carley Creative Concepts

4. The Upside of My Job from Weird & Liberated

5. Michael Bublé by Invitation Noir from Kabuki Rune

6. Jane Iredale Triple Luxe Lipsticks Review from Sparkle & Style

7. How to Support Small Businesses from An Ocean Glimmer

Best of Blogtober: Week 1

Best of Blogtober: Week 1 | Writing Between Pauses

I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, bringing back Carousels. Remember Carousels?! They were just posts where a blogger shared everything they’d read on other blogs that week—or a selection of their favorites if they were particularly voracious readers.

I wanted to introduce this year a best of Blogtober weekly round up: all my favorite posts from some of my favorite bloggers. I’ll also be tagging them all on Twitter and in my Instagram stories. I’ve also started a Pinterest board for all of my Best of Blogtober bloggers!

Without further ado, here are my favorite Blogtober posts from the first week! (This week, I’m keeping it simple and not adding much of my own filler to this list!)

1. 31 Halloween Movies for People Who Don’t Like Horrors from Indie Rose Psycho

2. We’re the Weirdos Mister from Cardigan Jezebel

3. My Autumn Bucket List from Chloe Lauren

4. How to Have a Hygge Home This Autumn from Emily Aagaard

5. 10 Things You Need to Do in Your First Month Blogging from Quarter Life Quest

6. 5 Tips for an Autumn Night In from Rebel Angel

7. The Little Book of Self-Care for New Mums from Hannah’s Life Diaries

8. Why It Can Be Hard for People to Reach Out from Breakfast At Shelby’s
