Ever had a written block? I know I did. Sometimes I stop enjoying blogging because I feel like I always do the same thing. When that happens I need to sit down and have a huge brainstorm. But posts like this where other people did the work also helps. It doesn't mean I will do exactly what was written, but I can definitely recycle ideas and make them my own.

So here are 20 new blog posts ideas.
Read my first 20 fresh blog post ideas post here.

1. Nail polish of the month round up. Take pictures of all your nail looks and share them with thoughts on the different formulas.
2. Favorites jewelry pieces. Share your most worn or special pieces of jewelry. Either make it some sort of look book, or review or anything else.
3. 5 new skincare you want to try. I don't know about you, but even if I know I should keep somewhat of a steady skincare routine I always want to try new stuff.
4. The best red lipsticks, bronzer or neutral eye shadow in your collection. Because we all have that one thing we have way too much of and kinda become an expert at.
5. Share some inspiration from Pinterest.
6. Do a post about what happened recently in your social medias. Add some Instagram pictures, put some tweets in there. Also, that can be a fun way to self promote.
7. Talk about something completely different. You like history? Sports? Hiking? Genealogy? Cats? Science? Do something unexpected!
8. What is on your home walls? Share the artworks you see every day.
9. You have some special way you organize your cloth? A special storage for the pantry? Or maybe a DIY jewelry organizer? Share some storage and organizations tips!
10. Share your loved ones best outfits. I definitely want to do that with my cats.
11. Talk about your city or neighborhood and why you love it. Or hate it, I don't know.
12. Share the details of your favorite travel or your perfect future travel plans. We all can dream!
13. Take us on a journey on your personal fashion. Share your style over the years.
14. What does your perfect home would look like? Don't forget inspirational photos of decor you want to recreate!
15. Pick up a calendar. There is a themed day for everything. Did you know that October 14th is pickle day? Or that June 10th is iced tea day? Create a post around that.
16. Share your favorite recipe. Healthy or indulgent, we all love a good eat.
17. Make a list of new things you want to try or learn.
18. Try a few Pinterest hacks and review the final results.
19. Share some love with your favorite posts from other bloggers. I'm not going to tell you to make this part of the list but…
20. What do you work/study in? How does it change your vision of the world? Or what can you teach us?

My brain tired now from all that brainstorming. See you later and don't forget to let me a link if any of these inspire you!

Today I am happy to introduce you to the new Gendots design! Yay! I've been working on it for a while now and I'm happy it's finally out!

Technically, it's the same layout, but I changed the colors, the logo and I think the general feel of the blog. I don't have enough coding abilities to do a whole theme from the ground up, so I worked with what I had.

I think it works better with me and my vision of this website. It's really clean and let the pictures shine.

I also changed the picture of me on the side bar. I'm not 100% pleased with it, so it might end up re-changing soon. But the last one was there for over a year and I feel like I changed and the blogged changed as well, so it just made sense to change it with the new design.

I say the blog has changed, and not only do I more carefully write my content (and (now) check spelling) but the one thing I can see the biggest difference is in my photography skills. I year ago I though I was a good photographer because I had a couple cool photos and some photography classes behind me, but when I look back at my blog photos from back then, they look really bad.

Here is an example of a picture from last year and one from last week post. I mean, can they look anymore different?




I didn't how to use light at all. It's still a work in progress and I still have place for improvement, but I'm proud of how far I've come.

Blogging have also become more than a simple hobby I was doing from time to time. It's a part of my life now and I feel really bad if I can't stick to my schedule like I've been doing lately. I also started working with a couple of brands, which is something I never though I could do in a million years. I'm no big blogger by any means, but Gendots have grown so, so much in the last year.

I hope you like the new design and I'll see you soon with a new post!

I'm having the worst writing block lately and I feel like there's a lot of fellow bloggers who are feeling the same this summer. It always happens once in a while, but this summer have been particularly bad on the idea (and motivation) side. I found myself searching for this kind of post quite a lot in the last weeks and found that they usually offer the same, sometimes obvious, ideas. That is why I decided to write my own post idea list. This is nothing ground breaking, but I think it might inspire more than just listing the usual review and FOTD. I hope you get inspired!

2. Take your readers around your working space or vanity

7. Research a beauty related ingredient and tell us why it's good - or bad
8. Write about a more personal subject if you feel like sharing, who knows who you could help out there!
