I've been off my birth control for about 3 years now and I have to say that quitting probably was one of the best decisions I made in my twenties. Even though it was a great method to prevent pregnancy, for me personally, I started to feel things weren't right anymore. I couldn't really pin point as to why but considering I had been taking the pill for already a good 8 years, I figured that it wasn't actually such a crazy idea to maybe stop taking it. I was 24 at the time and I started to get worried about the effects of taking the pill long term, I didn't feel good and I just wanted everything to be okay. Apart from my boyfriend, I didn't actually have a lot of support when it came to quitting the pill. Not from my doctor and not from my family. Everyone thought it was weird, why come off the pill if you don't want to make babies?

Finding the perfect way to edit your pictures isn't always that easy. I know it wasn't for me. As a blogger it is important to keep your content interesting, we want those clicks, we want those likes. Not just for the numbers - but to make sure that our hard work is seen, that our stories are heard and that our photos are shared, pinned and reposted. Having content that is visually pleasing is the goal of every blogger, it's the first thing people see when they visit your blog or website. Of course not all bloggers focus heavily on their photography but it is a great way to set your blog apart from others and attract more readers. I've been asked many times about how I edit my blog / Instagram photos so here it is, all my editing secrets spilled in one consistent post.
