It is always nice to get fresh inspirations and ideas for your blog posts which we may not necessarily have thought of ourselves. I think it is also pretty common for us to naturally gravitate toward the same topic genres of preference, so stepping outside of our own "box" does not always come naturally.

For this reason, I have decided to publish a weekly list of potential ideas for those of you publishing to the Lifestyle Lounge Community to make use of, should you so wish. There is absolutely nothing obligatory about this list, it is merely there to motivate and inspire - Even if one of the ideas does nothing more than trigger another idea for a post, SUPER! So, with that said, welcome to...

THE WEEKLY - No. 5

Lifestyle Lounge Blog Inspirations for the Week ahead

Fear Factor

We all have fears. Well, most of us anyway. Perhaps you have a fear of water or drowning, or maybe something more mundane like driving a car or bugs. Fears come in all shapes and sizes... literally and figuratively. How we learn to overcome them or manage them is a large part of our growth as individuals. Use this prompt opportunity to share one (or more) of your fears, if you overcame it/them and then share how - or if it still follows you around, how do you cope when confronted with it.

The Becoming of YOU.

We all face adversity and challenge along the journey of life, but on the flip side of that coin we experience many joys and pleasures down the road too... some more notable than others. Was there a single moment that dramatically changed your life and played a primary role in who you have become today, or have their been several notable things which you have gone through which you consider to have played a role in shaping who you are now? Tell us a little bit about those experiences and why they impacted you and your life course in such a large way.

Your Writing Place...

Perhaps you frequent a local coffee shop to escape the world and write your blog posts. Maybe you grab a blanket and head out into your garden, or perhaps you simply choose to write at your desk or the dining room table. We all have our favourite spots where we know we can sit down and get completely lost in writing. Show us yours, tell us what makes that particular space special for you and why it "just works". If you have a few "go to" places... share them all!

The Cosmetic Collection

Ok, so this one is probably a little better suited to the ladies - but it is not at all exclusive. Men may not wear make-up but many have pretty impressive skin care routines these days... so that angle is also perfectly welcome with this prompt, just adjust the title accordingly. - but for the ladies, let's see your top five "go to" beauty products... you know... the ones which you would simply NEVER go without. Showcase them and tell us why they are your favourites. Give some real time info on them as well if you can - like where they can be purchased, how much they cost etc.

The AMA Invite

AMA's are a huge part of encouraging blog reader and writer engagement. Invite your followers to engage in a "Ask me Anything" comment thread. If you take a personal approach then anything goes so be willing to let your guard down and answer whatever comes your way as honestly as possible. Perhaps you want to do an AMA that is content specific - perhaps a skill you have a lot of knowledge on or something you are just really good at. Title the blog accordingly and get some commentary going!

Well there you go, a working weeks worth of inspiration.
