What WAS the PowerHouse Creatives community, has had an overhaul, revamp and re-brand. A fresh look and an entirely NEW direction. The purpose of this post is to give clarity on the community itself, what sort of content is now suitable for publishing to our page and obviously to inform everyone of the change so that moving forward we can offer the readers an interesting and exciting feed to browse.

LIFESTYLE BLOG INSPIRATIONS

Lifestyle blogs cover an array of topics like food, travel, fitness, sports, fashion, beauty etc. and yes, we do have existing communities on Hive which facilitate the "standard" type of posts which would be published into those spaces (such as recipes are suited to the foodies beehive) but there are plenty of OTHER foodie posts which would actually be better suited to a lifestyle feed than a foodie feed - and this is applicable to many of the other content genres too... so I am going to approach this post in a categorised manner, outlining some ideas and inspirations by topic.
