Beginners Guide for Blogspot/Blogger

When I started blogging (not long ago) I really didn't know where to start from. There were three options - WordPress, Blogger or some smaller platform like Wix or Jimdo. I was really interested in what Ghost can offer, but we will have to wait a few more months before it comes out. Most friends suggested WordPress, because it is a lot easier, prettier and it's the biggest blogging platform around, but I preferred Blogger (Blogspot). Sometimes I regret my decision, but the whole experience is really fun.
When you are new to the platform you really don't know what to do first. Start with choosing the right name. Think a lot about that. There is no turning back (you can make a new one, of course). But if you are making a blog, you probably already know what you'll be writing about. If you have the resources - buy a domain. It is always the better choice. This way you have more options, more features and you can more easily promote your site.
I know my blog is not the best example for beauty and style, but you might be more talented, might be more innovative and you could do a better use from the guides I'll share with you. When I started I had all these questions and had to browse for hours to find the answers. So I'll give you the articles which helped me most.

The Three Stages of Writing Songs

With almost everything in life, you need a plan. You need a clean and concise strategy to achieving a goal. Writing a song is actually a lot like launching a rocket into space.

Why, I hear you ask?

Well, you've got to put a lot of time and energy into launching the song (into space), followed by developing your idea whilst it’s in orbit, and then finally bringing it back down to Earth by rewriting and finishing it off.

You can’t expect a song to be the finished article within the first stage, or second stage for that matter. Very rarely will you experience this moment of genius, and it’s where a lot of people struggle when writing songs on the guitar, piano or lyrics. Next time you sit down to write a chord structure, a lyric or a catchy chorus, try this three-stage writing process – it may help!

How to stop snoring? If you are living with a partner, snoring could cause a lot of tension in your relationship - not allowing your mate to have a good sleep for days, months or even years is really irritating. Don't try to solve your problem by sleeping separately, because that will bring even more trouble to your relationship - you will start feeling more isolated, the intimacy between the both of you will disappear. 
And even if you are living alone, snoring is affecting you, without even knowing. Did you know, that snoring can affect the quality of your sleep? You will be more irritable, because of poor sleep and you will feel exhausted during the days.

The Healthiest Foods for Losing Weight

Living a healthy life shouldn't be a fashion trend, but something natural, something you desire, because it takes a lot of dedication. It shouldn't be for some periods of time, but instead, you should make it a way of life, healthy food to be part of your regular everyday living. Physicians say, that the key for losing weight is not only exercising. Actually about 70% of the whole process is about what you eat. So you might be doing every exercise right, you might be doing enough cardio, and you might be actually burning some of the fats, but if you continue eating junk food, you won't get far.


And here is the real question – what are the healthiest foods for losing weight?

Supplements You Need for Bulking Up

​People are trying all different ways to gain weight. Weight loss might be a more popular topic, but gaining it is also as important. And some people are trying it all – eating different foods, trying diets, eating a lot or eating junk food, training and never doing cardio. The problem with some is their bodies have incredibly fast metabolisms so regular food is not enough. This is why scientists have came up with the idea for supplements. They give you the right nutritions, for which you would have to eat a huge amount of food, to get them the natural way.

What supplements do you need for bulking up? Some people are sceptical and think supplements will ruin your body. It might be true, if you are buying some cheap products. It also might be true, if you are buying the wrong things for your body. And we are talking about supplements, not steroids.

The New Doctor Who Revealed

[SPOILERS]

Ladies and gentleman, your answer is finally here - the new Doctor Who is Peter Capaldi. It's been long few months since the announcement of Matt Smith's departure. Since then there have been many speculations about who the Twelfth Doctor will be. Most people thought Ben Daniels was the obvious choice, others where thinking of Damien Molony and David Harewood. Even Daniel Radcliffe was on the list. There were rumours about a female Doctor. But this is all in the past.

I have to say, Peter Capaldi is the perfect choice. A very talented actor, one of the best in his generation. Oscar winner, many BAFTA (TV and Film) awards and nominations, known for his famous role of Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It, he has proven his skills.
