Bloggers, we've all been there- am I right? The joyous time when you click on your blog to edit it, only to realise you haven't really got anything to talk about; like writer's block, blogger's block sees no restraint- so what do you do instead of aimlessly staring at your laptop screen? Now, without rambling for too long, the tip I'd give anybody is get inspired- and that's because it works: go on Pinterest, WeHeart It, scroll through Instagram, read other blog posts, but mainly, get your creative juices flowing again. Whether this will be inspiring or helpful we'll have to see, but here are a few prompts and ideas if you've been hit with the infamous blogger's block...

B E A U T Y
1. Show us what you've been loving lately or what's in your monthly makeup bag- I know I'd love a nosy peek!
2. Got any products that have just hit the market? Do a 'New In: ...' or perhaps a 'First Impressions' post!
3. Love a particular brand? Why not do an entire makeup look with their products, or do a brand review?
4. If you're constantly trying new bits, or if you've found a hidden a gem, why not show us a product of the week/month?
5. Seasonal looks are always a favourite of mine, whether it be Valentine's Day or Halloween- why not show your readers your take on a season in a look?
6. Found a hack that seems to be too good to be true? Try it out and share your experience!
7. Show us your skincare routine, because who doesn't love discovering a miracle product?
8. Be product or season specific and do an 'edit' post- show us your favourite products for the season or say, your favourite highlighters & so on...
9. Keep it short and sweet with a 5 product or 5-10 minute makeup routine- after all, who has time to be carving out a cut crease every day of the week?!
10. Strip your makeup collection down, if you could only keep one product from each category... what would you keep?
11. We all have some pretty bad habits, so why not discuss the ones that involve beauty?
12. Feeling your makeup of the day? Show us!
13. We all love a dupe, so if you've found one that's a close call- don't resist sharing it!
14. On the other hand, if you've had products that didn't make the cut- show us too! Personally, these posts are some of my favourites because I don't want to be wasting money on products that don't work!
15. Show us how you store your makeup- the more affordable, the better!
16. Leading on, why not show us your dressing table/makeup area? Now I don't know about you, but I love having a nose into others' tables and getting inspiration for my own!
17. Do a "Worth the Hype?" post, there's been a fair share of products in the beauty halls of fame so why not put them to the test and see if they're worth it?
18. Tell us more brands you'd love to try products from, after all... we can't have tried every brand on the market!
19. Talk us through your favourite brushes!
20. Why not recreate a celebrity look?
21. Do a 'How much is my face worth?' post where you show us a look, count up the cost of the products and probably convince yourself to go on a spending ban afterwards!
22. Do a round-up of your 'Top 10 Under £...'
23. Talk about products other bloggers and influencers made you buy, "Blogging Made Me Buy It".
24. Try Pinterest dupes or hacks and see whether they're really what they're made out to be!
25. Leading on, if you have any hacks of your own... share them!
26. Show us, say, 5 different looks from one palette
27. Dig up some old photos and show your makeup evolution, this is a funny one I promise!
28. Do a makeup swap with a friend
29. Create a beauty cheatsheet for a particular skill or set of products and share it- these are a hit on Pinterest!
30. Love or loathe the current beauty trends? Express your thoughts and tell us why!
