SMILE, IT'S SUNDAY: You Are Influential

Sunday 7 September 2014


As I have only just created this blog I was very eager to get a post up, however, at the same time I didn’t want to post for the sake of it. So I thought about what I really wanted this blog to be about and decided I didn’t want to just ramble on about products post after post. I thought about the blogs and the people who I look up to and decided to make this post about the people who I find influential and share great positivity.

The first person who immediately popped into my head is Hannah Snowdon. Hannah is known for her amazing artwork and tattoo creations (it’s a dream, if I were ever to have a tattoo, to have my first tattoo done by her.) For me, I also love her style and most importantly admire the way she promotes such positivity in her social media.


On her Instagram (@hannahpixiesnow), along with posting her artwork and sharing her life, she also posts very inspiring quotes and shares her views on subjects I feel are so relevant nowadays. These posts speak about being a better person from the inside out and how we can help share positivity with others as well. She is also part of a blog - http://living-light-blog.tumblr.com/ - which posts about their beliefs in veganism and to provide information for people interested in changing their own lifestyle. Whether you believe in eating meat/produce from animals or not (I don’t actually know a great deal about veganism), this blog is so refreshing and I feel like, in the only words I can think of, I can change the world after coming off it. 

I feel nowadays we live in a society where we put ourselves down constantly and the pressures of fitting in are unbelievable. Therefore, it’s rare to find people like Hannah who spread such positive energy. That’s why I feel I need to share social media accounts like Hannah’s to show how influential we can all be and how easy it is to spread positivity, because I know whenever I’m feeling down I look to these accounts to make myself feel better again.

Another person online who I feel spreads positivity is Sammi Maria, better known as BeautyCrush on youtube. As well as posting her beauty and fashion videos she also occasionally posts videos about being confident in yourself, which I find really useful and makes me feel a lot more inspired after watching.

I've just realised this post is becoming very wordy so if you're looking for any other healthy/happy promoting social media accounts I would recommend searching in the tags on Tumblr/Instagram or wherever for things like 'happy', 'healthy', 'lifestyle' and you will hopefully find motivational quotes and photos there. 

I hope you found this post useful and if you have any other useful websites/social media accounts please leave them in the comments below
