The Roundup: November

blog lifestylowy

Who else is excited that December is already here? November was yet another busy month here on Thirteen Thoughts, and once again, it’s time for a little roundup.

One of the coolest things that happened during November was that one of my posts was featured on Bloglovin’s Blog. Back in August one of my posts was also featured in their e-mail news-teller and I have to say that it was pretty cool.  I also finally hit 2,000 followers on Bloglovin’ and if you’re not following me there yet, you can find my profile right here.

Also, as Thirteen Thoughts is growing, I get more and more emails asking about my blogging equipment, my hosting, blogging platform, etc., that is why I created a Blogging Resources page, where you can find direct links to everything and answers to some of my the most frequently asked questions I get from other bloggers.

I also installed a translator, as I got a few messages from my non-English speaking readers asking for same. So far I have Chech, French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish, but if anyone would like me to add another language, don’t hesitate to ask!

Lastly, I want to let you know that I will be attempting to do Blogmas- which means blogging every day, until Christmas. So….. if you guys can think of any topics/reviews/recipes or anything else that you’d like me to write about, please let me know!

Now, let’s see which posts you liked the most this past month!

    Congrats pretty girl! I love your blog so I’m so excited for you that you are getting recognized for it. I loved your how to create bright photos on a gloomy day. We had soooo many the other week I was really really struggling, so I felt like you wrote just for me! xo

    Congratulations on Bloglovin feature and reaching to 2k:) Your photos are so bright and beautiful. Your photo guide is definitely one of my favourite posts. I should get myself artificial lights since days will get shorter and I only have weekends to take photos. Great roundup!
