Happy Monday, guys!
Our Oslo summer has been a mix of sunny days and unexpected rainstorms, making each day an adventure. The past two weeks have been like that for me, and for most people too. I have had my mom and brothers visiting. Summer family activities, website redesign, home workout tips, and Oslo summer evenings with beautiful sunsets are just some of the fun I have had over the past weeks.
Even though I have been a little MIA, I have been working on the IHF website behind the scenes. Do some of you even recognize the website anymore? It’s completely different, with a new theme and layout.
Hope you guys love it as much as I do (heart). The new IHF website features a completely different theme and layout that enhances user experience.
The weather in the capital of Norway has been up and down. Since April/May, the weather has been stable, but June was different with lots of rainstorms, and the hottest days were HOT. What a contrast of balance right? A tiny bit confusing, as you never knew what to expect each day.
How to Stay Motivated During Summer Workouts
Gym has been great, despite missing a couple of days last week. I have been focusing on bodyweight exercises, which are excellent when done correctly.
Bodyweight workout benefits include improved muscle strength and better resistance. I find the best workout programs on YouTube. You can easily do these workouts from home with a simple search of what you are looking to target.
The best tip when working out without manuals, using only body weight, is to focus on the specific muscle you’re engaging mentally. Locate the area you’re exercising in your mind, and while doing it, focus on those muscles simultaneously with the exercise.
Top Winter Travel Destinations to Escape the Cold
I haven’t been traveling yet as I had great hopes for an Oslo summer this year. It has been great, but at times, quite wet. I love rain, but you kind of expect sun and hot summer days when it’s in season, right? I am looking to travel later this year, hopefully during winter. Escaping snowstorms, dark, and chilly days is something I look forward to.
I have been made aware of South America and the Canary Islands as some of the best destinations during winter. A colleague of mine mentioned Antigua and the South of France. Antigua seems like a top pick for those looking to relax and enjoy sunny, long days along with the beach, especially if you live in Scandinavia or Northern Europe like myself. Indonesia and Qatar have also been mentioned frequently in my research.
How to Choose the Best Blogging Equipment and Services
I decided to work on the IHF website before creating more content and writing for you. I have been writing as usual every day. I only decided to stop posting for two weeks to get the website ready to re-launch.
The website and theme I had before were something I was proud of, but only because I spent so much time on them. Countless hours, sleepless nights, and frustration went into building the first website. It was a learning curve to say the least hihi.
Now that I have more experience, I wanted to create my dream website, which is the one you’re looking at now. Go take a look at each page from your desktop computer or your tablet/phone and see for yourself!
There are new pages on this website: YouTube Channel, Landing page, and Shop Inspireherfaith Favorites.
Here´s a breakdown of each page:
How to Grow a YouTube Channel for Bloggers
On YouTube Channel – You’ll find information on my new idea of reading each blog article or perhaps even talking more on there so you guys can get to know me on a more personal level.
I have linked my YouTube channel on this page. Check out the YouTube channel page where I will discuss blog articles and connect with you on a more personal level.
Growing a YouTube channel can be challenging if you aren’t creating quality content. I remember the days when I published content on YouTube back in 2021. It was fun, a little passion of mine.
My channel grew fast within a year. The difference between then and now is that my content was only beauty and fashion-related.
This is completely different from what I write and talk about nowadays. This doesn’t mean that fashion and beauty aren’t among my interests anymore; I still love them.
My focus has just shifted, and I have chosen to show a different side of myself online, even though these interests don’t necessarily align with each other.
Creating a Landing Page for New Website Visitors
This page Landing is created for new visitors where you will find quick information about what this website is all about.
Having a landing page can be very useful, as it allows new visitors to quickly navigate and find more information about a website. From experience, I know that sometimes it’s unclear which website I have wandered into, so it’s great to have a place where visitors can easily access key information through a landing page.
While an About page is valuable, it can sometimes take longer to read through if visitors are only looking for a quick introduction to your website. It´s great for SEO purposes also (in the long-run).
