Blogs We Love – Happiness & Positivity!

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to our Blogs We Love series! If you’re a regular reader of the RT blog you’ll know we are big on staying positive, feeling inspired & being happy!

There are so many fabulous blogs out there filled with lots of encouragement & tips on living a happy lifestyle. In fact, you can check out some lists here & here!

Below are three blogs / websites that we love visiting for daily advice & inspo. These are filled with helpful tips around mental health, living a balanced life, self-love & some personal insights on a wealth of life experiences.

Happiness Is, ran by singer-songwriter, artist & design Shannon Eileen, is a wonderful blog / website focusing on positivity & creative inspiration. Starting as a hobby, Shannon began blogging in 2009 – since then Happiness Is has massively grown & is has acquired a fab readership of those seeking positivity, life advice & artistic inspo.

We love that Shannon’s blog covers so many categories & that she provides such a personal insight to her readers around motherhood, food, shopping & best of all, getting happy! She also has wonderful design sense & we feel happy just reading her posts around home decor.

When asked how she stays so positive, Shannon says: I don’t. But this blog helps put things in perspective. Choosing happy subject matter helps me remain focused on the positive. If on the rare occassion I write about something that’s bothering me, it’s to ask for your help or advice. This blog is a tiny sliver of my life. I try my best to lead a joyful existence, but I go through ups and downs just like everyone else. 

We love Happiness Is & think it’s definitely worth a visit! Here are a couple of images from Shannon’s blog, including an adorable one with her son! You can follow Shannon on Instagram @shanrockeileen!
