This is soooo dumb but when I think of “all the stuff that doesn’t fit anywhere else” I think JUNK DRAWER. Not saying ANYTHING on your blog is JUNK, obvs. I loveeee your videos. Have I never commented before? Shoooo, my B, my B. You’re adorable and fab. End of story.
Yes and yes to the PJs and the weekend foods! And I hear the blogging boredom thing too – I’m going through a rough patch myself. I’m trying to make up more recipes to get over it.
Sadly I’m not too great with coming up with headlines or titles so I can’t help you out there! But I am excited to see the new tab.. your recipe one is very helpful!
Girl, you are the cutest. I totally know what you mean as far as questioning whether or not more emphasis on food is necessary. I’m a new blogger and have quickly become moderately obsessed. But just wanted to say hello and how much I enjoy your blog. Have a wonderful weekend!
Loved that. You’re great..this is my first time viewing and I just may stick around or definitely will. This came to mind: Misc. Mosh..Misc. and Match..or something like that. Since it’s miscellaneous..misc. play on mix..oh you get it. Hope something brilliant comes to mind! Good luck!
I just wanted to let you know that I think you’re so gorgeous!
I can totally relate to and understand the blogging identity crisis… it’s hard to learn a balance and what works for you… but you’ll find it eventually!
I know you posted your recipes to your fake ice cream… but the recipes don’t really give accurate measurements. I guess I’m curious as to how much chia gel you use and how much fruit (frozen or fresh), how much cocoa powder, etc. goes into that! You don’t HAVE to answer, I’m just curious. I suppose I could experiment myself (but I’m lazy!)! (:
Thank you so much my dahlink
I know, I’m so bad with measurements, right?! So annoying! Here are some approximations: 1/4 cup chia gel, 2-4 cups fruit, 1-2 T carob powder. Hmm. I hope that helps. I literally just dump everything in the food processor and hope it turns out!
I totally agree with Lyss! NOTHING on your blog is junk – but based on the description you just gave – Junk Drawer is perfect, and in MY opinion, totally fits with your sense of humor
I guess I’m having an identity crisis too. I haven’t wanted to post, take pictures, or write about food. Plus, I’ve been eating the same thing like everyday so it gets really boring. Hopefully we get out of this funk soon. But I agree, amy’s blog is stunning! I bet you could be just as creative with your own style.
As long as you write about things you know and things that are important to you and that you enjoy, I’m sure it will be fine. I like when you do videos, the ones about makeup and skin care were really useful. I went out and got the Phisoderm facial wash after watching your video and it’s worked better than anything else I tried.
Hey Erin! I gotta say that I cracked up when Rob walked in and your cats started meowing like mad! My fur babies do that when Jason walks in the door, too!
I really like your videos and hope you keep doing them. I’m not a great “tab” namer, but I’m sure someone will come up with something brilliant for you!
I say write about whatever. I’ll read/watch you shiz. I also totally understand, that’s why I like adding in different posts on diff topics here and there. It breaks up all the food! LOL
Always lookin so gorgeous! I’m excited to check out the new tabs- especially the meal planning and recipes. Excited to see what changes you make. Your man CRACKS me up. What about Roasts (Random Posts)
My favorite food blogs are not my favorite because of the food but rather for the story around the food, and I think this new angle of your blog fits into that. I am excited for you to share a little bit of this and a little bit of that with us!
[...] I have a confession: I’ve been putting off blogging all day. Why? Well, I’ve been in kind of a weird place the last few days, and haven’t wanted to whine about it. But whine about it I must (for a few seconds), or I have a feeling I won’t post for days. Either that, or I’m having a blogging identity crisis. [...]
I miss you a lot. This video reminded me of why. In fact, I’m a little teary about it. Rob is hilarious, and I loved listening to your laugh. I hope you find a great new blog identity, and I’ll be reading!!!
You are SO pretty! I love your hat and this video! I know what you mean about the blogger identity crisis. I find myself taking pictures of my oats like 5 times in a row and I’m like, well this is boring.
You remind me so much of my cousin in California! She’s so cute and amazing and so are you!
If I wore that hat I would certainly look like Fivel the Mouse, but you look wonderful!
I think I am having a similar identity crisis. I love your idea for a new tab, but I can’t think of a name right now. My creative juices are definitely not flowing this AM.
I don’t typically comment or anything love your blog so much-it’s def one of my faves! You guys totally crack me up and it’s just a blast to read your posts. Okay. So because I have a slight (er ok..totally obsessed) love for Rachel Zoe I was thinking maybe the new category could be:
1)”On Another Level” Ha. I use whatever excuse I can to slip in a Zoe-ism.
Other one’s that have nothing to do with the Zoe:
2) This and That
3) Bits and Pieces
Erin, you have the cutest personality in the entire universe. I reallllllly love your blog. I’d read anything you write, not just about food. Actually, I love that you don’t ONLY write about food. You know I just went through that whole thing, too, seeing as I flipped out publicly on my blog… even though I later deleted it… haahhaha. It’s okay if you don’t blog about food every single post. We still love you and will be here no matter what… and if not, haters to the left, plz.
Love your videos! Looking forward to checking all the fun new things out. Gotta go back and listen to the beginning of your vid to catch the name of the blog you mentioned.
I saw someone mention that you look like their cousin and I was going to say the same thing. You could be my cousin Kim’s twin!
[...] baby, but I’ll risk it. I don’t really want to quit writing, I just am going through a serious blogging identity crisis. So, instead of quitting, I will try my best to [...]
why do i love your videos so much?! oh, maybe because i love YOU so much?!
i love yo style
i’m excited to see where this new blog identity takes ya- i’ll be here no matter what
i totally agree about the food thing– getting sick of it as well, which is why i try to throw fitness and other stuff in there.
have a great night <3
OMG OMG i f*cking do not deserve that praise! BUT i will take it because I bow to you, you are the queen of life, and i could not ask for a better role model <<– yes, yes, erin is my role model everyone, and I think she's a fine one at THAT!
BUT seriously….I don't deserve attention or compliments in your video. You are too funny. I wish I was YOU.
Eyebrow tweaking…loves it. Hola….rob…loves it. FOOD omg get the hell out of my mind 24/7. K thx. Bye.
LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE you. Im obnox, by the way.
You’re so effing amazing! I loved the part where you were freaking out about Rob walking through the door It made me smile.
I have a blog identity crisis at least once a week. No big! I love you no matter what and enjoy reading about your recipe/meal planning because it’s something I aspire to do…not sure when I’ll actually do it, but that’s half the fun!!!
[...] my beloved chickpea spread. Where’s the hummus love? I’m not quite going through an identity crisis…yet…but I do need to work on some re-stocking. Sabra? Are you reading [...]
Rob’s little “hola” had me absolutely cracking up! Gah, I love you two together. So adorable!
Wish I could contribute a fun, witty name for the new tab…but i can’t think of anything! But I dooo know that i’m so excited for some fun, more randy dandy posts with the usual meal plans as well! Love that!
ps-i kinda loooove your night-snacks! so post those too when you can…gotta love the faux-froyo and popcorn bowls
I think my favourite part was when you fixed your eyebrow. LOL. It was too cute – and of course, I couldn’t see anything wrong with it. Oooh, and the kitty meowing in the background when Rob came home. What can I say, I love me some kitties.
