My Clubhouse Blog Ideas


Blog Topic Ideas
Healthy Cooking Blog: I would be very passionate about a healthy cooking blog because of how seriously I take the idea of taking care of my body. I don’t like eating high fat, high sodium, high calorie food, because not only do I feel guilty about it, it makes me feel terrible. I have become so used to eating well, that I actually prefer it. I spend a lot of time of looking for alternatives for oils, butter, white flour, etc. that I can use in my baking or cooking to cut out fat and calories and add more fiber and protein. It has always been something I enjoy doing for myself, so doing it publicly would be a delight. I know that I am not the only one who cares about what they put into their body, judging by how many blogs there already are dedicated to healthy eating and cooking, so I think it would be a fun and a smart idea and something I would absolutely enjoy.

Fitness Blog: Along with eating healthy, and cooking the best I can for myself, I work out almost every day and am, again, passionate about it. As much as it can suck sometimes, once I’m in the grind of a workout routine, I love it, and nothing beats the feeling of cold air hitting you when walking out the gym when you’re done working out. I think that I could make a good blog giving tips and advise for different workouts. People who are fitness enthusiasts like me, but are not gym “rats” or body builders, could benefit from it because I would give tips for the every day person just looking to tone up, keep a healthy weight, and look good. I could categorize it into sections of muscle training, cardio, different weight workouts, videos I find, pictures showing how to do the moves properly, etc.

Beauty & fashion blog: I am interested in different ways to do hair, different ways to do makeup, cool outfits put together in ways I could never think of. I could do a collaboration of different pictures, methods, ideas, new beauty products, make-up for skin types…etc. I like to look up these things in my daily check-the-internet routine. I think it is a good blog idea because I know many girls and woman are online trying to find opinions of others on products, and ‘how-to’s’ of how to make the perfect smoky eye.

Photography blog: I have always had a fascination with photography. I wish I was better at it, but I idolize the photographers of National Geographic Magazine for the incredible pictures they take. I could make a blog dedicated to beautiful pictures of places all over the world. Separated by region, country, time of year, date of picture..etc. I think a lot of people enjoy looking at photographs of places all over the world that they may not have a chance to ever see in person. And who doesn’t love a beautiful picture to make as a desktop background?

Daily News Story blog: I watch the news every morning getting ready for school and most night before I go to bed. I like to keep updated on what is going on in the world and I am very opinionated. I could possibly do a blog talking about some of the stories I hear on the news in the morning or hear about through CNN.com or my breaking news follow through twitter, and comment on my thoughts on them, encouraging others to comment on their thoughts or opinions. It would be a really cool way for other people to connect on things that are going on in our world and to hear other peoples opinions, which most people I feel like are always eager to express.

The reason I picked these five topics to do my clubhouse blog on is because these are the types of blogs I read and look for. They are all topics that mean very much to me and are all things that I do in my daily life. Any one of these I would be excited to write about, esp something relating to health and fitness.

The change of time with the growth of technology

I remember being a little kid in the back of my moms old Volvo, listening to my bulky CD player singing too loud and obnoxious for me to know and my mom on her brick cell phone tapping my knee telling me to pipe down. Now I look at my cell phone and the amazing capabilities it has. Voice recognition, Internet access almost everywhere, apps to tell me how many calories are in my large chai. Ipods becoming smaller and smaller to where they fit in the palm of your hand, yet have the ability to hold thousands of songs. It is truly amazing how far technology has come, and I can not even fathom what it is going to be like within the next twenty or so coming years.

In the video they talked about these myths that are believed of in the population of my generation. We don't read as much, we don't write as much..etc etc. Like the video said, ignore the myths. I read articles every day about things that are going on in the world around me. I read stories of people in other countries, I see pictures of places I can only dream of seeing with my own eyes, I write emails and texts (none of which are ever abbreviated). My generation are huge blogger's, constantly researching and writing and responding. I think technology and how fast it has evolved is incredible, and as the video state is changing the world and ideas into new and beautiful things.
