Starting Over and Rebuilding Your Tumblr Empire

You know that feeling when you've put in countless hours and invested so much of yourself into something, then — poof — it's gone? That's what happened to me yesterday: my beloved Tumblr account was terminated, without reason, I might add! 

This is where I was previously hosting this blog. Gone were the almost 1500 posts and memories I'd accumulated over the years (since 2008). To add insult to injury, all my social media posts now feature broken links. Yes, it was indeed a sad evening. 

However, as a true warrior in the lifestyle blogging world, I am determined to rise from the ashes and rebuild A Little Bit Of Me by any means necessary. But how you ask? 

Well, strap in, because I'm about to take you on the journey of making your own terminated blog comeback.

Damage Control

Fix Those Broken Links

It's time to clean up the mess that Tumblr left behind. It's going to take a lot of time and effort but you have to replace the broken links across your social media platforms and inform your followers about your unfortunate fate.

  • Notify your Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook followers about your terminated account
  • Edit any Tumblr links on your blog or website
  • Respond to comments or messages left by concerned followers 

Rise from the Ashes

Creating a Brand-New Tumblr (or Other Platform) Account

Your social media presence shouldn't suffer just because of someone else's decision! Create a fresh and fabulous new account where you can begin rebuilding your lost work. 

Personally, I want nothing else to do with Tumblr, which is why I've come over to Blogger; it's much easier to integrate with Google's products anyway, like Adsense, Analytics, and Search Console, which is exactly what I need!

Whichever route you decide to go:

  • Choose a unique and catchy username
  • Find or design an attractive and memorable theme
  • Fill out your profile with updated information about yourself and your interests

Rebuild and Conquer

Restoring Your Best Content

While you can't recreate every single one of those 1500 (or however many) lost posts, you certainly can bring back some of your greatest hits to kickstart your new blog's experience (hello, Google cache!).

  • Post a mix of old favorites and fresh, new content
  • Reach out to friends and ask for their help in reposting previous collaborations, reblogging posts, or participating in challenges together
  • Explore new niches and ideas, and take this as an opportunity to grow your brand

More Visibility, More Power

Spread the Word About Your Comeback

No one should get away with terminating your account unceremoniously! Use your newfound momentum to gain more followers and visibility than ever before. Use the termination as a learning experience and motivation to grow twice as much in the next 6-12 months.

  • Inform your followers across all social media platforms about your new account 
  • Engage in the Tumblr community by following, engaging, and interacting with other content creators
  • Utilize SEO tactics and long-tail keywords in your posts

It's Never Too Late To Start Over

Alright Tumblr warriors, it's time to wipe those tears and take back what's rightfully yours! Now that I’ve imparted some blog-rebuilding wisdom (which I'll also be using myself), I’m curious: how would you handle a terminated account? Share your thoughts, revenge plots, or phoenix-from-the-ashes strategies in the comments below!

Clear Skin Starts from Within: Foods and Lifestyle Tips for Hormonal Acne

Hormonal acne is a form of acne caused by fluctuations in hormones, especially androgens like testosterone. It often appears around puberty when hormone levels are in flux, as well as in adulthood. Women are more prone to hormonal acne outbreaks due to monthly hormonal changes related to the menstrual cycle. Source: Pixabay The main hormonal causes of acne include increased production of sebum (oil), a binding of testosterone to skin receptors, increased inflammation, and imbalances between estrogen and progesterone. Testosterone stimulates the production of sebum, which can clog pores and allow acne-causing bacteria to accumulate. Hormonal acne tends to occur in characteristic locations like the lower face along the jawline, chin, and neck area. It also frequently appears along the cheeks and side of the face in women. Lesions are usually tender, inflamed, and deeper cysts rather than surface whiteheads or blackheads. Outbreaks typically occur monthly but can also be chronic for some.

How to Properly Apply Face Serum for Maximum Benefits

Face serums have become a popular skincare product in recent years, promising numerous benefits like reducing fine lines, evening out skin tone, and boosting hydration. With all the hype around serums, it's easy to get carried away and use too much. But applying face serum correctly is vital to getting the most out of it (plus, you'll save money since you won't use up the bottle as quickly). Source: Pexels Here's a simple guide on how much serum to use and how to apply it properly: Why Dropping Serum Directly on Your Face Isn't Ideal It's tempting to use the dropper that comes with most serums and dot the product directly onto your face. As a matter of fact, almost every YouTuber I watch loves to do it this way (and I cringe each time I see it). However, this isn't the best application method for a few reasons: Wastes product: Dropping serum directly from the bottle means you often use more than necessary. Most serums are concentrated, so a little goes a l
