My inspiration of my blog comes from a few different websites that I relied on when I first planned to pursue my fitness journey. Based off of my previous post, the other social media accounts that I initially was exposed to inspired my blog post content and how I can incorporate my own experiences.
I think it was really important that I incorporated myself and my own results throughout my blog to make it more personable and realistic for my viewers.The founder of Way of Gray, Sophie, put several elements into each post containing: personal experience, tips and tricks, and the overall informative information of the topic. Without these elements, I feel that the post wouldn't be as authentic nor inspiring to potential health-seekers.
Aside from Way of Gray, I also was inspired by health food accounts on Instagram, where I have collected my recipes. I believe it was really important to include visuals due to the fact that presentation is key for appetizing food.
Another inspiration of mine was from my younger sister whom I have participated in each sport with throughout the years. She is an avid poster on her social media accounts of her accomplishments, but to a point where it is not excessive. Part of me wanted to create this type of blog for her so she too can look to it as a resource of inspiration or even collaborate with me in the future.
As far as color and text inspiration, I used a few of my favorite color combinations such as turquoise, purple, teal, gray, black, and white. As silly as this sounds, those colors speak to me and are cool and relaxing in my opinion. They are pretty much gender neutral as well, which will also open up the number of potential viewers.
