In Spaces Between

If you’ve been checking in on the blog over the past few days you may have noticed a couple of little changes, so I thought I’d talk you through them quickly.

1. IN SPACES BETWEEN IS NOW ACCEPTING SPONSORS!

I’m excited to tell you that in a relatively short time, In Spaces Between has become a gathering place for thousands of like-minded, life lovin’, inspiration seekin’ people just like you, and as a result, I have made the decision to open up a select number of ad spaces on my right sidebar.

These spaces are perfect for bloggers who would like to generate a sweet flow of traffic to their gorgeous sites, or business owners who are keen to have a bright light shone on their company’s grand offering.

If you have a small business of your own – or perhaps you’re an amazing photographer/ a brilliant graphic designer/ yoga teacher extraordinaire/ life coach/ virtual assistant/ vintage clothing store owner/ artist - then this could be the leg up you need to really put yourself and your services ”out there.”

My media kit is currently being professionally beautified but if the idea of In Spaces Between + {insert your rad blog/ business} making magic piques your interest, shoot me an email on rachel@inspacesbetween.com so we can chat and I can send you through all the relevant information.

And, finally, as a special introductory offer, I’m taking $20 off the standard monthly ad cost for February and March, so lock down your space today!

2. A FEW DESIGN TWEAKS

Lovely Jo from The Darling Tree did a bit of rejigging on my right sidebar late last week and although the changes were relatively minor, I think it has such a great impact on the overall look of the site. Clean and ordered – just the way I like my design!

I can’t speak highly enough about working with Jo. Super professional, ultra accommodating, and mega efficient… I could seriously go superlative crazy describing this girl! Her work is impeccable. She also alerted me to (and subsequently changed) a couple of things she’d noticed were playing up on my site, just because. That kind of service is RARE.

Head over to Jo’s beautiful blog, August Empress, for a poke around and while you’re immersing yourself in all things Jo, be sure to check out her online course Your Darling Blog. I think you’ll love her stuff as much as I do.

Christmas is just around the corner, so over the next week I’m going to be posting a range of gift guides to take the stress out of Xmas shopping for you.

I’ve been searching long and hard to bring you the coolest edit of gifts (all available online) to inspire you on your treasure hunt and have also asked a few of my favourite bloggers to share their suggestions.

We’ll kick things off today with a list curated by the lovely Sian from Twelve By One – graphic designer extraordinaire and all-round awesome chick – who’s pulled together a killer list of pressie options for the design nerd in your life.

There’s no denying bright colours are huge right now, and I’m as big a fan as any, but there’s still something about the simplicity of a sleek black and white palette that gets me every time.

What about you?
