Liz is the blogger behind The Daily Indulgence.
Describe your blog:
The Daily Indulgence is, most simply said, daily musings by a girl who can’t help but indulge. That food-obsessed girl is me, and I’m sharing recipes from my own kitchen (as I build on and refine my skills!), fabulous treats around town, and anything in relation to that wonderful thing we call ‘food.’ It’s totally fun, honest, and carefree and I am so excited for you to join me!
What is your favorite post you’ve written or your favorite series/type of post?
Well, I just started the blog and am still building on my content but obviously everything is about food… which I love. I have to say I like my posts the most when I am not afraid to admit that *maybe* I messed up in the kitchen and *maybe* I happened to have eaten 5 cookies along the way. For example, in my post “Baking 101″ it felt good to say, “Hey! I didn’t do so hot at baking a few times so I had to go back to the basics.” It helps me remember as I’m starting to write more and more that I need to just be myself, and someone out there will relate to me, too.
What is something you wish you knew how to do related to blogging?
Oh man, where do I begin? When I first started my blog I probably would have said, “Uh, how do I even make a page?” (oh wait, I did say that!) but now I will say I wish I knew how to nail the perfectly staged (and focused) food photo. I bought the new lens for the camera and am working on it, and I have come leaps and bounds since my first photo! But of course I will continue to improve my skills and creative ideas. Now when I look at my favorite food blogs I am that much more obsessed with their photos. I can’t wait to look back a year from now and see my progress.
What is your favorite social platform?
“Instagram. Hands down.
I can’t imagine I’m the only one who has answered as such, but Instagram really is the first social platform that I have become hooked on! Not only can you follow your friends to see what’s going on in your social-sphere, but seeing what other bloggers, businesses, restaurants, photographers, etc. are doing takes your mind to a new creative level every day. Sharing is the best way to promote new ideas and I love the “real time” aspect of Instagram! Plus, 90% of my news feed is related to food so, true to nature, I get excited every time I look at it. People come up with amazing things.”
What are a few of your favorite Chicago blogs?
Chicago has so many talented bloggers!
Top of my list, though, is my good friend Jessica Keys of The Golden Girl blog. I honestly attribute her encouragement to my motivation for starting my own blog – she is amazing! Plus her blog is so fun and cute. I check it every day.
I also love The Fox & She for fashion (which I don’t specialize in) + lifestyle and The Kittchen for food (which I love, obviously).
