Blogs We Love – Oh Joy!

Happy Monday Everybody!

Welcome back to the Blogs We Love series where we bring you our all time favourite blogs around being creative, loving life, staying positive & being the best you ever!

Today’s blog is one that many of you have already heard of – since launching in 2005, this LA-based, graphic design-come-lifestyle blogger has made big waves in many creative online communities. You may have seen her articles pinned on Pinterest, seen a stylish shot of her home on Instagram, or had her pop up in your Facebook newsfeed. If you haven’t already guessed it, we’re talking about the wonderfully creative Joy Cho, founder of the Oh Joy blog.

Below is a fun shot of the creative team, including Joy as creative director & other graphic designers, photographers, producers, assistants & stylists! We love the fun-loving nature of Joy’s team & think they are a big inspiration for anyone working in this creative industry!

Since starting her own studio & becoming a blogger herself, Rachael has always been a fan of Joy Cho’s creativity & passion for design. Her blog, which is packed with tons of design & interior ideas, advice on family / being a mum & fun projects, it’s no surprise that the RT Team look to the Oh Joy Blog for tons of inspiration!

Joy is also a published author & has tons of advice to offer in her books. Here’s a peek at her three titles. These are a fab idea for anyone looking to follow a similar career path & start up a creative business:

One of our favourite parts of the Oh Joy blog is the fact that she shares her real-life experiences in running a creative business / team, being a mum & keeping up with life. Lots of her blog posts make us giggle & we love that she stays so positive through it all. One great example is her post on the things she is ‘super lazy about,’ which we all can relate to (who really likes to unload the dishwasher anyway?)

Joy is also full of useful advice for mums in business & tackles various topics that sometimes fall by the wayside in creative blogging. We love her honest, open approach in her writing & we love that we can always go to her for useful advice!

All in all, we think Joy’s blog is fabulous. It’s a great place to go when you’re needing a creative boost, a laugh, or just to get re-inspired when you feel run down. We always know that a visit to any of her social media pages will give us some bright, happy & colourful vibes to make our day that little bit better.

We hope today’s post has given you a little bit of inspiration – we really recommend grabbing a big cup of tea this afternoon & having a browse of the Oh Joy pages. There really is so much to find (like the gorgeous, colourful DIY pumpkins above)!

Wishing everybody a wonderful week – we hope you liked today’s post! Be sure to visit back each day for more creative inspiration.
