What is Soft Flow Living?
Soft Flow Living is more than bubble baths and pretty fonts — although we stan both. It’s a lifestyle built around emotional healing, intentional living, ease, and the art of slowing down in a world that glorifies hustle, a sentiment that resonates deeply with soft life blog enthusiasts.
Your website, especially if it’s a soft life blog, should reflect all of this. It’s a space to:
Share wellness routines
Talk about emotional growth
Explore faith and inner peace
Promote sustainable luxury
Inspire others to embrace ease unapologetically
Let’s build that space, shall we? The soft life blog community is waiting.
Step 1: Define Your Brand Vibe
Your brand vibe is the emotional atmosphere people feel when they land on your soft life blog. Ask yourself:
For Soft Flow Living, those might be:
✨ Calm
✨ Grounded
✨ Elegant
Pick Your Colours
You want a palette that feels serene and luxe — think:
Angel White
- Gold Dust
- Muted Blush
Stone Beige
Use a free tool like Coolors to finalise your palette.
Choose Your Fonts
Go for clean, feminine serif fonts (like Playfair Display or Cormorant) for titles and a simple sans serif (like Lato or Open Sans) for body text. You can test combos on Fontjoy.
Step 2: Choose the Right Platform
If you’re new to blogging or want full control over design and monetisation, self-hosted WordPress.org is your girl.
Recommended Setup:
Hosting: Hostinger or SiteGround
CMS: WordPress.org
Theme: Go for feminine lifestyle themes like Hello You Designs or 17th Avenue
Alternatively, you could try:
Squarespace – Stunning out of the box, limited flexibility.
Wix – Beginner-friendly but bloated with code.
Showit – Aesthetic heaven, especially for photographers and coaches.
💡 Pro Tip: Avoid WordPress.com if you want freedom. You’ll thank yourself later.
Step 3: Pick Your Domain Name
You’ve already locked in the perfect one — SoftFlowLiving.com.
If you’re reading this and haven’t grabbed yours yet, do it now via Namecheap or your web host.
Stick to:
com extensions
Easy spelling and pronunciation
Avoid hyphens or weird numbers
Use Instant Domain Search to check what’s available.
Step 4: Design Your Website
This is where your brand comes alive. Design with intention, but keep it simple, especially when it comes to your soft life blog.
Key Pages to Create:
Home – A soft, inviting welcome
About – Tell your story and what soft life means to you
Blog – Where the content lives, especially your soft life blog
Contact – Email form or business enquiries
Subscribe/Join – Newsletter signup (freebie optional)
Free Resources:
Canva – For graphics and banners
Unsplash – High-quality, soft-toned stock photos
Google Fonts – For elegant font pairings
Bonus points if you add a moodboard or digital vision board to your About page 👏
Step 5: Plan Your Content Categories
Your categories should reflect what soft life means to you and your readers, especially in your soft life blog. Here’s a sample setup:
Wellness – Journaling, self-care, health routines
Faith – Devotionals, healing prayers, lifestyle sermons
Lifestyle – Soft fashion, décor, travel, routines
Content Creation – Instagram, Pinterest, blogging tips
Home & Food – Recipes, cleaning routines, homemaking joy
Don’t go too wide. Start with 3–5 categories you can consistently post in on your soft life blog.
Step 6: Write Your First Blog Posts
Start with cornerstone content — the kind that introduces your message and sets the tone for your soft life blog.
Ideas:
“Welcome to Soft Flow Living: My Journey to Peace”
“What is Soft Life? A Guide for Burnt Out Women”
“Sunday Reset Routine for Intentional Living”
“Creating a Cozy Home Without Breaking the Bank”
“Devotional: Embracing Rest Without Guilt”
Write like you’re talking to your softest, wisest future self — or your audience’s.
Use Grammarly to catch typos, and run your titles through CoSchedule Headline Analyzer for extra impact.
Step 7: Set Up Email and SEO Tools
Email Marketing
Use email to build relationships — softly.
Starter-friendly tools:
MailerLite (free & pretty)
Flodesk (aesthetic queens love this one)
Offer a soft lead magnet like:
A journaling template
“Soft Life Starter Pack” PDF
Free printable affirmations
SEO Tools
You want Google to find your soft life blog, even if your vibe is “anti-grind.”
Start with:
Rank Math – WordPress SEO plugin
Ubersuggest – For keyword ideas
AnswerThePublic – To see what people search for
Step 8: Promote and Monetise Softly
Pinterest: Your Best Friend
Soft life content thrives on Pinterest.
Use Tailwind to schedule pins and SmartLoop your evergreen posts.
Pin your:
Blog posts
Aesthetic moodboards
Journaling templates
Lifestyle tips
Use templates from Creative Market or Kittl for high-quality pin designs.
Use carousel posts and Reels to repurpose blog content. Show your face, your space, or your journaling pages.
Keep your feed:
Warm and inviting
Authentic (not over-curated)
Gentle in tone
Monetisation Ideas:
Affiliate links (try ShareASale or RewardStyle)
Digital products (journals, guides, planners)
Sponsored posts
But again — do it softly. Prioritise trust and real value in your soft life blog.
