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:

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:

  1. Home – A soft, inviting welcome

  2. About – Tell your story and what soft life means to you

  3. Blog – Where the content lives, especially your soft life blog

  4. Contact – Email form or business enquiries

  5. 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:

  1. Wellness – Journaling, self-care, health routines

  2. Faith – Devotionals, healing prayers, lifestyle sermons

  3. Lifestyle – Soft fashion, décor, travel, routines

  4. Content Creation – Instagram, Pinterest, blogging tips

  5. 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:

Offer a soft lead magnet like:

  • A journaling template

  • “Soft Life Starter Pack” PDF

  • Free printable affirmations

Monetisation Ideas:
