LIFESTYLE GURU GIVES TOP TIPS ON LIFE OUTSIDE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
A MULTI-talented lifestyle specialist is taking the inspirational tips he’s shared on his
online channels and turned them into a “must have” book.
Former TV presenter Robert E Blackmon is a well-known face, having spent more
than 30 years in front of the camera, commenting on everything from celebrities to
fashion.
Born in the mid-West, Robert lived in LA working for major networks such as
Paramount and E! and could often be spotted at such glittering events as Elton
John’s Oscar Party.
He gave up his star-studded lifestyle to live in the Canadian countryside with his
partner but has now found a new audience online – clocking up around two million
followers.
And now his advice on everything from writing a thank you letter to hosting a dinner
party is being shared in print, thanks to a partnership with a unique print company
which turns creators’ online content into stylish books.
Robert has written a number of books over the years, beginning with a unique
wedding guide aimed at same sex couples.
“At the time there was absolutely no advice for gay couples on how to plan a
wedding, so I decided I’d write one,” he said.
It is finding a gap in the market that has inspired Robert, which is why he has created
Home 365 – How to Enjoy Your Living Space All Year Round in conjunction with
publishing company, Found.
“While social media can be amazing – and it’s where I have found an incredible
following – it’s also important that people live a life outside of it,” he said.
“I realized that we seemed to have completely lost the art of conversation and the
ability to do simple things that in the past people have taken for granted.
“Things like writing a letter, sending a thank you card, how to set the table - just
everyday things that show good manners and are also real skills for life.
“What I’ve tried to do is come with things that you can build into your life every day
and hopefully it will enhance it.”
Robert’s no nonsense, simply solutions to everyday problems have helped gain him
a captive audience on social media and it this advice which he is sharing in his new
book.
And fans will also be able to enjoy Robert’s advice throughout the year, as he is also
releasing his very own calendar for 2024.
It’s the latest twist on a life which has seen Robert create a whole host of
opportunities - from launching his own diet plan after he lost 20lbs to writing a book
about his mother.
He draws inspiration from the queen of hosting, cooking and entertaining – Martha
Stewart.
“I am the gay, black version of Martha Stewart,” said Robert with a smile.
“I want to use my 20 years plus of giving advice on all aspects of creating your own
lifestyle and making the most of your home to ensure that people really can live their
best lives.”
