| So here you have the girl behind the blog and the guy who puts up with me. |
When did you start your blog?
November 17, 2012 so not too long ago! I have been posting everyday since.
Have you had any past online presence before?
I had a blog for like a week back in 2008 but got scared that I wouldn't be good enough and deleted it. I've had the internet since I was 10 so I've had websites, been in messageboards, Livejournal, Myspace, Tumblr etc.
Why did you start a blog?
Because I was unhappy with my job situation and needed a creative outlet. I also have never really had hobbies or stuck with anything (always a quitter) so I needed something to focus on.
When did you become serious about starting a blog?
From day one. I knew the only way I could have a blog I'm happy with was to just do it and learn over time.
What was your first post?
A review of Sleek Blush in Rose Gold. It was pretty basic and I didn't show what it looked like on. I'd like to think I've improved since then.

What has been your biggest challenge about blogging?
Making my layout. It looks simple but I had a mini meltdown making it basically (and that poor guy above had to witness it lol). Blogger is pretty annoying to use compared to other sites I've used in the past.
Where do you see your blog in one year?
Hopefully my pictures will be better and I'll have more followers. I'm not great at posing or taking pictures for outfit posts so I'd like to improve on that and post more on clothing.

What is the most rewarding thing about blogging?
The friends I've made! Other bloggers are so sweet and encouraging.
What is the most discouraging thing that happens to you?
When people comment only to advertise their blog or comment with "follow me and I'll follow you". I put a lot of effort into my blog so I can't stand these comments. I always check out the blogs of people who comment (so please leave your links!) and if I like a blog I follow them.
What's your lasting inspiration or motivation?
Blogging makes me happy and gives purpose to my days. I work part time so it's nice to have a lot of things to do rather than just sitting around doing nothing like before. I have been reading beauty blogs since they came about so seeing how other blogs have grown over time is a big inspiration for me.
I tag:

DeleteI love to learn why people started blogging, and its good to know you find doing layouts hard too! I can't believe you only started in November! You're a natural! And you and your sister are so pretty!

Thank you Ariel :) I love reading these too. I wish they asked more nosey questions though so I could find out more haha.
DeleteThanks for the tag Christine! I don't like thoughtless comments either, sometimes you get that 'nice' comment or annoying follow me posts - kinda feels like a lost cause at times!
ReplyDeleteI had someone commenting with "lovely" for awhile and saw her doing the same on other blogs. Is it really that hard to type out a sentance? lol
DeleteApparently it is! I also dislike when people copy and paste the same thing on every blog ;/
DeleteYou and your boy look so cute together! Great post :)

I'd love it if you took a look at my blog and entered my giveaway!: RebeccaRuby - A lifestyle blog
Thank you :) I'll definately go take a look Rebecca :)
DeleteLove the photo of you and your boyfriend so cute,
ReplyDeleteI agree the best thing about blogging is everyone supporting you and meeting new bloggers :)
Thank you Hollie :) I can't believe how nice everyone has been!
Deleteaw this is such a cute tag! will be doing it soon aswell! red lip stick looks fab on you! x
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your answers :) Thanks Paulina!
DeleteGreat post! Almost all of your answers are exactly what I would have answered if I did this! I agree about the layout being very frustrating. Yours looks great, though! And when people do the "follow me and I'll follow you" thing. It's almost insulting. If you really like my blog, follow, and if I like yours, I'll follow you. Nobody wants to feel obligated.

Yeah it is kind of insulting. I want someone to follow my blog because they like it not as a way to gain followers.
Deleteahhh! just noticed I was tagged. I'll attempt to post by tomorrow :P Thanks for the tag christine.
ReplyDeleteps. your pictures are great as is :) and I feel the same way about work... it's not necessarily engaging in the way that beauty and blogging is to me! :)
