Confessions of a Blogger Tag

So here you have the girl behind the blog and the guy who puts up with me.
 

 I was tagged by Kate Alyse to do this tag, so thank you Katie :)

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.

My profile picture was taken from a photo of my beautiful sis and I.

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.
