My 10 Favourite Things About Blogging

9th July 2015


1. Friends
. Whether it be people I talk to everyday on Twitter, or the amazing girls I’ve managed to meet so far; I love having blogging buddies. It’s so much fun!

 

2. Confidence. My confidence has totally shot up since I began blogging, it’s shocking how much really! I now love meeting new people, I’m not as worried over social situations and I believe in myself so much more.

 

3. The inspiration. In the past 16 months I’ve felt more inspired than ever before. I regularly paint, draw, photograph, write, collage and craft. I’m constantly thinking of new ideas and I have my blog to thank for it all.

 

4. New experiences. Whether it be meet ups, working with brands, or being exposed to so many different cultures and people; blogging is always bringing me new experiences.

 

5. Keeping a record. I mean, how awesome is it gonna be in ten years time to look back and see how my life was in October of 2014? To see everything I was up to or interested in; amazing! Like keeping a freaking awesome journal, except better.

 

6. Purpose. Blogging now gives me a sense of purpose I didn’t have before, and I didn’t even know it. I always have something to do and there are always ideas and ambitions swirling around my mind.

 

7. Opportunities. There’s no denying the flattering opportunities are a great bonus when blogging. People want me to review their products, write for them, paint for them. I get to go to events that I’m very flattered to attend and I get to meet awesome bloggers!

 

8. Community. If I ever have a problem, I already know there’s a whole community at my fingertips if I need it, and that’s pretty damn special. I also love getting the chance to support other writers and creatives. A feeling of ‘we’re all in this together’ runs through the community, and it’s bloody nice!

 

9. Trends. Without blogging and social media, I’d be hopeless. I would not know about new makeup products and what trends I should be looking out for, for the next season. I’ve also developed a better sense of style (only slightly albeit, ha!) for myself because of other bloggers tips! Seeing what works for my body shape, and how I can make the most of it.

 

10. Fun! There’s no other way to explain it really; the feeling I get every single day. The reason I post so often, the reason I live on Twitter and the reason I’m always busy. It’s fun! My own little blogging adventure is something that really makes me happy, and I can’t see that changing anytime soon.

    I cannot relate to this post enough! (I'm not sure if that makes sense but you get what I mean 😉 hehe). I just love blogging. Meeting new people, being able to chat with those who really understand you, becoming more confident, motivated and inspired and having a hobby to give your all to – it's amazing! xx

    These are few of the things that I love about blogging too. I have made so many friends through blogging and meeting them in real life was the biggest perk of blogging.
