Brand New Blogger Tag

Hello Internet Beauties!

Welcome to my blog! I thought I'd start with an opening post of some questions I've made up to introduce myself and my blog in a bit more detail. So, here we go...!

1) Why have you decided to start a blog?

I have been in the process of wanting to start a blog for the past 3-4 years now - talk about queen of procrastination! I always started setting a blog up, but never got further. Now though, I've finished uni and so writing has returned to being a creative passion for me, rather than a dreaded chore for essays and assignments. I also have a pretty lengthy commute to my job, so figured now is the perfect time to start and use this time productively! I've always loved writing, I always kept a journal when I was younger which I would fill with my thoughts and stories, so I can't wait to do something similar with this blog.

2) Which bloggers inspire you?

I would describe myself as a 'lurker' on blogs, I tend to go online and read them, without actually following/subscribing to them on my blog - because if I'm honest I still can't really work out how that all works haha! My favorite at the moment would be Meg Says, I love how down to earth and friendly she seems! I have always also loved Shelby Ann, I've followed her from the days of her YouTube channel many moons ago, she doesn't blog that much so when she does post, I really enjoy it, as I've always loved her style and personality. Anna Saccone has to be another top favourite, I love the Sacconejoly's daily vlogs (for so many reasons it could be a separate post!) and Anna creates beautiful posts, as well as standing for so many positive things. 

3) Best time for writing blog posts?

For me, creativity just sometimes strikes and I have to start typing or scribbling notes straight away. I'm trying to use my morning and evening commute to write posts as that gives me set times, but honestly I quite often snooze on the morning train at 7am instead haha. Late nights have always been my most creative times.

4) Perfect blog writing environment?

I always have to write blogs with music on (currently listening to Demi Lovato in a Spotify mix). Chocolate snacks also help of course!

5) What are your hopes for your blog?

Firstly, I hope my blog provides me with a creative space that allows me to create and relax. A little escape from the everyday busyness. Secondly, I really really hope that someone likes my blog and it helps them in some way. On the surface it is a beauty and lifestyle blog, but I hope eventually I can do some more advice style posts that reach out to people in some way :)

I can't wait to get blogging and meet some lovely bloggers out there :) Let me know in the comments if you complete this little tag or a bit about your blog so I can check it out!
