Blogmas Day 20: My Hopes For The New Year As A Blogger!

 
I've been blogging for 4 years now and to be honest I wasn't really enjoying it. I guess it's my fault because I wasn't writing a lot of the things I wanted to talk about. I was putting myself in a category thinking that's where I should be and then I become stuck. It wasn't until a few months ago when I told myself that enough was enough. I know this has nothing to do with a Christmas theme or a winter theme, but it's something that I want to share. Maybe it will help a new blogger or a someone who has been blogging a while like me. Blogging consistently last month and this month helped me realize that I can do this. You know self doubt is one of the most hardest obstacles. It's like the confidence is not there and you can't find it anywhere. Doing these past couple of months I've been writing everyday and it's made me realize that I have a lot to say. My hopes for the new year as a blogger, is to enjoy it. Blogging is something that I've stuck with and I'm very shocked. I didn't think I could do it and some bloggers I've meant along the way, I've lost touched with because they don't blog anymore.
 
What keeps me going is the people I've met through this experience. When I stopped blogging for awhile, I wondered what was going on. I was curious to know if anyone realized I wasn't there. It made me sad but I just didn't have the motivation like I do now. I hope to expand the topics I talk about on my blog. For example, I want to start talking about my hair and how I care for and the different products I like to use. I want to give tips on how to care for your hair and I want to share my natural hair journey. Which that will probably be a long post, but also helpful. I'm still going to be blogging about beauty, but I'm also going to be writing a lot of lifestyle posts! I like during a certain part of the year I get less motivated. I think during the Summer time, so I'm going to change that. I also want to get more organized, but I will talk about that in another post. I also want to invest more into my blog design. Which coincides with me wanting to blog more. I really enjoy blogging and I think this is my time to show myself that I'm serious. I hope to get more involved in blogger chats on Twitter, I mean it's nice connecting with people who share a common interest. Since I've turned 25, I think the light bulb went off and I had an epiphany. So here's to all my hopes as blogger and I can't wait to start off the new year on a good foot! 
 
I hope you enjoyed reading and feel free to share your hopes/ goals for you as a blogger and for your blog.

Helpful Posts/Sites For Bloggers

Being a blogger is not easy at all, whether it's a hobby or a job. Every blogger works so hard to put out quality work. But sometimes it can be a struggle. While in a blogging rut I came across a lot of posts that have helped me gain confidence. These posts also helped me realize my creativity; all I needed to do was use my noggin! But before you click on the links below, I'm going to explain what these links mean to me. I don't want to bore you but I'm hoping these will help you too.   Everytime I get into a blogging rut I always look at my blog design. Thinking that the design I have is always the problem, I go and I spend money to change it. In reality the major problem was myself. Now don't get me wrong, designs I've had were beautiful it just wasn't for me. During my long "break" or breakdown I did a lot of searching. I'm pretty sure you all heard of Etsy, am I right? This is where I found two shops that have helped me tremendous...

My Top 5 Current Beauty Favorites!

  I'm not one who has a lot of favorite products, but when I do it's worth sharing. Call me boring, but I'm someone who follows all the trends. Half of the time I don't even buy products that are "most known" or "popular". At the moment I have a handful of products I'm really loving. I'm a picky person when it comes to a lot of things, but these products are great to use. If you are on a budget these products are very affordable and they definitely don't disappoint!   Swissco Detangle Brush I love this detangler brush, it works great on my hair. Although I found this at Marshalls you can find online as well. Both prices are $6! That's very affordable in my opinion, compared to brushes that cost double. You can use this on wet and dry hair. I've tried both and it works very good. When it's time to twist or braid my hair I will use this brush. Most importantly I will use this brush before washing my hair and during th...

Is there a guide to blogging?

It's been 3 months since I started blogging and I already have 57 followers and I am so grateful and thankful. In a million years I would have never imagined being a blogger. But sometimes I do not feel like one. I mean I know being a successful and known blogger doesn't happen overnight, but sometimes I get discouraged. I have always been someone who is cautious and worries about what people think, so sometimes I feel no one will like what I post. I also feel like, because I am not a well known blogger no one will take the time and give me a chance. I am just being myself, is there something wrong with that? So I started feeling lost and I didn't know what to do; then I thought "Is there a guide to blogging?". Not only did I have these thoughts, but I was also thinking that there are so many wonderful bloggers (beauty, fashion, and lifestyle), so who would even notice my blog. So is there a book to teach people how to blog or am I just overreacting? Sometim...
