Blogmas Day 27: Reflecting On This Past Year!


This year has definitely been an eye opener for me. So many things have happened in this world and I've learned so much about myself. I'm sure we can all agree that this year had a lot of ups and downs. I know for sure we had a big surprise, most wasn't expecting. But with that being said I can't believe it's almost a new year. I'm not a philosopher but I do like to share positivity to people. During negative times, it's important to have hope and positivity. I've learned a lot this year. When I graduated from high school, I thought I knew what I wanted in life. When I turned 21 I thought I knew myself, not realizing that I was just starting my journey of self discovery. Although I don't completely have it all together, I do however know what I want to do. When I would see someone who already knew what they wanted in life, I thought something was wrong with me. Why didn't I know, but I realized that I wasn't ready or prepared. But now I am and I'm ready to prove to myself that I can. Through darkness there is light and it you will find it. It may take longer than others but it's there.
 
Not only have I grown as a person, but I've grown as a blogger! In the past, I've always said how I want to blog consistently. But obviously it didn't happen that way. I know I've been consistent for a few months now, but I mean for the whole year. The time I spent uploading a post everyday made realize how much I love blogging. During my time blogging and with the breaks I've taken, I know for a fact that hard work pays off if you try. Whenever I felt discouraged from blogging I would stop for a period of time. Neglecting social media and only blogging from time to time. Now I will admit that for the first two years of blogging I had trouble with my computer and couldn't really do it consistently like I wanted to. But the other ones I don't have an excuse for it. I know everything is not perfect, there's no such thing. But if I didn't feel confident in what I was doing, how could I expect someone to read what I wrote. I have become a better writer though, so I'm happy about that. I don't compare my blog to others anymore, which would bother me in the past. Everyone and their blog is different. Just because someone is getting all of these comments and people are noticing them, doesn't mean it won't happen for you. Whenever I see a blogger reach a milestone and have other successes I get really excited for them. They work so hard and deserve it. That motivates me to work even harder. So I hope that we all have a good year and you know what, I believe we will too!

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...

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...

Color Theory:8 Piece Ultimate Eyeliner Set

I love Eyeliner; eyeliner is my go to look. Anytime I had eyeliner my eyes would look like their dressed up! The only eyeliner I have ever wore up until this point was black; because that was the only color I thought was out (crazy of me right?!) Anyway lately I've seen many girls wear different color eyeliner, mainly on YouTube; so I knew immediately I would have to try it. After a while I forgot all about them, until Christmas of 2012 when I received them. I was so excited because my Mom didn't even know I wanted them; now that I am thinking I didn't even ask!  Now I can match up the colors with eyeshadow. Enough of that here's the box they came in and I have the colors listed below. On the back it just talks about the different styles you can do with the eyeliners. For example: The famous winged look (instructions for it are on the back).                                ...
