blogger interview series

got tagged by rach (what a cutie) to do this fun lil interview thing so here goes

HOW DID YOU GET INTO BLOGGING?
i started a beauty blog when i was like 14 and had no idea what i was talking about (u can go and laugh @ it here if u want) and kept it up for two years before i discovered boys and was more interested in them. turns out they aren't that interesting so i'm back for round 2

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A BLOGGER JUST STARTING OUT?
the main thing i learned from coming back to blogging is to not worry about being professional or try and fit into the niche set up that other bloggers have. i got bored of my old blog because i was busy tryna get laid writing in a professional informative style that felt like i was churning out essays, whereas now i'm going for more of the vibe of screaming at a friend over facebook messenger cause you've FINALLY found that opaque liquid liner & that comes a lot more naturally to me (who cares about their post titles being search engine optimised anyways amirite)

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DREAM CAMPAIGN?
don't really get this question tbh - like would it be a political campaign or something to do with beauty??? i feel v strongly about equal rights for women, POC & LGBTQIA so i'd probably do something to help the feminist movement along

DO YOU HAVE A PLAN FOR YOUR BLOG?
just to keep going with it honestly. my personal life is an absolute state and it's very easy for me to lose motivation but i'd love to see this grow into something bigger and better than my old blog was.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT RANKINGS?
going back to not having a professional style, i don't take this seriously enough to care. so long as the trend of followers/readers/pageviews is growing and not shrinking, i'm happy (i do love getting comments though).

i'm gonna tag micky @ princess from jupiter & yige @ yet another makeup blog because they're both honestly on another level ♡

  2. Just popping in to say thanks for a sweet comment on my blog, girl. I love it when people actually read/notice different bits & pieces and just copy/paste the same comment *cringe* lol
    I checked out your old blog & wow, well done even though you were a really young teen! It looks FAAAAAAAAR better than the blog I used to have haha - I deleted that "gem" a long time ago. We just didn't work out.
    I started over like 10 years later - I now enjoy it so much! :)
    Defo will be following your updates on Bloglovin, girl.

  6. This is great. I absolutely agree about not taking blogging super seriously, especially in the beginning. You have to figure out yourself & your blog. :]

  7. I'm totally still in that formal essay writing stage of blogging. Idk why cause that's not my personality at all. I love how much your blog is the opposite of that formal essay writing though. It's so much more fun to read! :)

  8. This was really interesting to read! I love how the questions were so vague yet you gave such informative answers. The idea of writing as if you're talking to a friend over Facebook is totally relatable... I might end up taking a leaf out of your book in that aspect :)
