Welcome to Blogger 101! The longer I blog the more I notice some of the strange and weird things I tend to do and also some of the misconceptions bloggers face - hello people who think we just drink cocktails all day! Just for the record, no we don't!
- It's a 24/7 thing. No weekends off!
- Weekends aren't for lie-ins now, its the time to take all the OOTD shots
- Lighting becomes your everything and you realise how precious natural lighting is
- It takes a lot of your free time up
- You never switch off and find inspiration everywhere
- Instagramable becomes a natural word to you and you will use it on a daily basis
- It can costs a lot - technology, clothes, makeup, storage etc
- The postman becomes your best friend - end up seeing him more than anyone!
- However, 'sorry we missed you' slips soon become boring
- And endless trips to the post office
- People will ask a lot of questions and you will get bored of repeating yourself
- Your phone will be glued to your hand and everyone will wonder what you are doing on it all the time
- You will check social media every 5 mins - don't want to miss an amazing opportunity!
- You do get used to eating cold food, honest!
- When it comes to fashion month, you will live on your phone/laptop catching up on shows
- Endless weird looks when taking OOTD shots become the norm
- As will running out of the way of cars when posing in the road
- You will constantly be asked for suggestions on products/outfits
- Be ready to get criticised - unfortunately it will happen, just don't take it to heart
- Notebooks! Can never have to many!
- Words such as 'haul', 'pigmented' and 'swatch' are used on a daily basis
- Taking 20,000 photos of the same thing and only using 2
- Ikea - I say no more!
- Ideas for a post will come to you at the strangest of times
- A mini celebration every time you reach a new milestone on Bloglovin/social media
- You will buy things to use in photos - flowers/candles/cushions/wallpaper samples becomes essentials
- You'll also use the old 'I can feature it on my blog' saying when making unnecessary purchases
- Storage boxes will be bought multiple times
- When meeting someone new, you will have to explain blogging, as they probably wont understand it
- Your room will resemble a beauty/fashion store
- Meeting like-minded people with similar interests who can help and inspire you
- Don't forget, you will have something you should be proud of!
Anything else you think should be added to the list? Let me know, there will be a part two!
Love Laura x
