Oh hey there you! Yes you! Oh course I mean you, your the one looking at this post. Reading it word for word, taking it all in. A least that's what I hope for anyway.
I'm feeling a touch uninspired as I to talk to you today. I have had literally the busiest 3 weeks ever since I came back from holiday. If someone had told me I dreamt the holiday I would 100% have believed them. I've had those types of days where only a glass of rose and a bit of a cry will help and I know I haven't been able to have the energy or time to dedicate to my blog. Which is frustrating and annoying to say the least. But then again, it makes me wonder if anyone would notice? Not in a 'feel sorry for me' mode but in a 'I'm still new at this and just having a crack at it' way.
The reason I started a blog was because I thought it would be fun to do and may open up opportunities to meet new people and experience new things. I have already 'met' in a virtual way, some lovely bloggers on Twitter and it's amazing to see how much of a community vibe there is out there. Zoella is the literal reason I started typing my thoughts and opinions for all to see. I remember watching a drugstore haul video of hers years and years ago before she was as well known as she is now and thinking "why do I care what a stranger has bought from the shops?" and then I replied to myself with answer "ssshhh I've missed what colour nail varnish she said it was now!!" Thus started my YouTube addiction! For some reason I, like so many of you, really do care what she or other bloggers and vloggers have bought, ate and or done. And I wondered, would other people care about what I did, or bought or ate? Hence the blog was born.
I really do enjoy the notion of having a slice of the net for whatever I want to create. I've never been a person who kept a diary so a blog seemed a fun 21st century way of having one. Although this diary is definitely not private! But I also feel a bit of self inflicted pressure if I haven't posted for a few days. Then I think is anyone reading it anyway? Would you know if I took a week out and had nothing to say?
I can't help but think at times that it's so hard to stand out in the ocean of bloggers. I don't live in London or Brighton. The chances of me partaking afternoon tea are extremely likely.....if you consider it as a cuppa in an over sized mug and a bag of crisps! I don't own a cute dog or have perfectly gorgeous children. I don't fly to LA or somewhere with Instagram beaches that need no filter every 2 weeks, and to be honest my diet is very much lacking in quinoa and coconut oil. I haven't mastered contouring but I'm giving it my best efforts! Every single Summer I have a reoccurring toddler tantrum at the fact I am yet to find a maxi dress that doesn't make me look even shorter than my 5ft 1 and 3 /4 self. I don't own any succulents, although I want to. I don't have a copper trinkets everywhere in my flat. Mainly because I haven't got the space nor do I own a single piece of marble tiling.
I'm just a normal girl embarking on my very own journey both in life and as a blogger. I find that quite exciting and I hope you'll stick around for it, I hope you'll continue to return to my space on the net. I hope you will read what I write. I hope you'll find some parts amusing and maybe, in time, maybe even be inspired. Because, in the same way I talk to my friends, I want to talk to you. Tell you what I've been up to, what I've bought and share things the things I like. Because it's fun! In between the 5am alarms, the challenges at work, getting stuck with the supermarket trolley with the knackered wheel, the 'attempted delivery' cards and the endless amounts of washing up to be done, life must still remain fun. And being able to find the fun in between all that can be a challenge in itself but this blog, along with other things, is for me to have fun! And hopefully you will to!
I had no idea how this post was going to turn out when I logged on and hit the 'new post' button. But it's been nice to chat so openly. Hope you don't mind! Normal service will be resumed soon. Unless of course, this post is more your thang?! I'll never know unless you leave me a comment. I'm also interested to know- how do you find out that I've posted a blog? Do you follow me on Twitter or Instagram or do you just pop by my page in hope of a new post!?
Much love, whoever you are. Steph :)
