Beautiful Blogger Award.



The lovely Priya from One Product Too Many has nominated me for my first ever Beautiful Blogger Award- thank you so much lovely lady!

1. Tell us how the idea of making a blog popped up and what makes you continue it.

I guess it sort of started a few years ago when I started doing a fashion/beauty scrap book of clippings and things that I liked in magazines and I'd do themed pages etc. Then about a year ago now, I started read blogs regularly and eventually decided to give blogging a try. I originally started my blog on Tumblr but found that platform wasn't really suitable for what I wanted so moved over to Blogger around Easter time this year. I personally like blogs that are updated as much as possible so I basically try to make my blog reflect what I like in other blogs. I find blogging relaxing and love sharing my experiences with products with everyone because no one likes to be ripped off and we all love a good bargain!

2. Describe a usual day in your life.

Well I've just graduated from University so my days are currently filled with applying for jobs and whatnot. I spend a lot of time with my boyfriend as well.

3. Describe what having a blog means to you.

Like I said, I find blogging really relaxing and interesting so I guess in a way its a hobby that's just a change from studying or working. I never even thought people would like or read my blog but I'm so happy y'all do!

4. Nominate other bloggers.
