Blogger Recognition Award!

-
Hey all!! So I recently got nominated, by the lovely #sweettreats (definitely go check her out, she posts a lot about baking and deliciousness!) for the blogger recognition award!! I was kinda in shock and happy haha I was not expecting that and it's so cool!! So thank you!!!

Anyways. So the normal protocol for the post is to create a post about the award, and in said post you must...

-thank the blogger who nominated you,
-tell a little bit about how you started blogging,
-give two pieces of advice for new bloggers,
-and finally, nominate 15 other bloggers.

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET'S GET TO IT!

Okay, so I first got into blogging because of Zoella's book, Girl Online. Cliché, I know. I'd always wanted to do it, but this book just really encouraged me. So I did! In June 2015 I started up my blog. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do then, I just wanted to blog. So I came up with this trying new things concept. Yeah, I'll admit, my posts aren't always about that. But I do enjoy trying new things so it really works out for me.

If I were to give advice to new bloggers...I'd say don't overthink it, just do it! It may seem scary, but you just gotta go for it. And if you keep trying to perfect it, it's never gunna get out there. You gotta start somewhere, right? And trust me, the blogging community is pretty inclusive and supportive, as far as I've seen. Don't not do something just because you're afraid of being judged. To quote Taylor Swift, "You'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinkin that way!"

OKAY. Onto the nominations!

I nominate...

Emma
Paige
Rosie
Rae
V
Envy
Nicky
Marianne
Eleni
Sunset
Cielo
Happy 'lil Plant Life
Jade
Acqua
Ella (I know you already did this but I feel like I should recognize you anyways haha)

And that's all from me for now!! How is your day going? ALSO. Do you have any ideas for posts that I could do? (fall themed or not) Cause I'd be curious to know, so leave a comment below! (THAT RYHMED!)

'TILL NEXT TIME!

    Great advice for new bloggers! I actually started up my blog not to long ago- actually (late January this year)- so TECHNICALLY I'm kind of new to the whole blogging thing. Therefore, your advice was really helpful and our blogging stories are kind of similar. Part of the reason WHY I had started up a blog was because I had read Girl Online but there were other various reasons.

    PS:Found your blog via #sweetreats .

Hey hey hey! How are you all? So, it's Sunday! Meaning, I'M BACK :)))) Okay, so I thought I'd do a combination post, since I only got one question haha :D So first for the question from  +Paige Petrovsky  : What made you want to start a blog ? THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION :))))))  I had always kind of wanted to do something like this, before I started. I loved (and still love) writing, and photography. I had just read Zoella's book, Girl Online, and so decided that it would be super cool to start a blog myself!! And here we are, two years later, still lovin' it :)) Alright. Now, I'm super excited to be doing a tag today!!!! The lovely  Sweet Treats  nominated me for the Mystery Bloggers Award!! A massive thank you to them, I'm honoured!! You should definitely go check out their blog cause it is pretty freaking awesome!! :) Also, the creator of this award is  Okoto Enigma , who is also pretty cool!! You should definitely check out her blog as well. ...

my quarantine thus far as told through tv shows.

  Hello! Long time no see, haha oops. It's been a minute. So today, I wanted to do a mini recap on my fave shows so far since quarantine! I'm sure I'm not alone in watching significantly more netflix since quarantine began lol. However, I wanted to give it a bit of a twist. So without further ado, I give you my quarantine thus far, as told through TV shows. Friends/The Goodwife - March/April/May Okay this is back when quarantine first began. My life consisted of watching Friends, doing schoolwork, procrastinating, doing more schoolwork, watching the Goodwife, and studying for exams. I can't actually remember which one I watched first - I think I watched them together. Luckily by this time there wasn't too much schoolwork left haha. But I watched all of both these shows those 3 months...I was a bit obsessed if you can't tell. But the episodes for friends were only 20ish minutes long! I would 100% recommend both of these shows though, amazing pieces of work.  10/1...

Heeey y'all. Sorry I'm late again :/ I always think I'll have time to post on the weekends but I always have too much homework D: I have a little time now though, so I thought I'd try and post :) It's that time of year. It's dreary, dark, wet/snowy (depending on where you live I guess haha), and it seems to be a common theme, to lose inspiration during winter. BUT NO MORE!!! For I have come to you with 7 tips on staying inspired throughout winter!!! SO LEGGO!!! :) 1. Set goals. If you have something to work towards, I think it's much easier to get through these months. But even better, set goals that make you excited to get up in the morning. And write them down!! I'm going to do that right now in fact - and you should too. Scroll down to the comments and put 'em in, we can support each other in our endeavours to reach our full potential :) Okay so for the winter (so from now - January - until, like, March) my ...
