Ok!
Wow! What can I say?! It is so great to be recognised by a peer for
something like this. I love the genuine expression
of appreciation exchanged here, absolutely chuffed to be nominate by Lipstick,
Lashes and Life.
What are the Blogger Recognition Awards?
This award is given by established social influencers to those they admire or respect.

How
did I start my blog?
As a marketer, with over 15 years’
experience writing for my employers or other businesses. I have always encouraged others to write, or
tell them about the power of writing articles, news stories, reviews etc for a
brand or website. So back in the summer I
thought why am I not doing this for myself?!
The Internet has allowed me to be
brilliant, creative, outgoing, daring and occasionally unconventional.
Sometimes I am a little boring too, but isn't that real life? I still don't
know what I want to be when I'm a 'grown up' but have always enjoyed reading
and writing and thoroughly enjoy the opportunities that it brings.
Advice for other bloggers
Be yourself!!! Do not try to copy others; people will want
to follow and engage with a real person, not an idea of a person. Also, do not focus on the numbers. That is not the reason you got into blogging –
they will come eventually.
I am so fed of seeing, “I’ve only
been blogging for 12 weeks and I have got 27,000 views.” Do you know what? Good
for you! This is not the be all and end
all. When I have an email or message from
someone saying what I wrote made an impact on them, this means so much more to
me.
You write because you enjoy
it. You take pictures because you enjoy
it. Be real!
