As
someone who would regard herself as a creative type I have always found myself
experimenting with new ways to express my creativity and personality… and
struggled. I have previously had my own YouTube channel focusing on Beauty and
Fashion when I was about 14/15 years old – this flopped when too many people I
knew began to find out and I felt somewhat embarrassed and deleted the videos.
Although I had gained a following of around 400 subscribers, I became rather
self-conscious and overwhelmed so I binned the idea. Although I did love making
these videos I now realise I didn’t have the passion to continue to talk about
my beauty favourites or what I had bought recently in a haul video. I have
however kept my YouTube channel and am now more focussed on vlogging holidays
and my travels. These videos are far more enjoyable to make and a way to share
these memories with friends and family.
Moving
on to why I decided to start a blog… This is a new way, as well as continuing
to make the occasional video here and there, to express myself. I’ll be able to
express my ideas and thoughts publicly and have a document of my life that I
can look back on – like a diary. Saying that, I did not have the idea of
starting a blog myself. My parents have always encouraged me to start making
videos again, perhaps daily vlogging because ‘Louis Cole & Ben Brown had to
start somewhere’ but living on a small island like I do there are not many
adventures or activities I can do on a day-to-day basis therefore the content
would be pretty repetitive – so for now
I will stick to filming holidays and exciting moments on little ol’ Guernsey.
I also
have a couple of friends who blog and they too have inspired me to create this
page, so thank you girls. Chloe has a ‘Fashion and Thoughts’ blog which links in
perfectly with her degree in Textiles at Bournemouth University. Jaymee has her
‘Little Things’ blog where she writes about her life, beauty, baking and all
the little things that matter – I have recently just discovered both of their
blogs, after they kept them on the DL for so long! And I must admit I love
reading their thoughts and having a new insight to their lives. Both blogs are
absolutely brilliant and you should follow them both now!
