She has only recently starting blogging but her blog posts are amazing! 

The rules are as follows:

Thank the blogger who nominated you & provide the appropriate links.
Write a post to show your award.
Give a brief story of how your blog started.
Give two pieces of advice to newbie bloggers.
Select 15 other bloggers to nominate this award to (this may be tricky as sooo many bloggers have already been awarded this recently).

Where did it all start?

I have always wanted to start blogging but in all honestly, I have never really had the confidence to start a blog. I did not know where to start! I have always read other peoples blogs and watched youtube so I decided to give it ago... and here we are!😱
I started my blog to express my love for beauty, fashion and lifestyle. I am a full time university student and I also work, so blogging was something which I liked to do when I have some spare time! I have been blogging for about 4 months, I did start my blog around a year ago but I did not take it seriously and I stopped. I found my love for blogging again and the other bloggers who are out there!


Advice for new bloggers?

1. Connect with other bloggers!😱
I thought when I started my blog that other bloggers would not want to connect and that it was all very private, well I was so wrong!! Everyone who I have been contacted by within the blogger community have been so nice! 🙈 There are many blogger chats on social media which are full of  bloggers who are in the same boat and everyone is so lovely! They give amazing advice and I have learnt loads from other bloggers! You will also make so many friends through social media!


2. Be yourself!💁🏽
There is a lot on social media about influencers being 'fake' and I never really noticed this until I started watching Youtube and reading more and more blog posts. I really recommend just to be yourself! People can see straight threw you if you're trying to be someone you're not, it will come across on your blog posts. People will enjoy reading your posts for just being yourself, you don't need to hide your silly or excitable side.. its makes your posts so much more interesting and personal.
 I learnt the hard way👎🏻 In my earlier posts I would try and copy other bloggers writing styles, and it wasn't a true representation of myself, and people noticed this and I wasn't getting any views, as soon as I started writing how I would talk to my friends, I started getting so many more views and comments on my posts!
