Blog Advice | What, How, When?

I recently got my blog seen/ noticed and since then I have been bombarded by emails and companies wanting me on their side. I didn't say no. It's hard, exhausting and sometimes I want to quit, but I never.  A few people have asked me to explain to them how to get noticed, so this really makes the prefect blog post!
  1. Really, find out what you want to blog about. If that's beauty, lifestyle, photography, tips, I love cats appreciation, food or anything you want. You need to figure out what you want to be known as.
  2. Find a blog site which is easy to use and free. Don't be fooled with sites which asks you to pay (other than WordPress which can be free, but this site has packages.) Some good ones to use are either blogger (which I use), WordPress, which many people use, Webly and many others. I signed up to a few and played around until I found one I was comfortable with.
  3. Get a note pad. I have a note pad which I carry around and write down any future blog post ideas or anything cool I want to review. Also, if you have days off I binge post which means that on a Monday and Wednesday night I'm not rushing around for ideas to write. Sometimes though it can take me all week to write on post because I'm stuck or it can take me 10 minutes.
  4. Don't worry about sponsors and paid advertisement. Chill and just enjoy it! I have blogged for a very long time until I finally got noticed and even see the glimpse of money. Remember that it's not about the money, it's about having fun and being you.
  5. Not everyone will get your blog or the content you put on it. It's okay, chill and don't give in just yet. The hardest criticism can come from family and friends and that sucks.
  6. Weekly views don't mean you are failing. At first you won't get hundreds of views and each post and that is okay. At first I didn't even get 30 views on each post. I assumed I would be like Zoella or Tanya Burr, I'm not. I'm Anna and I've worked bloody hard to be like this!
  7. Social media is your friend, tell everyone who will listen about your blog. Don't be scared to tell strangers and ask people to share it for you. This is a great way to meet new friends and people.
  8. Don't feel the need to review expensive things. not every beauty blogger will review Mac, not every food blogger will review stupidly expensive restaurants. Don't skint yourself for a post, that's stupid!
  9. HAVE FUN AND BE YOU.

Be yourself, have fun and enjoy blogging. Enjoy making new friends and watch your little adventure grow. Most importantly, watch yourself grow into a wonderful person!


I'm thankful every single day that I have the opportunity to do what I do. The future is very bright and cheery.

July faves! | Unicorns and Fairy Dust.

July favourites, after you guys have asked me so many times! It's not all beauty, as you'll soon find out! Umberto Giannaini Over night Beauty Moisture Balm. Can we all just have a minutes silence over this? It is amazing, utterly amazing and it's now fully embedded into my hair routine.. That's when I remember I have one. As you all know, I have bleached my hair quite a bit and the bottom of my hair has got it the worst. This balm is light so it doesn't have your hair greasy and heavy and it actually works! I've tried countless others and nothing works at all, they seem to work at the start but actually, the shine is just pure grease and we haven't got time of that! I have the travel size and it seems to last for ages, you can get the full range of this product and others by the same brand at Boots or at the website. As always, I'll link everything down below! Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb, Lush Did I steal part of Coreys present to use o

My week- 18th Birthday special.

Image
This is a new type of series I will be starting.. Well starting it now. A blog post to tell you about my week, upcoming events and posts and just a general reminder of my week so far. It is going to be the raw Anna, the Anna who always goes into McDonalds and gets a Chicken Nugget Happy Meal and a Chicken Burger and the Anna who sings the same song every morning to Dan. The real Anna. I turned 18 on the 18th September 2015 and it was one of the most 'normalish' days of my life, fun and exciting and all that but I was the same old Anna, just a year older. I had my birthday party the week before, best night ever. Thanks again to everyone who bothered to turn up! My Mam put this photo up on Facebook, I mean what can I say? I was a cute baby! We took a family selfie because we are cute like that, can we all just look at Oscars face please? I think he's had enough selfies at this point. We may not be the biggest family there is but we sure are the best!

Dear 13 year old Anna.

Dear Anna, I've chosen this age because it's when most things started to blossom... And then burn. Right now you have a crush on a boy, a real big crush and everyone knows.. Even him. You'll shout and get jealous and you'll honestly think that you're going to marry him one day. How sad. It takes you until you're 17 and 7 months to finally get over him. I want you to know that you should never change to get a boys attention. Your Mam is in a relationship, you hate him and his kids. You want them gone from your life. You want you and your Mam, and you don't really want to share her. You'll hate his kids, you'll hate how strange they are and you'll hate your soon to be Step Dad more than anything in this world. I  want you to know that, even though things might be though and you hate everyone and everything, things will get better. Right now, you hate your weight, or should I say a few individuals hate your weight and they will do eve
