Wow. 3 years. How quickly has that gone?
I must say, this past year has been without a doubt my favourite blogging year. Since starting university my passion for writing has grown an awful lot and so has my love for all things beauty. Blogging has given me so many opportunities that I would never have been able to have if it wasn't for my own little section on the internet. It's not only given me journalistic knowledge but also beauty knowledge and of course, it's given me the opportunity to talk to people who love the same things that I do. I say this every year and I will continue to do so for the rest of my blogging years but thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your support. If I'm feeling down about something or just under the weather, I can rely on your all, your lovely comments and tweets to make myself feel better. We're like a family and I love seeing our family grow every single day.
Blogging is something that has changed a lot since I first started. When I started, there weren't half as many blogs as there are now and "press samples" were pretty much unheard of. Now, blogging is taking over the beauty industry and bloggers are regarded as genuine sources to find out about the latest beauty info. And if there's ever a product I'm looking into buying, I will always type in "*insert product name here* blogspot" into Google and see what other people like myself think. I'm so proud of how much blogging has grown. It really is a great 'industry' and it's lovely seeing the amount of respect we now receive from industry professionals.
I was 17 when I first started blogging. I'm now 20. I've grown so much as a person in such a short amount of time. I've since learnt to drive, got a car, passed my A Levels, started university, been to blogging events, met new friends, lost old ones and of course, danced onstage with my idol. It's been a whirlwind 3 years and I look forward to the next 3 years. Life throws some obstacles sometimes but no matter what, things get better. Always.
Once again, thank you for all of your support. It genuinely means so much to me.
