My Questions
1. What's the most difficult thing about blogging, so far?
I would say finding the time, I have so many ideas but it isn't practical to do them as fast as they come to mind. I need to wait for time, money and sometimes others to put everything in place.
Also the fact that I have to rely on Social Media so much. It is amazing, it's free advertising but at the same time I just wanna not have to use it and use it when I fancy.
2. Can you name 3 Blogs you look up to?
Reading Hannah Gale really helped me improve my writing, everyday I kept finding myself back on her blog because I just adored the way she wrote and wanted to know what she was up to next, it feels like she's my friend.
Hannah Louise F I really love her style and visuals so I would definitely say her.
With Love Yossy has a beautiful aesthetic that can be seen on her blog and social media accounts, I love the consistency.
3. What's your opinion about Social Media?
It can be amazing. It can help to inform of us worldly issues, news can get out faster, it can help to find missing people and we can all speak up on what we believe in. In terms of for blogging, I don't really know how anyone would read my blog if I didn't have it. The majority of my blog readers click on my social links so yeah, very much needed.
It is also a crazy and dangerous place at times, which I spoke about on my Social Media VS. Mental Health post. 12 year old girls feel like they have to post provocative pics so that people will like them or so that they will look like celebrities. People leave nasty comments on YouTube and stuff. It can be a bit much and I worry about some people using it with mental health issues. There needs to be a healthy balance with social media and stricter rules need to be in place in terms of online bullying.
4. What's your favourite Song/Album/Artist?
