I never really know how to feel about blogging advice posts. I mean don't get me wrong, I have written some myself in the past, but I sometimes find it weird how common they are. when I think back to what the world of blogging was like when I launched my blog in 2010.

Blogging has completely revolved since then, back a few years ago, people blogged as a hobby and it was about things that people loved. There was no money or free samples involved, it passed the time for many of us whilst we were at school/college/uni/work. For me, blogging was always an escape. It helped me battle through homesickness, loneliness and the stress of my final years at uni.

However, over the past few years, the popularity of blogs have grown. People realised that blogs have power and influence, then suddenly things started to change. Brands were interested in blogs, events started being planned for bloggers to attend, PR samples were being given out and before we knew it, blogging could soon become a full time job.
I am a full time blogger, which I still find hard to believe when I think back to my days in 2010, where I'd blog about nail polish, and take blog photos on my phone, on my bed on a tea towel. It always makes me laugh how no one would ever read my blog now if I posted photos with the tea towel background and how much pressure there is for blogs to be super glossy and I always feel sorry for new bloggers as I wouldn't even know where to start.

I mean heck, I've been blogging for se...
