I just want to say I’ve only just started my own blog recently, but your blog was the first ever beauty blog I read over a year ago, stumbling across it one night luckily on the internet. I’ve been reading your blog and others ever since. As a new blog we’ve only got 100ish readers on each platform, but it’a all quality not quantity. I’d rather have 20 followers that read the blog regularly and pop by rather than thousands who have only ever been on the page once 🙂

Chin up chick and please keep writing!!

Fantastic post! It really is so easy to get sucked into that world. I go through stages of getting sucked into the whole followers thing but now I’ve reached the 200 milestone, I’m content. I really am. I enjoy blogging but I make no money from it despite being offered sponsored posts etc. It’s just not me and I don’t feel successful enough to monetise my blog either. It’s been an amazing hobby this past year while I’ve been unemployed and I’d recommend it to anybody but the key thing is not to compare yourself to other bloggers. I have grown my blog as organically as possible and it has been a verrryyy slow process but I’m proud I didn’t use tactics to help me grow 🙂

It's a tough one huh? The whole samples/events thing makes you feel sometimes like you've "arrived" and when you're excluded for some reason you start looking at what you do, why it isn't good enough or big enough for xyz brand.

The problem I have is I set up as a magazine and that was always my mission statement, the beauty pages are only one aspect but I'm viewed against the bbloggers for those posts. I want to make the site engaging, informative and honest however people just aren't interested in commenting on my posts!

I'm not going to compromise on my vision, I wanted a magazine but you really do get sucked into the beauty world and the whole blogging community. I just need to find out how to get people interested in what I post!

You are doing a great job though, don't let stress get the better of you.
