2015, what a year it’s been!
Overall I’ve faired rather well. I’ve met some fabulous people, worked with a selection of great brands & pr companies, discovered a truck load of amazing new beauty goodies, started a YouTube channel, reached 1000 spectacular followers on the blog, reached 500 (and counting) subscribers on YouTube, uploaded a video that has a bewildering 250K views (!!) & uploaded a countless number of posts that I’ve loved every minute writing. Sounds pretty awesome right?
But in the midst of all that excitement there’s also been a few rough patches too, struggles that I tend to keep to myself. However it’s you awesome lot that quite often are the best medicine to dry the tears and paint a huge smile on my face. I’ve met some amazing people on here and built friendships that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. I’ve gotten to know so many of you – particularly from my series Behind The Blog, that has been a roaring success with new and established bloggers; allowing us all to learn a little more about behind the scenes of others.
So with that being said I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all who got involved. It’s been a pleasure getting to know every single one of you… and here they all are in order from January 2015 to present date, the bloggers who have made every Tuesday and Thursday a pleasure to upload…
