Yesterday, I was savouring my mom's lip-smacking nasi lemak, and out of the blue, it hit me like a ton of coconuts – all the blogger things I've never done. Let's be real, I'm no A-list blogger; I'm more like the rookie scribbler who's shamelessly breaking all the rules in the blogging playbook.
I don't have any white bedsheets/ marble background
White bedsheets, everything white and rose gold and marble, seem like the ultimate blogger trend now. I feel so guilty for not having one! I feel like I am not a true blogger unless I have those. If you did see my background is a marble, that's probably the floor in my house.
I don't give a damn about SEO/ analytics/ my stats
I judge the success of my blog by the sheer joy I get from writing it. You know, some people are all caught up in fretting about their precious domain authority and whatnot, but hey, it's your blog, and you're the captain of this ship! Personally, I couldn't give two hoots. Google Analytics and SEO? Those are like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded in a thunderstorm - way too complex for my simple brain to fathom.
I don't have a bullet journal
If you haven't come across bullet journals yet, just hop on over to Google and check them out. Now, personally, I don't roll with bullet journals for my blog stuff. I mean, sure, they're like this super-duper customizable tool that can handle your to-do lists, blog ideas, or even your doodle diary – you name it. I keep it simple with a regular old notebook, some snazzy coloured pens, and some washi tapes to jazz things up. And guess what? It gets the job done just fine, so I'm all good.
*UPDATE: I have one now and I LOVE IT! Tap here for my bullet journal entries.
I have unstable blogging niches
I'm totally into all things beauty, and I've been sharing a ton of beauty-related content lately because, well, it's my jam! But you know what? Even though I'm head over heels for all things beauty, there are those days when I'm just like, "Ugh, do I really have to talk about lipstick again?"
It's a constant rollercoaster ride trying to find my groove in the blogging world, especially when you're diving deep into the glamorous universe of beauty. Seriously though, if you're not currently adding beauty products to your cart, are you even doing the whole beauty blogger thing right?
I don't have a DSLR
I'm rocking this blogging game with just my trusty Samsung Galaxy S4, no fancy equipment for me! I don't think I need a camera, Photoshop, or studio lighting – it's all about that DIY vibe with my phone's camera and natural light. Sure, I've considered getting a top-notch camera, but for now, my Galaxy S4 is enough. Who knows, maybe one day I'll splurge on a pro camera, but for now, I'm doing just fine with what I've got.
I am domain name-less
I gotta real with you, having your own domain name is like the ultimate blogger flex, you know? It's like telling the world, "Yeah, I mean business with this blogging thing." Right now, I'm rolling with lennezulkiflly.blogspot.com, but trust me, if money wasn't my arch-nemesis, oh honey, I'd go all out for my blog.
