15 Blogging Facts About Me

15 Blogging Facts About Me

  1. My very first blog address was linalovehugsandkisses.blogspot.com, and I have to admit, it sounds a bit cringy now. But hey, I was just 14 back then, so cut me some slack!
  2. I've got a bunch of friends on my blog, and I really see them as the real deal, even though we haven't had the chance to meet up in person yet!
  3. After 7 years of blogging here and there, I've gotta admit, coding is still not my strong suit. HTML and all those ones and zeros? Ugh, they just don't click with me. No matter how many times I try to wrap my head around it, it slips away from my memory. Huge shoutout to those ready-made templates on Etsy, though—they've been my lifesavers, making things way
  4. I never really considered starting a beauty blog since I didn't have a ton of beauty products at first. What really gets me excited is talking with others about it and seeing my little stash of products grow over time. It just makes me so happy!
  5. I turned off my comments once because I didn't think it looked nice. Then, someone asked me, "Hey, where's the comment button?" That made me reconsider, and I turned it back on!
  6. Writing just does something special for me, you know? Ever since I was a little one, I've had this deep love for writing. And when someone takes a peek at my words and shares their thoughts, it feels like my soul gets a little boost.
  7. My blog started as a sort of online diary where I'd share silly stories about the person I wasn't a fan of. #LessonLearned – it's okay to sprinkle personal bits on your blog, but going negative in public? Not a good idea. Let's just avoid those cringe-worthy moments, shall we?
  8. I really can't write when someone's peering over my shoulder or staring at my screen as I type. It makes me feel a tad 'disturbed.' I just need my own little bubble of space and time to get into the zone.
  9. I love scribbling down ideas for my blog in my trusty old notebook. It's just my thing – there's something about putting pen to paper that makes me remember stuff better than typing it into my phone.
  10. I've never snagged a win in any blog giveaways.
  11. I gotta be real with you—sometimes I've gotta sneak off for a quick bathroom break before diving into my writing. Yeah, it's a bit weird, but hey, we all have our little things, right?
  12. I don't really have a blogging space. I just write wherever I feel like it – sometimes at the library, other times at a cafe, basically anywhere that tickles my fancy!
  13. I drop by my blog every day, just for the fun of it. No specific reason, I just enjoy checking in, even though there's not a whole lot happening there. I'm sure some of you can relate, right?
  14. I love sharing reviews and hauls on my blog because it's a blast for me, and I hope you find it just as enjoyable! It's not only fun to write about, but reading your thoughts and hearing different perspectives is a real treat. Get ready for more reviews and haul posts—I might have gone a bit overboard with buying beauty and skincare products, and I can't wait to spill all the details! 
  15. Blogging has been a fantastic journey for me, helping me pick up a bunch of valuable skills like smartphone photography, putting words together, and even improving my social game!
