Turning Sixteen…

By May 19, 2016 My Style

Hello during this random blog post, the month and day of which coincide numerically with my expulsion from a uterus… yes, it’s my birthday! I’m officially sixteen… throw streamers, shoot out the confetti, pop the champagne (wait – can I drink that yet? 🤔) and get the balloons out because yeah, it’s my “sweet sixteenth”. Crazy, huh? I wonder if any of you have been here from the beginning? Let me know in the comments how long you’ve been reading! 1⃣6⃣ Today’s post is a little update! Hold on tight…

Recently I’ve been having a bit of self-doubt, especially when it comes to my blog, so even though I know I shouldn’t, I’m going to apologise for the lack of content coming your way. I’m the sort of person who only really likes to put their best foot forward, or in this case, their best posts forward, so when I’m not especially proud of what I’m writing, I end up not publishing anything for a while. Luckily, I’m starting to realise that, that’s okay, but I just needed you to know, in case you’re wondering where I am at.

It always feels as if I have a lot more going on behind the scenes of my blog, rather than actually on it. For example, I just signed off the start of a new documentary style project that I’m going to be a part of (I can’t say much more just in case 1 – I’m not allowed, and 2 – something changes) and I’m still collaborating with different brands on upcoming features… it’s just the bit in between that I get a stuck with.

I know exactly the type of posts I want to put out, but it’s coming up with the individual ideas every four, or however many days. I also have to take into account that I’ve changed a lot in the past couple of years. My likes and dislikes have changed meaning that how I want to come across has been altered. At the moment I’m big on laid-back, carefree photography (inspired by film and polaroids) so my photoshopped profile pictures and header images don’t quite showcase that, do they?

Honestly, doing a whole overhaul of my blog has been on my mind recently… there are just several things in the way of stopping me, like formatting of old posts etc. I want readers to come to my blog and see who I am now rather than who I was before. I want to get rid of wishlist style posts and solely focus on my own, unique content. That‘s the dream.

But we can’t forget our origins, can we? Having all of my old posts creates an archive of all of the adventures and stories that have turned me into who I am, so stripping them away doesn’t show all of the hard work… it’s a real dilemma. I suppose what I’m trying to say is, right now, I think I need some time to figure everything out. I absolutely, one hundred percent, no doubt about it, want to keep my blog going, but I need to figure out how to keep it going.

So in the words of Tilly from Miranda; bear with, bear with, bear with.

I didn’t mean for this post to be quite so dramatic and rather depressing, but it’s actually lifted a weight off my shoulders, writing everything out for you to know. Today I’m going to relax and enjoy the day with my family (this will be my last birthday as an aunt to one – my next niece/nephew is on the way – woo!) and celebrate the fact that I’m still happy and healthy and going strong; because that’s all that matters, right?

Thank you for sticking with me over these past four (well, five birth) years, seeing me change and grow. It’s quite an exciting prospect that one day I’ll be able to look back on it all and see how I evolved into who I’m going to become. The great thing is, that even in these moments of doubt, I know I have you guys to spur me on!

So Long Farewell: A Blogging Break

By July 29, 2013 DIY & Lifestyle, My Style

I never really do sort of ‘update’ posts but I thought I’d do one for a change!
I’m actually not going to be blogging for 2 weeks! I’m not going anywhere, but I have family over and due to a certain exciting thing, I decided it would be a good time to take a little blogging break! Yes, I am stepping away from the keyboard and screen!

Yes.. I really did tuck in my laptop for a blog post! Moving onwards… As I said I am only having a break for 2 weeks so it won’t be too long, but it’s long enough for me to have some lovely guest bloggers writing for you! I’ve got some lovely people who I really trust with blog posts so don’t worry you won’t be missing out on much! I hope you enjoy what they have to say and of course make sure to follow them all!

If you are wondering why I am having a blog break, it is because, 1 – I have a very exciting thing happening in my family life (You’ll find out soon!), and 2 – I am not that happy with my blog at the moment. I know that sounds really negative, but in my head I am feeling a little bit… bored?! I feel like I am doing everything for somebody else and I am not putting ‘me’ into my posts. I know some people will say that, that is very big headed but being a blogger sometimes you do have to think about yourself for a change and not your readers, because obviously this is my blog. When I come back, I am hoping that I will be refreshed and ready to start blogging again and really enjoying what I do, and I hope you will enjoy my new ideas.

During the period I am away I won’t be completely offline so, if you want to contact me for anything for example a feature, or just simply you want to ask me a question, do not hesitate to email me: [email protected] or tweet me: @TollyDollyPosh If you want an urgent reply make sure you email instead of tweet as I am most likely to respond on that. You can also catch up with what I get up to on Instagram (tdposh).

I’m sorry this is a rather boring post, but I just wanted to let you know. Scheduled posts will start from this Thursday and will end on the 13th August, so I’ll see you then! Thanks so much for being amazing once again. It really does mean the world to me that you guys enjoy reading my blog even when I am not totally happy with it.
