One Year Blog Anniversary!

I have never ever stuck to a New Years Resolution that I know of, but YES as of now I have kept one for a whole year! On the first of January 2014 I posted the first entry on Just Being Hannah. I have manage to post at least once a month (just!) and I'm pretty proud of what I have achieved. It might not look a lot to some but to me it is!

I have found out a few truths about blogging over the first year of Just Being Hannah...

Do you agree? 

1.) That's becoming a superstar blogger doesn't happen over night or over a few months or even in a year.

2.) It's pretty hard work to blog regularly with a full time job and busy life. Even when you want to blog life gets in the way.

3.) You seem to collect a lot of beauty products and they start spilling from bathroom cabinet to dressing table and onwards until they take over your life.

4.) You check your Boots points total every time you buy anything in there then you way up if it's time to spurge them yet! Hmm and what on?  

5.) Muji storage is your new best friend. 

6.) Taking good photos with good lighting is hard work and more or less impossible in winter.

7.)Yankee candles are a blogger essential.

8.) You debate starting a YouTube channel more or less everyday, then remember how you hate the sound of your own voice. 

9.) When something new comes out you want it... No you NEED IT! 

10.) You develop an obsession with notebooks and pens, to jot down any blog post idea anywhere.

11.)You wish you were doing/going to all the cool places and holidays every other bloggers seems to be going on. And think your life seems pretty crap. (but it's not!!).

12.)Your mum/boyfriend/sister forever makes comments about how many products you have and always say why don't you use up what you have got first?

13.) Going to Costa and taking an artistic photo of your drink is really cool, then up loading it to instgram and watch the likes fly in.

  

14.) You think about going on a spending ban every few weeks... Then you get temped to the shops... Game over!

15.) You learn not to rush ideas and not to worry that you haven't posted at all this week even though some people have posted 5 times and it's already Thursday. Every blogger is different with different things happening in there lives. Go at your own pace and who cares if you haven't posted in a month, it's you life and its your blog and it's not a competition or a race.

Overall I have really enjoyed my first year of blogging and I will defo carry it in into 2015. I will try to blog more regularly and more structured. I'm aiming for one post a week so let's see how this goes...!

I have learnt that it's not all about the numbers of followers, views and comments it's more about you and how your blog has made you feel or how it has given you a new least of life. My blog has given me something to focus on and is changing my worrying and anxious mind set. I'm not to fussed about the fact I don't get 100s of comments on every post (or any post!) or I don't have 1000s of followers, it's something for me and that I'm proud of know matter now small. 

I really love the bloggers community and hopefully in the new year I will get involved with more blogger chats on Twitter because when I have joined in I have really enjoyed them. I have made some blogger cyber friends too! 

If you are reading this and thinking about starting a blog... Do it! Do it for yourself and enjoy doing it. Don't make its a chore and something you have to force yourself to do, post when you want and not when you have been made to feel like you have too!

Catch you next time
Just Hannah
