Helllllo,
This is only going to be a quick post, but please follow me on my new twitter. It's just going to be for the beauty side of my life really because I don't feel comfortable talking about my blog on my normal twitter. This is just because a lot more people are joining twitter who I know in real life and I really don't want them thinking I'm vain (if that makes sense).
I mean I know my closest friends will know I'm not because I really just love beauty products and always have done as I have wanted to be a makeup artist from a young age. However, when it comes to someone who doesn't know me AS well, I don't want them getting the wrong impression of me, because it couldn't really be further from the truth! It's just because I think it could sometimes come across that way if you don't know he full story behind it and I don't want people thinking things about me which totally aren't true.
At the end of the day, I'm just a normal girl who only wears makeup when I leave the house and I just sit around looking like a total tramp with greasy hair most days! (but still sitting in front of my makeup drawer swatching eyeshadows I have swatched a million times before, obviously). And I could rattle off a bigger list of things I dislike about myself compared to what I like about myself, just like most other girls.
I mean, my blog is my hobby. Makeup and beauty has always been my hobby. Just like some people love sport or singing. But when it comes to writing on a website about things which make you look better with pictures of yourself, I'm not surprised people would think they might love themselves a bit... However, I know that even though makeup IS used to make yourself look better, I love the process of putting it on more!
Just to clarify, I'm not embarrassed about my blog at all. I am SO greatful for everyone who reads and comments on my blog :) I won't stop using my other account and I will still speak to you all on there, but it's just for my day to day tweets.
So please click HERE to follow my other account and I will love you forever.
I would love to hear other people's opinion on this.. have you ever felt the same way I have?!
Lots of love
Amy
like i said to you last night i completely understand this. someone who im not friendly with anymore wrote on her twitter something along the lines of (my fault for being nosy) "I wish people would stop thinking their makeup experts writing for a magazine".
ReplyDeletei dont have the energy to get annoyed, more feel sorry that A) she felt the need to look at my blog if she doesn't like me B) had to pass comment publicly C) she wasn't ever that good a friend to find out about the hobby i've had well over a year (when we talked)
honestly though, quite a few people i know are aware of mine and have their own blogs/something online that is their hobby :) x
Oh I know just what you mean with keeping blogging and reality seperate. I've not done this myself personally with Twitter, there'd be little to no point at this time! It's definitely a weird thing explaining blogging to other people, when you shouldn't "have" to explain or justify yourself at all?
ReplyDeleteI don't share my blog on Facebook, but for those who have ventured to capsule-blogging in the form of Twitter, I may as well keep doing what I do and let them think whatever they wish, hahaha!
Hope you're well Amy (: xxxx
I totally feel the same way about keeping my blog and real life separate. On here, the girls are so nice and willing to help out and such, but in real life, a lot of people can be judgemental. Not that I'm hiding everything on here or trying to get away from it all with my blog. Some people are just better off not knowing about it.
ReplyDeleteThat’s So Fletch
xo, Jay
Emma: That's so wrong! Grrrr, that's so annoying. No one should make you feel bad for the things which make you happy! What a horrible person! Yeah I'm not bothered about my close friends reading it, but people like that lass are the exact reason why I'm doing this! I shouldn't have to, but it makes me more confident with it :)
ReplyDeleteMichelle: I know! We shouldn't have to justify it at all! I don't think anyone would have anything bad to say about your blog a) because it's just amazing and b)you write a lot about fashion at uni so it would just seem more normal to them.. lets be honest, I don't think if I started writing psychology blog posts they would get the biggest of hits ;)
Thanks for commenting giiiirls, lots of love to you both :) xxxxx
Jay- Sorry I didn't reply to your comment above, you were just writing it as I posted mine :) I agree, if I was to stop it because of not wanting people to find out, I wouldn't have the chance to meet some of the lovely people who also blog! :D xxxx
ReplyDeleteI started a separate twitter for my nail blog, and I use it more than my personal twitter! I don't want my friends thinking all I do is talk about nails when I'm announcing a new blog post. I totally understand!
ReplyDeleteI totally get this too! I have told some of my friends about my blog but not given them the address or anything and they get that. Most think it's pretty cool cus they understand that like you, I wear makeup out the house and if I'm fannying around, I don't have a full face on just to do the hoovering.
ReplyDeleteEmma - What a hoebag that girl is! I am sure I'm not just speaking for myself when I say I am under NO impression that I am an expert, just expressing my opinion which I am entitled to do! How rude of her.
