WHY BLOG ??

When I began Graciesworld in 2015 I made the conscious decision to share it with my family/friends via a Graciesworld Facebook page within 2 days of launching. 

At the time the support was incredible, Although alot of questions have been asked over a course of time the main ones are -

 "Why you doing that?"
"Whats the point if you aren't being paid?"

Well, the answer is pretty simple, when I began blogging I was at a very strange place in my life, going through abit of change within my own life and personality, growing as person as such. I have always loved reading/writing and with alot of encouragement I thought 'Why not give it a go and see?'
It became an escape! Something I look forward to planning and delving into every week (sad I know) but a place where I'm able talk about all the things I like, also a place to document things I want to remember and look back on. Alot of you know, I have a son and although his pictures and chats of him don't feature very often, behind the blog its encouraged me to take more photos and get out and about doing things and combat parts of my anxiety.

Basically, I blog because I enjoy it, for me. whether I have readers/followers or not - all of that is just a bonus!

I can't really talk to my 3 year old about my makeup haha!

Blogmas was a huge step for me but also a great motivation and made me see how much I love my blog and all the behind the scenes work that goes with it. As I was blogging everyday I got asked if i was being paid for said posts - no I wasn't, it was a fun little stressful challenge I set myself and was super proud of by the end😀
 If ever in the future, payments became part of this thats just be a huge bonus.

As I look back, I can certainly see how my posts and writing style have changed and how much more confidence I have in myself both on and offline. This little online focus has helped me through some terrible times and developed me as a person in terms of confidence, being a little more relaxed, a tinsy winsy bit more fun haha, working on self-care, I've found things I like about myself and I found things I enjoy doing | e.g - experimenting with makeup as before was same old routine day in day out.

Sometimes a post can take from 1 hour to a week+ to be ready, but I love the whole hustle and bustle. I've found something thats mine and just for me, I love that!

I'm all about going with the flow and enjoying what I do when it comes to Graciesworld!

Thanks to all the readers, the comments, the likes, the shares- I really do appreciate it

Lots of Love💗
