Hello everyone, I hope you're all well and having a lovely week. I have a very exciting post for you all as today is my blog's first birthday! I seriously cannot believe it was this time last year that I sat down and decided to make my own little corner of the Internet and start blogging. I'm so proud of how much my blog has grown and that I am a part of this amazing online community!
I decided to make my blog Belle-amie on the 11th June after coming home from one of my exams. I'd been thinking about making a blog or starting YouTube for such a long time, but the prospect of sitting in my room talking to a camera and then putting it on the Internet seemed pretty daunting. So I decided to set up an account on Blogger and just see how things went. I instantly fell in love with blogging and it quickly became a hobby that I carried out in my spare time. Now, I spend a lot of time working on my blog and new posts as I really enjoy sharing my interests with you guys! I do also have a YouTube channel where I have a couple of videos, but to be honest I don't think it's for me. I much prefer blogging as I love being creative with taking and editing photos and simply sitting down with a cup of tea and writing up a blog post.
Blogging has definitely changed me as a person, and I'm not the same girl I was a year ago. I was very shy and had no idea what I wanted to do in the future. Writing on Belle-amie has made me so much more confident and actually made me believe in myself a lot more. I never imagined that within just a year of blogging I could reach the amount of followers I have and it just amazes me that all of you enjoy what I do! It's given me a sense of achievement and shows that if I put my mind to something, I can do well. I also now know that in the future I want to go into a career in the beauty industry and hopefully have a business of my own - definitely not something I would have dreamt of a year ago!
Basically this post is just a very long way of saying thank you to each and every one of you that have joined me in my first year of blogging! I seriously couldn't have done this without all of your support. Blogging has allowed me to do some amazing things such as working with companies and talking to so many other bloggers around the world - I'm even going to my very first meet up next month! It's such a brilliant hobby and I would urge anyone thinking of starting their own blog to go for it; writing my blog has been one of the best decisions I've made!
One final thing - Google Reader will be disappearing in July, so here are some ways you can stay in touch with Belle-amie:
