Hey Guys!
I am slowly going through all my nominations, and this is my last one. I was nominated by @Courtvansbooks aka Courtney Van Saders. Her blog is paperbackbeaches.com make sure you check her blog out!
What was the worst book you ever read or stopped reading?
Any book from my american literature class from university. I was an english major, and i loved it. But this one class drove me up the wall. The books were the worst, they were boring and i didnt understand what was going on. My marks definetly reflected that since i passed with 50%.
What kids movie were you scared of as a child but like now?
Cant think of any. But the one show that stands out for me is 'Are you afraid of the dark?'. We had one tv in the house at the time (very common) and my brother wanted to watch it. I would always pretend i wasn't scared but i always had nightmares.
What quote inspires you?
God doesnt put anything in front of you that you cant handle.
Im not going to lie, Curtis and I have been through some tough times. This is one thing i constantly say to myself during hard times and it always puts things back into perspective. It makes me optimistic that we will get through this (and we always do).
What is your least and favorite blogging post and why?
I dont know about least blogging post. My favorite to post has to be a review. I love trying new products, makeup, hair products, food etc. Whenever i can write a review and give my honest opinion i love it. I even miss it when i havent done it for awhile. I always try to include pros and cons to give the reader a good overall idea about the product.
How do you promote your blog?
Twitter, instagram and pinterest are the main platforms. If i am not tweeting out about my posts i am finding ways to get my links out there. Follow trains are amazing because you get introduced to new blogs and people.
Instagram has been a challenge because of the algorithm, which makes hashtagging more important. I love following other bloggers and commenting on pictures. It is a great way to get noticed and build friendships.
Where is your favorite place to read?
I love reading in the living room, on the couch near my big Windows. My couch is super comfy and i always find a blanket to wrap myself in. Daytime is the best because the building is quiet and kayden is sleeping. It is like i am all alone and i get to escape for awhile.
What are some of the things you havent seen or read but know everything about because of pop culture?
No idea.
How would someone describe your blogging style?
Laid back. Its not formal but there is a level professionalism. I want to people to feel as though they are sitting with me and having a conversation.
What do you find the most challenging about blogging about your topic?
There is a fine line between revealing to much and not enough. I find the most succesful mom bloggers reveal everything and document every aspect of their life. I like a certain level of privacy. It is also hard to put in hours of hard work into a post to get no recognition. By recognition i mean more followers, free products or money. There are so many mom bloggers out there, who are starting out like me, and it is hard to compete. It is easy to beat yourself up, if you don't have what seems to be as glamorous of a life.
What is the most ridiculous fact you know?
Cotton candy was invented by a dentist
In 40 years what do you think people will be nostalgic for?
Meaningful relationships. We live in a time where divorces are common, friendships fall out and we are plugged into devices. Social media is how we get famous and people dont have a lot of ambition because of that. We often forget what its like to put our phone down and hear what the other person is saying, and know basic life and communication skills. The phone and technology has become an escape from reality, something we turn to when we dont want to deal with a situation or life.
