Three years ago I started up this little blog and since then, I've noticed some common trends. After a while, you begin picking up little blogging habits without even realising. When I began to think about it, I realise how many I've picked up over the years, many of which my fellow bloggers will be able to relate to.
You constantly take photos of pretty things - running a beauty blog in particular, you're constantly taking photos of beauty products. The more you blog, the more you become aware that you're attracted to taking photos of pretty objects. Why? Because they look good in photos. Trust me, I know I can't be the only one.
You own all the rose gold - gold, rose gold or anything shiny. You're like a turkey - instantly drawn towards a shiny object. Makeup packaging, makeup products - anything rose gold, you're sure to own it. After all, they do look amazing sitting in your collection, no arguments required.
The packaging always wins - perfume bottles are especially my weakness. Something with pretty packaging always draws me in - that's why limited edition is forever desirable. Take perfume bottles, for instance, there are no two bottles which are the same. Look at the beautiful, delicate designs each bottle has.
Candles are your best friends - blog photos require props, so what better than candles? Most are inexpensive, there are millions of different candles available and not to mention how good they smell whilst taking photos. Only problem is, they're too pretty to burn...
You have an excessive makeup collection - as well as writing a blog, you're most likely guaranteed to read blogs too. Therefore, you read reviews on products, fancy trying them out so add them to your collection, and it's a never ending cycle. Then, before you know it, you have a makeup collection the size of Boots or Superdrug. Happy days.
Of course, there are many more but these are the most common habits I've picked up in the past three years. And I'm sure there are plenty more to come in the forthcoming years..

DeleteThese are all so true :D
ReplyDeleteHaha I know! x
DeleteRose gold anything usually ends up getting bought, including a dish drainer and fruit bowl HAHAHA! I'm not a beauty blogger but a lot of these apply to lifestyle blogging too and I always have my blog in the back of my mind when doing anything. It can be a great thing but also leaves me little time to relax and enjoy what I am actually doing without photographing it all.
