I have been hum-ing and ha-ing over posting this award nomination post since last November. I have wanted to post this as I am so grateful to Jen for nominating me but I also haven't wanted to post this as I am so aware that people may not like the reason why I have taken so long to post it.
The reason why it has taken me so long to even fill out the nomination form is because I have not nominated anyone to take part and it has been a great source of anxiety for me so instead I want to invite my readers to nominate someone they think should be nominated in the comments below and I will contact them to let them know.
Here is the post I had written before over-thinking got the best of me:
Here’s another sneaky catch up on a blogger nomination form!
The wonderful Jen at BeautyLifeMom has nominated me (waaay, back in
November) for the “Blogger Recognition Award” and this is me finally getting
round to doing it. Thank you to Jen for said nomination! You can find Jen’s
blog here.
The rules of this
post are as follows:
Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you and provide a link to
their blog.
Write a post to show your award.
Give a brief story of how your blog started.
Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.
Select 15 other bloggers for this award
Comment on each blog to let them know you nominated them and
link to the post you created.
How My Blog
Started:
I’ve mentioned this a few times as part of the requirements
for other nomination forms but basically I started this blog about 7 years ago
(nearly 8 now) and forgot about it. At the start of last year I remembered that
I had this blog/name and decided to change hosts in April of 2017 as I wanted
to be taken seriously with my posts about mental health and since then my
passion for blogging has been refuelled. I started putting out more posts from
the end of June and from there have watched my blog grow to all that it is
right now. I’ve had several blog over the last 14 years but this one is by far
my favourite.
Two Pieces of
Advice for New Bloggers:
1. Write about what you know. If you are passionate about
something (for me it’s sharing the mental health information that I have been
provided with over the years as part of treatment sessions) then you will never
be short of what to write about.
2. Interact with other bloggers/your followers (they don’t
have to be of the same blog genre as you) and create your own network of
blogger friends. Not only does it help you make new friends but you can also
support each other – something that is really important to have. If your
followers see you as a nice person they’re more likely to keep following you
and will interact back.
Remember to leave you nominations below!

Awesome! Glad you could do the tag! I feel the same way about these types of posts- I don’t want to tag anyone cause I don’t want to be a nag or make anyone feel obligated but I’m glad you did it! Totally with you when it comes to writing what you know about and interaction. It makes a difference in how long you keep up with it and keeps you motivated for sure! Glad to learn a little more about you through this! XX Jen beautylifemom.com
ReplyDeleteI'm just sorry that it took me so long to post it! Life/other things took over and tbh I've not really felt that great but it is here; I've finally done it!
