I totally get what you mean- a lot of people think we're either blogging because we love to talk about ourselves, or because we're in it for the money. I actually got asked the other day what was the point in me doing it if I wasn't going to make a huge pile of money from it? Crazy. Nobody seems to understand how much work we put into them, and also just how much we actually learn from it! <br /><br />Lauren | <a href="http://laurenthedaydreamer.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Lauren the Daydreamer</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13729478958277701900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462939883317828931.post-7158824534061755152017-05-21T16:48:54.577+01:002017-05-21T16:48:54.577+01:00That's good that you don't think about it ...That's good that you don't think about it too much - I'm definitely an over thinker! xxCall Me Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004291410985059850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462939883317828931.post-59771058318768492872017-05-21T16:48:30.428+01:002017-05-21T16:48:30.428+01:00Aw no Lucy you definitely shouldn't have felt ...Aw no Lucy you definitely shouldn't have felt embarrassed!

I think of blogging as my own personal space and journal so don't really think too much about what others think about it really. I try to keep my topics light and happy, and love connecting with fellow bloggers who I now class as friends. I wouldn't have it any other way really. <br /><br />Steph xx<br /><br />Steph’s World | Lifestyle Blog | www.stephsworld.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16288112615489736886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462939883317828931.post-89831015718455846412017-05-20T17:27:53.342+01:002017-05-20T17:27:53.342+01:00Amy like you I worry too much what people think, a...Amy like you I worry too much what people think, and when I mentioned to someone I have a blog they said "oh... who doesn't" and rolled their eyes. I contemplated deleting my blog... I feel ashamed and embarrassed and felt like a sheep, but then I remembered WHY I started blogging... (apart from boring James with talking about makeup) I wanted to connect with like minded people, and I don't regret it for a second, not only do I get off my chest my loves for beauty I have met a bunch of bloggers I thoroughly enjoy chatting to and care about... and absolutely love their content that they share. Its ok for outsiders to think what they want... they just don't get :) xxxxxxxx<br /><br />lucylovesbeautyxo.comlucylovesbeautyxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966094868606777943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462939883317828931.post-20834161456853870302017-05-19T22:03:59.884+01:002017-05-19T22:03:59.884+01:00Ahh I can understand why it may seem that way on t...Ahh I can understand why it may seem that way on the surface to others, but personally, I think blogging attracts the creatives - those who love to create and appreciate the beautiful, you know? :) Very interesting post as always Amy!<br /><br />Gabrielle | <a href="http://aglassofice.com" rel="nofollow">A Glass Of Ice </a> | <a href="http://www.aglassofice.com/2017/05/nars-spring-beauty-giveaway-open.html" rel="nofollow">Worldwide NARS Beauty Giveaway </a>xGabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134097147064320792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462939883317828931.post-90419948317943971382017-05-19T19:10:21.002+01:002017-05-19T19:10:21.002+01:00I don't think bloggers are shallow at all!
