2015 Blogging Resolutions // Update!

It's kinda funny going back and reading that post cus at the time I wrote my resolutions, I had no idea I was developing a chronic illness. Here are the things I wanted to do blog-wise in 2015!

PHOTOGRAPHY

I started to really enjoy photography last year and with practice, I've only found myself loving it more this year! Instagram is a fun outlet and I've found that trying to update it daily pushes me to take more photos & improve. I can say I definitely put a lot more effort in now but obviously it's still a work in progress!

POST SCHEDULE

I wanted to try posting 2-4 times a week, which at the time was pretty ambitious for me so I can't believe I've found myself putting up 4-6 posts some weeks! I still don't have a set schedule but that's something I'm trying to figure out. How often do you think is best?

I'm also pretty proud of the fact I've kept up with my Weekly Reflect series every Sunday this year!

FAVOURITES

I've also kept to my aim of doing monthly favourites - I've also recently started filming them for my channel too! It's interesting to look back on them because it instantly takes you back to the memory of that month. Keeping a whiteboard and jotting things down on it throughout the month definitely makes it easier to keep a track of favourites!

YOUTUBE

Youtube! I've wanted to do it for years and finally bit the bullet at the end of last year. Having a channel and making videos is a really fun process but I have to admit, it can be difficult to juggle it as well as a blog at times. Add my chronic fatigue syndrome into the mix and consistency is a struggle! For now this blog remains my priority but making a video every now and then is cool. I'd like to be able to say I have a proper upload schedule by the end of the year though!


OUTFITS

My OOTD posts are few and far between at the minute - woops! Truth be told, it's because I'm in pyjama's most of the time . . . and when hen I do get dressed, I don't really feel like my outfits are anything worth sharing. Maybe doing this update is the kick up the bum I needed to make more of an effort with my outfits!

MEET UPS/EVENTS

I went to my first blogger event in May! It was an evening with some lovely local bloggers & The Publicity Loft to chat about lots of different beauty brands (see post here) and it was brilliant. I have been invited to a couple of other events before and after but I've had to turn them down because of my illness or due the fact they're in London! Hopefully by the time 2015 is over I'll be able to say I attended some more meet ups/events!


COMMENT/SHARE

I love supporting other bloggers and think it's such an important thing to do. I'm definitely commenting a lot more on blogs these days rather than just leaving a page once I've read it! By way of sharing, I do like to retweet other blogger's posts on Twitter but I could always try doing that more often. My Bloggers I Love post & Youtubers I Love video were two things I loved creating and I hope to do more of those in the future!


It's still a possibility and who knows, I might even do Vlogtober/Vlogmas!

Well I hope you enjoyed this post - I can't wait to look back on this post in 6 months time and see what's changed! Get involved in the comments below and let me know if you made any blogging resolutions this year and how you're getting on with them. It's never too late in the year to make some if you'd like to!

What are your blogging achievements so far this year?

Thanks for reading,

Maeve
