Just over nine Months into blogging (And loving it!) I'm so happy how Love By Debs is coming along, Peoples support is overwhelming at times and I thank everyone for getting involved and interacting (even the silent supporters!) , It's great getting so many emails asking advice for different things and from people all over the World at that, and thousands of views daily, Which is crazy to me..!!! I'm learning everyday, It's really cool that as a blogger I'm growing and My audience is growing with me, One thing that is really important with blogging is the relationship you have with your readers, Basically so they can learn a bit about You, What You do and why your doing it, Now apologies for the delay in this post (nine months, but hey, better late than never..!) I've been holding back a bit to be honest because I look at other people and bloggers and they sound a bit self obsessed and that is something I never want to be seen as because main reason, If you knew me i'm so far off it...! But I've finally come to terms with the fact that bloggers have to write about their life and whats happening don't they..? So from now on along with the usual posts of fashion/Beauty and my little rambles from time to time I'll be giving little updates of what's going on :-) like a little diary and I don't like over doing it with too many pictures of myself either (I'm not a camera lover) so if you do want to see more pictures follow me on instagram @lovebydebsblog
So anyway back to where it all began.........
Do you remember as a child, the atmosphere in the house when your mother/auntie/sister was getting ready for a night out, The excitement in the air, Music on, A bed full of clothes an awful smell of perfume and enough make up scattered around the room to glam up a drag show, Well this is when My love/slight obsession for fashion and beauty began.....
Many Saturday nights I'd spend watching my Sister get ready, Telling her what looks good and helping out with the perfect arrangement of her outfits or making it my business to take a trip out to my eldest sisters house messing up her make up bag, They would both tell you from a very young age I loved 'borrowing' there stuff (Love You both!) and even back then my favorite event was a trip to the shops because of course being the youngest of five I always got a new item to my wardrobe, the latest barbie or if I was really good and didn't show my Mam a sneaky bit of make up..!!
I soon realized at the awkward age of 14 in order to feed my addiction I needed money, And to get money, I needed a job, One thing You should know... I'm a total chancer, So bearing that in mind I took myself into one of my favorite Highstreet stores, told a little white lie (You legally have to be 16 to work) and boom Debs got herself a job, I was delighted with my life, Freedom...! I even was such a little demon child (If your reading this Mam, I'm sorry!) that I'd skip off school early or not go into class at all to do a few extra hours work, More hours equals more pay which meant more clothes...
From there I've worked in a few highstreet stores doing a bit of merchandising, Which I loved, Gone onto Qualify in hairdressing, I have a qualification in psychology and addiction (which was very interesting) and currently I'm a part skin specialist, part brow technician (sounds fancy doesn't it haha) I'm specializing in HD Brows and skincare almost two years now and then nine months ago I became a blogger too :-) which really is a combination of everything I've done in my life so far, and I really do love it, And at the moment Yes it's very time consuming and No I don't get anything 'out of it' as people keep asking me..It's my baby, I'm just doing something I love and it's worth every stressful minute when I get a thank you for helping out with something or a message from someone saying one of my posts gave them of a lift or encouraged them to do something..!!
From my first ever post 'popping my cherry'
http://lovebydebs.blogspot.ie/2013/02/popping-my-cherry.html
I said that I wanted the blog to be enjoyed and to create something positive (The world of Women can be quite a bitchy one) I still get that feeling 'ooooh should I be doing this..' But I always remember my friend Casey saying to me before I started, just to do my thing and focus on the positive majority of people not the negative minority and thats what I'm doing..!!
So what now..? Well I'm always coming up with new ideas and things to do with the blog, All I'm saying is I'll be working my ass off to make it bigger and better and I hope you enjoy what the future has in store :-) it's great to be able to do this,
Remember as Women We are all in the same boat, We all have our insecurities, Men annoying us and just daily hormones haha so it's nice to have something that We can all share Our love for fashion beauty and all things fabulous on and that's what Love By Debs is about :-)
All My Love And Positive vibes,
Debs xXx
