HAPPY 1st BLOG BIRTHDAY

The fact that my 1^st blog birthday is on Good Friday is such a blessing and has such a special meaning to me. I can not believe that it has been a year since I published my first ever blog post on 'brittneymathurin.com'. I can still remember talking to my friend Bonita (click here to check out her YouTube channel) telling her that I was creating a website and was going to start a blog soon.

But before I get into telling the short story of creating 'brittneymathuin.com', I just want to take some time and thank those closest to me that have continued to show support for my blog, and also to those of you who are reading this and have commented on my other blog posts telling me how much you enjoyed it and those that have followed me on my social media accounts as well as the entire blogging community, you all have contributed to the continuation of 'brittneymathurin.com', so once again a huge thank you.

Now that my thank you speech is over I shall now continue telling the story.

Setting up my blog was such a hard task because I did not have a clue as to what I was doing. I remember setting up my account on WordPress then transferring to Blogger then to WIX -which was the worst mistake of my life- and then back to Blogger. I remember coming home after college and sitting at my computer working and working on my blog's content, header and taking tons of pictures of the little makeup that I have. At that time, YouTube was my best friend but once I started setting up my blog's template, it became my sister, I watched videos that were hours long so that I could learn about SEO and HTML -which I still have not mastered by the way but I am okay with what I know so far. Looking at my blog today, I guess those long hours, hard work and determination paid off.

The first year of blogging included long breaks because of my lack of consistency, learning new things as well as visiting many new countries simply by reading other blogs. I am still trying to figure out my niche and still working on being as consistent as possible. What I have learnt is a blogger is someone who is a writer, photographer, website builder, social media marketer, socialite and the list goes on.

I do not know what I was doing with my life before I started blogging and I am so proud of myself for being brave enough to take the first step and simply start. It is honestly the best decision that I have ever made for myself. Thanks again for the love and support, I genuinely love you all!
