Blogger Behind the Blog {Glossytots}
Here’s this week’s instalment of Blogger Behind the Blog where I interview a blogger all about their reasons for blogging and what it means to them. This week I’m joined by Faye from Glossytots.
Here’s Faye with more about why she blogs:
Where did your blog name come from?
I had an obsession with glossyboxes and I wanted my blog to be about beauty and parenting so Glossytots was born!
When did you start your blog and why?
Around two years ago when I had just become a single mum and needed to vent.
What did you do before you blogged?
Not a lot apart from be a mummy!
What was your first post?
Terrible twos! The ranting began!
What inspires you to blog?
The need to help people weather it’s reviews or stuff people won’t say aloud!
What post has had the best response, which post are you most proud of and which post did you enjoy writing the most?
Best response and most proud of was PCOS the truth about Polycystic ovaries. I had so many people reach out and thank me for the info and giving them hope! I enjoy writing my more comedy posts and sharing wicked Wednesday pictures!
Have any of your posts not had the response that you expected?
Yes! The post about too much info on pregnancy, labour and being a parent! I thought I was being funny… Obvs not!
