Why I Decided To Become A Blogger

September 11, 2019 Lifestyle

Hey guys!

 

It’s been a year since I’ve purchased my blog domain and everything else that comes with it. I honestly never did think I would become a blogger. During the Spring of 2018, I became inspired or gifted to start my own blog. I begin reaching out to those around me who knew any and everything about websites and everything else because I was clueless. In school, I always loved writing and doing paper assignments. I was the student who never complained or had a problem with doing research. At the same time, I’ve always had a love for fashion and styling clothes.

At the time I decided to become a blogger, I was going through a breakup. At that moment, I learned so much about myself and begin loving myself for who I was regardless of how I looked or even felt. That feeling felt good and I wanted to share that with other women so they can feel that way as well. Also at the time, I had recently lost my grandmother. When I purchased my blog, it was exactly a month after her death and I decided to do something in memory of her. I actually have a part of my blog dedicated to my late grandmother. You can check it out here.

 

 

I become a blogger to influence, inspire, motivate and share my spirit and personaility with other women. I believe women have the ability to be themselves no matter what size, color or personaility they have. Bloggers are influencers that influence the good and postiive in people. Influences inspire and guide people in a different and positive direction. Bloggers speak on various topics and platforms that range from travel, motherhood, fashion, lifestyle, beauty and many more topics.

After I became a blogger, I dealt with the obstacle of comparing myself to others and wanted to be where they were so bad, but I learned that eveything is a process. Blogging has a lot of responsiblity with planning and creating and keeping up with the latest trends. If you ever decide to begin blogging, do the research and have tons of patience!

I hope since I’ve shared with you why I decided to become a blogger that you look at bloggers and blogging differently than you did before. There are different blogging platforms that cater to different topics. Bloggers do not only chase after celebs, but many choose a different platform to create creative content for their readers and followers.

I encourage you to look at your local bloggers and see what they plan and create for fashion, lifestyle, beauty and even your city! Enocurage them and support them!

Happy Blogging and Happy creating loves!

Love, Gayla 💕

Instagram post 2186674508417818480_25029534 Are y’all ready for Thanksgiving? I mean it’s finally here! A holiday we’ve all waited for!!! I know you probably looking for a fresh outfit to just go in the living room. It’s cool! At first I was going to be as casual as can be. Like sweatpants, hair tied chillin with no make-up on casual, but my plans have totally changed and I gotta be dressed for the pictures and all. •
What are your plans for Thanksgiving? Do you have your outfit together? •

It’s day of 1 of Thanks! Today I’m thankful for Growth! Can I get an amen? AMEN! See without growth and the things that lead you up to forgiving and moving forward, growth is important to me! I am not the same person I was a year, a week, and even a day ago because of GROWTH! I’m proud that at 24 I have a mindset that sets me apart from others. Growth is when you let things go without having your normal reaction to it. Thank God for growth! #thankful •

Any areas of your life you’ve grown in? •
