Confessions of a Blogger

Last week Katelyn from Seersucker and Stripes tagged me in the post "confessions of a blogger".  I haven't been participating in any tag awards/posts lately, however, I really liked the idea behind this tag post.  For this tag post, the writer gives a little more info behind their blog and what inspires them to write.  I thought this would be very fitting since I really haven't given a full overview of my inspiration and why I started blogging! So here it goes :)

When did you first start blogging?

 I don't know the exact start date, but I know I started in June 2013!

Have you had any past online presence?

A few years ago I started an unsuccessful recipe tumblr account, but that is about it!

Why did you start a blog? 

For the longest time I read blogs and had been thinking about creating my own; finally I did!  When I created my blog I wanted my readers to be able to shop preppy fashion on a budget; even though my style may not be distinctly preppy, I still love to bring fashion on a budget to everyone :)

When did you become serious about starting a blog? 

As I said, I thought about it for a while before I started it, but I definitely take my blog seriously.  I have always been one of those people who takes every project as a "job", but blogging is the best job ever and I really hope I can do something great with it like Carly Heitlinger and Caitlin Coving! 

What was your first post? 

My first post was a little bit about myself and it was also my first "budget tip"! 

What has been your biggest challenge in blogging? 

So far, I haven't had too many challenges, but I definitely struggle with updating Twitter and Facebook.

What is the most rewarding thing about blogging?

Honestly, the connections I have made through this blog are amazing; I have so many friend and opportunities simply because I started blogging! 

The most discouraging? 

Throughout blogging I have learned that you can't please everyone, which is hard for me because I am definitely a "people pleaser"!

What is your lasting inspiration and motivation? 

The things that inspire and motivate me every day are my blogging buddies/readers, little inspirational quotes, and my blogging idols.  These three things always keep me motivated and inspired to write! 

I hope this helps you learn a little more about Prep on a Budget :)
