Why am I writing this blog ?

Happy Sunday lovely people who are taking the time to read this 😊

I wanted to write something to kind of address why I am doing zltblog and what I’m trying to achieve through doing it.

I’ve been feeling conflicted about what my focus should be over the past week, should it be fashion, disney, beauty, travel.... urgh, so many options. Fashion seemed like a good shout because I love trying different styles and find that fashion bloggers give me loads of inspiration for my style and outfit choices HOWEVER, as much as I absolutely LOVE fashion and I am literally addicted to scrolling through the new in section on my ASOS app and I’m pretty much on a first name basis with my ASOS delivery man at this stage. I need help… but that’s a whole other blog. I don’t tend to wear any new purchases for a few months, I don’t know why, I think I just like to save new outfits for occasions rather than just to do the food shop in or meet my pals for a coffee lolz. So because of this, I cant really represent the current fashion market, most of the time I will wear old outfits/clothing that I’ve had in my wardrobe over a year or even longer, so any outfit posts that I do will most likely feature items that are out of stock meaning it isn’t current or helpful for anyone looking for fashion inspo lets say (that’s me thinking I’m a fashion inspiration there). I also don’t have the time to be doing regular photo shoots (fancaaay) in new outfits because of my busy schedule working and living dat student nurse life so tend to just take photos of outfits when I’m actually going out somewhere. To be fair, I think that is pretty normal right? and what most of the population do lolz.

So, I think, it’s safe to say that although I want to feature fashion as an aspect of the blog, its not the right area to put all my focus on. The other options also seemed pretty limiting, i do love to travel but i don't do it enough to have a full blog about it- that would be the life ey?

Beauty is great but I tend to spend 80% of my time wearing a light layer of foundation because I work in healthcare and aint nobody got time for applying a full face of makeup for a 13 hour shift starting at 7am.

In all honesty, I just want to write about things that people will find interesting, whether that be about what I bought in the food shop, or Netflix series that I’m loving at the moment. My aim for this blog is to make it about real life depicting me and my lifestyle in an authentic way. My favourite types of blogs are usually ones I can relate to on a personal level that represent real and honest lifestyles. For example, I do my food ship at lidl because its cheap and I love the aisles full of random shit. I work a part time job and I’m a student so financially- it aint glamorous. I probably cook the same 6 meals in rotation for tea, I only buy expensive shoes when I can put them on my very account and pay them off monthly lolz (we all do it huns). I have flabby bits and cellulite, I like to work out but only a couple of times a week (any more than that would just be hell for me) and I do it from my laptop in the comfort of my own living room because I don’t live that close to any gyms and I would totally lose motivation whilst driving there and end up stopping for snacks instead lolz. I LOVE Disney with every fibre of my being, I’m obsessed with my two shih tzu’s, I love getting glam I’m a BIG family girl, I love going to the theatre especially to watch musicals and Beyoncé will always be my queen. I don’t go out drinking that much but when I do, I go HARD and by hard, I mean I drink more than I can handle and then proceed to DIE for the next 2 days, eating every single carb in sight.

Some FAB shots of me trying to create the perfect blogger photos and them ultimately turning out to be me just being me- this is the type of stuff I love and want to spread about!

That is a good description of aspects of my life and I’d like for zlt blog to be able to represent that and I think people would much more enjoy that sort of ‘stuff’ and be able to relate to it than me trying to show something that my life isn’t. Don’t get me wrong, there will still be candid photos (that are absolutely set up) making an appearance every now and then but that’s just because I’m a MASSIVE poser and bloody love it.

So yeah, what I’m trying to say is that, this blog will probably turn into whatever the hell it wants to be, it wont be focusing on a specified genre, its just going to be about my lifestyle in general of being a normal Yorkshire bird and I think by doing that It will provide some interesting reads about the type of shit I like and get up to, it’s not always going to be wacky and wonderful, there’s probably going to be boring posts about new snacks I’ve discovered, but hey, if that reaches even one person and gives them the crucial information that they too, need to try that snack, then I’ll be happy.

Over & out.
