It’s my blog’s very first birthday today! I’m the happy mom of a one year old.
I believed it’d be fun to do a highlights of the year in review: [I started compiling this listing before I saw that WordPress released a 2015 year in evaluation report for every blog – exactly how neat! See below for a link to mine]
My many prominent messages (based on view counts) are:
Transitional Eye shadow Shades
I would have never in a million years guessed exactly how prominent that publish would be! The majority of the views of this publish is from google browse hits. I discover it fascinating that my top messages aren’t required the ones that have the most comments – it seems that random people are stumbling on my blog from search results.
MAC 137 long Blending Brush
It’s funny to me that my original 137 clean lemming publish was so prominent because it took me 5 minutes to compose it. I was at work as well as had gone to the MAC store during my lunch break as well as was pining for the clean so terribly that I made the post. bit did I understand that entry and the comply with up evaluation on the clean would show to be so popular. At one point when I googled “MAC 137”, my lemming post was the top result (which sucked since I was trying to discover evaluations on it before I made the purchase!)
Maybelline Concealer Comparison
I’ve come to recognize that a stamina of my blog is that I can do a great deal of comparisons because of my stash. I plan to continue to do comparisons in the upcoming year particularly of my eye shadows as well as blushes (and this is why I can’t purge as well numerous things! )
Cosmetics stock Spreadsheet
I was hoping this would be helpful to charm addicts everywhere, as well as I’m thankful it is! On typical I get emails a few times a month about this spreadsheet: for those of you who are emailing me to acquire gain access to to the spreadsheet, all you requirement to do is to save the file to your own computer in purchase to edit it.
MAC celebration Line lipstick
This publish had the distinction of being published on the day that I had the greatest view count, however it wasn’t because of this post’s subject matter.

She certainly contributed to the spike in views on that specific day.

I have a few blog goals for 2016:
• continue to enhance photography: with a much better backdrop as well as / or illumination as well as / or a new video camera – best now I actually drape a white fabric / Bristol board on a chair to take my photos. I’d like to have something much more “professional”. I’ve been wanting a new video camera for a while now – I currently utilize Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS – possibly something that has much better zoom / focus capabilities.
• upgrade to Premium: either with the premium WP plan or a paid WP style (I’m still uncertain of the benefits of a premium WP plan?), as well as I’d like to get my own domain. I won’t be self holding however I do like the concept of having flexibility to modification my design as well as add widgets as well as whatnot. I hope the process will be painless (any words of wisdom / guidance would be greatly appreciated!)
• engage brands: I had made a mindful effort to refrain from doing any type of evaluations in exchange for totally free products or brand partnerships in 2015. I was contacted however I declined them all – I just wasn’t sure of my thoughts on receiving free products for reviews. I’m a firm believer of reality as well as integrity in blogging – be it charm products, fashion, or food / restaurant reviews. In 2016 I’m thinking about contacting particular business or joining evaluation programs to select what I’d like to review. I may not have any type of success however it’s worth a shot!
• broaden topics: I’m still going to be 99% focused on charm however from day one, I always had the objective to include non-beauty topics such as fashion as well as crafts on the blog. I did dabble a bit last year in non-beauty topics however I mean to do a bit much more in the upcoming year.
• Be much more active on social media: I was a totalnoob to Instagram in early 2015 as well as I just produced a Facebook account recently. I have to make much more of an effort to utilize them on a regular basis – the blog will stay my main focus though. (By the way, right here are my social network links)
A significant say thanks to YOU to every as well as every one of you for stopping by the blog for a chat this past year. I’ve truly delighted in my bit corner of the blogosphere as well as hope to continue doing this up until it’s not fun anymore! If you have any type of requests or tips for the blog, please feel totally free to leave them in the comments!
You’ll want to come back to the blog tomorrow. Hint: giveaway time!
