I've learned that being earnest is what matters most in connecting with other blogs and writers... and if people don't necessarily enjoy every type of post I write they can just skip over them right? I like that you mix it up on your site and enjoy when you throw in some home decor in there too!

It's true, people aren't only interested in one topic! When I think about my favourite blogs, you're right, they do touch on a variety of topics which is what keeps them fresh. I hope that my readers stick with me as I navigate through my writing mojo. Thanks so much for your encouragement Erica, it means a lot! [PS I love those gifs too!! hehe...

You always ...Thanks for the words of advice Alison. You always offer such kind words of encouragement. I guess the hardest part for me is trusting that readers will find me and come back for more, despite not advertising on any sites and essentially starting my blog from scratch. For the record, I love your style posts and I've also thoroughly enjoyed your "deeper" posts, like what you wrote when you turned 40. I think you've done a great job of mixing up lighter posts with heavier topics!Danielle @ The-Lifestyle-Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01694352707386909805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153019921124755343.post-59423480984337183712013-10-25T11:16:40.206-04:002013-10-25T11:16:40.206-04:00Haha I totally get this post.

A lot of times I think I could probably get more readers if I stuck with a specific category, but I have way too many interests to do that, you know? Anyway, I like the things you write about, so stick with them!

But for what it's worth, I don't think you need to narrow it down at all if you don't want to. Your readers (like me) don't think of only fashion 24/7, or only cosmetics, we all have a variety of interests and the best thing about writing about them all is that you'll find readers that share a large number of those interests as well. I think that's why I gravitate toward 'lifestyle' blogging as well. It's very open, and I love that.<br /><br />I like this post, and I like the rambling, and I fricking love those GIFs.

Most bloggers worry too much about what other people want instead of just doing what they want. You have to trust that your readers will find you if you just do what you do. I struggle with the depth of my posts. There are big, thought provoking ideas that I get but don't know how to tie into style. So I usually leave them on the table. I admire that you're delving into this area. Alison @ Get Your Pretty Onhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18304386299393380146noreply@blogger.com
