Paperblanks Notebooks*

Hey Everyone!

I hope the snow isn't too bad for everyone! It is such a pain as I have 3 exams next week one of which is on Tuesday and I am extremely worried I will miss it which means I will have to take the exam alongside all my others in July :( But anyway on a cheerier note I was contacted last week asking if I would like to review a Paperblanks notebook, for blogging notes.

I jumped at the chance because my friend absolutely loves these notebooks and has about 3 and so I thought I would love to try one for myself! I have been wanting a blogging notebook for AGES because I need to get myself into a better routine of when to post and with all my exams I think having a notebook will help to keep my organised.

So here is the design I chose:

I absolutely love it and cannot wait to start writing all my notes in it!

I think these notebooks are absolutely beautiful and they have so many different designs. I think these would make great gifts, and I think I will get my Mum one of these because since this came through the post my Mum has been desperate to get this off me!

There are so many different cover designs, and type of book designs. There are journals, day planners, address books and more!

My Year Blogging Tag

Hi Everyone!

Sorry about the lack of blog posts, but I am currently without a laptop because mine broke which is an absolute pain and that is why my last two posts haven't been set out very well because I have been using the Blogger app on IPhone. I have finally got access to a computer, and I thought that since it is now officially 2013!(Crazy how time flies!) I would do My Year Blogging Tag, which I just saw on Ally's blog, which you can find here.

Firstly, I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Now onto the tag.

Has blogging changed you?

Yes! Definitely, 2012 was my first year of blogging, I finally decided that I really wanted a blog after having read loads of other people's lovely blogs, and being too much of a chicken to do Youtube, I decided I should start a blog, and I have not looked back ever since! I absolutely love reading other people's opinions on products etc. on blogs, and I have really enjoyed saying what I think too! It has made me a lot happier having a blog because I can talk to people with the same interests as me, and I have made some great friends that I talk to regularly. I have also learned a lot about how to write posts that interest people and how to set posts out etc. which has definitely helped me a lot with my 2 English GCSE's.

How many posts did you write in 2012?

I started blogging in June 2012, and since then I have written 107 posts! This will be my 108th. I am going to try and get a blogging schedule this year so I can fit it around exams, but still blog regularly enough. 

What post are you most proud of?

I think probably my Sleek Contour Kit Review, which has managed to get 711 views, and is my second most read post after my 150 follower MAC giveaway!

What do you hope your blog is like in 2013?

I hope to be able to post more regularly and maybe start up a series of posts, so if you have any suggestions let me know! I would also like to finally settle on a structure for my reviews, and I would like to continue to meet new people, and hopefully gain some new followers!

I would love to say a massive thankyou to everyone, this has been my first year of blogging and I have enjoyed it so much. I have met some amazing people, and I would like to carry on meeting even more wonderful people. Thankyou to all my followers aswell! I never expected 359 people to want to read my rambling! I still remember getting to 50 and being completely shocked so thankyou so much!

What has been your favourite part of 2012?
