Hello friends~ Welcome back to another episode of 'Cute, Kind Of'! Today, we are celebrating CKO's first birthday and you guys were going to be invited to the huge birthday party, but then miss rona came :(
With that being said, today I wanted to reflect on eight years of beauty blogging. Like I said in the episode — by the title of it, you can probably tell that this seems very um...sad? Is that the right word? But trust me when I say that it is the opposite as I go into depth why I felt like a failure but in reality, running the blog for almost a decade was one of the best things I could have done for myself.
All in all, I hope if you or someone you know is on the fence on whether or not to start a blog, Instagram, YouTube, etc., this will be the encouragement you need to do so. Also, hopefully, the tips and advice I give are beneficial in creating long-term skills and development.
With that being said, early Eid Mubarak to you, your family and friends! Just like last week's episode, I will be linking charities below to donate to or share, if you can.
Listen to "#20: How to start a blog...from someone who kinda failed (lol)" on Spreaker.
