Blogging Milestones!

-

Hey Guys x

I have hit a few blogging milestones in the past months.

First of all, I hit 200 blog posts. I did a post on this here and how much this meant to me personally, as someone who never normally sticks with one specific hobby.

Then, my views kept getting higher and higher. Currently, I have over 14,000 views, which is slightly overwhelming to fathom.

My blog link has been clicked on and viewed over 14,000 times! Even seeing how many views my posts get after being uploaded for 24 hours is completely amazing and really makes me happy. Not only the fact that I have written about something that I am passionate about, but the fact that you guys seem to get passionate about the things that I am passionate about is amazing!

And I love the fact that you enjoy reading my rambles and just spilling out whatever is in my head at whatever moments! So many of you guys have said that these are the posts of mine that you enjoy the most, so I will continue to ramble for a long time!

Next, I realised that I hit 600 comments. You can't see this because it's private for me to see, but obviously if you blog on blogger, you know that you can look at your 'overview' and see different things about your blog.

I logged on the other day to see that I had hit 600 comments. It is just amazing that so many people have taken to not only reading my posts, but to actually being bothered to comment their thoughts and opinions on it. That means a lot to me and I always encourage comments because to me, they are the only way to truly know that people like that you're doing.

Then comes the newest thing.

I am currently writing this on Sunday, although you're reading it on Monday because I'm uploading it tomorrow.

As of today, I hit 50 followers on Bloglovin' and 11 followers on google, bringing my blog to a total of 62 followers (although I think Bloglovin' is the best way to count followers).

With my blog, getting followers has never been the highest priority - views and comments are more important in terms of feedback.

But 50 freaking followers is amazing!!!

50 people deciding that they want to receive updates whenever I upload is just amazing to me and I actually kind of can't believe it!

I know that this may seem like nothing to you, but another thing about my blog is that gaining followers has been really slow. I have been waiting for so long to have a substantial amount of followers and have been trying not to compare myself to other people.

But hitting the milestone of 50 followers means more than the world to me.

I know that by the time you're reading this, I have probably lost followers and am on like 46 or something, but just hitting it in the first place makes me feel really happy about my blog, whether I keep that 50 or not.

So I just want to thank you for following, reading, commenting and sharing, if you've done any of those things.
I appreciate it more than you'll ever know and each of you mean the world to my, so thanks so much!

Thank you for reading!

Comment below a milestone that you hit, blogging or otherwise!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
