Bria Lou Reviews

Hey Guys x Last year I missed it, so this year I made sure that I remembered to post for my blogiversary! I have been blogging for 4 years yesterday! I always talk about how unbelievable it is, but every year it reminds me how quickly time flies. When I first started blogging I was still in sixth form with university only a fleeting worry that I didn't need to think about because I still had over a year to go before starting. Now it's four years on, and I'm about to graduate! Blogging is a constant that has accompanied me through every point in my life for the last four years, whether I've blogged about it or not. There were points when I was blogging every day, and points where I didn't blog for a solid two weeks, but it didn't matter because the blog was always here, waiting for me. One thing I've done this year is completely changed my blog design and given it a bit of a revamp. My content mainly consists of reviews with the occasional random...

Hey Guys x I have to start this post with a massive apology, from and to myself. My third blogiversary was in April, and I completely missed it. It's weird and sad to think that it didn't even cross my mind for a split second that month, it completely escaped me. I have no idea why. I didn't post a lot in April anyway, I think maybe about 5 times. In fact, this whole year hasn't been great in terms of blogging. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things now, but I can't say it's easy. Sometimes blogging feels pointless, and other times it feels like the best thing in the world. I'm trying to find that healthy balance. However, no matter how many times I've posted this year, it's still my third year of blogging, and that should definitely be celebrated! I've managed to keep blogging for three years, which is amazing, if I do say so myself. It's without a doubt my longest-running hobby and I still love it, despite fall...

Hey Guys x This has completely crept up on me - but today is my blog's second anniversary (or blogiversary) and I am just so happy! I have been blogging for two years! When I started, I never thought that I would make it this far or be blogging for this long! I mean, I always say this, but I definitely thought that I would have gotten bored and found another 50 hobbies to keep my mind occupied day in and day out. But no, blogging has been my constant thing - the thing that can still get me really excited, and the thing that I'm constantly writing down notes and ideas for, and I'm so grateful that I found it when I did! Something I've been really excited to do is to compare this blogiversary to the last one. When I had been blogging for a year, I had just shy of 18,000 pageviews - which was amazing! I now have close to 55,000 views - and I can't even fathom it! You guys have clicked on my blog and read one of my posts close to 55 THOUSAND times! That...

  I can't believe I'm saying this. Today, as you read this, on April 26th 2015, it is my blog's one year anniversary! That is freaking mental! Seriously crazy! It doesn't even feel like I've been blogging for that long, but in the same way, it feels like I've never not been blogging. I honestly can't remember what my favourite hobby was before blogging came along. I had just got into YouTube, but I never took to any of my hobbies like I've taken to blogging. I went into blogging completely blind. I did not have any friends who blogged and I didn't know what to blog about. The name 'Lou's World' was an instant thing, I had always imagined having a brand (of anything) and calling it 'Lou's World', because it just means a lot to me. Something funny about when I started my blog is that, on the first day of blogging, I posted 4 times! The posts were: Being You , Friendships , Divergent Review and Exam Pressure ...
