Hey, babes! I've decided to do something a new here on old Plump and Polished. Every so often, I'll be sharing a little bit about my life. I never intended for this to be only nail related posts. I know that's why most of you follow me and I greatly appreciate that, but I'm into so much more than that. Before I start to really get into this, please realize that I'm not a professional writer, and haven't really written much since college. I'm doing this for me (and any of you who actually read this.)
So, why Plump and Polished? Over two years ago when I trying to figure out the perfect blog name, I went round and round with different options. Alliteration always catchy and aesthetically pleasing. If you didn't know, I'm fat. Ha! Surprise!I really wanted body positivity to be a main focus here. I always like to look put together. If I'm not overdressed, I'm underdressed. Plump and Polished just seemed to fit.
I really want to make P&P a bit different this year. I keep saying I'm going to post for about fashion and makeup, but this has to actually happen. I've got some big plans for this little blog. If you'll listen, I'll post. I share a lot on Facebook and Instagram so why not here, right?
Here's what I plan on posting:
- nails (obviously)
- body positivity
- makeup reviews and tutorials
- fashion posts including hauls, wishlists, and outfit of the days
- beauty reviews and hauls
- personal updates
- question and answer posts generated by all of you
Is there anything you'd like to see? Do you have any questions for me?
I originally planned on this post to be a bit more profound, but I'm tired after a long day at work. Like I said at the beginning of the post, I'm by no means a profession writer so please don't judge. I've got the best of intentions. Promise!
I say bring it on. I love a mixture of all you are planning.
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome! I bet your 'off-topic' posts will be well received. I'm sure a lot of your readers follow you because of more than just nails. You don't hide behind behind nail pics like the rest of us.... you proudly stand up for who you are and what you believe in. I'm sure your readers will want more of that and are eager to hear more of your ideas and opinions! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love following you! I think it a great idea and you're a beautiful person inside and out ☺️
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing what you decide to share. So far, everything's been great.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see your makeup posts!
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley, I have to agree with all the other commenters here: we'd love to read more about you and your interests. I especially feel that the world needs more enlightenment on positive body image topics. There are no doubt many teen girls reading your blog and following you on social media, so just think of the beneficial effects you might have on that population before all the negative, appearance-judging gets too strong of a hold on them.
ReplyDeleteI love your makeup looks and you always have such cute outfits too! I like where you're heading this year :)
