This Blog has been fun… But Goodbye

I've had an amazing year and a half working on http://www.thoughtsfromjasmine.wordpress.com, but it's about time that I said goodbye... And HELLO TO MY NEW SELF HOSTED SITE!!!  I've been debating it for a long while, but now that I'm generating somewhat of an income through my blog, and I'm aware of what my future potential could be …

Home for the Summer (Kinda…)

So I finished my exams, I handed in that last killer essay, gruellingly packed up my room and headed back to London for the summer... Time for relaxation and the long-awaited joy of staying in one place, right?  Nope, not at all.   As I mentioned in my post about my summer worries, I applied for a lot …

Reading Again & Nailing the Narrative…

As you may know if you've read any of my uni-related posts, I study English Literature and Philosophy.  Which means, due to the English Literature side, I never really stop reading.  I have been up to my nose in reading lists stretching from Shakespeare to Samuel Beckett since I've started, and honestly, I've never enjoyed reading less.   I …

Am I Ashamed of my Blog?

I have been blogging for almost a year and a half now.  In that time I have gained 3800 followers, now regularly attend events and have collaborated with a variety of amazing brands.  People read my words, and they stick around to read more of them.  I literally grew this whole thing from nothing in …

What Happens Now?

I would apologise for the inconsistency of my blog posts, but I feel like I've done that about 3 times already, and I'm trying to be less hard on myself.  I'm spread very thin and I have exams and so, the truth is, until my exams are over on May 22nd, I'm going to post inconsistently.  However, I …

The “Instagram Blogger”

I've mentioned countless times that when I was blogging I was completely clueless about the whole ordeal.  I didn't know that bloggers were being paid for things, I didn't realise that blogging took off in the same way that YouTube did... I simply saw a website where I could write, because writing has been the passion that I stuck …

This Time Next Year… Updated

It's amazing how so much can change in a year.  A year ago my blog was about 3 months old, I was coming back from Uni for a sixth form reunion, and, although I was beginning my whole "self-growth" journey, I was in no way as solid as I am now.  A year and 2 days ago, …

The Versatile Blogger Award

I'm back with another award post because some really lovely people have been nominating me, and I've been very behind on responding to them, so sorry about that...  However, I'm here now and I'm excited to sit down and write this, and I am incredibly grateful for Mary from Mary Chronicles for nominating me, as she's an …

The Sunshine Blogger Award: Double Edition

So I'm back with another award post, because Life Got me Like and Hannah Jarvis both nominated me for the Sunshine Blogger Award!  Thank you so much to both of you, I honestly really appreciate it, and I know that I'm a bit late responding to your nominations, but as I wrote in my last post, my …

The 73 Questions Challenge

I haven't done a tag post in absolutely ages, and it's been a while since I've answered a bunch of questions on here, so when Kate Hawkins tagged me in the 73 Questions Challenge I figured why not give it a go?  The aim of the game is to answer as many of the questions as you …
