Goodbye Blogmas, Hello Christmas - Blogmas Day 24

So this is my little goodbye to Blogmas, and my blog until after Christmas. As todays post, I wanted to just talk about some things that Blogmas has taught me and talk about some plans.

I have officially successfully posted a blog post everyday for 24 days. Thats rather an achievement for me. During this process, I have learnt that I do have a big love for blogging. This time last year, I decided to make a blog, because I honestly didn't know what it was and I really wanted to try it out. Over the last year, I have enjoyed putting posts up, but I only rarely gone and sat down, wrote a post, taken the pictures and posted it. Blogmas has made me force myself to do it daily and I have loved it.

During December, I joined Bloglovin' and its something I would really recommend to any blogger who is trying to discover more bloggers and get a larger audience for their posts. I don't know why I didn't sign up earlier. I have loved reading everyone else's Blogmas Posts and seeing their ideas etc. Bloglovin' has encouraged me to write posts too.

I have also written a much wider variety of blog posts, from DIY's to Morning Routines. This has also made me decide that I want to do more of a variety of posts in 2015. So far, I have been a little too scared to try out some of these kind of posts, it was too out of my comfort zone. Now I know that I really want to try out more of a variety of posts and I can't wait to try more out.

Over December, I realised that I didn't want to rely on my instagram followers to give me views, I wanted people to choose to see my posts and to follow and enjoy them. Blogging throughout this month has made me realise that there are so many people who support my blog.

I also changed my url this month. Honestly, its not a favourite of mine but it will do. This meant having to go from 30 Bloglovin' followers to 0, but I can successfully say that I now have 10 followers now.

Its Christmas eve, and my Blogmas is coming to an end. I will be putting up a post explaining my proper plans throughout 2015, but I can confirm that I will be doing Blogmas next year. Its been such a fun experience that I wanted to do it all over again. I was also thinking of doing something similar for a month in Summer, but I don't know yet.

Expect a post from me soon, I'm obviously taking a break for Christmas, but I will have a few posts next week.

Merry Christmas!
