Hello there and welcome to my 'Champagne and Gossip' blog!
This is my first ever blog and i'm very excited to finally be entering the 'world of blogging' and writing about all the things that i enjoy doing. i think its best to let you know now that i'm a very spontaneous person, so one day i could be blogging about 'how to design the perfect pair of Swarovski earrings' and the next i could be sky diving! I can definately see a few of my blog posts being slightly weird and wonderful, but thats ok right?
I'm quite surprised in myself that i haven't started up a blog sooner because i study 'magazine journalism' and am almost in my final year, agghhh thats a scary thought!! So I think it's about time i get my butt into gear and hop onto the 'blogging' band wagon here.
A few of my close friends who have blogs find it shocking that i haven't already got a blog because they know how chatty i can be when i start talking so I feel that now is a great time for me to start as i'm off for 6 whole blissful months so i can blog and tweet away as much as i like... wahooo!
My friends have been really honest with me and said that blogging is like an addiction, as soon as you start, you wont be able to stop and in a way i'm really looking forward to that (as mad as it may seem) because i just love writing. Anyway, I think thats about enough baffling from me, lets talk about something that has completely altered my perspective of life and made me think seriously about taking up blogging as something i WILL start. I attended this absolutely incredible 'Cosmopolitan blogging masterclass' event in London and was inspired so much by what the panel of speakers had to say. I figured that blogging was definately a route that i wanted to dive straight into and on my way home, I couldn't think about anything else other than firing up my laptop and blogging ASAP. The event gave me so much motivation and determination to work hard and I can't thank the editor of Cosmo enough for making me feel so valuable and important. I was extrememly lucky to have met Louise Court and if that wasn't enough, i actually went up on stage (with a little encouragement from my sister) and asked for a photograph with her, I must admit, i did feel a bit cheeky asking, but im so glad i did.
Louise Court has been my absolute idol for as long as i can remember and to have the opportunity to meet her was literally my dream come true. Growing up, i have always brought every issue and with a cuppa in one hand, cosmo always followed in the other! I absolutely worship the magazine because every issue encourages women to speak out about issues that they believe in, and that is something that i feel strongly about. The magazine makes you feel as if every woman has the right to an opinion and should be listened to, no matter how controversial the issue is and that is something amazing right?
The masterclass blogging event itself was absolutely amazing and I learnt so much from the panel of amazing speakers. I can't even begin to tell you how much it has motivated me to start blogging and actually try to get my voice heard and recognized out there in the ocean of many wonderful bloggers. (I hope you hear my voice!)
Lots of love,
