Delve Into Me: A Close Look At The Bloggers You Love (004)

I had the great honor of interviewing Lauren G from Pretty Things And Polka Dots! Enjoy. :)



+ + +

Please introduce yourself, and tell us a little bit more about you and your blog.

Hi! I'm Lauren and I have a little part of the internet called Pretty Things And Polka Dots. I write about beauty, photography and any topics that I am interested in. I am Welsh, fourteen years old and enjoy the simple things in life :)


When did you start your blogging journey and why?

I started my blogging journey nearly a year ago now (the 23rd of April is it's one year birthday!) I began blogging because I loved the idea of meeting people from all parts of the world. I also enjoy writing very much and the idea of sharing my views and opinions with people who were interested in similar topics seemed very appealing.


What's the most challenging aspect of blogging for you?

I think the most challenging aspect would have to be posting regularly. As much as I love blogging, it can be really hard to prioritise with increasing school work and other hobbies that go on in the week.


Do you have any blogging rituals (like following a strict schedule or making sure to procrastinate by going on Pinterest first, etc.)?

Hmm... Not necessarily, but I do like to search through pinterest when I am stuck for ideas. I feel like this can really help spark inspiration, I also do like to have a glass of water or some chocolate to munch on whilst I type away, I am a over of food!


What's your number one blogging tip?

I would say don't expect lots of followers at once. I think some people can go into blogging expecting fame and money, and if you don't do it because you enjoy it, then you're doing it for the wrong reasons.


Besides blogging, what other hobbies to you enjoy participating in? Which are you most passionate about?

I love music. I play piano and adore classical pieces such as fur elise and clair de lune. I'm also in a band in my school, in which we compose songs and generally just make music. I also love photography, I have recently purchased an SLR Canon 1200D which I now take everywhere with me and snap away! I like the fact that you can save a moment forever and look at it in the future, I'm a person who goes through albums just to reminisce about the past, nostalgia is the best.


(Due to the title of my blog, I feel like I should ask:) Do you feel like you know yourself?

I would like to think so, but I think I still have more to discover due to my age. There are so many things I have not experienced, and I reckon that the things that adulthood bring, such as moving out and fending for yourself properly will cause me to discover myself more.

May I ask for your [honest] opinion?

via Alrighty. I recently just completed my one hundredth blog design order [insert celebratory balloons, glitter cannons, and thrown pies here]. ;} And I was talking to my mother about this in the car, to and from the store. Basically, what she said was; "You've been doing your designs for a long time, right? So why don't you start charging for your services?" This got me thinking, and in my eyes, I feel as though charging for my designs would probably make me feel like I'm getting cocky, and too proud of my work, yah know? But I wanted to ask you guys, my honest readers; do YOU think my services are worth spending money on? Like seriously. If you wanted a new design would you choose me, even if it cost you ten dollars? I know most of it is just a matter of opinion. Every designer has their own way of doing things. Their own unique style. It all depends on what the "order-er" wants. I'd like to know if I have the capabilities of giving s...

I have so many ideas, and so little time...

Well. I've created a writers group, so I can check that off my list of dream tasks (huzzah!) but now that I've completed one task, I've come to reveal that I have a whole other bunch of ideas to set upon making real, as well. I want to--oh so badly want to--create a writers support group, in the form of a collaboration blog. Mackenzie and I had considered doing this, but since we haven't talked much lately, I guess... Well, maybe there are some volunteers out there who would like to help me make this idea come to life? Hm? If not, it's alright, I may have to postpone this dream for a (small) while anyway because I am very busy grooming other dreams. Like... + My writers group. As mentioned previously, this group is to help me prepare my manuscript for publication, but is very much still in the "forming phase". + ( The research of) Getting my book(s) published . Gosh guys, this is going to be a lot harder than I thought (did you know an author must...

Guest Post by Bethan

Hey there! It's Bethan from Think. Read. Write. Dream. The beautiful Rose was kind enough to let me guest post on her amazing blog - which is such an honour! I'll start with a little about myself. :) I'm 14 years old, with curly brown hair, eyes that don't really have a specific colour and very pale skin. I'm also really small... I'm right-handed, a bit socially awkward, a perfectionist and a tiny bit crazy. I am a Christian that loves reading, writing, blogging and drawing. I've wanted to be a writer since I was really young and am always daydreaming. I love to play the piano, and have just passed my Grade 4 exam. If you enjoy this guest post, you can head over to my blog where I post book hauls, occasional tags and awards, quite a few of my writings and a little bit of randomness (okay.. a lot of randomness.) Here's a little taste of my writings. I hope you enjoy. :) The sky is dark with grey clouds and I hear a faint rumbling coming from abo...
