12 Things Bloggers Do - The Blogger Traits.

8/19/2016

57 Comments

Whether you've been blogging for 6 days or 6 years, there are some things we can't deny we all do, things that  "non-bloggers" would look at us like we're completely deluded..
​ It comes with the title, and just know, it's okay! 

"We know you did it, we know"

1. Brought Fresh Flowers just for an blog/Instagram picture, it sounds extreme, but you can't deny it - we know you did it. We know.

2. Sit refreshing you notifications on Instagram, waiting for the likes to roll in...... oh, come on.

3. Only fake tanned the parts of your body you can see, nobody's got time for that.

​4. Brought every single planner/organizer, to do list note pad, pretty pencils, post it notes, a pin board and 15 different diary's, but are still no closer to being organised. Hey, at least they make good photo props!
Picture
5. Asked Friends/Colleges/Partners to wait until you've got the perfect shot before they can tuck into their cocktails or food.
Damn David, waiting 5 more minutes won't hurt you, give a girl a break.

6. Deleted your Snapchat selfie thinking you can definitely get a better one, 10 photos later realising you should have probably kept that first one. If only there was an "un-do" option.
​
7. Telling yourself over and over again you shouldn't care what people think when you're moving around the cutlery, drinks and food on your table to get the perfect picture, when really you're constantly peering over your shoulder to see if anyone is looking.
Picture

" *Claps Hands Together Frantically Again* "

8. Clapping your hands, jumping up & down, and woooooop-ing when an exciting e-mail hits your inbox, but then calming down and replying to the PR as if your cool as a cucumber & get these kind of requests all the time. *claps hands together frantically again"

9. Getting nervous about meeting fellow bloggers you have only spoken to online, praying they don't realise you don't look anywhere near as good as your Instagram pictures or the Snapchat filter with the golden crown. Oh, what I'd do to have that filter in my life 24/7.
​
10. Sat staring at your ASOS saved items list, convincing yourself those shoes would look great in a blog post, so technically you'd be buying them for work purposes? Oh go you, you're so dedicated to the job. Might as well add that mascara and necklace to the bag to, because whats the point of ordering just one thing? Multi-tasking queen!

11. Going waaaaay out of you way to head to a certain lunch spot, simply because you've heard they have marble tables. Then ordering the Avo-toast and a coffee, because could you get anymore Instagram?

12. Reading other blogs, deciding yours is awful,you might as well give up & forget that the idea ever existed. Followed by a serious ice-cream binge and a 4 marathon deep Kardashians spurge. Before getting back right into blogging the next day, obviously

Which points are you guilty of? I would love to hear. Also let me know what other traits you have - I love knowing I'm not the only crazy one here!

I actually don't do number 3 - I always fake tan ALL over every time as I like to always be brown and hate seeing any white skin, BUT you got me on everything else!! I did LOL reading it. So very true! I love these sorts of posts too - more please!! xx

This is a brilliant post and yes, I'm pretty much guilty of almost all of them (writing that while staring at my tanned legs aka the only part ☺). And taking photos in restaurants, hmmnm, yes, while our food almost gets cold.

I am guilty of a ton of these but probably the food ones the most. I have trained everyone pretty well at this point not to touch their food until the camera has made it around the table. Sometimes they even ask on the way to a restaurant "is this a blog post?" so they can mentally prepare. Lol

Hilarious! I can definitely relate to the buying flowers, planners and instagramming everyone's food (especially when they ordered a better looking meal than mine!

number 9 is too real! When I travel and I know I'll have some free time I always try to hook up with a local blogger to show me the good parts of town but it's so awkward asking if people want to hang out with a total stranger. I'm headed to Seattle soon so I'm praying I'll have luck there!

I may or may not have done all of these (if you believe what ya hear 😉) except the tanning. Melanin kinda keeps me from needing to tan too much. I still love everything though.

Hey Georgie Number 12 is definately me as is number 9 . I think if I was mid 30's rather than mid 50's I would probably be guilty of most of them.

I love this! I relate to so many of them. I have bought flowers, both fresh and fake, to use as photo props. And I have bought quite a lot of new clothes (which I was in need of, or at least that's what I tell myself) so that I look stylish in my Insta pictures!
