How I started my blog…

I’m going to have to thank Instagram for this one. My blog is inspired by Instagram because that is the social media outlet I used to post my nail art designs and outfits. Also, my friend encouraged me to first do a YouTube channel and when I was iffy about that, the next move was to start a blog. I took that advice and just went with it. I had my friends and family vote on a blog name that night and we tweaked it and came up with Styled with Joy — I love it because of its double meaning. I’m so glad I have a place to share my interests in the beauty and fashion world via my blog.

My advice to new bloggers…

-Don’t be shy — Talk to people. The blogosphere is a very friendly and encouraging place.
-Pick a topic/theme and stick with it until it doesn’t feel right. For example, I started out doing only nails and makeup reviews and now I have expanded my topics to makeup tutorials, OOTDs and lifestyle posts. I liked that I grew my blog very gradually, rather than all at once.
-Advice I’ve gotten from bloggers when I first started posting: Always be true to yourself. Be honest about what you write about — it will show and people will notice.

  7. Congrats! I think it’s so sweet that your family voted on your blog name! If I did that, I think my blog would be called “Hoarders Anonymous Needs Serious Help” LOL.
    I agree about shifting blog topics if you feel like it – because none of us are 1 dimensional creatures, our lives evolve and grow. I mean, next year I won’t be so much about No-Buy and I’ll probably inject some non-makeup stuff like crafting. It’s a reflection of where we are in our lives. 🙂
    I’m so glad you started a blog or else we would have never “met”. 😀 Thanks for the nom – I’ll be doing this one soon.
