How did your passion for all things blog related start?

 

I read a lot of different blogs and followed bloggers through social media and it seemed like so much fun, to be able to write about things you love and meeting people who are likeminded.

Blog ¦ The Blogger behind... JordanCourtney

Hey Guys so today I've got the first post in my The blogger behind series. Today I'm talking to the lovely Jordan from Jordan Courtney. I hope you enjoy these posts, if your a blogger and are interested in getting involved leave me a comment with your email address and I'll get back to you!

 

 

My name is Jordan and I’m 20 years old (soon to be 21). I Live in England and I run the blog www.jordancourtney.co.uk which very simply is named after myself. I blog about a variety of things from food to beauty and even my personal life and anxiety.

 

5 interesting facts about yourself.

 These type of questions are always the hardest to answer I think! Definitely made harder by the fact I’m possibly the least interesting person ever.

1. I used to have my tongue pierced.

2. I‘ve only ever visited 3 countries.

3. I find it really hard to tell people ‘interesting’ things about myself.

4. I hate to sleep without socks!

5. I can’t actually swim.

 

A favourite memory

 My favourite 2015 memory has to be being invited to the #WrenFamilyFavourites event and meeting Linda Barker! I’m still in shock! My favourite all-time memory is probably when me and my family stayed in Anaheim for a few days when we went to America - we had Dennys every day for breakfast and Disney California Adventure was so amazing!

 

How did your passion for blog related things start? 

 When I first started my blog I was certain it was to only be about beauty. I was in the ‘I want to be a beauty blogger' mindset and this was inspired by all the lovely beauty bloggers I loved to read. However, as I settled into my blog I realised I had a passion for much more than that - I love the lifestyle posts as I like to have something personal to look back on and my food posts started from one recipe post which turned out well and got good feedback!

 

3 Favourite posts on your blog

In no particular order my three favourite posts have to be: 

Halloween: Cheesy Guacamole Lanterns - because of the photography (I really love the bright autumn colours) and the lovely feedback I got from the company! 

#WrenFamilyFavourites with Linda Barker - because I know this is a post I am going to look back on in the future and smile at the amazing opportunity.

Paris - because this is the post which started my blogging journey and I really love the images!

How long have you been blogging?

Technically, my first ever blog post was published 19th April 2014 but I didn’t actually get fully into blogging (i.e. being consistent etc) until December 2014.

 

What do you love most about blogging?

 I love the community! I love the Twitter interaction (for example in chats), I love the comments people leave on my posts and I love the events where you get to meet and chat to fellow bloggers.

 

Do you feel like the blogging scene has changed since you started?

 When I first started blogging I feel like it was only just coming out to be something that was seen as normal. Prior to this lots of people would laugh if you wrote a blog or made Youtube videos and you’d be called a weirdo. Recently it’s become more the norm and I love that.

 

Current most lusted after item?

  The Urban Decay ft. Gwen Stefani is top of my wish list at the moment! I am shocking at applying eyeshadow but this palette is just so gorgeous! I hate spending money on myself though.

 

3 Favourite bloggers

 Again, in no particular order, my 3 favourite bloggers have to be...

Rebecca - http://www.fromroses.co.uk/blog - I swear I’ve told her way too many times she probably thinks I’m so weird but I really do love everything about her blog!

Kathryn - http://www.chaptersofkat.co.uk - I don’t think I have ever read a blog post of Kathryn's and disliked it. Such a lovely genuine person too!

Becky - http://www.milkbubbletea.com - I’m not sure how I stumbled across Becky’s blog but I am sure it was one of the first I followed. Her photos are always so beautiful!

 

3 wishes for this year these could be personal or blog related

 I actually wrote a blog post on my 2016 goals as I’m hoping this will motivate me a bit more! This year I would love to be able to pay off my credit card, get a new job and then finally a blog related one, I would love to be able to reach a few social media goals!
