SIX MONTHS BLOG ANNIVERSARY x BLOGGING BUCKET LIST CHALLENGE
Super excited that I have come this far. It might not be anything to you but i am commitment-phobic and I know how I struggled not to let go especially when I began to realise that blogging is a lot of WORK.
As far back as the year 2012 I have always wanted a blog and it wasn’t until 2017 I got one. I have created about two blogs previously and didn’t put up any content because the whole blogging thing was so confusing.
I started this blog on the 15th of may, 2017 and my first post wasn’t an introduction post simply because i didn’t want an introduction. oh i was so shy, I didn’t want anyone who knew me in real life to find out I had a blog. My secret lasted only a week before my mum asked me what my blog was about, how she knew I still don’t know.
Clocking 6 months was a really big deal for me. A premium blog theme, professional blog photo shoot and a media kit were things I planned on doing because I felt I had crossed the baby blogger stage and needed to up my craft. However, on second thoughts I felt I was probably jumping the gun and decided to leave all that until the blog clocks 1 year.
My blogging bucket list
Who says you can’t make a bucket list for your blog?. For those who don’t know, a bucket list is a number of things you wish to accomplish during your lifetime. I have things that i want to achieve within the next six months on my blog and so I thought about creating a blogging bucket list challenge.
This challenge is really easy-peasy! All you have to do is share your blogging goals for the next 6 months.

This is going to be the first time I’m going to be partaking in a blog challenge lol. You’ve honestly come a long way and it’s hard to believe you’re just 6 months in. I’m almost a year in and I’m still such a JJC. Keep it up. Your work ethics inspire me
Author
Oh wendy darling, thank you
My! What a milestone, you sure have come a long way and accomplished so much in just 6 months! So we didn’t get an introduction post, how about a get to know me post? (you still can’t be so shy naw, Lol).
On the challenge, I can’t wait to write and share mine as i see it as not just a challenge but also blog goals.
On the giveaway, i would like to win the brush set for my sisters (they are twins). On the the week of returning back to school after the ASUU strike they lost their make up brushes after putting it outside to dry. It really did hurt them as they had to use mine for a while and went back to school without replacing it. If i win the kabuki brush set, it wouldn’t just be the best holiday gift but would make them really happy. I can imagine their faces breaking into a beautiful smile on they hearing it’s theirs for keeping.
Congratulations once again, and i hope i win, Lol.

Hey girl! Happy 6 months of blogging! You have been doing great so far. I hope you achieve your goals and aspirations for the blog! It would be greedy for me to try and collect brush when I just got some but I’m endorsing Didi o! I was even planning on making a post on my blogging goals so this is a push for me to start and finish the post! Thanks for the tag, and I wish you all the best once again!
Author
Thank you so much dear.
I hope didi wins too
Thanks for the endorsement Amaka. I feel like Tiwa Savage getting a pay check from Pepsi. Hehe
Congrats Gift! Happy blog anniversary. 6 months now, more years to come. I applaud all of the efforts you’ve put into blogging and pray it pays off massively.
So I’d really like the Kabuki brush set because it’d help add to my little makeup collection. The importance of the right brushes for makeup application can not be overemphasized and it is a very bad habit of mine to apply makeup with my hands as I have no brushes to use. So the brushes will really help me slay harrrrd in Bobrisky’s voice. Thank you!
Author
Thank you so much Dammy… I hope you win too so you can slay harddddd
Congratulations Gift!
6 months of consistency is a big deal!
Even though I’ve had my blog for almost a year now, I still feel like a baby blogger because I only just started to actually ‘work’ on it and be consistent.
Thank you for tagging me! I’ll get right into the challenge!
I pray for bigger and better years ahead!??https://naijagirlonabudget.wordpress.com

And I hope by then I would have ticked every single item on my list.
Thank you dearie
I won’t say I know the exact date you started blogging but 6months is a big deal! I thought everything was a joke when you were always talking about being serious with your blog but recently, your passion for it has intensified. We’ve become closer this past year and all i can say is a big congratulation!!! I wish all your bucket lists come through and my personal wish is that your blog name becomes a household name. P. S this is the first time ever that I’m subscribing to a blog and for the giveaway, I hope someone else wins it (at least, you know my make up capacity, lol)
Congrats once again and more heights!!!

You have always been there for everyone and having you as a friend makes me feel exceptional. I love you girl.
And a big Amen to your prayers!
Lol let mama Jayson hear you didn’t at least participate on her behalf.

My mum’s birthday is in two weeks. She once talked about how she loved my sisters make up brush because they just make her face feel like they are being pampered. My mum is my everything and all I want is just to make her always smile. I hope we win(my mum and I)
I really like your blog. Congratulations
I just gained admission into the university and one of the ways I want to sustain myself is by doing makeup for really affordable rates. This brush would go a long way to help me. Please Please I need it.
