You’re Not a Blogger Until…

April 24, 2013 | 52 Comments

Us bloggers. Oh my. We’re a whole different breed. Cory makes fun of me almost on a daily basis for all of the silly “blogger quirks” I have.
Read on… it couldn’t be more true. Us bloggers are pretty darn quirky!





You’re not a blogger until…

1. Take pictures of yourself… looking at the ground.

2. Wear a chambray button up top.

3. Pile your hair on top of your head into a “top knot.”

4. Wear colored skinny jeans.

5. You put your hand in your hair for pictures.

6. You wear wide rimmed glasses.

7. You get mad because you forgot to Instagram your food before eating it.

8. You’ve asked your child to re-do whatever they’ve just done… so you can Instagram it.

9. You drink a majority of your beverages out of mason jars.

10. You’ve worn a different color of nail polish on your ring finger.

Now be honest. How many of these are you guilty of?
Note: I am guilty of every single one of them.

    Guilty of every single one. I actually painted my nails last night and painted them all the same color… and thought well that’s boring! Haha – it’s funny the things we do. Loved this post!

      Lol this happens to me all the time. I pain them all in one color on my lazy/no time for anything days, and I feel so disappointed because they’re so plain. This was so not the case a few years ago!

    I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a “blogger” per se… but I think I’ve done all of these things, oops!

    This is too good! I’ve done all of the above except ask my child to re-do something… but if I had a child, I totally would. 😛

    I’ve only done about half of this list, but it’s probably because I’m definitely not a very fashionable blogger lol

    I’m guilty of two from your list, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have others quirks that my husband pokes fun of!

    And my hubs is a real smart alec, so I get REALLY teased sometimes, haha.

    I made dinner the other night [ a pretty big accomplishment on its own ] and I told my husband he couldn’t eat until I took a picture of it to post on instagram and he gave me the “are you kidding me” look and I proceeded to give him the “you better not touch it” look haha Oh, blogging!

    lol at looking at your feet and chambray shirt. I have never seen so many people wear chambray shirts! Mine is getting to my son’s school early enough so I can respond to emails on my phone before school is dismissed. Plan my life around blogging. Trying to set up events so i can blog about it later. Seems a little psycho now that i wrote it out.

    Great post, it made me laugh!

    I’m also a chambray shirt addict! I’m always tempted to take a pic of an empty plate for Instagram with a caption “Oops, too hungry to remember to take a pic!”. The worst thing about blogging is writing something and having to wait to post until it’s more poignant. Hilarious post!

    I’m guilty of the chambray top and the colored jeans. Also, putting my hand in my hair and looking down. Oh and Q knows if we make something or go somewhere to eat, not to take a bite until I’ve gotten a photo. haha.

    So at SNAP! this weekend it was so so easy to spot a blogger: colored skinny jeans, polkadot flowy top, bubble necklace, hipster glasses, and top knot. everyone had on the blogger uniform! (some were even drinking out of mason jars!) could not be truer!

    This is funny. But I think lots of trendy girls in general are guilty of these things.

    Here’s what I would add:

    11. Your mood is instantly ruined when you can’t take pictures with that fabulous outfit you just put together.

    12. You spend hours online, editing photos and keeping up with followers.

    13. You think print mixing is normal (and oh so cute!).

    14. You receive too many emails from too many stores.

    15. You go shopping more than you probably should (although this is certainly not true for all bloggers).

    16. Your friends/family think you’re either awesome or crazy for taking pictures in “look-at-me!” outfits in public places.

    And there are more, but that’s all I got for now. Lol.
