YOU KNOW YOU'RE A BLOGGER WHEN...

I'd be the first to admit that as a blogger, I can be a bit of a cliché. Gimme some marble accessories and let me live my life online. Okay, slight exaggeration, but I do think I'm now accustomed to a blogging way of life. Happily so... Blogging is my favourite hobby and while I still have grumpy days, I love that it's still as important to me after three years. So, get prepared... Here are the First World Problems that come with recognising you're a blogger.

1. You've worked out the level of difficulty that comes with taking a candid picture. 

2. Posts about blogger tips are basically your bible.
3. You realised that most purchases can be justified with 'I can blog about it'.
4. You could do a degree in Facetune. In fact you could probably run lectures on it. 
5. You start to see freebies as work. As nice and wonderful as they are, that's four hours taking pictures and editing an outfit post to get a nice picture in those flared jeans. 
6. You can't help but get a bit fan-gurrrl-y when your favourite blogger likes your picture on Instagram.  
7. You've realised you actually wear the same sort of outfit and the same sort of makeup every day of your life. 
8. Your online network is bigger than your real life network. Tweeting > talking. 
9. Your friends have given up on being able to take you anywhere without you seeing it as a good photo op. Tagging along to B&Q you say? I can work my blogger pose in that fitted kitchen. 
10. You have nightmares about seeing 'your startup disk is full'. 
11. Every time you think you've aced a blog post it turns out to be the one that no bugger reads. 
12. Your handbag fits two cameras, a phone, a back up charger and a variety of accessories. 
13. You spend a large portion of your time looking at other bloggers and deciding you're giving up, moving to some wilderness and wearing beige for the rest of your life. 
14. Other bloggers influence you big time. Seen my blogging fave mention a primer on Twitter? Yeah, I'll buy that. 
15. A life concern is what people think of the 'real' you. This face ain't looking like it does with the Valencia filter. 
16. You've thought about how adopting a baby animal would give your Instagram feed a real boost. 
17. You've cried about wifi. Or computer problems. Or when your memory card deletes everything and ruins your life. 
18. You're constantly writing blog plans that go out the window the minute life gets in the way. Good intentions. 
19. You don't delete anything. 'Cause you never know when you might need that 20th blurry pic of your new heels. 
20. You generally give less of a sh*t. For me, that's the most comforting thing I've found with blogging. The more I stand taking outfit pictures in the street and the more I upload daft videos to YouTube, the less I'm bothered about what people think. Hurrahhhh.
