Meeting Zoella

As promised, here are the photos from the day we met Zoella.

She was totally a delight.  Looking right into the eyes and excited faces of every book fan, she was lovely.
I announced to her with glee,
"I've brought my baby girl to see you!" And she replied with an "Aww" and pulled a face that was familiar in her videos to her viewers.

I asked Zoe with a heart felt message, "So how are you doing?" Thinking she is likely exhausted with mental excitement and she replied with a cheery smile,
"I'm ok how are you?"

Once Typical pink teenager showed emotion, I showed emotion too.  Apparently the first parent to shed a tear.

Another parent who I connected with through twitter (he was there taking his big baby girl too) said I must be so proud to have the #firstcryingparentaward.  Yes!

So here are the photos from blue water book signing with Zoe and my girl.  What a wonderful day.  A great demonstration of a Lusher Life and a dream coming true.  For both Zoe and my Jas.

Apologies for the quality but we had to be quick taking the pics on the phone.

I'll be making a 'snippets' video to go on Youtube really soon, meanwhile, wishing you Much love

We are going to see Zoella on her book tour!

YES!

We really are off to see Zoe! 

Typical Pink Teenager and I were enjoying dinner out when she flushed and almost squealed in delight to quietly tell me (she’s great at checking her mood before engaging her words!) that Zoella was doing a book signing.

When she gave me the sketchy details of where it was, instantly I knew where this was going to be and it’s literally just half an hour drive from our home.  Fantastic.  My baby girl enlightentened me to let me know that for health and safety reasons there would be tickets sold.  Not for money making - important fact - but rather you kind of buy the book in advance and then Zoe will sign it as you queue with your ticket.  So, of course we are so super excited.  However, I digress.

This blog is all about your Lusher life,  your dream come true.  

Zoe sure has made her dreams come true.  She is a perfect example of how you really can make things happen.  So, how has she done it?

From what I know (and if you are a huge fan you will know more than me!) she started walking around with a video recorder at an early age.  From there and recording on holidays, she decided to begin documenting her findings on the fashion and make up front.  

What is out there in the shops?  

How much are these items?

How good are they?

From there, she found all sorts of offers flooding in.  Yet it’s not just about wishing it to happen and here in finds the issues with the Law of Attraction at times.  Visualisation is wonderful of course, and neccessary. If you need help with yours click here.

However, Zoe has consistently done the work.  She has regularly blogged and Vlogged as well as making her usual Youtube videos which now see her with millions of subscribers.

Anyone can do this these days.  You tube is fast becoming a preferred channel and I’m starting to wonder if TV might become a thing of the past.  So, if you wanted to get started, get cracking.  There are so many Youtube channels out there showing you how to do the technical stuff.  All you really need these days is a smart phone.  You can record in HD and if you download the “Capture” app you can upload straight to your Youtube channel!

Very exciting times ahead. 

Will you instantly make a million from it?  Unlikely.  Be real.  Even Zoe was still working full time when she started.  Now it’s her full time job,  much the same as many of her Youtube friends.

So,  I’ll report back with photos and show you how the lovely Zoe (surely a Lusher Lifer!) was on her book signing! 

Comment below to let me know if you managed to get a ticket for her signing!

Maybe we will see you there!

Much love

Being a busy blogger

Hi folks, how are all of you doing?

You see this photo I took when I was out at the shops a couple of months ago with my daughter?  How cool.  Just shows how far blogging has come these days.

Using blogger as a platform is a no brainer for me.  For this type of blog at least.  I find that there is a real sense of community within the Blogger network and I think the blogs looks so pretty.

When I was researching exaclty how to blog (all those years ago now!) I was thrilled to find that you must go with Wordpress to be able to make a living from your blog.  Not so.  Just yesterday while watching the local South East news, my lovely Jasmine and I were excited and delighted to see our lovely Zoella on the TV actually speaking about blog and vlog (using Blogger and Youtube - both 'free' platforms).  She is working full time and making a lovely living that most people of her age could only dream of.

Not that this comes easy.  Using blogs and vlogs to make a living takes dedication and effort and I take my hat off to those who do it full time.  Although I'm so sure there are so many rewarding aspects of the job too.

Did you ever think about starting a blog? Any idea what you might want to write about?  Start by making a bit of a plan then get out and get writing.  If you were concerned about your blog-making web designing skills then don't be.  The blogger platform is more than easy to navigate around.

Dream it big.  Then take action.  You can do it!

Much love
