It's been five years since I started my blog. To be honest, I kind of knew I'll make a huge hobby out of this little corner of the internet. It sucked me into beauty world that I love and still have the drive to share with others.
It's been fun five years and I am so grateful for all the people that I have met based on my blog. I've also worked with some interesting brands that are still supporting my work and want my input. There were times when I thought to myself, why am I even doing this or who for, when I felt especially overwhelmed with life. But I feel like everyone has their good and bad times. I am still one of those beauty bloggers that considers blogging a hobby and I don't get paid for it. It's partly my personal preference and partly because of my personal life situation. I get makeup products by brads, but never got paid to do a post about it. It's just how I work, if I had the chance to get paid, I probably would. I also always feel like you trust my reviews and I can only hope that I provide you with enough information to help you decided whether something is for you or not.
I've heard somewhere that apparently people are going back to blogs, although I can't really agree. I feel like YouTube is more popular now. But than again, it's also much more time consuming. I feel like I got stuck in my way of doing reviews and writing my blog as I did when I first started. This new wave of marketing yourself as a brand and selling a lifestyle is really not my thing. I go to beauty blogs for reviews and makeup looks and it's what I do on my blog too, even if it means a very slow rise for my blog.
I can't help myself, but to think that it's become less popular to read long reviews, so I've started to make them shorter. I understand. In a way, we all have a lot to deal with in private life and so many other things consume our daily thoughts and tasks. That's why I am so grateful to all of you that still read my reviews and leave me lovely comments. I don't have a lot of followers, but I feel like all of you are really here for me and for my input into.
In the modern age of what I like to call "modern laziness", it's rare for someone to take the time to like a photo on your Instagram and to comment on your new post. I am very grateful for all of you that do that. Modern social media platforms also bring more interactions and make me feel more connected to all of you. I love when you write me in private messages and we can debate on that new product or how it worked out for you. It makes me feel more engaged and I hope you feel that too.
I won't do my most read posts, because I do this type of blog every year. You can see some of my favorite posts from last year here. Let's take a look at some of statistics from the past five years. I have wrote 790 posts by now. There have been over million total views of my blog and about half a million of visitors. Most of my readers come from: United Kingdom, United States of America, Germany, India, Poland and Slovenia.
Thank you all for the love that you share with my little blog <3

Novelties
Graphic Design
Graphic Design
I've actually put some more effort into my blog in these couple of weeks. As you may have noticed, I have new graphic design on my blog with a new template. It was much needed. My mobile site wasn't as responsive as I wanted it to be and now it finally is.
Domain
Domain
I also bought my own domain which means you can now officially find me at adjustingbeauty.com. It makes it easier for you to find me and easier for me to tell others where to find me. Let's take this as a sign for me to keep up with my blog and maybe make some more out of it.
About Me
In case you haven't browse through my blog pages, I have also updated my About Me page. It now includes much more information about my skin and makeup preferences. This just makes it easier for all of you new followers on my blog to get a quick feel of who I am and what you might be seeing more on my blog.

International Giveaway
There will also be another international giveaway on my Instagram. I hope you tune in tomorrow (on 19th of March 2018), because you'll have a chance to win another one of my favorite products.
One of my wishes for the blog is also to finally reach 2000 followers on Instagram, which seems impossible these days. I am not too concerned with the numbers, but it would just be so nice to finally reach this magical 2000 number that is always slipping through my hands. So...if you haven't followed me on Instagram yet and you like my posts there, I would encourage you to click follow ;).
I am also hoping to meet even more of my fellow beauty bloggers in this year and have more interactions with all of you that read my blog or follow my social accounts.
Wish you all the best and have a good one,
Petra :)
