Don’t Go changing to try to please me

Those lyrics from Billy Joel popped into my mind when I thought about todays topic. You ever feel like you lose yourself in an effort to be more appealing? I have. Recently I’ve noticed that blogging is starting to feel more like a chore than a fun hobby. For month’s I couldn’t figure out why I felt this way, but I think I’ve finally found the answer. The blog has lost its core, that special something that made it unique to only me. Since January I have received advice from just about everyone on how I can fix my blog so that it will be more appealing for my readers. While this isn’t poor advice, my effort to make my blog more appealing to my readers has actually made it less appealing to me.



When I first started blogging January of 2011 on my previous blog Dreammua. I would write about whatever I felt at the moment. It was a huge mixture of reviews, fashion, diy, daily life, and photography.In the summer of 2011 I watched a seminar about “how to be successful in the blogging world” and the speaker encouraged us to find one topic and stick to that. I thought that was the best advice in the world and maybe for most people it is, but for me this has proven to be a complete disaster. You see, the truth is, I don’t wear makeup on a daily basis and I don’t constantly go out and purchase makeup. So it often times makes it difficult to keep a blog focused mainly around reviews relevant.



I miss the days when I could write about whatever I wanted , like my new dress or the super cheap shirt I found in Wal-Mart. Those things are ME!

I’m a huge DIY lover that spends her days cruising the internet, painting her NAILS, playing with her lovable dog SHILO, admiring NATURE, hovering over a BOOK, doing research on PHOTOGRAPHY, and playing with her LARGE makeup stash. 

I am more than a reviewer, I am a person with hopes, dreams, and admiration's. My blog is an extension of me and right now its only showing a small portion of my HUGE personality. I have finally reached that place where the number of followers no long matter. I just want to blog for me. Now this doesn’t me that I don’t love for people to read my blog and enjoy what I do, it just simply means that my blog has to also be something I enjoy doing and something that is a complete extension of myself. You get what I’m saying? After having this revelation, I’ve decided to switch up my blog.

 My name will of course stay the same. I rather love the name Sweet Tart Beauty and I do feel that it fits me. I can be sweet and yes at times tart, meaning I’m not always in an amazing mood. So where does Beauty come in? You might ask, well I do love Beauty, not just the superficial kind but beauty deep within your heart. I love to capture others beauty and promote people that have huge hearts and are doing their best to leave their mark! 

So what can you expect in the future? I will still do reviews because I do enjoy them. But, now you’ll also catch daily ramblings, photography, DIY projects, Beauty tips/looks, and what I would like to call “ Out of My Zone” fashion moments. I hope you will join me on this new journey!! I’m also on the hunt for an AMAZING blog designer so if you know one please leave me a comment below!!!

Love, Danielle ( or you can call me Emmy)
