Dear readers, Cosette's Beauty Pantry is eleven (11) today!
Yes, I published my first blog post 11 years or 4018 days ago. I wanted to take the opportunity to mark the occasion of the blog’s 11th anniversary. Eleven is a lot of years to be writing a blog.
Eleven years ago...
- I was 25 years old.
- I started blogging because I wanted to help other people who were dealing with acne and adult acne.
- I loved experimenting with DIY beauty recipes.
- Initially, the blog was named Skin Care Suggestions.
- The main focus of the blog was skincare.
- I used to write under the screen name Euphrasie85. It was common practice back then.
- Social media was not really a thing.
- Many people close to me did not understand what I was doing; or why I was doing it.
- At first, I used my phone to take pictures for the blog. Back then, cameras phones were nowhere near as good as they are today.
- I was not yet a vegan.
- I had not fully embraced my wavey/curly hair.
Trivia:
- The 18th of September, 2010 was a Saturday, just like today.
- The number one pop song was Teenage Dream by Katy Perry.
- The number one R&B song was Deuces by Chris Brown, featuring Tyga & Kevin McCall.
- Cosette's Beauty Pantry is older than Mike & Molly, which premiered in the U.S. on the 20th of September, 2010 and Downton Abbey, which premiered in the U.K. on the 26th of September of the same year.
I do hope that you enjoy reading this blog as much as I enjoy writing it.
Thank you all for reading along, commenting and sharing my posts on social media.
Happy blogiversary!
