The new era of Yours, Chloe

Well, hello there blogging world, long time no speak. 

It feels quite odd to be actually sitting down and writing a blog post, as things have been rather quiet on the blogging front for a long while. I took a break from this corner of the internet of mine when life started to get really busy last year and before I knew it, my poor old blog had been left outside on the metaphorical doorstep for nearly a year and a half!

But here we are, let’s get reacquainted, shall we? 

I’m Chloe, I’m twenty-eight and I live in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. 

Life has been slightly hectic since I last wrote a post. Earlier this year I married my husband Johnny after a decade together. I really enjoyed wedding planning (any excuse to have five + spreadsheets on the go at any one time pleases my brain endlessly) but boy does it take over your life and, alongside working full time, leave little time for anything else. But now the wedding is ticked off and we’re just enjoying married life before moving onto any of the next stages life has to offer, I’m back with more time to dedicate to my hobbies, starting with blogging.

So let me catch you up on my blogging journey to date.

I started blogging in 2012, as a fourteen-year-old, who (like many of my fellow teen bloggers in the 2010s) was inspired by the likes of Zoella, Sprinkle of Glitter and all of the original blogging girlies. At that time, the blogging world was packed full of all of that old school content we love to get nostalgic over like OOTDs, what’s in my bag posts, monthly empties/favourites posts and the infamous ‘tag’ posts. Over the years I developed more of a passion for lifestyle and wellness content, which became my general focus for several years.

But then in 2023 I began focusing my blog content on book reviews, particularly for ARC campaigns with a range of publishers. And my lifestyle/wellness content moved over onto social media, primarily TikTok where I’ve delved into the world of short form video content. That very much seems to be the ‘in thing’ at the moment in comparison to the good old’ written word but I’m really craving the best of both worlds. So, I’ve fired up blogger for the first time in an age.

My plan going forward for my little corner of the internet is to get back to reviewing books but also starting to share my lifestyle/wellness content in written form alongside the video formats that are going on TikTok. If you would like to follow me on TikTok, click here. It would be lovely to have you!

So, let’s get started, welcome to the new era of Yours, Chloe.
