Feel Good Blogging Challenge Day 1


Before we begin you should know this is the third time I have written this, the first two times my computer crashed and deleted both documents, I'm going to try and remember what I wrote but I have the memory of a gold fish so I cant promise you this is going to be any good.

1.Who are you?

My name is Emilee, I’m 20-something years old born and raised in outback Australia.
I'm a small business owner, coffee addict, life enthusiast, environmental activist, Animal lover and most importantly I'm a Mum.


2. Why did you start blogging?

I first started blogging at the age of fifteen as a way to let out anger and frustration. I found it comforting to blog about my struggles online rather than in a diary.

My life has changed drastically since then; I'm now in a much better place in my life. I deleted that blog not long after I turned seventeen and returned to the blogging world a little over a year ago but I found myself blogging about things that I wasn’t truly passionate about. I love make-up and hair and all that beauty jazz but after writing and reviewing products for almost a year I found myself in a rut. I needed a change, I needed to find my passion and change my life.

I now live my life day to day, every morning when I wake up I ask myself “if today was your last day on earth what would you do?” and then I do it. I believe in taking risk. I'm living proof that on the other side of fear is happiness.


3. Who is your blog for?

I want this blog to be a place where you can come and find inspiration. This is a complete stress free zone. Ill share snippets of my life with you along with things I have learnt, from recipes through to over-coming depression. I want to encourage you and motivate you not only to achieve your dreams but to overcome fear and start living the life you have always wanted.


4. What’s something you’ve been working on lately that you’re REALLY proud of?

       Lately I have been side tracked by my business; we are currently in the process of creating an online store so we can sell our products worldwide. Burning Moon will be up and running online in less than a month which is completely crazy to me how quick this process is moving along. To wake up every day and I know that I'm one step closer to achieving my dream is one of the best feelings I have ever had.

5.  What’s the ONE MESSAGE that you hope people take away from your blog?

"Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness."
            -Oprah Winfrey

      Every step back is a good thing, every time you fail at something it is the universe pushing you closer to what it is you truly want and need. Every time you get knocked down you get a little bit stronger and every time you get back up you get a little bit closer.
