Hi guys! It’s wednesday already and today I want to share this post with you, I’m going to talk to you a little bit about blogging behind the scenes, cause many people don’t know much about all the inner workings of the trade, so scroll down to find out 10 things we all wish non-blogger people knew.
¡Hola! Ya es miércoles y hoy quiero compartir éste post, les voy a contar un poco sobre el detrás de cámaras de ser blogger, porque mucha gente no sabe qué onda con todo lo que implica serlo, así que sigue leyendo para saber 10 cosas que a veces deseamos que los no-bloggers supieran.
1. WE DON’T POST EVERYTHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Many people think that whenever we’re looking at our phones during a social situation is cause we’re sharing everything in our social media, well we don’t, I seriously don’t want to share this private moment with my friends and family with the whole world. What we share is a curated feed of our lives, which takes me to number 2.
1. NO COMPARTIMOS TOOOODO EN REDES SOCIALES
Mucha gente cree que cuando vemos nuestros teléfonos durante cualquier situación social es porque estamos compartiendo todo en nuestras redes sociales, neta no, no me dan ganas de compartir éste momento privado con mi familia y amigos para que toooodo el mundo lo vea. Lo que compartimos la mayoría de las veces es una selección curada de nuestras vidas, lo cual me lleva al punto número 2.
2. IT’S NOT AS GLAMOUROUS AS IT SEEMS
Sure scroll through any blogger’s instagram feed and you’ll see gorgeous shots of delicious food, heart attack worthy outfits, paradisiac vacation spots, super illuminated and tidy desks, to mention a few of the most popular themes, but what you don’t know is that our lives aren’t like that all the time, we do not eat out everyday, and you’re not seeing that bowl of bran cereal we had for breakfast monday morning, you’re not seeing all the pictures that went wrong for that outfit, or the days we just spend hanging out in our sweatpants while working on the next blog post, and that desk? it’s probably a lie, with all the work blogging involves, there’s no way ANY blogger’s desk looks like that all the time.
2. NO ES TAN GLAMOUROSO COMO PARECE
Échale un vistazo al instagram de cualquier blogger y te toparas con hermosas fotos de comida deliciosa, outfits de infarto, spots de vacaciones paradisiacas, escritorios mega iluminados y ordenados, por nombrar algunas de las fotos más populares, pero lo que mucha gente no sabe es que nuestras vidas no son así todo el tiempo, no comemos en la calle todos los días y probablemente no estás viendo el bowl de cereal de dieta que desayunamos el lunes, no ves todas las fotos horrendas de ese outfit o las ampollas que nos sacaron los zapatos, y ¿ese escritorio? es una MENTIRA, con todo el trabajo que involucra mantener un blog, no hay manera que el escritorio de ningún blogger se vea así todo el tiempo.
3. MOST OF US DON’T HAVE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS TAKING OUR PICTURES
Of course there’s bloggers who can afford to hire a professional photographer for every outfit shoot on their blog, but most of us can’t, so our pictures are mostly taken by a boyfriend, husband, sibling, friend or parent, who most of the time have no idea of what they’re doing but want to help out even as clueless as they are, you can bet that behind most ootd posts there’re 290 pictures that didn’t make the cut.
3. LA MAYORÍA DE NOSOTROS NO TENEMOS FOTÓGRAFOS PROFESIONALES RETRATANDONOS
Claro que hay bloggers que pueden pagar un fotógrafo profesional para cada outfit que suben a su blog, pero la mayoría no lo hacemos, así que nuestras fotos son tomadas en su mayoría por un novio, esposo, hermano, amigo o padre, quienes la mayoría de las veces no saben lo que están haciendo pero quieren ayudar, puedes apostar que detrás de cada post de outfit del día hay 290 fotos que no fueron seleccionadas.
This had to be said 🙈. Not only don’t I have a professional photographer to take my pictures, I also don’t have anyone to take pictures of me because I’m usually alone at home during the day when the sun is out 😊. Great post✨
The strugggle is real! I know a lot of bloggers that relay on a tripod and remote to take the pics! People need to know this!
These are all SOOO true! I couldn’t have said it better. And adorable pig purse! xx.
Thanks Kali!!
I agree with every tip, so true. Thanks for sharing!

So true! Starting out, I thought bloggers where glamour queens that had their life’s so put together but its actually a carefully selected snapshot of their life. Great post 💕

Absolutely, I mean, it’s kinda sad that we only want to see the good parts but, we have to know that we’re only human!
100% True!!!
Ohwww Yes Girlll!
Hugz and Kisses,
Miss B.💋
Thanks baby!! <3 <3 <3
Your Welcome Darling! 😙💕💕💕
Jajaja. Totalmente coerto. Estoy preparando la sección de My Style en el blog, e incluso hice otra cuenta de IG para esto. ¿Por qué he tardado? ¡Porque tenía que convencer a mi hermana! 🙈😂 Ella será mi fotógrafa de cabecera 🙊
Tal vez un día podremos pagar a un fotógrafo profesional, pero ahorita es muy bonito ver cómo quieren ayudarte y se esfuerzan por tomar la mejor foto 💕
P.D. Tan hermosa como siempre ✨✨
Ay qué emoción saber ésto Adri! Te va a salir ideal!! <3
I really enjoy your posts! All this sounds very true 🙂 xx
Thanks girl! i appreciate that you always stop by! 🙂 <3
☺️☺️😘
These are so true! If only my Mum knew how to work a camera 😂 xx
Mine knows the basics, but veeeeery basics haha still helps though 🙂
I can imagine! I need to get myself a boyfriend who also does photography haha!
Or that you can teach! That’s what I did with mine!
I think for now, I’m going to have to teach my mum haha! She’s always wanting to help out in my blog in someways!
You won’t regret it! I taught my mom and dad and they’re amazing helping!
Challenge teach mum accepted! x
Let me know how that goes!! 😀
Will do! 😊
Love this!!
Thanks doll! <3
Loving this. Check out my blog! I’m new and would love your help.
Thanks for stopping by, I will, and best of lucks!
such a unique purse! Love the boots as well x
I know right? I’m loving it sooo much!
Love this post!!!! Im glad you are sharing the behind the scenes of a blogger life 😊 oh and not to forget; I am totally in love with your bag 💕
Aww thank you so so much for your sweet comment 😀
Très jolie, et très séduisante !
Merci!! 😀
I really love the perfectly curated blogs but I also love the ones where people just don’t care and will post the less than perfect pictures or the ones where they look ‘too fat’ or ‘too skinny’ or ‘dishevelled.’ To me it makes me relate to the blog/brand/person so much more which is why I really enjoy these sorts of posts.
Absolutely, it makes them feel real! 😀
So true!
And OMG that little pig purse is absolutely ADORABLE!

Aww I’m glad you like it, I’m so in love with it 🙂
These are all so true! Fantastic points! I love perfect blogs and photos but there is something that I love about things looking ‘real’ and unfiltered too. xxx
Yeeeesss, I like when I get to read about real life problems and situations that happen to all of us, it’s always appreciated 🙂
So true – it’s not all plain sailing!
Ps: I’m in love with that elephant straw bag! X
Aww thank you girl!! 🙂
Your pig purse! So cute! The thing I love the most about being a blogger is the dreams of editing your wordpress and searching for pictures lol Its too boring to be a nightmare but it sure feels like one!
Aww thanks, glad you like it! And yeah, I totally get the feeling!
I completely relate to number three. I totally wish I had a professional photographer at all times but my sister will do for now, lol!
haha so will my brother! 🙂
That bag is amazing haha!! xx
Thank you babe!
I so get what you mean! My boyfriend is beginning to realize (with dawning horror) that dating a blogger is a full time photography job he needs to do extensive study for.
hahaha yesss, you should see his face when I ask for “a couple of pictures”
Es verdad! La vida blogger no es tan glamorosa como parece, pero si que hacemos todo con mucho amor! Ame tu bolsito esta precioso <3

haha siii eso sí, no cabe lugar a dudas, no hay otra manera de hacer tanto trabajo! Y el bolso muy a la orden! 🙂
Great post and outfit! Definitely agree with what you said! I always laugh to myself when I am blogging about fashion in sweatpants 🙂
hahaha yesss, or PJs! I laugh a lot when people tell me oh but you’re always so put together, and I’m thinking, sister, you don’t know half of it haha 🙂
The struggle is real! Hahaha! Yes to everything you said Dani! 😘💕
hahaha I know right? 🙂
This post is the truth! Blogging is work and a lot of it. I am currently learning my camera 😩😩 because I have no choice since I can’t afford a professional photographer. The struggle is real. A beautiful Instagram feed is one to admire because these bloggers work their butt off. You kept it all the way real! Great post 🙌🏿
Aww thank you very much for such a kind comment! And yessss, the struggle is real, I’m blessed with a brother who’s into photography and my parents helping out too, cause I don’t know what I’d do otherwise! <3 xoxo
