For those who have followed and/or read my blog for the last however many years, I Solemnly Promise, this is the last blog-hosting site that I shall move to. For all the new readers, you’re in for an absolute treat.
I started blogging in 2011 and continued, somewhat sporadically, throughout the decade. As I matured, so did my content and my writing style and in 2019, after writing for a magazine, I realised that maybe this was something I wanted to do for a living.
Way back when in 2009, we started our GCSEs and therefore had to decide what we wanted to do for, I don’t know, the rest of our goddamn lives (why does the system put so much pressure on 13-year-olds?) My mum, whilst reading the Sainbury’s magazine said, “food critic” because I love to eat and to write. I entertained the idea for six months, was put off by my uncle saying that I would be rubbish at it and I didn’t think about it again until recently.
Of course, as mothers so annoyingly are, mine was right. Writing and eating are my dream combo and if I’m paid to do it then that’s an added bonus. This is where the rebrand of the blog began. The old one (and, ahem, the one before that) had very little focus which is why I think I found it difficult to keep to any kind of schedule. Here, however, I know my focal point and I can curate posts that complement it – at least, that’s the plan.
So here’s what you can expect: lots of posts about food and drink, whether it be eating out or what we’re cooking at home, other posts related to lifestyle with plenty of pictures and finally, a new Instagram page (@rosenburgerblog) for you to watch my everyday activities… If you’re into that sort of thing.
2020. It’s the start of a new decade and I’m dedicated to investing in myself and in my future and hey, if that involves eating lots of food and writing about it, who am I to resist?
