Yes, yes, most of us may actually be photo-taking obsessed booknerds that hide behind aesthetically pleasing blog designs (yo, there are some pretty awesome designs out there). BUT THERE IS SO MUCH THAT YOU DON'T KNOW AND THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO TODAY. Yes, you are correct; I am going to expose what bloggers are truly like. Mwuahahahaha!
Vanessa and I were having a lovely conversation about books one day and then all of a sudden, I was like: "Yo, wanna do a collaboration?" And like any kind human soul that could only tolerate my level of craziness, she said yes! Thank you, dear.
So, after some fun brainstorming, we came up with a bunch of things that we, as bloggers, do that nobody probably knows about. Maybe you'll find this post informative or maybe you'll find it #relatable... either way, let's get to it!

THINGS BLOGGERS DO THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT
- We get amazing ideas but sometimes we're just too lazy to get up and write them down
I don't know about you, but I'm super forgetful. So, if I'm lying in bed with the covers up to my chin and a book in my face, you know for certain I am not going to go write that super-epic-world-changing idea down. And yes, that idea is now lost forever and it's all our fault due to our incredible laziness and the pleasure of pure comfort.
- We do, in fact, blog in our pjs
And no, I'm not talking about those cute pajama bottoms with fluffy pastel-colored socks. I'm talking more about those pjs you've worn so many times, there are mysterious pizza stains even on the inside.
- We don't use Pinterest for exposure- we really are just addicted
Being able to gain exposure from Pinterest is just a plus side to our addiction. *goes back to pinning mbti types and bullet journal spreads while laughing at animal memes*
- We'll edit photos for hours but only end up using that one photo that took us .2 seconds to take and slap a filter on
I don't know about you BUT I HAVE SO MANY EDITED BUT UNUSED PHOTOS THAT I PROBABLY WILL NEVER EVER SHARE WITH THE WORLD BECAUSE gotta post that photo I just took with zero effort whatsoever.
It's a problem that I have no intention of fixing.
- Our camera rolls want to kill us
If we disappear in the middle of the night with no trace of evidence as to where we went, you now know why. #ripourstoage
- We do crazy things just to take a post worthy photo
Like, making coffee and not actually drinking it just so that you can capture that cozy "moment". (I've never done this but I'm sure I will shortly.)
OR... putting your phone inside your mouth just so that you can get both of your hands in the shot. I did this with the photo below and I got chapstick all over my case. #noregrets
- We avoid reading long blog posts but we're the ones who write them
I am shamefully admitting that when I see a long blog post, I procrastinate by telling myself "I'll read it later" but that later never actually comes. AND NOW I'VE JUST MISSED AN AMAZING POST BECAUSE OF MY OWN FAULTS.
But then I'll spend hours writing a super uber long blog post that probably didn't need to be 20 pages long???
- We visit our own blogs more than our readers do (I'm my biggest fan)
99.9% of my views are actually me looking at my blog every time I log onto my computer then checking it out on my phone "just in case". But we won't tell myself that because I like to believe that most of those views belong to my pizza loving fans. No flash photography, please.
channeling my inner abbie with this photo
Thank you so much for reading! And thank you, Vanessa, for doing this with me. She is so sweet, you guys. Plus, she's been a lovely reader of mine for SO long. That is true commitment. Am I right? YOU ROCK, VANESSA, AND I HAD SO MUCH FUN DOING THIS WITH YOU. <3 Check out Vanessa's post to read eight more facts about things bloggers do that you might not know about. Also, stay there for a bit while you're at it. You won't regret it. ;)
