Today July 27th, is a very special day. It's my 5th Blogiversary! I can hardly believe that I've been blogging for 5 years! All my bloversaries have been special, but this one is my most special blogiversary since its my 5th Year milestone!
Fast forward 5 years later, I'm still blogging. Blogging comes so naturally to me now. I feel I've grown so much as blogger especially with my content. I wanted to write a blog that could be relatable to various readers hence the name Beauty and More by Pilar. I love beauty based topics etc, but I have so many interests that I've shared with you all over the years.
Two topics that I've discussed over the years are my struggles with depression and anxiety. When I first started my blog I knew that I wanted to discuss mental health issues. I wanted to share my story to help people who read my blog know that they're not alone, and there are different treatments available. You can read my recent Counseling post HERE.
To everyone in my personal life thank you for supporting and encouraging me these past 5 years. You are truly appreciated and loved! Thank you so much for the beautiful gifts!

Blogging isn't always easy. I can admit that. There have been plenty of times that I've wanted to quilt, felt self doubt, and even lacked motivation, but my heart always lead me back to my blog. I may review and collaborate with companies, but I blog because I thoroughly enjoy it. I love creating content and engaging in the blogging community.
I remember July 27th 2013 so vividly. I was sitting in front of my laptop deciding if I was going to hit publish for my first post. I was terrified lol! I sat and wondered was anyone going to actually read or comment on my post? After getting over my fears I finally hit publish. That's how it all began.
My first post was about my love for sunglasses. Giant Vintage Sunglasses was my first sponsored post soon after my first post. They sent over sunglasses for my 5th blogiversary! Thanks!

Happy 5 years of blogging, Pilar. This "happy" candle is perfect for the day. We meet a lot of wonderful people blogging, and from different parts of the world - that's one of the most exciting things about it. And we can write our thoughts, happenings, share stories, etc. It looks a lot simpler than it is, doesn't it? I actually did a post about this, but it is our passion, and we all have a story to tell. Keep blogging, my friend. You are doing a fantastic job!

Blessed be- and keep blogging on about what makes you happy and never be ashamed to share your struggles with depression. Drpression is a true struggle and intodays world more awareness needs to be brought to it. We face our struggles daily and we fight or force to get through. I for one hide be hide laughter, it helps me as a medicine daily, Happy blogging.
I was never ashamed about having depression and anxiety, but when I was diagnosed with depression in 2009 it was a little hard to accept at first. I focus on feeling better and helping others by sharing my story.
Happy Blogiversary. Can't believe it has been five years. I read the counseling post too. I'm am so proud of you bc by posting about your mental health issues you are helping others to get help. Ik how you have struggled with your depression and anxiety and I am proud that you are getting help. Ppl in the past didn't talk about mental health bc it was like if you talked about it you wud get it too. But bc of ppl like you and celebrities mental health has become a household topic and ppl who were afraid to get help are getting the help they need. I am so proud that you made five years of blogging and getting help. Here is to another five. And I can't wait to see the next hot topic you will post about.
Pilar, Congratulations on five years of blogging. I love seeing your beauty tips. The products you use. I love your knitting, the candles you choose. You know you are in my prayers. I like that you are sharing the hard part of your life with us. It helps. I did not realize how many people share similar fears and doubts about blogging. Sometimes it helps to vent about things. I never thought I would love blogging as much as I do. I love seeing everyone's talents at doing things they love, decorating, sewing, make-up, crafting, knitting, recycling old junk. This is a talented world full of wonderful bloggers. Blessings to you sweet friend, xoxo, Susie
Congratulations Pilar.
Happy 5th blogging anniversary.
Kisses!

Thanks Kristen. I appreciate that you've been there during my times of struggling with depression and anxiety. You are a true friend. I'm glad that mental health is a topic that is discussed more than it did years ago. It's no shame in getting treatment. I can't believe it's been 5 years! I can't wait to see what the next chapter brings for my blog!
Thanks Susie! Beauty is my first love, but I love sharing all my interests on my blog! I used to have fears when it came blogging, but I've gained so much insight since I first started my blog. Sharing the difficult parts of my life isn't always easy, but I like to think that I'm helping someone by sharing my story coping with depression and anxiety. Blessings to you as well my friend!
Thanks Adriana!
