I started blogging when I was 14 years old. At the age of 16 I began my own magazine, Prize. I tend to blog about my personal style, shopping trips, Prize itself and my inspirations. I get countless emails a day from readers, but the malicious comments are few and far between. If I ever do receive one it just gets deleted right away. It’s not worth my time, as I’m concentrating on the quality of my work, sharing my likes and
dislikes and getting more advertising money from mainstream companies.

I’m a weightlifter, photographer, and world traveller. I also write blogs that blend together scientific research and the biographies of important figures. I enjoy passing on their tips on how to build habits that can improve your well-being. Actually, I’m often reviewing their texts or books, but what makes my blog unique is the selection of authors I choose to write about and my style. I like my posts to be relaxing but to include lots of useful details. And the technical aspects of starting a blog don’t have to be time-consuming at all. I’ve found the whole experience very easy-going and rewarding.

When I started back in 2014, I didn’t think much about my age – I never felt intimidated or out of my depth while blogging about politics, and had always done my homework properly before writing. But then some bloggers couldn’t believe I was ‘only’ 15 and gave me a hard time in their comments. I was offended they were assuming a teenager couldn’t be an authority on politics. At the time, I even considered blogging about something else. As I moved into my college years, though, the tough schedule made me devote more of my time to studying politics.

Biscuit Bob is my healthy vegetarian food blog. If it just stopped there, it would be enough. But it’s more than that, because I’ve also incorporated stories and photos of my dog Bob. Cute dog photos will melt almost anyone’s heart, so using them in your blog can be a fun way to stand out. My example proves that by posting vegetarian food recipes with a little creativity, you can create a prizewinning food and recipe brand. And this applies to all blogging subject areas. It’s hard to imagine that initially exposing myself like this made me feel really uncomfortable, and it took time to figure out what I wanted to blog about.

There was no grand design when I started blogging 14 months ago; I just wanted to write about music, film and lifestyle. It took me some time to get the blog up and running and I mostly concentrated on film reviews because that’s what really interested me. For ages no one read it, but then I was noticed by the national press, worked on my design and promotion and now I get roughly 30,000 unique hits a month. But I can’t see myself doing this indefinitely. I’d sooner be a film director than a critic.

I’d say my blog is a longstanding and powerful one and is making readers live simpler, healthier and more mindful lives. I myself went from being depressed, stressed, unhealthy, and dissatisfied with my life and former job – to running a marathon, getting up early every morning, and writing each day. It didn’t happen overnight though. Rather, it came because I was able to slowly change my habits and ultimately my work and my life. This is a blog to read whenever you’re feeling anxious, lonely or sad. It advises you to keep it simple, slow down, and just breathe.
