THE LONDONER MEETS LSE

   

T

               

As she reminisced  back to how her blogging career commenced with the notorious Slutty Brownies (which from previous tastings, I can report is as deliciously dirty as the name itself), Rosie ensured that despite her extensive fan base her blog remains true to her initial purpose of documenting her beloved memories and life experiences. The session continuously digressed back to her 'stay true to yourself' blogging philosophies. "Your life is the blog, don't let the blog be your life", she advised. Rosie emphasised how important it was to her to stay true to her (non-London based) roots, despite the pressuring nature of PRs and firms. Her refusal to publicize products for other companies that she would not personally use is admirable. Perhaps it is this dismissal to trade off authenticity for publicity that is the secret ingredient to her success. "When I don't enjoy blogging anymore is the time when I will stop".

There was a notable sense of excitement and passion in her voice as she discusses her unique experiences, validating blogging not only as a career path, but also a genuine hobby. "I can be anywhere in the world and blog: that's the great thing about blogging! I can work anywhere in the world, whether it'd be in LA or London!" 

However, when questioned about what she likes to post about most it was somewhat shocking to discover that it is not her endless dessert concoctions, or low-calorie alternatives, but documenting her travelling, in particular taking pictures of the beautiful scenery. "I like to see pictures of the location, not just endless selfies of people captioned with 'Just landed in LA!' posted on Instagram!" she elaborated. 

As her speech ended the society accompanied Rosie in eating a slice homemade cake in true London fashion, in a bake sale in aid of one of this year's RAG charities, Spires. Rosie finally revealed how she is still undecided about her future career plans. Judging from the resounding and continual success of her blog, however, we hope a change of direction is not anytime soon. We just can't get enough of The Londoner!
