Intro to a Beauty and Health Blog...


This blog, being at its beginnings needs an "intro". It's been almost a year now since the idea of creating a beauty and health blog first came into my mind. This is because in the last few years my interest in this area increased more and more.

In fact, on New Year's Eve and around that date, I was... scrying the internet for local companies of beauty products. My curiosity was so high at that time that nothing was more important. My intention was to create a list for myself with all the producers I could find. Also, I wanted to add several products that deserve attention.

So, this can count as one of the reasons I have created this blog. One other reason is that, in time, I have noticed that some of my friends ask for my advice on subjects like skincare, haircare or general healthcare. Well, truth is that I have never considered myself an expert in all these areas. Still, my friends use to jokingly nickname me with different derivates from the term "Encyclopedia". So, what should I say?...

One day I had a conversation with a friend of mine who was suffering from quite serious hair and scalp problems. She was asking for my advice for a more natural way to take care of her hair. After finishing that conversation I said to myself: "This should count for something!" That day I had a short epiphany if I may say so.

Besides of that, in the last few years, but mostly during 2018, I've been reading and watching a lot of material on the subject of beauty and health. I have discovered a lot of interesting things in this area. I have tested and compared and now I'm ready to give back. So, in a way, this is what is this blog about: giving back.

I wasn't sure at the beginnings if this idea of mine will come to be a new blog. At first, I thought of writing about my new hobby on my main blog which is cristiananicolae.blogspot.com. But then I realized that beauty is, roughly put, a niche blog, while my main blog is a personal one. And true, as a personal blog it can be a "salad" of everything under the sun. But after analyzing both its statistics and its structure, I realized that it is more of an IT-related one.

To be frank, I don't see any incompatibility between Linux and skincare, as no Zorin OS user should suffer from acne. :-) But I know how many people think and also how "uncle" Google thinks.

Apart of that, this blog is more of a diary for me, partly, sentimental, partly practical. And, instead of noting my impressions and ideas down on paper I've decided to put them here, on the "virtual paper" of the blog. This way, everyone can come and take what they may consider useful. And, in time, I'll have an "album" to look into...

Oh, yeah, these are my main reasons for starting this new blog! These, and also the fact that I have embarked on a long hair journey. It sounds like a long and interesting one. We'll see!
