November Blogger Of The Month!

If you are a regular reader, you will know that last month I decided to create a new feature on my blog 'Blogger of the Month'. A post where I am able to share with you a blog and blogger that I have been loving during that particular month.

Now I am very excited to share with you my November Blogger of the Month, I recently discovered this blog and fell in love with it!



The blog in question? Prim & Propa. Now I don't know whether I was just very naïve or just out of touch but I never realised that men also blog about beauty and fashion. Silly I know because there is a huge market out there for men's grooming products and male dominated fashion brands, so why wouldn't there be male beauty & fashion bloggers?

I love bloggers who are truly passionate about what they do and what they write about and that is what attracted me to Prim & Propa.

Primal Majithia, the owner of Prim & Propa has a great sense of style and I love his fashion posts as well as his beauty posts. He really knows his stuff.

So I would like to share with a little more information about my November Blogger of the Month, Prim & Propa.

Name: Primal Majithia 
 
Name of your Blog: Prim and Propa
 
Website address: http://primandpropaofficial.blogspot.co.uk/
 
Blog category: Fashion, Beauty and Lifestyle
 
How long have you been blogging for? 

I've been blogging for less than a year, I think my first post went up in January 2014. But I was planning my blog a couple of months before because I wanted everything to be just right for everyone!
 
What inspired you to create your blog?

One of my really good friends has a Blog called Gracious Silhouettes and it was actually her who suggested it to me when I uploaded an OOTD on Christmas Day! This then became my very first blog post 'The Photo That Started It All'.
 
What do you enjoy most about blogging?

I think the blogging community is so strong and it's so nice to be able to share your opinions with everyone in the world. It's also an amazing way to be creative and keep up with a lot of trends. I've been reading blogs for a long time now and it feels so amazing to think that I am now one of them! 
 
What has been the hardest thing you have found about blogging?

I think it's coming up with blog post ideas, I went through a phase where I thought I had to write about things that people would find interesting and I made things quite hard for myself because I wasn't sure of who I was trying to please. In the end I got over it and just started writing about things that i would want to read about myself. 
 
If you could give advice to fellow bloggers trying to increase their followers/subscribers what would it be? What have you found most successful?

I think it is so important to be true to yourself and to be honest in what you write. I found that I gravitate towards blogs with a good layout and good photo's so I'm always making sure everything looks good before I post it. Also it takes a while before things start happening with your blog so don't put yourself down, just keep writing about things that make you happy and slowly but surely your following will grow.
 
If you could give someone thinking about starting a blog one bit of advice what would it be?

Do it! Write about things that interest you, write about your life, writing is such an amazing way to express yourself! Just take the first step ... If I can do it anyone can.
 
How can my readers contact you?

I absolutely love connecting with people almost as much as I love a selfie! You can find me on Twitter - @primalmajithia Instagram @primalmajithia and BlogLovin - Prim and Propa

Thank you Prim for answering my questions, I really appreciate it and I hope my readers enjoy your blog posts as much as I do!

One thing I also love is how nice Primal is, so friendly and genuinely a friendly and approachable blogger.

 

I asked Primal to share his favourite post with my readers and like most bloggers he was very modest and couldn't choose so he allowed me to pick my favourite post to share.

I have chosen to share a beauty post from Prim & Propa, hope you enjoy!

THE SKINCARE REVIEW - BULLDOG

Hello everyone! So I'm recovering from last week still and its super evident in my skin. I don't know if anyone else experiences the same thing but my skin tends to go really bad when I'm not feeling too good. I've always tried to take really good care of my skin and I've been a bit lucky really. My mum has amazing skin and I guess that's been passed down but that doesn't mean I don't need to look after it. Taking care of your skin is super important, I think it always used to be a bit odd for Men to walk into a drugstore and pick up some skincare ... but the world has moved on! Men take just as much pride in their skin as women do. So over the week when I found my skin becoming a bit dull I made a trip to Boots and picked up some Bulldog Skincare for Men ... I may have gone a bit wild *shhh!*

Original Moisturiser - Before this I was using the Boots Botanics Oil Free Moisturiser and I really enjoyed using it so I wasn't sure what I was going to get with this one but it was just as good if not better! It has a thick consistency but really melts into the skin which means you don't need to use a lot. It tends to stay wet for a little while but sets in quite quickly once you've applied it. It also smells amazing so bonus points right there!

Original Eye Roll-On - Now this is one of my most favourite products from the line, I have always seen these available for women but men get dark circles too! So I put this in my basket without a second thought and I was not disappointed! I have been using this for less than a week but the results are already noticeable ... to me this is a miracle product! I apply it in the morning and also before I go to bed.

Original Face Wash - I tend to use this one in the morning, I don't always have time to do a proper scrub so I use the Face Wash instead. The gel warms whilst lathering and is packed with green tea. This really helps give the skin a good cleanse in the morning and clears away any debris.

Original After Shave Balm - I've never really bothered with an aftershave balm before but it was on offer so I picked it up. Its super rich and really calms the skin after shaving, you don't realise but shaving is a real work out for your skin and it can sometimes agitate the skin. This is packed with Chamomile, Cucumber and Green tea so its really good for you and it works!

Original Face Scrub - The gritty consistency in this really helps budge all the dirt that has piled onto the skin after a long day. I use this before cleansing the skin to give it a good clean. The scrub has pumice and coconut shells and so isn't as harsh on the skin.

As you can see there is a wide selection on offer and I really was not disappointed, I don't really go back to the same products time and time again because I like to try out new things but I was so impressed with the Eye Roll-On it is most definitely something I will be purchasing again. Let me know if you guys have tried any of these products or if there's anything else that you guys would recommend.
