About This Blog

I created The LC Issue in December 2010 as a lifestyle blog which detailed my thoughts, opinions and inspirations. Entertainment, fashion, beauty, health, travel and media are all interests of mine so I wanted to create a blog that I enjoyed writing and, hopefully, people would enjoy reading. I also publish diary posts and posts relating to my work as a magazine Features Writer; this is most definitely a blog which I am proud to call my own.

In September 2011, the blog had a revamp which involved introducing a new logo, created by Daniel Codd, and this gave the site a more modern, bespoke appearance. At this point, I started posting more regularly and signed up to numerous social networking sites including Bloglovin', Bloggers and Google+. This, along with continuous tweets, enhanced the publicity the blog received and, since then, the blog has grown and grown in terms of content quality and traffic; I am pleased to say that, since September 2011, I am experiencing an average monthly page view increase of 20%.

This success is motivating me to make The LC Issue even bigger and better by producing more quality blog posts - the most important factor of my blog - and working in partnership with other people and companies. I have learned so much during this first year as a blogger, and my eyes really have been opened to new opportunities, so I am determined to learn even more and make The LC Issue as successful as it can be.

About Lindsay

I am a 20-something year old Features Writer from Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire. I have always wanted to be a journalist, either for a newspaper or magazine, and in 2010 I graduated from the University of Hull/Grimsby Institute of Further and Higher Education with my Journalism Degree. Shortly afterwards I started my full-time position as a Features Writer for a regional publishing house and haven't looked back since.

I write this blog in my spare time - after work, at weekends, whenever I can - because I love what I do. This blog enables me to express my opinions on whatever I feel like writing about, whether it is an item of clothing or make-up products I like, reviews, travel stories, education and journalism, interesting things I have seen or heard about or generally, what I feel like on that particular day. I love researching, writing and seeing the finished product, and I take great pride in what I do - I hope this is reflected in this blog.

I am a big girly-girl; I like clothes, make-up, zumba, cooking, trying to keep fit (trying being the key word) and chocolate, of course! I love travelling to new places - my favourites so far being New York, LA and Rome - and having great times with friends, family and @ultimatecoddy.

And finally, thank to everyone who takes the time to browse, read, comment on and follow this blog - as I said above, I love what I do and it really does mean so much to me that there are people out there who enjoy what I write about. You are helping this blog to grow and grow, and I become even more proud each day - I couldn't be more grateful!
