Making this blog

Laura: Hey guys, I'm writing this at a very exciting time for me and Em as we've decided to start a blog! It's something we've both wanted to do for a while and we thought it made sense to make one together so our readers have the novelty of experiencing a blog written by identical twins (and we do virtually everything else together, so it made sense to do this. Plus, I knew Em would only go moody with me if I made one without her).

Our bio on the right pretty much sums up what to expect from our blog. We're lifestyle bloggers, which is basically what it says on the tin- we'll give you a peek into our (not so) glamorous lives, from our daily routines to our struggles with mental health and everything in between, not forgetting our opinion on everything from makeup products to nose jobs. 

Then, of course, because we're twins, you should expect the occasional twin post, about what it's like being one half of the same egg. Whether we've pranked anyone, the craziest things we've done together, what it was like going to high school as a twin... expect it all.

Our posts will usually be written by both of us, which is why I'll pass on to Em to have her say now (like I said, she would not be impressed if I took over). But just to let you know, we'll always begin our posts with our name, so you know who's talking when.

Emma: Hi guys, It's Emma here, writing my part of our first post of hopefully many more to come! Me and Laur are both super excited to be writing a blog together and being able to showcase our passion for writing, moaning, giving advice and maybe even teaching things.

Being a twin for 18 years, it's actually hard to remember that we're different from other sisters, and walking down the street to all the stares from passers by has become so normal to us that we don't even notice it any more. 

It does help that we have different coloured hair! I dyed mine dark brown, from our ash-brown original colour, so long ago that I can't even remember when it was now, and Laur dyed hers blonde soon after. We did it partly so that people would stop confusing us on such a major level, but it just so happened that hair colour was something we actually disagreed on- I've always wanted to be a proper brunette and Laur has always fancied being a blonde (bimbo jokes aside, it really suits her). 

This blog is like so many other blogs out there; there are so many amazing lifestyle blogs I've seen already, but with one exception: it's managed and written by identical twins (us!). So if anyone out there is curious about the day-to-day life of being a twin, this blog is a little window into our personal lives, from the highest of the highs, to our lowest points- we will share all.

Well, that marks the end of our first post! We look forward to getting to know you all soon.

Emma and Laura x
