My Year: 2015 Rewind

Hi guys,

It’s the last day of the year 2015. 2015 was a mixed bag for me, 2014 Dec I got married so it was all supposed to be rosy and good, but in mid Jan itself I met with the accident which has in many ways changed my life and for the bad. The six months post the accident were terrible, can say the worst period of my life. I was affected even emotionally and mentally more than physically. Relationships were also strained coz of all the pain and stress. I used to get the accident nightmares every single night and whenever I was free or unoccupied. I tried keeping myself occupied and worked a lot, so that I did not have any free time. I even started my YouTube channel in June (Subscribe if you still haven’t!)

Things are better now, we shifted to a new place this month and also celebrated our first wedding anniversary. I am gaining back the lost confidence slowly, but I still feel afraid of doing many things so as to not aggravate my pain. I still get back ache if I sit without back support, so that does happen while clicking pictures or filming or anything like that. I need to take a break in between. I haven’t exercised or anything since ages except my Physiotherapy which I did very religiously with weights, etc. coz I wanted to be normal and walking super soon! Ever since I got back, I have been super lazy, I had ordered ankle weights and have my light dumbbells too which should be put to good use now, since the body has had enough rest and will complete one year to the accident in mid Jan.

Also I do everything on the blog from clicking the pictures to editing to writing the posts all by myself and it is difficult! When you cannot even see if you are in focus or not and all such stuff, managing alone is difficult. So I just opened the blog to new voices and new writers this mid November (Click HERE to know more). These last 2-3 months have been amazing career/work wise when it comes to blogs and collaborations/social media. I hope this was the stepping stone to 2016, 2017 and many more years to come. Brands are also realizing the importance of blogs, bloggers and social media which is great! Coz that was the only area where India lagged behind.

I did not travel much this year coz of the accident, just one Goa trip with Blogadda in mid June and this month we went to Jaipur. I hope to travel a lot more in 2016.

Also social media is doing really good, I crossed 8700 followers on my Twitter, 13000 on my Instagram, 10600 on my Facebook, also all genuine unlike the trend of ‘buying followers’ that is being followed by many new followers 😀 And the PR don’t even know, it is so easy to make out! Snapchat is doing really good too (Add me @bhumika_t) I also joined Periscope and do few monthly beams on the Fame app too. My Klout Score has been 72, even touched 74 in between 😀 So, social media wise I can only see it going ahead and ahead with the number of new things coming up everyday 🙂

Anyhoo, this was the small recap of my and the blog’s 2015 🙂 How has your year been? Let me know in the comments below. And Happy New Year!! 🙂

P.S: This OOTD was clicked during Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2014, but never went on the blog somehow. I am currently loving this bird print peter pan collar white dress again 🙂
