My Identity

So i know that most Bloggers will happily tell you their names and post pictures of themselves. However, i'm different. 

I received a message asking why i'm "hiding" behind a "false identity". Instead of replying to the message i thought i'd post on here, so nobody would have to ask me again and it might answer some of your questions!

There is nothing "false" about me, aside from my Username. I'm not "hiding" behind the username, i just don't feel comfortable publishing my real name and any photos of myself. I study a form of medicine, i am regulated by a Professional Body and there are strict rules about Social Media. I don't think i would be able to reveal my "true identity" as i would be worried about any backlash. Not for what i post - everything i post is my own opinion, but i don't want to rock the boat with my Professional Body. I have heard numerous stories of other medical/nursing students having complaints filed against them for being Unprofessional.

Again, i won't be posting anything regarding my job, my status in the medical profession, or thoughts/views on my job. 

I just don't want to risk it. Unfortunantly there are people out there that will go out of their way to try and cause you problems, and as much as i love beauty and products, i love my job more and have worked hard to get to where i am today.

So if you think i'm "hiding" by not posting my true name or photographs, then that's your own opinion, which you are entitled to have. But at least now i have told everybody why i am using an anonymous username, and i believe my reasons are valid. 

Obviously i would love to be able to use my real name, and if i happen to make friends via beauty blogging, then of course i would tell you my real name!! However currently as things stand, i'm more than happy to "hide" behind a username.

I hope this has cleared a few things up - if anybody has any questions then please feel free to ask. Just please don't accuse me of being fake and hiding, because i'm not!

Have a great weekend girlies xx
