ABOUT ME

Hey there, I'm Stephanie (but you can call me Steff) a 21 year old blogger and YouTuber from the sunny (?) Surrey countryside in England. 

I first began blogging as a way to get my voice heard, I wanted to join the likes of other bloggers that I'd seen, and feel like I was part of something. My blogging journey began in the late months of 2012, I created my first ever beauty blog 'Ch3rry Bomb'. Unfortunately it didn't progress particularly far and I deleted the blog in the early spring of 2013. 

I knew that I had to find a way to keep myself occupied, so I decided to take up blogging again and began this blog on the 7th of May 2013. The blog has helped me a lot, and seems to be getting more popular. I honestly can't begin to describe how thankful I am to every single one of my followers (Mavericks), I know it's not much but when you put this much effort into something, having you all there is really the confidence boost I needed! 

My real name is Stephanie, I chose Maverick initially as it's the name of my favourite character in my favourite movie. Then I got to thinking, 'What does Maverick actually mean?'. Maverick's are non-conformist, free spirits that are independent-minded, eccentric outsiders. It's pretty much the perfect word for me! I have huge eccentricities and am extremely independent. 

The reason I call all of my followers Mavericks is because I want you guys to be free spirited, and I realise that we're all looking to belong somewhere. 

I've found that the internet has helped me to come out of my shell, I'm still crazy shy in real life, but here, I can be my true self. 

Which is why I really like Blogging and YouTube, you guys are seeing my true self, rather than an 'internet' personality. I am silly and act like a crazy person, but it's simply because I've decided to enjoy life, rather than become a 'serious grown-up'. I'm happy to joke around and take stupid pictures, because I can't stand it when people try to take themselves too seriously. So yes, I'll happily post a picture of me with Gary the Snail in Spongebob's house, because why the hell not? 

What can you look forward to on my blog? Well, the usual makeup reviews and tutorials, YouTube videos, general thoughts, fashion tips and inspiration, maybe even some recipes!

If I'm super busy, naturally there won't be many posts that month. But otherwise, I hope to keep blogging at a furious pace! 

So, what am I up to now? Well, as of this moment I am living with my parents, my cats (Lillypees and Cleo) and my fish (Fluffy) in a house in the countryside. I'm a complete dork, I'm clumsy, I cry at dolphin movies, I'm hugely into 80's rock music, a Gryffindor, and I'm one of those people who laugh-cries all the damn time! 

I hope that was enough to convince you to join me here, and remember to check out my YouTube channel for videos!
