Being professional online

This post has been long overdue since I faced a lot of unprofessional behaviour online from another internet user towards the end of 2012. Considering the career path they have chosen, their attitude was appalling.
The tweets were pathetic. And when I say pathetic I mean it. I'd Instagram a picture of my foundation or my new makeup brushes and they'd tweet how they didn't need to wear foundation, and they didn't see why girls painted their faces on. They'd try and put me down because of the degree I do, but I laughed it off with all my friends. At the end of the day, it's like my friend Sam said: 'You know you're famous when you have a stalker.'
My Mum kept on at me to protect my tweets and make my Instagram private, but because of my blog and the fact I'm trying to get myself out there on the internet and share my life, it seemed backwards. At the end of the day, I've got nothing to hide, and if said person can not handle what I do in my life that's their problem. 
Really, all us bloggers are is show offs, 'look at my new beauty products' 'look at what I bought', but some people just can't help but be green with envy. Negative comments is something I think every blogger faces, it's definitely made my skin thicker than it already was.
I just wanted to share my online morals that I've tried to stick to throughout the whole thing. I think they apply to being online generally, not just in my situation.

Don't pick fights and don't tweet whilst you're drunk - it's not attractive or professional. Although Twitter is meant to be spur-of-the-moment, you should still work out what you want to say and how you want to look.

Every image you upload says something about you. So avoid photos being uploaded to the internet that of you drunk, it could cost you a job.

There's nothing worse than you not being authentic online. Life isn't 24/7 glam and it's okay to show that, and by sharing your quirks and details you connect better with others.

I was told by a friend 'If someone is trying to bring you down, it only means you are above them'. Tell yourself that whenever somebody feels the need to have a go at you.

Especially all you bloggers. Don't tweet one day and not for another week. People are nosey, that's why we share our lives online with each other.
