How to Spot One of Those Darn Bloggers

Hints:

  • Looks like a tourist. Usually carries multiple cameras. Takes the same photo multiple times with different cameras.
  • Takes forever to eat. Photographs food and drink constantly, sometimes after every bite.
  • Kinda shameless and photographs self willingly and often.

Blogger == Life Tourist

I’m sure I’m one of those darn bloggers! This is sooo true xD

2 Lindsey 02/04/2011 at 12:24 am

hahah so true and so cute!

3 kitty @ lavender playground 02/04/2011 at 12:39 am

Ha ha ha I do this too. You have to add one more “will go on hikes just to take photographs of flowers”

4 Tina 02/04/2011 at 12:43 am

You are the greatest♥ LOL. So true!!!!! From now on I will call myself a life tourist and not a crazy blogger ;-) Love the nail polish WOW. What brand is it? And you Katrina looks cute as always! Have a great weekend!

5 jennifer young 02/04/2011 at 12:45 am

hehehe. LOVE! that nail polish rocks!

Love this post! LOVE! Because it’s so very true. :) And that first photograph is fantastic!!

7 Juliette 02/04/2011 at 12:51 am

oh I miss Krispy Kreme! Love the “life’s tourist” line!

8 Rhianne 02/04/2011 at 1:37 am

hehe, I love this! :) Life tourist is so right!!

They normally have a bored looking boyfriend/friend with them too!

9 Eadaoin 02/04/2011 at 1:52 am

Hehe I love this, it’s so true! Also, is that your Happy Birthday nail varnish? It’s really cute :)

10 Greta 02/04/2011 at 1:56 am

This post is so much fun – dug the nifty details, like blogger outfit and nails.
It brightened my morning coffee and catered to donut-eating nostalgia (the kind suffered by expats) in the POV photos, rad!

11 Gabby / Gypsy*Diaries 02/04/2011 at 2:41 am

HaHa!!! So true! My boyfriend always freaks when i start to photograph our food in restaurants! :)

Blogger=life tourist
Probably the very best definition I’ve ever heard. And so true! Sometimes I feel completely lame toting around my camera all the time, but it wasn’t until I started blogging that I realized how many amazing moments I was forgetting before I started documenting it.

13 Merissa 02/04/2011 at 4:19 am

This is hilarious! The 1st and 2nd are so true of me!!
I’m so drooling over your Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and coffee! I wish we had one on our island. I’d have to take a plane to Maui if I wanted to get my Krispy Kreme fix.
Have a great weekend! xo

14 jackie 02/04/2011 at 4:46 am

Cute post! I agree with looking like a tourist. I sometimes pretend to be a tourist when taking pictures of coffee shops or stores.
I guess I kind of fail to be one of those darn bloggers, I almost never remember to take photos of what I eat and if I do, that happens like once a year.

15 samantha 02/04/2011 at 4:52 am

hhah, thats soo true,

16 Maddy 02/04/2011 at 5:24 am

Hahaha!! Love this! I’m totally one of those people! I get the side eye every time I go out to eat. People are always wondering why I’m taking pictures of the food. I admit…it’s still a little embarrassing for me. But I’m getting better at saying to hell with it :) Happy Friday, Katrina!

17 ashleyTIA 02/04/2011 at 6:45 am

Hah! So true. The other night Jeremy and I went out for cupcakes at a local bakery. Once we had our order and sat down, I went to bite into my cupcake. “WAIT!!” said Jer. “Aren’t you going to take a picture first?”

Apparently he’s getting the idea about this life tourist thing. :)

Also, I love your polish! I treated myself to Deborah Lippmann’s Across the Universe and can’t get enough of the color. Happy Friday!

18 kat 02/04/2011 at 6:59 am

I was about to do a krispy kreme post too! Soulmates? Hahahaha! I’m loving their peanut butter something donut. I forgot what they call it haha! But oooohhh my lord my sweet tooth’s in heaven…

19 lauryn 02/04/2011 at 7:01 am

I LOVE this! It’s so true. Never heard of the life tourist comparison before, but it is quite accurate :) We’ve all been guilty of taking way too many pictures of our food, haha…

20 Adeline 02/04/2011 at 7:15 am

♥ Life tourist! Best definition ever.
♥ Supercute portrait of you, love your smile.
♥ Your nail polish Katrina! I understand why you keep looking at your nails! Amazeballs! :)

21 ana 02/04/2011 at 7:27 am

bahaha. love this. ooo, love your nails too.

22 Casie Jean 02/04/2011 at 7:33 am

this is too funny and true x.x.x
Casie

23 Hazel 02/04/2011 at 7:37 am

HA! So true!

PS: I love your nails! It’s like sprinkles on a donut! =D

24 lesley 02/04/2011 at 8:55 am

Gotta say, I’m one such blogger! Shameless.

25 Tea Potty 02/04/2011 at 9:47 am

It’s reassuring that I’m not the only one who takes pictures of food! My family thinks I’m insane.

26 Micaela 02/04/2011 at 10:54 am

Ahh this is sooo true! Do this all the time :)

27 Sandy a la Mode 02/04/2011 at 10:58 am

hahahaah that is ummm sooo me!!! :)

28 amy tangerine 02/04/2011 at 11:15 am

hilarious!

29 Marilyn 02/04/2011 at 11:43 am

You are too funny! If I had a better camera, I’d be photographing more when I eat out too lol! Now I want Krispy Kreme, it’s been soooo long since I’ve had it. :)

30 Jessica 02/04/2011 at 11:46 am

Hahaha this is too cute :)

31 Beth @ the Modern Home 02/04/2011 at 12:11 pm

Ha! So true! I’m now going to think of myself as a life tourist.

p.s. I’m glad I’m not the only one who wears sparkly nail polish! Love it!

32 Carly 02/04/2011 at 12:18 pm

hahah.
this post reminds me of the boyfriend…
“are you going to take a picture of this and blog about it? derp derp.”
it kills me.
but… i guess it’s kinda try!

33 Bonnie 02/04/2011 at 1:07 pm

Oh Dear, I found your blog through SrslyLiz, and I am in love! This post is too true/hilarious. <3

Hope you are having a great day!

xx Bonnie

34 melina bee 02/04/2011 at 1:13 pm

ahahahaha. I am a life tourist.
cute nail polish.

35 Gali 02/04/2011 at 1:35 pm

The life tourist part is so true!

36 lauren 02/04/2011 at 1:49 pm

i know everyone has said it… but this is hilarious and so true! thanks for pointing that out… and taking pictures of yourself demonstrating. love it:)
you’re killing me with that donut. i want one now!

37 JeanCarl 02/04/2011 at 2:29 pm

Ah! This is so true.

Here are a few more:
- Will position oneself wherever is necessary to get the perfect shot.
- Becomes so distracted by one object that surroundings are ignored.
- Bystanders find them so curious and ask what is so interesting about a tree stump.

38 Danielle Hampton 02/04/2011 at 2:38 pm

New reader here! I loooved this. So true. It definitely made me giggle.

<3

39 ellen 02/04/2011 at 2:58 pm

your shameless selfie is so cute – made me laugh. and your nails are awesome! love love love the last two photos

40 rose 02/04/2011 at 3:16 pm

love it, \life tourist\. i must admit i knew i hit a new high when i sneaked a self portrait with my diana in a packed hairdressers on thursday!

41 Connie 02/04/2011 at 4:09 pm

You just described me to a tee! Hilarious! It’s bad when everyone you hang out / work with pause before they eat anything because they know they’ll get yelled at if they touch it before I take a picture.

42 Anna 02/04/2011 at 4:12 pm

this made me laugh because it’s totally true!! The multiple cameras, the taking photos of everything (and thinking “hmm, this is totally going into the blog…”), but the taking photos of self is a tricky one. Well I take photos of my own feet a lot, I guess that counts? :)

Have a great weekend!

43 Ashley 02/04/2011 at 4:53 pm

This is too adorable! I always feel like such a nerd taking pictures in public… but who cares.

44 bella 02/04/2011 at 4:59 pm

darn cute nails!

45 Moorea Seal 02/04/2011 at 5:37 pm

hahaha so awesome, so cute.
im too embarrassed to bring my camera most places…im shy about any attention possibly being directed my way by whipping out a big camera!
xo. Moorea

46 Lindsey 02/04/2011 at 10:05 pm

hahah so true! i love your nails, btw!

47 giozi 02/04/2011 at 10:16 pm

Ha ha ha you looks so cute. Wow your nails.
Pretty smile too.
Kisses

48 graziella 02/04/2011 at 10:54 pm

Haha such a cute post! And you’re so cute!

49 Little Monarch 02/04/2011 at 10:55 pm

haha this is great.

50 Kristi 02/04/2011 at 11:47 pm

Katrina…you crack me up! It’s all so funny because it’s all so true!

51 Katrina 02/04/2011 at 11:56 pm

your comments gave me the giggles — thanks! :D

@tina @eadaoin: the nail polish is called “happy birthday” by deborah lippmann.

@rhianne @gabby @ashleyTIA @carly: my dining companions have grown patient with me, thank goodness

@kat: they have a pb donut? oh dear me, i gotta go back for that one ;)

@anna: yes, feet count, i say :D

52 rae 02/05/2011 at 6:03 am

53 celine 02/05/2011 at 8:23 am

hehehe! you are really cute! and this is very true!
I LOVE your sparkly nail polish!!
have a great saturday!

54 Francine 02/05/2011 at 10:28 am

HA! I love the name life tourist :) My friend and I always get into trouble in restaurants in France taking photos of everything. People just don’t understand us. lol

55 alely 02/05/2011 at 10:51 am

love this post! i always get that she’s crazy look when i break out with my camera in restaurants and taking pictures of food. the waitress kept laughing at me when i kept taking pictures of our anniversary dinner at Ruth Chris Steakhouse.

56 Allison 02/05/2011 at 10:53 am

You are TOO cute! These just brightened my day. I would add, you can always spot a blogger because they can’t walk two feet without stopping to take a photo of…just about anything. I love it though because I feel like it just means we’re more observant of our surroundings. Don’t you think? :)

I’m going to SF for a few days TOMORROW and I’m soooooo excited. We’ll see how long it takes after this visit before I just move there. You are so lucky to live in such a cool city :)

57 Lisa (sideoats + scribbles) 02/05/2011 at 11:36 am

Hi Katrina! I am finally getting back into the swing of things after a business trip to LA, and I gotta tell ya how much I love coming here and visiting you! Your blog totally makes me smile, every single time! Love that donut, yum! Gotta show this to my hubby, he will agree 217%! (It always cracks me when people put %’s above 100, ha ha!)

58 Christy 02/05/2011 at 7:32 pm

I love this post. :)

That’s just the way to LIVE life. Through the eyes of a blogger,er life tourist everything is fresh, fun and exciting. Life tourists, unite!!

63 Diana 02/07/2011 at 10:51 pm

64 Alice 02/08/2011 at 2:14 pm

I love this a lot!

65 Chickything 02/08/2011 at 2:52 pm

I am so guilty!

66 La 02/08/2011 at 4:25 pm

I laughed so so much when I read this. I am so glad I am not alone in this!!!
I always take pictures of my coffees and foods or even a sign I happened to pass and think is pretty. I was beginning to think people might think I don’t get out much..or was a bit crazy.

So..I am very happy to know that every blogger must look a little crazy..but actually we are all thinking “That would be an interesting blog post.”

hehe. love. it.

Your blog is so useful and just amazing. When I first got a blog you were my first link on my inspiration and you will remain their forever!

67 Starlet 02/08/2011 at 4:42 pm

You are hilarious and so spot on!

68 Che 02/09/2011 at 9:44 am

* stays up WAY past the normal “sleep time” just being sucked into the internet
* gets excited by fonts and pretty backgrounds and photoshop actions
* wastes excessive time collating inspiration boards and bookmarks and blog lists….

i LOVED this post!! :)

69 Betty Scandretti 02/10/2011 at 7:12 pm

So true, Katrina! This post really made me chuckle.

Thank goodness for partners and friends who understand when the notebook and camera come out before we can relax and eat…

70 Felicity 02/11/2011 at 10:51 pm

True, true and true.

Loving your nail polish.

71 amber renee 02/13/2011 at 9:51 am

just looking through your cute blog and read this post, i love it. so true! people are always asking me why i photograph everything, haha.

72 das Sushi 02/14/2011 at 1:49 am

I’m trying so hard to *become* one of those darn bloggers. Lol I get so self-conscious about taking pictures of shops and food. I like the description of life tourist. What an excellent way to think about it! Maybe that will help me get over myself…

73 vanillapetal 02/15/2011 at 11:17 am

that is toooo true. the boyfriend is always on at me about photographing every little bit of my life. from now on i have the perfect come back- don’t mock me. i’m a life tourist.

74 Erica B. 02/16/2011 at 9:49 am

Love this!!
