Blog of the month

Featuring beautiful photography and lashings of inspiration, MyGreenCow is the blog
of 21-year-old Daisy Martin. Daisy is a savvy individual, not only having her successful
blog but also two online shops: one selling jewellery (Daisy Mae Jewellery) and the
other craft stash collectables (Cloudy Cow).
How did MyGreenCow come about? And most importantly,
how did you decide on the name?
I actually created my YouTube channel [before the blog] as a
