I Saw This Blog…
I frequently peruse blogs. Most of them are these gorgeous sites that update regularly, are stylish, and have interesting photos of cute things. They are usually run by young women of a similar age bracket to that of my own. I often desire the items they post. It’s embarrassing but they actually influence what I buy.
Except, I’m not like them at all. I obviously don’t have the skill to design a beautiful layout, I can barely manage a post a month, and when I do the content is of a questionable nature.
And on that note…
I recently stopped by one such blog and found this. A cute Valentine’s bear plate from Target. So adorable. I ran out and bought it right away as well as a plastic tumbler.
Unfortunately, the tumbler is cracked. Something which I must have overlooked in the store . You can actually see the crack running down the middle of the tumbler in the full sized photo. I’ll be returning it for a new one shortly I hope.
This has added to my collection of things I don’t really need from Target. Another can be seen in the background of the above photos .
Browsing blogs is so useful :joy:.
Paid Advertisements
Recently the Federal Trade Commission created rules that require bloggers to disclose paid endorsements for products .
I wish I had this problem but I don’t. I neither have followers nor have I received any money from anyone. I attempted to use sharesale.com to earn a profit from people following links to my site about specific products I like at Plasticland. I never earned any money so I just removed it. I still will likely post links of things I like from Plasticland and Mod Cloth… but I’m not an affiliate. I don’t earn any money. This site is solely supported by my part-time minimum wage job.
If you would like to help a poor starving artist/ blogger out you can purchase a crappy journal I put almost no effort into from cafepress.com .
What’s that? You don’t want my journal? (That’s okay, I don’t want one either.)
So, now that I’ve cleared the air about that. I must say I would love to get free stuff from the following websites:
- Sephora
- Plasticland
- Mod Cloth
- Anywhere clothing, electronics, video game, or makeup related…
The only problem being is that I’m honest and I will tell people if your products suck.
