Hello, My Beauties!

I wake up and wait to attack the post man for my packages! haha, I think he is afraid of me now :) Anyhoo, I decided to start filming whats in my mail box videos on my YouTube channel, so you can see in initial reactions and unboxings of the products I receive.  I hope you enjoy and dont forget to subscribe to my channel so you don't miss a what's in my mail box video :)

WHATS IN MY MAIL BOX

This is  a  tutorial on the look I wore in this video.

Taking a break, some me time.

Hello, My Beauties!

I know I have been MIA from the blogging world for a while and to tell you the truth their has been no special reason other than I just plain needed a break. The crap has been hitting the fan and my wits were at an end. so I took a break, from posting and such. While on my little break I was noticing my skin was getting really flaky especially on my legs, so I went to Rite-Aid and picked up a few things. 

Blog, Comments, Views and Subscribers. Are they really that important?

Hello, My Beauties!

I am sitting here face unwashed with not an ounce of coffee, because I had to share something with you, that I feel is very important to us as bloggers. Comments! Yes we want our little nuggets of advice and our views read and and responded to, but are comments really that important to our blogs? Actually no they aren't. 

Blog, Comments, Views and Subscribers. Are they really that important?

They have no value to our blogs rank on any search engine ever, the only person they benefit in anyway is the person commenting, because they can leave a link behind if they choose to do so. What is important however is the view count or how many visits your blog gets. Think about this for a moment. How many websites are out there that get millions of views, but not a single comment?

For instance. lets look at Amazon.com Only after a purchase to you actually comment on this site if you choose to do so. Another big name site is Sephora.com, yes a lot of visits, but not as many comments.

Think about this for a second. The only people who are actually commenting on your blog post are other bloggers and they are just as busy as you are! Yes they are nice and they let me know that I am doing something right, but they aren't what I am going after. I want a high view count and subscribers.

A high view count and subscribers is what will help your blog grow more then anything else out there. 

That's where quality blog posts and helpful content come in. 

Always try to be helpful or give some type of advice in every post.
Review anything and everything within your niche.
Subscribe to other blogs, comment, etc. and if they are human they will return the favor.
Blogging is a very Karmic thing, what you give is what you receive.

So if you aren't bombarded with comments don't feel bad, look at your view count. 

Thats whats important here. And thats what gets your blog out there. The comments will come, right now just concentrate on people hearing or reading your content.

How to get inspired as a blogger.

Hello, My Beauties!

I have been blogging for a while now and even though I haven't been blogging for a whole year yet, I feel I have learned a lot, made new friends and many times have run out of things to blog about. I have reviewed pretty much anything worth a post in my personal collection and I don't receive products that often from PR companies, so I have a lot of space in between posts where things get kinda dry around here. Once again I was inspired with you in mind and wanted to share with you how I get inspired to write a post.

As a blogger I do visit my Google Analytics pretty often and watch my real time overview. this can get pretty boring as  there are dry spells when nothing happens. What I have found out though is that my most popular post are the ones geared toward helping my fellow bloggers.

How to get inspired as a blogger.

Blog Hopping

Many times I sit and stare at my screen and ask what the hell am I going to write about today. I look over my stash, my skincare routine and discover I have been there, done that. The main way I get inspired is to go blog hopping, I have been inspired by so many bloggers, most of my posts come from their inspirations. 

I never know where or how lighting will strike, its usually where I least expect it, but I thank God It happens hehe :)

Magazine Sites.

This is where you can find out what's happening, trending or just  plain going on in the world. This is where I get a lot of ideas from, not in a copy format, but more like a response to the article or my take on the matter.

These articles are great for composing lists of trending topics.

Blog Forums.

There are many sites where you can see what other bloggers are talking about and doing on their blogs. I can't lie, I just skim other these and never really get involved in the conversations, but they can be very inspiring. I do not reply to the conversations, because my blog post will become my reply.

I do have a blog that is dedicated to more posts like this Interwebschic.com

So if your in a rut and can't get a single word typed up, go get inspired :)

DON'T GIVE UP

Hello, My Beauties!

Today I want to touch on a subject that hits every one of us every so often, especially in the blogging community. Discouragement. It hits us when things don't go as planned, when we don't get visits,  comments or likes on our instagram photos. So today I want to tell you with a big loud voice, 

PR COMPANIES AND PRODUCT REVIEWS

Hello, my beauties!

Today I am a little ticked off. I recently received some products to try out for review and even though the product went well enough I guess. I am ticked off about the size or the amount of product. 

Don't get me wrong I love my samples, But I feel samples are more for clients and customers, not beauty bloggers.  Any beauty blogger will need at least a two weeks worth of product to give a good honest review.
