how to get better at blogging: 5 tips

1. don't be afraid to post about yourself.  i know sometimes i can be really afraid to post about myself and i am not sure, but it is always better to post about yourself because nobody knows more about you than you, and nobody has your face.  post your face as often as possible because people like seeing it and especially if it is drinking coffee, mmm, or wine

2. do a good design.  a good blog design is important to making people stay at your blog and making them come back to look at your blog again later.  the main elements of design are: blog platform (like blogger or facebook), fonts, your header, colors and social media icons and your about me photo.  one of my favorite fonts is: http://www.identifont.com/samples/itc/Papyrus.gif because it looks kind of like old but also it is classy .  picking a good font is important.  then you should make your header like:

3. always address your readers, and end your posts with a question to your readers.  your readers like to feel appreciated and listened to, so you just have to ask them questions so they think you are interested in them.  its not necessary to reply to your readers if they comment because remember that you are the blogger and they are just the readers, you dont have time to respond to them all the time because you are busy blogging, but you should invite them to tallk with good questions like 'what did you think of the things i said in this post? what are your top five reasons for coming back every day to read my blog and share it with your friends?"

4. comment on other blogs. if you find a blog that has more followers than you you should try to comment on it a lot and leave your link there so other people can follow your blog too.  you dont need a big comment just something simple like 'cute' since most things bloggers post are cute, but dont forget to leave your link because that is the most important part.. you might want to tell people to follow you too, because sometimes they dont think of clicking on the link themselves

5. post sponsor buttons to big popular blogs in your sidebar. your readers and other bloggers will see them and think that you are cool like those bloggers and they might ask you if they can put their sponsor ad there too which is good because then you can start making money from your blog which is the main goal.. also then companies will think you are a popular blog and start sending you free cute pants, bags nail polish you name it!

Whew, im back

hi everybody, well, im back, and better than ever lol.  i just didnt feel like blogging for a while, life was too intense.  you know sometimes when you feel like your caught up in some kind of giant machine and you long for some kind of reason but youre left feeling abandoned in an absurd universe? i felt like that after work, and had to spend an hour with a can of cold beans and a book to feel better....

speaking of which i have been reading about the illuminati and omg i thought it was crazy. but maybe two crazy?  i knew abt the illuminati & rapp stars, but apparently grandmothers are now also part of the illuminati too, which is kind of scary like most grandmothers look just like this guy aleister crowley

wtf roflmao a goat? so cute

anyway this week i have been extremely hungry, i dont know why...  sometimes i just get really hungry so ive been treating myself to sour patch kids and my favorite root beer donuts :-)))  and i so much want a starbucks christmas drink right now but i already had a couple today and it is late now so i cant

what is your favorite starbucks christmas drink?

twilight........bears

oh my gosh, twilight breaking dawn was actually so romantic...  i am sometimes ashamed to admit my twilight-love, but then at the same time i can't hold it in.  and of course the actors are so cute......

 i hope she writes some more books!  what is really interesting is how the story combines romance and vampire movies together and also so closely parallels the real lives of bears:

i wish i were pregnant :-)  do you think it could be jacob's baby? who do you think is cuter, jacob or edward?

i wake up, i make up, i take my time and do not hurry, i no longer need you

this morning i woke up with a headache and a sense of rebirth.  i decided that i would write about my favorite makeup products and maybe about the coffee i had with caramel syrup, yem!  (my new word for yum)

Yem

makeup.com posted the best lip exfoliaters, the best non-tinted lip balms, the best tinted lip balms, the best moisturizing lip colors, the best lip kits and the best lip loosening gels, and who am i to argue with makeup.com?

they picked bliss fabulips, kielh's lip balm, the lip scrub by sarah happ, baby lips by maybelline, giorgio armani lipstick, vitamin e lip stuff by the body shop, lipstick by another company, glo minerals exfoliating lip wand (of course), yes to carrots lip balm, sonia kashuk stain luxe lipcolor with spf 16, nutritic levre lips by la roche pochay, etc. and the best part of all was that it was all so cute and i wanted it all!!  especially the baby lips by maybelline because of the name and the neon colors.

i wanted to review this bic click stick pen, too.  no offense to bic, but this pen isn't my favorite.  it's plain white and black and i think something sticky got spilled on it, so now it doesn't click anymore.  also the ball is stuck and doesn't write, so as awesome as bic is, this pen gets a thumbs down from me. :-(

i threw it in the trash after reviewing it

here's what i'm reading, by the way, lol so cool:
