A big thank you and Christmas presents

I wanted to say a big thank you to all my followers. I started my blog a few months ago as I didn't really have a "hobby" and I'm an absolute shopaholic. I also wanted a space where I could be held accountable for all my shopping and to force myself to finish up my makeup and skincare (for empties posts) and to review products as I myself rely heavily on other blogger's reviews before I buy anything.

I know that the majority of my followers started following me due to my giveaways. I wanted to say a big thank you for sticking with me even after the giveaways you entered had wrapped up. Whenever I do a post, my google stats show that the majority of you guys are reading my posts and I hope that you like them :) Let me know what I can improve on so that I can write better posts for you guys!

I want to say an extra big thank you to the people who actually comment on my posts. Whenever I read another blogger's posts, I always make sure to leave a comment with my thoughts and I actually bookmark the page so that I can go back and see if there are any replies from the blogger. I do this because I love to read comments on my blog and I'm sure that they love to read comments on theirs.

Now, I'm sure that I've mentioned a few times before that my family doesn't celebrate Christmas. However, I absolutely love Christmas... I work in retail and it's an insane time of the year. I love shopping and you can find amazing deals as most companies make holiday sets or discount their stuff like crazy!

So... I want to join in on the Christmas present buying fun and what I want to do is to send a small Christmas present to some of the people who consistently leave comments on my posts. I know who you are and I want to say a huge thank you to you as the comments are what motivates me to keep this blog alive :)

As I said earlier, Christmas is an insane time of the year so I'll update this post in a week or two and let you know if you're someone that I'd love to send a (late) Christmas present to. I need a little time to go shopping :)

Thanks again for reading my blog and you guys are amazing!

On a side note, can you guys please recommend me some bloggers to check out? :)

  1. What a nice idea, Jen! You're too kind. I've been loving some of your posts this year (the one about PriceUSA was a life changer). I read a lot of the blogs I follow at night and my iPhone doesn't always let me comment on people's posts. It's most temperamental! Either way, I'm loving what you've been posting and thanks again for the extras in the POREfessional that I bought. :)

    1. I love reading comments so I always try to leave them on other peoples blogs too :) I try not to do short "great review!" comments but long ones with my thoughts about their review :) I certainly appreciate those ones more than the generic "great job!" ones.

  7. Aww you're so sweet!

    I work in retail too and it's making me anti-Christmas... Those bloody christmas carols being played CONSTANTLY and christmas decorations leaving me feel like a vampire fresh out of a Twilight movie... But then Christmas comes along, and I fall in love with the holiday all over again.
