I know this is super cliche and probably not what you want to hear but my best advice is to just be yourself and allow yourself to shine through your blog. I try not to focus on the number of followers that I have—which I know can be difficult sometimes—because I’ve found that what’s much more important is staying true to yourself. Too much concentration on follower count can just lead to blogging what you think others want to see, and that’s something that, at least for me, goes against what a blog should be. I gained followers more rapidly before I was a 100% personal blog, but now I really feel like my blog is a reflection of myself, much more than it ever was before. Anyways, I apologize for that rambling paragraph! And yes, I did create a Paypal account for Sigma :)
No problem, those aren’t stupid questions at all :) I don’t believe there are any rules or requirements to join the affiliate program—you can just go to their website and click “Join the affiliate program” on the left hand side. After you send in your info, you’ll get an email confirming or denying your acceptance within a few days. As far as getting kits to review/giveaway, you have to apply for that, and what you receive is based on how many blog followers you have. It’s all pretty much explained once you sign up though! Hope that helps.
I’m going to officially end the giveaway right before midnight on the 15th, then I will probably announce the winner on the morning of the 16th (;
Sigma sent the kit to me for free as part of their affiliate program, in addition to sponsoring the giveaway :)
Aw, thank-you so much lovely! That’s so sweet of you to say :)

heey i have an important question do sarah dessen books, go in chronological order?
like do i have to read the first one to be able to read the second one?
Not at all—they all take place at different times and are built around different characters with different plots, so you can read them in any order you choose! (;
Anonymous asked you:Do you have or have you ever had a boyfriend ? (:
I don’t have one, nope. I have before, but I’ve never really had a serious boyfriend, if that makes sense….I guess I’m still waiting for the right guy, as lame as that might sound!
A lot of the motive behind my numbers post had to do with the fact that I was in the same boat as you—I was SO nervous for my scores. I still think the scores are really very important, but this realization kind of hit me that even if I didn’t do as well as I’d hoped, it wasn’t the end of the world. But I was reaaallly, really nervous nonetheless, so I completely understand! I wound up getting a 5 on all three of the tests that I took, which was a huge relief & really exciting for me. I wish you good luck on getting your scores back—I’m sure you did amazing! <3
i hope you would have a previous themes page:)
Ah, I’m sorry, it’s nothing I ever considered doing before! But maybe I will start from here on out, so thank-you for the suggestion! <3
