I love the pictures and the article has been written so well. It's really informative and I love how much depth you go into. Definitely if I were wanting reviews on Liz Earle I would give your sight a visit.

Thank you very much .

I was questioning whether or not I was writing rubbish, or whether anybody would bother to actually read it lol. I'll be honest, it took me 2 days to write it lol, not because im slow, but I thought about what I was writing and was giving my honest opinion. I also find it quite therapeutic to write about something I am enjoying using.

I'll definitely be keeping this up

I can relate to that as well. My advice would be to blog regularly and get into a routine too. Otherwise, if you're like me, you don't post for while and end up not posting for a month or so.

I can assure you that it wasn't rubbish at all, it was really good and insightful . I agree that it is therapeutic too, it's not like doing an essay for homework. I generally enjoy the posts i've spent a while over, as they convey thoughts better.

Keep up the good work, I'm following your blog too, so i'll receive any updates on it .

Hey ladies, I have a question!

You know that little avatar that you use on Google Friend Connect and it shows in people's Follower's Lists? Well, how do you change it? I really can't remember or figure out how

on your dashboard you should have an option to change your profile picture. is that what you mean?

No. The profile picture is different to the one you use as the small avatar that shows up in the Followers list of bloggers you are following. The latter of which is the one I want to change.

I did have a blog 2+years ago, but I got bogged down with uni work and completely forgot about it. Now that I am uni work free, and basically jobless (I work 6hours a week ), this will keep my occupied in the free time I have during the week.

Yea, I find spending time on a blog post seems much more informative than one that blurbs with one paragraph. It's not helpful to potential readers, and kinda a waste of time for the person who wrote it lol. I'm in the middle as I write for another blog, regarding my hair care.

I too am following you so I will keep an eye out for your blog posts

PS: Don't suppose you know the best way to circulate a blog?? . . .

PS: Don't suppose you know the best way to circulate a blog?? . . .

I'm no expert by any means, but some of the ways I've been helping to advertise my blog:

- Having a link in my forum signature

- Having a link on my other online profiles, ie, Facebook, Triond, Twitter, Last.fm, etc

- Following/subscribing to other blogs; this benefits all parties in many ways, because not only do I receive updates of their great posts, I also increase the blogger's follower count (and thus their popularity), and I automatically create a link on their blog to my own Blogger profile and blog

- Taking the time to leave nice comments on other people's blogs, hopefully helps to attract the blog owner to my site as well as any of their readers who see the comment.

My blog isn't amazing or popular or anything, but these are the things I've been doing to help raise awareness of my own blog. I'm sure there are other ways too

For beauty blogs, giveaways are one of the best ways to do it. My gf has got a giveaway on pretty much all the time and it attracts a lot of traffic. Not all of it stays around, but some stick.

Like it. I think its important to put links to where you can buy things if you're talking about things you can buy online and you did that well. I've never used piz buin before, i usually use boots soltan for suncream and aftersun

Because you said ''I've been really interested in the blogs that i've seen on here''. So I quoted you with the one I saw, as I thought it might have been of interest to you, not necessarily the content.

Sorry to have got on the wrong side of you!
