This is the reason why I started blogging, as a way of sorting through my thoughts and to keep me mindful about healthy eating and exercise. Those are the kind of blogs I love to read and find inspiring. I've been lucky enough to follow some people for years and keeping up with their lives means a lot to me and I love reading about what's going on. To get that kind of peek into someone's life is a privilege and I often think about these ladies when I'm going about my day-to-day.
What I don't love is opening up my blog reader and seeing post after post which quite frankly, bore me to tears. For example...
- What's in my handbag
- Make-up reviews
- Holiday posts
- Weekend away/places to visit posts
- Product reviews
- How to...
And paid for product reviews? Okay, do it once or twice with something relevant to your blog, but not once a week. If I wanted to read an advertorial I would buy a magazine.
It's my own fault though, I'm following these blogs. I think it's time for a refresh. If there are any good blogs out there that you reckon I should take a swatch at, please do let me know.
I'm with you on this one, if I want reviews I'll go looking for them :) As for blogs to follow, if you find any good ones let me know, I need some new ones too! xx
ReplyDeleteGood rant hon. I must say my blog roll is getting smaller and smaller and I feel your pain. Several of my faves have just slipped away and I mourn their disappearance. I'm glad you're still around and doing so well. When I think back, well, it is a bit of a fairy tale isn't it??
