I’m linking up with Bailey over at Blogtember again because this is something I’ve been meaning to post about anyway!
My 5 favorite bloggers!
I’m sitting here with Katie having a little blog work date (which are SO FUN, FYI…)
(real talk, that was last week. This week our table looks different)
ANYWAY.
We’re talking about this. And I was like “The thing is I have like ONE favorite blogger and then a bunch of friends.” So then BRILLIANT KATIE helped me figure out I should do a list of favorite bloggers WHO DON’T HAVE MY PHONE NUMBER. This means favorite bloggers that I don’t text.
Perfect. and so helpful.
Here we go.
ONE // MARY from EAT, DRINK & BE MARY
Duh. This is a no brainer. I absolutely ADORE Mary and her blog. So much so that when I was saying this, Katie knew right now that Mary would be on it. She’s the cutest and the best and I’m her #1 fan I don’t even care if that’s weird.
TWO // CAITLIN from SOUTHERN CURLS & PEARLS
I follow one fashion blogger. I find that fashion bloggers really make me feel like crap about myself. My hair isn’t as pretty, my clothes don’t fit as nice, etc. But I LOVE Caitlin. A few years ago Kristen and I were talking about people we follow on instagram and she was like “oh there’s this girl Caitlin” and I was like I THINK I KNOW WHO YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT I LOVE HER SHE’S MY FAVORITE!!!! and guess what? all of that is true. I love her, she’s my favorite.
THREE // KELSEY from THE BLONDER SIDE OF LIFE
Technically Kelsey NEEDS to have my # because then we could text when we’re trying on LC clothes at Kohl’s but YOU KNOW WHATEVS, TO EACH THEIR OWN! I can’t remember how I discovered Kelsey’s blog but I LOVE IT and I love her. My favorite thing is her Secret Blogger Club… as a fellow “never gonna be a big blogger,” I LOVE the heart behind it.
FOUR // BETSY from HEAVENS TO BETSY
Betsy was one of the first bloggers I found once I got serious about blogging, and I think she’s adorable. She runs a group called The Peony Project, which is how I’ve met a lot of my blogging friends, and for that I am SO GRATEFUL. Her blog is open and transparent and full of really beautiful pictures (which is my newest goal, btw. Beautiful pictures).
FIVE // MANDY from A GIRL, OBSESSED
I’m not sure how I found Mandy… maybe through Pinterest? But I absolutely ADORE her blog. It’s bright, clean and crisp. She focuses primarily on beauty but she also has some KILLER blog posts about blogging. For about two months, when I was trying to figure out what my blog was, I basically wanted my blog to be Mandy’s blog, haha. 🙂
 ps Katie is moving to Seattle THIS WEEKEND, and I am going to miss her so much. Seattle isn’t that far away (and I’m up that direction a lot anyway) but I’ll miss our blogging dates so bad!!! <3
NOW. On to the giveaway.
I’m teaming up with some a group of other bloggers (who mostly have my phone number and THAT is why they’re not listed up there) to give you $22 PayPal cash. Because… well, why not?
Actually. Susannah and I have been working on something super top secret this past month, and all of these ladies have been a part of a testing group for it. I’ll share more with you as we debrief our experience and unveil the final product. I’m so excited for it!
But until then. Here…. try your hand at $22 🙂
I want to go on blogging dates with you two! Ugh. So jealous. Is it weird that I was like, “WOO GIVEAWAY!” and almost entered and then remembered I’m part of it too? I refrained from entering. 🙂 Hahaha.
I did that on YOUR blog, Mattie! Heehee. And actually, seeing the giveaway on your blog yesterday reminded me that I needed to include it on MY Blog. 😉
Great list! There are so many great blogs to read!
Yay for new blogs to check out (andddd let’s be honest, probably fall in love with!)
Fantastic! You have a blogging buddy, I am jealous… hahaha… great list I will have to check out his bloggers.
I can’t wait to check these blogs out! I’m trying to talk some of my friends into blogging so we can have blogging dates because so fun!!!
I love so many things about this post! See it wasn’t so hard to pick 5 🙂 I could do a post like this I bet too! What is funny is that I have already checked out all of these blogs because of you. We will still have blog dates when I move. Or big blog dates even!
Oh my goodness you’re just the best thank you 😀 And we really should remedy this phone number thing huh. If only to text each other every time we go shopping. But who am I kidding, it’d turn out to be more than that haha
i love kelsey and betsy and now have a few more blogs to go check out!! 🙂
