Maureen Sytsma replied to Darlin' Mama's discussion 'Getting Reviews'"Thanks for the advice! I have done a review on something I bought for myself, and have another planned. And that's fine with me for now! I was just surprised at the lack of professionalism from these companies, who made an…"
Maureen Sytsma replied to Darlin' Mama's discussion 'Getting Reviews'"I wish I knew! I had a review/giveaway all confirmed with a company that I actually found through this site, and never heard another word. Contacted them to follow up about it, email never returned. Contacted another company that…"

Lara DiPaola replied to Maureen Sytsma's discussion 'Which holiday item are you excited to purchase?' in the group Makeup Mamas"I comb the weekly ULTA add like a crazed woman. Also I'm a HUGE fan of E.L.F (four kids puts a crimp in my makeup budget). I love the jewel tones of the season. PLUS the sales. I snagged a great flat iron on the cheap last week."
Jodi Shaw replied to Maureen Sytsma's discussion 'Do you get discouraged because other bloggers "Do it better than you do?"'"I try not to think about those things. I know that might sound silly but the way I am I would get too stressed out. I visit blogs regularly and try to learn as much as I can along the way, and I try to gear my blog toward honesty with my posts,…"
Joann McDaniel replied to Maureen Sytsma's discussion 'Which holiday item are you excited to purchase?' in the group Makeup Mamas"There are two things that I wanted to purchase this holiday season. My skin is very dry and I am looking forward to purchasing something new.
1) Christian Dior Magique Energizing Toner
2) Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream"
Angie replied to Maureen Sytsma's discussion 'Do you get discouraged because other bloggers "Do it better than you do?"'"I haven't read through the other posts but please don't believe that all those other blogs/sites are doing as well as you think.

Anastasia Borisyuk replied to Maureen Sytsma's discussion 'Do you get discouraged because other bloggers "Do it better than you do?"'"Yes, I definitely feel like that sometimes! I've already been blogging for almost two years and my following is not nearly as large as some successful blogs that have only been around for a year!
But I try to look at it this way, I don't…"
Susan Braun replied to Maureen Sytsma's discussion 'Do you get discouraged because other bloggers "Do it better than you do?"'"Interesting topic! Maybe I just have too much self-confidence or something, because honestly I don't find too many blogs that I feel are "better" than mine. "Get more comments" - yeah. "More popular" - sure. And…"
"I totally get caught up in the comparison game sometimes. But honestly I'm really lucky to be where I am and I have to try and focus on that. There are too many bloggers our there who are working full time (totally unrelated to…"
Heather Heinzer replied to Maureen Sytsma's discussion 'Do you get discouraged because other bloggers "Do it better than you do?"'"I used to, but now I've realized that I'm going to grow my blog my way. I've found that by writing from the heart my blog is growing much quicker than when I was blogging to a niche. I never would have thought that frugal green living…"
Show Me MaMa replied to Maureen Sytsma's discussion 'Do you get discouraged because other bloggers "Do it better than you do?"'"Well, I am not going to sit heer and say no, because I occasionally I do. But I see it as an encouragement for me to do even better. They inspire me that if they can do it, so can I. That's how I grow within the blogging world and most of all,…"
Anne-Marie Nichols replied to Maureen Sytsma's discussion 'Do you get discouraged because other bloggers "Do it better than you do?"'"All the time.
