Blog Inc. Blogging for Passion, Profit, and to Create Community by Joy Cho of Oh Joy!

 

I'm sure most of you out there have heard of this book. I've seen it online for a long while now and after taking a quick look at the cute trailer for it I decided I must have it. I would say it was fate as it was the last copy left at the bookstore. I don't think I will ever regret buying this. While I know there are no definite set rules to blogging, I think its safe to say this is the blogging bible. It has calmed so many nerves and answered so many questions that I had concerning how to move forward with your blog. 

I would recommend this book to anyone looking to start a blog, anyone that is currently writing a blog, and most definitely some of the bigger beauty and fashion bloggers who could do with some improvement despite their popularity. It covers everything: from what sites you can start your blog on, to how to handle negative comments and utilize social media, to explaining how to make money from your blog from things like ads. Depending on where you purchase it the cost varies from around $11 - $16, which is a great price I believe. 

Have any of you read Blog Inc? What were your thoughts on it or what did you feel you learned the most about?

Dress/Tights/Both Necklaces/Cardigan: Forever21

Biker Jacket: American Eagle

I actually dressed nice for work yesterday. I assumed I would be freezing cold partly because it is usually cold at work and partly because this dress is a super thin summer dress to be honest. But surprisingly I felt fine all day. I've also been trying to wear more jewelry, usually I never wear any, so I was really proud of myself for layering these two necklaces. I am so impatient for spring and summer and more dresses and not having to wear three pairs of tights under them so that I don't freeze to death. 

And I figured we should have a proper introduction to the love of my life:

This is Levi, who I usually just call Cat or Baby Boo. He is part Siamese and was abandoned by his mom on a boat as a kitten almost 9 years ago. So I scooped him up as my own and we have been inseparable ever since.
