Beauty Fool on Facebook!

March 8, 2010   in Site News

That’s right! I’ve made a page for Beauty Fool on Facebook, so if you’re one of the gazillion-million people who’ve signed on Facebook, please feel free to join!

I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner, because I feel this could be a place where we can interact the most and create a real community. So feel free to get involved as much as you’d like – think of it as an online forum… Post pictures, start up discussions, show off your own blog, make suggestions for Beauty Fool; whatever you like, I really don’t mind (as long as it isn’t anything insulting/dirty!). I want to make you all a big part of the page as well. And if you could invite your friends too I would be eternally grateful. :)

If you have any ideas for the page, please let me know as well. In the meantime, click here to join the Beauty Fool page, and I’ll see you there! :D

Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2010   in Site News

“The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.” — Rick Warren

Happy Valentine’s Day to my wonderful readers! I know some might think V Day is totally dumb – but it doesn’t hurt to remind our loved ones how much we really love them, right?

And whether you like it or not, you are all my special Valentine date this year! :D I hope you’re having a wonderful day with loved ones, (and for those who celebrate, Gong Xi Fa Cai!). I’ll leave you with one of my favorite love quotes….

There are only a few things I aspire in my life: wear makeup and write about it. (OK, not really, but you get the point.) And that’s where Beauty Fool came in, so it’s also a dream of mine that maybe someday my little blog will go places….

And I am beyond ecstatic and feel so blessed to tell you that one of my dreams came true today!

Beauty Fool has been recognized as a top beauty blogger and has been featured in a BOOK, (squeal with me!) one by future dermatologist Nicki Zevola, titled Fabulous: All About 50+ Top Beauty Bloggers of 2010.

Can you tell I’m excited? No??!!!! I am so grateful for this opportunity and would personally like to thank Nicki for this great honor. Of course, I would also like to thank anyone who has ever visited Beauty Fool and making my dreams come true – there is nothing more I love than to be blogging, all day and night. Thank you for willingly coming back to visit and taking the time to read my crazytalk! I am really blessed. :)

Fabulous: All About 50+ Top Beauty Bloggers of 2010 is the exclusive insider’s guide to major beauty blogs. Whether you are just beginning or already have a successful beauty blog, this book features can’t-miss secrets of the beauty blogosphere, including:

  • The first thing readers look at on your blog
  • 10 steps to guarantee success on your beauty blog
  • The 5 biggest mistakes novice beauty bloggers make

  • Why beauty blogging is an integral part of the beauty business
  • How to maximize your blog’s earning potential
  • Exclusive profiles of 50+ of the top beauty bloggers of 2010
  • And much more!

I got an e-book version of the book back in early December (yes, I’ve had to keep this in me for so long … torture!) and it has finally been released in a soft cover book version.

Also – if you love beauty blogs as much as I do, do pick up this book by Nicki. She’s a sweetheart and I encourage you all to support her! You can purchase the book in the following formats:

  1. Purchase in e-Book format, US$11.95;
  2. Purchase in paperback book format, US$14.95;

Thanks, guys! The book has some great blog secrets as well as beauty tips and blogging secrets from all your favorite beauty bloggers. I also discovered some great new blogs and saw photos of many beauty bloggers – I never knew how some of them looked look and of course, they are beautiful. :)

Merry Christmas to all my dear readers! I hope you all have had a great year and a very happy 2010. I really can’t believe how fast 2009 went by, and want to thank you for reading and supporting Beauty Fool, it really has been a blast! I hope you all have a wonderful time this season with family and friends. Amidst all the gifts, Christmas trees, stockings and four servings of ham (guilty…), let us not forget the true meaning of Christmas.

Have a blessed Christmas, my friends! :D

Now that it’s December (wooooohoooo), 2010 is drawing closer and closer to us. Which means a brand new year for all of us – even Beauty Fool!

I want to have this post up and running while I take a little Christmas break to collect your thoughts and suggestions for BF.

Some questions I’m interested in for feedback are…

  • What topics would you like to see more of?
  • What type of posts are your favorites?
  • What posts do you like the least?
  • What do you think of the design? Does it give you a headache or does it bore you? Is navigating around BF easy or a real struggle?
  • Someone suggested through e-mail about a forum/message board area of some sorts. Would you be interested in that? Would you like more community based features, and if so, any ideas?
  • What do you think of me as a blogger? Are there any areas you would like me to improve in? (I welcome all constructive cristism but I do have feelings, play nice!)

So many questions! I know it’s been a bit quiet this month but December this year is extra stressful for some reason - more on that later. I’ve written a ton of posts that I want to save for the new year, as well as some exciting news to share!

Basically with this post I’d like to know how you think BF is going and if you have any feedback and suggestions so we can start 2010 of with a BANG! Feel free to write about anything you want, it doesn’t have to be only the questions I asked above. Thanks so much in advance and I’ll speak to you soon! Happy holidays everyone. :)

My awesome reader Sunmom (hi!) recently told me about Beauty Fool being featured as a top beauty blogger on Skincare News, but I thought she was talking about the Top 50 Blogs on Beauty and Skincare list they did earlier this year.

I double checked, and it seems like Skincare News has written a brand new list (‘top 100 beauty blogs’ this time), and Beauty Fool has been featured once again as a top beauty blog, underneath the category ‘Younger Beauties’!

Check out the rest of the list: Top 100 Beauty Blogs

As always, I am honored … Thank you Skincare news for remembering me – I am smiling like an idiot over the nice things you wrote about Beauty Fool! And thanks to Sunmom for letting me know. :)
