Fashion Beauty Friend Friday

Well, lookey here! Hello from a coffe shop! I have joined Katy at ModlyChic's Fashion Beauty Friend Friday (FBFF).   The whole intention behind this is so fashion and beauty bloggers have the opportunity to share their thoughts on specific topics and get to know one another better. Each week there are questions posted that we answer and post on Fridays. How cool!! Thanks for starting this Katy!!  So here goes:

Blogger Authenticity 

1. Most readers and fellow fashion bloggers value authenticity in the blogs they read. How would you describe blog/blogger authenticity?

I like it when bloggers can share some things about themselves so you know they are Human. Like the quirky things that happen to them, the mishaps, the fat days, the bad hair, etc. And its also great to see bad outfits once in awhile, meaning people aren't trying to be super models, they are just wearing some creative concoction in their day to day lives (that sometimes go wrong LOL).

2. When it comes to your blog how to you infuse it with that true/ authentic feeling?
I HOPE my humour shines through! Gawd, I can only hope people understand my humour otherwise I am sure they would think I was weird... hmmm.. maybe thats why I only have 116 followers... and I like to make people smile. I know I look like a dork at times but can laugh and poke at myself and I like to share the little ideo-syncrities in life, the things that others can connect with and see that we are all real after all.

3. Have you stopped following a blog in the last three months? What made you lose interest?
Yes, there is one blogger in particular that I came across when I first started blogging. Hers came up in the google search so I went to her site and begin getting outfit ideas. As I read her blog regularly I just got so turned off by how much she was self promoting- like bragging up how great she was all the time... so all it took was one hit of the delete button in google reader, and POOF. She was gone.. geee, that would be a dangerous trick in real life!! LOL 

4. We can't communicate effectively on our blogs, something we don't live in real life... what are some ways you try to live an authentic life?
My number 1 motto in life is "Without Integrity, Nothing Works"- meaning, all there is to do is be true to yourself and others and the rest falls into place.

5. Give a shout-out... Which bloggers do you think are truly genuine and why?
Please, no offense to the many bloggers I absolutely LOVE, but for simplicity sake I am choosing one. Its a simple pink blog. Clean simple photos. Content is so REAL.You HAVE to go over and visit Ralph at Shybiker. I am totally inspired by the authentic sharing on a daily basis. I also love some of the really playful outfits!! Please do go and visit Shybiker, you are in for a treat!!
