Blogging for Money is the ‘in’ thing

About six months ago, just during the time that I am conceptualizing this blog, three things were considered; its subject, its audience, and its profitability. The latter may sound so off the line, but for me it is an important factor because it is my way of gauging that I get something from my hard-work.

Of course a blog for money sounds so much better than blogging for nothing. Going with the flow, I guess blog advertising is just the ‘in’ thing these days. Advertisers advertise on blogs for easy marketing while bloggers get paid for blogging with the reviews they make.

Now Smorty is just one of this services that allows advertisers to be connected with bloggers. Well this is actually my third attempt for Fashion Re-View, and finally it has just got approved! I guess with a little effort and creativity, my blogging ‘career’ is just getting better. And for that, I say thank you to Smorty!

Strap It Off With Strapless Slippers

Yep, you read it right, strapless slippers. Well the first time I heard about them, I thought it was just ridiculous! And I still keep my opinion until now. But for fashion’s sake, let’s try to keep our love on Havaianas flipflops aside and take a look at this latest fashion footwear trend. – Strapless slippers.

I actually saw it first on TV worn by television host, Boy Abunda. In fairness, it looked pretty okay on him; although I don’t know if I would want getting myself one. But as a friend just told me, these sticky slippers are perfect for fashionistas who want to stand out and make a statement (some statement that is). And since it has no straps, they’re super comfortable plus you get to explore your creativity thinking what to do with those exposed feet (think of hena perhaps). Oh the possibility is endless…

So, are you ready to take on the spotlight? If so, you can contact vanessagorra@yahoo.com for your orders.

Let's do some recall...

Happy New Year everyone!

Well since it’s the first day of the year, let’s mellow down a bit from the usual “I love so” and “I so hate” lines out of various shopping or beauty products. After all, this blog isn’t just about that stuff.

The year 2007 has generally been a good year for me, with several ups and downs. I gave birth to a healthy, cute, and handsome baby boy, I got a lot of opportunities from pay per post sites, I got the job to do the celebrity fashion watch blog, and had a healthy year for me and my family.

Although I had my share of frustrations due to not finding a “real job” (depends on how you define that) I am just grateful that for the past year I had enough of everything.

Yes, it was a great year of the pig for me…but hopefully this year will be better for everything!
