#bbloggers visitors for February 5, 2012

Want me to check out your blog? Then leave a link here (post only open for 2 days) and over the next week I'll go visiting. As an extra plus, any other visitors from #bbloggers can also see links collected in one place. (Beauty/fashion blogs only, please. If you blog primarily about cooking, crafts, your cats, gaming, or anything else, your link won't be listed here. You can comment on just about any other post - but real comments, please not drive-bys.) I'll visit your blog a few times, and when I've decided that I want to keep visiting regularly I'll add it to my blogroll. (After last week's chat, I added five to my regular rotation. It usually takes me a few weeks to decide if I'm going to add someone to my blogroll or not - so if I don't add you immediately, it's nothing personal. Everyone has a different style of blog that they prefer to read, and a different style of blog that they prefer to write.)

If you'd like to start following my blog, choose whichever method that works best for you: my direct RSS feed, Facebook, Google Reader (you'll have to add me manually), Google+, Twitter, Bloglovin, Pinterest, and more.

Some information is right in the comment link; but leave me some more in the comment itself. Let me know:

• your Twitter handle
• your Pinterest name (or if you want me to send you a Pinterest invite!)
• what's your most recent new beauty purchase? That is, a new-to-you item, not a refill of an eyeshadow, or a replacement for your now-empty foundation

News Roundup for week 19, 2011

We actually had nice weather last weekend. And it’s happening again this weekend!! However, my family is vacationing in the Sierras, where it’s going to snow. In May. Yes, really. I’ve actually had to break out the serious sunscreen the past few days; but it’s been nice to have the warmer weather!

5 Things: Friday, February 18 2011

...or as I also call it, the Beauty Blog Friday Five. Long ago, back in 2003-ish, I regularly participated in the Friday Five blog meme (before it imploded, then morphed, then imploded again, then morphed again...and is now apparently active in another iteration.) I don't know whether this is going to be a regular feature or not, but it's kind of a cool way to get quick inspiration at week's-end. Go check it out. You can answer the questions on Phyrra's blog or your own blog - just be sure and link back, if you answer it on your site.

Beauty Blogger Challenge: week seven

Shatteredshards kicked off 2011 with a weekly beauty bloggers’ writing prompt/challenge.

Want to find out more? Check it out!
