Does this new blog design make my butt look big?
Although I crave change (hello new blog design) and I think it is important to take criticism and feedback constructively, there are a few things I do that I will never stop doing no matter what anyone says:
1. Using a crap ton of smiley faces / emojis
2. Abusing exclamation points (!!!!!!)
3. Getting way too excited over the small things, even if it means I occasionally get let down
4. Fan-girling out on other bloggers, celebrities, athletes
5. Stop watching the real housewives, no matter what any boy ever says.
6. Throwing glitter make it rain
7. Loving Disney World
8. Wishing I could pet giraffes every single weekend for the rest of my life
9. Using my period as an excuse to not go to the gym
10. Posting pictures of my dog(s)
11. Sleeping in my clothes
12. Drinking diet coke
13. Praying for an occasion to arise where I need to wear a cocktail dress
14. Being addicted to my cell phone
15. Feeling totally and completely self conscious in a swim suit
16. Getting irrationally excited when Passionfruit tells me I have a new ad awaiting approval
17. Dropping everything I'm doing for a party
18. Stalking Ex's on Facebook
19. Hoping someone will make me a bridesmaid one day (how is it possible I haven't been one yet?)
20. Shopping at Forever 21
Im right there with you on post of these!!!
ReplyDeleteit looks really pretty, your butt that is...not the blog :)
ReplyDeleteWE wouldn't want you to quit using :) or !!!!!... we wouldn't know whose blog we were on! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the new design! :) It's very pretty!
holy CRAP i love this. omg. like in love.
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS! Your new blog design is so lovely :)
ReplyDeleteYou can be my honorary bridesmaid!
I love the new design :-) And I've never been a bridesmaid either! I'm also not sure how that's possible. Always a bride, never a bridesmaid... wah wah.
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy!!
ReplyDeleteI think that is exactly the way the saying goes. I just wanna be required to wear a dress and be bossed around. Is that too much to ask?
ReplyDeleteWow girl! That's a change for sure. I like it tho! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't like to stalk their ex on facebook. lol We're all guilty of that and if you say you have never done it, you're guilty right then and there! lol
ReplyDeleteI'm also addicted to my cell phone. That's never going to stop.
yes! no more glitter! (for now)
ReplyDeleteI just can't HELP but look to see who or what they're doing!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the new design, Sarah. seriously in love with it. And I have no shame in wanting to be a bridesmaid at one point. My friends need to start getting married, already! :)
ReplyDeleteI know!!! What is the problem!?!? Just put a ring on it and lets get this show on the road!!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you :) :)
i love, love, love the new design!!!! it is so crisp and clean :) go you!
ReplyDeleteLove the new design even though I think you should throw in some glitter. Its not you without a little at least.
ReplyDeleteWe should be friends. (in a completely non creepy way!!!) I'm right there with ya on pretty much every single thing on this list! :)
ReplyDeleteOh pretty, pretty!!
ReplyDeleteOh just wait, soon ALL of your friends will start getting engaged and you'll be in a wedding every year and then they all start getting pregnant. It's the cycle of showers that NEVER ends. So buckle up!!
I really like that couple in the background of the picture! And I am loving the new design!
ReplyDeleteIt was a REALLY classy club, clearly. The floor lit up for pete's sake!
ReplyDeleteOh i'll pass on the pregnancy. Just the weddings. I'll duck out when it comes time for pregnancy showers!!
ReplyDeleteUmmm OK! HI new bestie! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you are right. I'll find a place for some glitter.
ReplyDeleteTHank you!! I just wanted to be like you!!
ReplyDeleteYou can TRY to escape it..muwhahaha...
ReplyDeleteyes yes yes. it looks SO very pretty!
ReplyDeleteGood thinking.
ReplyDeleteThanks friend!!
ReplyDeleteLove the new blog design. It doesn't make you Butt look big at all. If I ever get married again you can be a bridesmaid.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you should renew your vows soon then?
ReplyDeleteLove love the new digs, and I also do all of the things on your list. And I also have a million questions about this "Disqus" character. What the hell is it? Did you switch platforms? Can you still email respond to comments? Mind = exploding
ReplyDeleteI do not like disqus, Sam I am. I do not like disqus or ham. I don't think I am keeping it. YOU CANNOT email back and forth. This sucks. I just thought it would help with no-reply bloggers... alas.... this is too much work.
ReplyDeleteJust to say I really love the new layout...and I agree with at least 75% of these. [The other 25% I'll blame on being a Brit? Ha.]
ReplyDeleteI love your new design! And there are soooo many things on this list that I'm the same way about...diet coke...dog pics...the gym thing... And petting giraffes is a thing?!?! That sounds like the best thing ever!
ReplyDeleteOH girl. It is THE BEST THING EVER!! You can pet and feed the giraffes at the dallas zoo. Heaven.
ReplyDeletethanks pal! And that is ok, we don't have to agree on it all, I just hope you aren't too terribly offended by my mega obsession with !!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLook at your pretty new design! I'm glad you kept some glitter with your signature, it just wouldn't be the same without it.
ReplyDeleteLove love loving your new design! So pretttttay.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your new design--the layout of the "header" is great!
ReplyDeleteAnd-is it weird that I agree with every.single.one of your 20 things?! I feel like bloggers are always able to say EXACTLY what I'm thinking/feeling before I even knew I was thinking/feeling it. haha
Love you new design! Um... disqus does NOT agree with some of my computers that I use, so no bueno! But it has been cooperating lately, so yay!
ReplyDeleteGiraffes. Glitter. Diet Coke. Sleeping in your clothes. Dropping everything to party. We are soul mates.
Ohhhhhh it let you edit your comment??? That is a big plus, right?
ReplyDeleteThat's why we get paid the big bucks, right? Right?? Oh wait....
ReplyDeleteThank you, girlfriend!! :)
ReplyDeleteI know!! I think I should perhaps throw in some extra glitter here and there!
ReplyDeleteNever stop twerking
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! Yes. I won't.
ReplyDeleteLove the new design!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend!
ReplyDeleteadore the new design and a thousand times yes on not stopping shopping in F21, I always feel super old shopping in there but you can't beat their prices!
ReplyDeleteNew design looks awesome :) #10 : oh no , never stop doing .
ReplyDeleteNoor @ Noor's Place
LOVE the new design!
ReplyDeleteLove your new design!!
ReplyDeleteFirst, LOVE your new look pretty lady.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I agree with on about 98% of those that you listed especially 4, 7, and 12.
This list. For realz. Can't stop won't stop..cause we get down baby..we get down baby..ok, I'll finish the rest of the song in my head :)
ReplyDeleteI love the new design! I think it's easier to read and less clutter looking.. looks great!
ReplyDeleteI honestly love that place. I am one of those girls that enjoying digging to find the PERFECT outfit.
ReplyDeleteThanks girl!! And don't worry, I wont! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks friend!! :)
ReplyDeleteLets go get diet cokes in disney world.
ReplyDeleteI've had to stop reading the post title because I keep singing it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! That is exactly what I was going for!
ReplyDeleteLove the new design! It's so clean!! And I love this list; I might have to make one of my own ;)
ReplyDeletePlease do! I have a feeling that I will probably agree with your list too!
ReplyDeleteI'm divorce (THANK GOD) so it would have to be a whole new wedding.
ReplyDeleteI love it, but disqus freaks me out. Also, I do almost all of the above - except stalking exes. Mine are so dumb and boring and 2 don't even have facebook - lame.
ReplyDeleteDamn that looks good! And I have to say I'm stoked you got Disqus - every time I stumble into a blog that doesn't use it I feel like I'm in Brave New World or something.
ReplyDeleteholy shaz i lovvvee the new design!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this new design!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks friend! :)
ReplyDeleteI am unsure of it so far. There are some big plusses to it, but some minuses as well. Trying to decide if I want to keep it!
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean no facebook? Like no facebook on Sundays?
ReplyDeleteNot at all!!!!!!!! Ha.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite partial to addingggg extraaaa letters which people find annoyinggggg.
The "New Ad Awaiting Approval" email is so exciting to see! Makes my heart jump!
ReplyDeleteYes!! I get so excited to see who wants to come sleep over at my place! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the new blog design and can totally relate to a vast majority of your list above.
ReplyDeleteAmen to the housewives!
ReplyDeleteOh I really love it AND that you incorporated Disquis over the damn blogger comment system. The color scheme is damnnn good. I almost don't know you without all the gold, but I will adjust :)
ReplyDeleteI love your new layout! Also that list is pretty much my life.
ReplyDeleteI stalk my ex's sister for any famiky get togethers and another ex's wife. (She's really nice and I knew her before he did.. lol) I'm happily married, but you can't get rid of all of the crazy... :) I'm always all about the simple smiley face. That way people know I'm being nice, in case it was hard to tell in writing!!
ReplyDeleteI was my sister's maid of honour, but that doesn't count!! I want to be in an old friends' wedding someday! (My chances are looking grim..)
And my answer is, no your bum looks great.. ;) Oh yeah, winky smiley face is also one of my fav's!
Love the new design! I swear we almost the same person!!!! :) :) :) ha
ReplyDelete& Forever 21 should just change their name to 'Forever' because that's how long i'll be browsing the racks. :p
I like the way you've cleaned house! I agree with so many of these. Especially #7. Mickey is my homeboy.
ReplyDeleteThink I would cry if anyone told me I had to stop shopping at Forever 21, that or defriend them. (Obviously) && diet coke, umm get in my belly! Stuff is like crack.
ReplyDeletexo. Kailagh
New design looks great!!
ReplyDeleteThe new design looks great. As long as everything is functional, do with your page whatever pleases YOU (take a page from Mark Zuckerberg's book, he couldn't care less that we don't like the updates, because we know we just love Facebook and will get used to it eventually and move on). :)
ReplyDeletexo,

I like it, I like it, I take that back I love it! I really really do.
ReplyDeleteBut what in the heck is this comment thing. I don't like it, I don't like it. I really really don't.
You can be one of my bridesmaids! :D .....did that sound creepy?
ReplyDeleteStay true to yourself ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the new design!
Love the new design and I completely agree with everything you said. I only drink diet coke when there is alcohol involved, but apparently alcohol with diet soda gets you drunk faster. So it's win win right?! ;)
ReplyDeletelove the new design though it is distinctly sparkle-free. i will also never stop using a ton of emojis and exclamation points. or posting a million photos of my dogs. duh. what's the point of pets if you can't annoy people with tons of photos of them?

ReplyDeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteawww thank you!! This was such a sweet comment, I really appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. I don't think I like it either. I'm trying to figure out my thoughts on it still..
ReplyDeleteNO! I'm in!!! What colors?!? I look best in turquoise.
ReplyDeleteThanks friend!!!
ReplyDeleteIT DOES?!!? MIND. BLOWN.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you've never been a bridesmaid!!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteHow does she NOT have room? It's a castle! She needs to share.
ReplyDeleteGiiiirl don't tease me!
ReplyDeleteI know!! I think I saw it on R29.
ReplyDeleteHow funny that they used to be turquoise. you could have an excuse to go to socal ;) oh ps- you should totally go back to the regular comments
ReplyDeleteI think I agree with you no the comments. I'm giving this thing a week. Then it gets ditched if I still hate it. Right now, I hate it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the new design! HATE that you made me want to have my own blog redesigned...again lol. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAmen girl, Amen.
ReplyDeleteA) Love the new design. B)I always use my period as an excuse to not go to the gym. C)Being a bridesmaid is fun...but expensive.
ReplyDeleteI know?! Why won't anyone hook me up??
ReplyDeleteDOOOO IIIITTTTT!! I say it is good to change things up ever few months!
ReplyDelete:) Glad you agree!!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, the expense could get out of control, i'm sure!!
ReplyDeleteOh, girl, please don't tempt me...lol
ReplyDeleteOh hi... We're twins. But for real. I agree with every point.
