So I’ve been stressing a lot about this the past several days, like can’t fall asleep at night because of it, but just so you are not surprised, I have 3 sponsored posts that will be posted within the next week. I’ve never had so many sponsored content on my blog before and never will have this many again in such a short time frame, but it makes me a little sick to my stomach that I’m just throwing out so many back to back. I don’t want to and now I know better, but I recently joined two networking companies that connect bloggers and companies together and got excited about all these opportunities and applied to the ones I was interested in, with companies and products I would actually use of course, which will always, always be the case. Well, little did I know that I was going to be accepted to pretty much all the ones I applied to, and they all happened to be due in the same week! Yikes! So when applying to these opportunities, it asks if I agree to post on a certain date if I’m approved and I clicked yes. So now that I got approved(more than I thought, other networking companies I get approved only sometimes), I have to keep my word and follow through. I believe it’s because it’s the Holiday season and these companies are eager to get their name out there. But it really is stressing me out and makes me sick to my stomach because no, I do not plan on posting so many sponsored posts ever again, and I don’t want this blog to turn into a for-profit blog. It sure is nice to make some money, but that is not the main reason why I keep this blog and never has been. So I apologize, and now that I know better, I will be way more picky and selective about even applying to these future opportunities. So I hope you don’t get turned off, I put a lot of thought into these sponsored posts in making it personal and worthwhile of your time and I will be putting up great content that is not sponsored as well, in between these posts. Thank you for your understanding and it’ll just break my heart if I lose any of my readers over this! Argh, I’m pretty upset about it! But thank you for your understanding and for reading my blog. I love going to your blogs and websites when you leave me a comment and getting to know you a little better, since I talk so much about myself on here, and I love finding out more about you! So thank you.

Hello anonymous,
I wish you would tell me who you are because you just made me feel so much better about this and your comment made me tear up! Thank you so so much for your sweet comment, and I am so happy to hear you enjoy my Sunday Best posts! I know they're not as professional as the other real legit fashion bloggers as in quality of pictures, and my awkward poses and my husband refusing to go anywhere else besides right by our front door so it's always the same background(hahaha), so I appreciate it so much. Thank you for reading my blog and I love you for making my day!
