Amazing Advertisers || July 2013


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Despite the heatwave, the lovely ladies of the sidebar have been providing us with brilliant blog posts and giving us all something lovely to read.

Today is the day to learn a little more about them.




Made up By Make up is written by the lovely Kat who is new to Sprinkle of Glitter this month! Kat is an absolute beauty who has recently started her beauty blog and Youtube channel. This month I have particularly enjoyed Kat’s Hollywood glamour look (who doesn't love vixen red lips?) and winged eye liner tutorial, she’s a clever one with her make up tools I tell ya! I'm excited to see what tutorials Kat has up her sleeve to share with us in future so let’s all hop on over to her blog and show her some new blogger love!



This month Sarah has been a busy bee with her education and extracurricular activities and has therefore taken some time away from blogging, let’s hope she did swimmingly in her exams and shall return to us soon! Sarah has advertised with me previously and her blog has been a joy to read, if you enjoy reading a blog with photos that make you go ‘oooooh’ and ‘aahh pretty’ then Sarah is the one for you.



 I fell a little bit in love with Rosie’s blog back in October last year, and she has not failed to disappoint this month either! Her photography and writing style is right up my street and she’s also adopted her own “30 Day Snap”, posting a photo every day for 31 days (this excites me.) Rosie has also graduated from university this month so another big well done to her! If you’re a fan of the lifestyle blogs then Cider with Rosie is your go to.



Amy Grace is another returning advertiser with me, and once again her blog has been a joy to read! Amy has provided some lovely beauty and lifestyle blog posts this month, with a yummy cooking recipe thrown in there too! It was refreshing to read a post about playing in the snow this month given the heat wave we’ve been having here in Britain! If you’re in need of a cool down, hop on over to Amy! 



Cocktails and Daydreams is written by the lovely Lynne from Edinburgh, it’s a charming little space on the internet to read about all things fashion, lifestyle and beauty related. She’s a triple threat that Lynne! I particularly enjoy Lynne’s fashion round up posts of her June outfits, it was summery wardrobe heaven filled with florals, frillies and the most beautiful pink cardigan I ever did see. If you’re looking for a light lunchtime read then Lynne is your gal!



 Sophie has been advertising with me for several months now and is continuing to provide lovely posts for us all. Sophie is a consistent blogger offering a variety of beauty and lifestyle posts, including some summery cooking posts this month! I particularly enjoyed learning her recipe for blueberry crumble bars (yum!) She also completed the 30 Day Snap last month, so let’s have a hurrah for Sophie! 



Firstly, a lot of blogging congratulations are in order for Stacie this month! Not only has she recently celebrated her blogs 1st birthday, but she has also been shortlisted for a Cosmo blog award, well done you! Stacie has been a long term advertiser with me and I have thoroughly enjoyed following her journey over the last few months, she deserves a massive pat on the back for her blogging milestones and continuing strength through the highs and lows of being ill. Stacie’s blog is brilliant if you’re looking for a bit of positivity in your life. 


And those are all my lovely ladies for this month!

Amazing Advertisers || June 2013


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

This month I have been REALLY into blogs. I know that sounds crazy coming from a blogger but I go through phases. Some weeks I just stick to my trusted favourites and some weeks (like the past view), I actively hunt for new amazing reads to add to my list. I've found loads and many an evening has been spent gorging on beauty and lifestyle posts. Bliss!

Now though is our chance though to discover a little bit more about the wonderful bloggers nestled in the sidebar of this blog.

Amazing Advertisers

Let's Go!


Aside from the Scottish/English divide, Jen sounds freakishly like me- beauty obsessive, cat mummy and workaholic. This month Jen has taken part in the 30 Day Snap (more cat pics please!), written reviews, nail of the day's and celebrated her 300th post. Well done! I love that Jen posts regularly so that there is always something new to read when I click on. Full of humour and personality, a blog worth spending time with.



Georgie is a love and thus, her shop is a love too. Georgie creates/makes and sells hair accessories of every kind. From turbans to bows, glitter to knitwear, there is something for everybody. All products are reasonably priced and custom orders are accepted if you have something particular in mind. If you are looking to model or expand your photography skills, the FAQ page might be worth a read too.



Lynsey started her blog as a space to chat purely about beauty but before long, like me, realised lifestyle simply had to be infused into it. This month Lynsey has taken part in the 30 Day Snap which I have enjoyed her humour through- "My lunch in sepia. Doesn't get more wild than that". I have also been uplifted by her post about doing things alone. Going from a shy child to travelling solo round Australia really demonstrates what you can do if you put your mind to it. Big claps for this lady.



Amy is a beauty and lifestyle blogger who shares fun moments of her life (I want to go to a light festival dagnamit!), recipes (mmmm pasta) and beauty reviews. It pleases me no end to see that Amy has jumped on the YSL Shocking bandwagon and is loving the mascara as much as I do. A lovely little read for when you need a girlie pick me up, head on over :).



If there is one thing you do today, please let it be to read Danny's post on self confidence and developing your own style, it is truly inspirational. How often do you feel like you look rubbish or that people are questioning your style choices? Danny has written a well thought out and helpful guide to swatting those demons and positively adjusting your attitude. This blog is also beautifully laid out, interesting and varied. One of my favourites this month. 



Last month I talked about how much I love this blog and this month is no different. Tom has made me want to buy Matt a men's beauty box (with full sized products- woah, remember those days ladies?!), make DIY plant pots and scroll right through all his previous months, just because his photographs are all so gorgeous. This is the kind of blog you find 'sticky'. Once you click in, you want to stick around! A refreshing read.



Be still my beating heart, a lifestyle blog that is regularly updated, full of homour and hitting all the right spots in terms of blog etiquette (I'm a stickler for blog manners). Gargh how I love Charlotte's Web! I've been an avid reader for some time so it's always a pleasure when Charlotte nestles in my sidebar (ooer). This blog can't not have something you'll enjoy so just take my word, clear 20 minutes and read it.



Cor blimey Kerry is a fashionista to the extreme. Neons? Check. Floral crown? Check. If you want to see what is 'on trend' (don't know why I hate that phrase but I do), Kerry is your gal to go to. With clear, well shot photographs and comprehensive descriptions, Kerry's Lookbooks, OOTDs and lifestyle posts might be just what you need to get your wardrobe into gear. 



Stacie is on the organ transplant as she suffers from Pulmonary Hypertension. Stacie does not whinge or ask for a pity party, but candidly shares with us the highs and lows of being ill and waiting for something so crucial. She also throws in a big ol' heap of beauty hauls (I now want to go nail polish shopping) and fun life updates. If you want to feel inspired to live your life to the fullest, Stacie is your gal.



Sophie is automatically in my good book for three reasons- she lists 'entertaining' as something she loves in her bio, her middle name is Jane (same as Darcy) and she is doing the 30 Day Snap. As well as all of those lovely things, Sophie regularly uploads beauty reviews with clear pictures, good descriptions, a sense of personality and swatches. It's easy to tell that a lot of effort goes into this blog.


And that's your lot I'm afraid!


Advertising slots are limited and book to capacity every single month so if you would like to book yourself a slot, do go for it now to avoid disappointment. I've had a cancellation for next months Ultimate spot so if you would like that, please see the Sponsor tab uptop. 

As always these blogs have been a pleasure to feature and I would love to know if any of them are new or old favourites, who you liked best or who you'll be reading from now on. Let's share the love and give the Amazing Advertisers a bit of a boost :)



Toodlepip!

Amazing Advertisers || May 2013

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

I know I say this every single month but seriously, how quickly has this month flown by?!

This is our monthly opportunity to learn a little bit more about the bloggers and small businesses who are advertising this month with Sprinkle of Glitter. We're a friendly bunch after all. 

Amazing Advertisers



Bonnie is an American English Teacher married to a 'fine ginger'. Her posts are about her life and the journey she is taking through it. If you like posts that are lovely and long that you can just get sucked into and forget your own world for a few minutes, this is the place for you. Bonnie's writing is amazing and really enables you to feel connected to whatever she is talking about, even if it's tasteless hamburgers. 



Arm candy anyone? Oh me oh my these bracelets are just lovely. Brinkle has advertised with me before and made me swoon over their mix of colours with metals so I should be used to the lovelies by now. All items are reasonably priced to hop on over and take your pick!



Tom is a little love. That is all. Haha, no I jest. Zoe and I are just on Skype talking about him and saying how much we love his blog and YouTube channel and how creative he is. His blog is what I would call 'lifestyle' (WOOP!) and his pictures are just beautiful. The layout, content, images and feel of this blog are just a feast for the eye and you'd be a fool not to go right on over and follow him. 



I have read Gemma's blog for as long as I can remember, since the beginning of my blogging life in 2009 so she is no stranger to me and hopefully not to you. Her blog is what I would call a 'classic' beauty blog, perfect for girlie girls who want to learn a little more about specific items but also those who are just enthusiastic about beauty, fashion and shopping! Gemma is currently hosting a very generous giveaway so do hop over and check that out. Be quick though because it closes this Sunday!



I want to get lost in Imogen's blog. It is a beautifully laid out place to let your crafty, homey, feminine, creative heart run free and full to the brim of ideas and inspiration. In her 'about' section, Imogen talks of her love for Beatrix Potter and this just made me feel a little bit more in love. A girl who likes graphic design, bunnies, crafting and vintage- hello!!!



Emma has only recently come back to her blog after taking a few months off to pass her exams. She is now working in a local hair salon and blogging about her experiences. Although there are only a couple of posts to read, I can tell Emma is really girlie and has a great passion for all things beauty related.



If you're looking to learn more about a particular beauty topic (like how to deal with spots), then this is the blog for you. With factual, informative posts, you will come away feeling knowledgeable and confident in the topic you have read about. With subjects ranging from teeth to celebrity inspired tutorials and also a YouTube channel to check out, you should have plenty to keep you busy when you feel those beauty cravings pang! 



I'm cheating slightly here but really, Danny has summed this up himself better than I ever could- "Adventures After Hours is a lifestyle blog focusing on menswear and more importantly approaching fashion and style with a positive attitude. I promote adventures, individualism, and seeking happiness through everything you do." I love that. I always applaud people who tackle life with a positive attitude and love it when people, like Danny, want to share that with the world. This blog is well written, beautifully laid out and well worth a read, whatever your sex. 



Sophie is already in my good books because she is taking part in my 30 Day Snap project- YAY! Sophie's posts are that perfect kind for when you just need a little escape or a quick mind break from work. They are short (but not without effort), punchy and too the point. She updates her blog regularly and with interesting topics that if you like this blog, you will like hers. A really sweet slice of the net. x 


Jen has put all her thick cardigans away this month *she types as she watches the rain crash onto the window* because she loves to organise- Jen please will you come and do mine? Jen's blog is sticky. What I mean by this is that you'll read one post and then want to read another, and another and another. I particularly enjoy her OOTD's because they are clothes that I would wear and her Charity Shop Tips were really helpful too. Well worth a read. 



First of all, Amy has a tattoo of a whisk on her foot and I think we'd all like to know more about that! Second of all, this blog is charming. Amy is 19 and lives in upsidedownland- Australia! There are blog posts about beauty products (complete with labelled swatches) and life experiences (my all time favourite I think). A lovely little read and the perfect blog to flick through on a tea break. Have a looksie. 



Stacie is one of my long-time advertisers and I love having her. Her blog is about her life dealing with Pulmonery Hypertension and the trials and tribulations it brings her. From the months that I have been reading this blog I have learnt not to pity Stacie's suffering but to understand more about the condition, more about what it is like to have to attend so many hospitals and more about what it must feel like to be constantly waiting for organs. It is because of Stacie that I have decided to stop being a wimp about needles and give blood. Go read her and be inspired :)


Tada!! Those are my ladies and gentlemen (very excited to have boys this month) of the sidebar, who help keep Sprinkle of Glitter running and provide me with plenty of reading material at 1am in the morning when I know I should be sleeping- dagnam them for writing such addictive blogs!

Have you found any new bloggers this month? Are any of them old favourites?




Toodlepip!

Amazing Advertisers | | April 2013


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

How on earth do these months keep rolling by so fast? Soon it will be Autumn and I'll say, 'remember back in April...' haha.

As always, we have had some gorgeous blogs gracing the side bar this month and now is the chance to get to know them a little better and have a look around their slice of the net- they'd love to have you.


Large


This month my Ultimate advertiser has been Barbie and Pie and the first thing I want to say about her is- I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOUR TEETH AND HAIR. Ok, now that's out of the way, this blog is a little gem and I think it's going to do really well. I love how the reviews aren't super overload-you-with-facts but you still get all the info you need in a chatty-talking-to-a-pal way. I also feel that I can relate to this blog as the fashion posts are aimed at curvaliscious women like me with a deep love for skater style dresses. Since you have a spare moment (you must do if you're purusing the blogersphere right now, why not hop over and have a mooch for yourself. It's nice. 

Dana is a blogging WonderWoman (see what I did there?). Not only does she have a goooorrrgeous beauty and lifestyle blog, an amazing e-book, an ETSY shop and a blog design service, she now has an app (HERE). Is there anything this lady can't do? Her blog (and the rest of her online empire) is a visual delight so hop on over and check it all out. 


Blushing Appraisal is what I would call a 'classic beauty blog'. It offers individual reviews of products (something I need to get back into), regular updates on beauty treatments and a lot of well thought out, accurate information. This blog is a great place for people who need the facts in a friendly and pretty environment. 


When Aimee's Grandfather passed away and she inherited his camera, she decided to put it to good use and start a blog. Firstly, I LOVE that. Her grandfather may not be here now but because of his gift, something beautiful has happened and we can all benefit from it. Secondly, this is a lovely blog full of reviews, life and happy moments. I'm all about the happy. Love love love. 


Lindsey is a little love. Her blog (oh so surprisingly) is about life, beauty and music. Being a non musicy person I thought it wouldn't be my taste but how wrong I was. Lindsey aspires to play to thousands and I really hope she does. I love it when people have a goal that they actively work for or try to achieve, it motivates me to achieve mine too. Go and see if she motivates you. 


Charlotte's Web is a blog I've been reading and loving forever. I'd read her even if I hadn't had brief twitter chats with her and even if she didn't advertise over here. To fill you in- lifestyle blog with a bit of everything yadda yadda yadda. Really, I just want you to hop on over to read her 'perfection and passports' post. It really strikes a cord and is something I think we can all relate to, warts an all!


Oh no, another blog to get sucked into and spend all your time reading! This 'little bit of everything' blog is the kind that you end up flicking through for about 25 minutes and then wonder what you were meant to be doing. EG. It's addictive!! Also, I now want to go to a wedding fair, despite being married over 2 years now. Dagnamit. Go have a looksie.


Stacie is a long time amazing advertiser and a long time inspiration. Suffering from Pulmonary Hypertension, Stacie is documenting her fight for life in a frank, detailed but relatable way, as well as sharing beauty ideas, life snippits and information about transplants. I've learnt a lot about this blog and often think about Stacie and her journey. 


This Canadian beauty blog is informative and easy to read. I have enjoyed the mix of beauty chats (drugstore makeup dramas!), life chats and reviews. This blog is fairly new so do go over and show it some love. If your a video junkie, there is a coinciding youtube channel for you to watch. Woop!

And that's the ladies of the sidebar! Are any of them new to you? Do you enjoy finding new blogs to love? 

If you would like to advertise on Sprinkle of Glitter, all the information is up top in the Sponsor tab. Some of the slots (mainly for bigger packages) have a little bit of wait time due to their popularity so please book early to avoid disappointment. 




Toodlepip!

Amazing Advertisers || February 2013


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Oohhh this month the Amazing Advertisers went on a big journey together. From the left to the right hand side of my blog. I hope they enjoyed their adventure haha!

As always, there is a whole host of great blogs to find in the sidebar, so let's look a little closer.

(Image :: weheartit.com)


Alycia and Trevor have the most romantic of stories. After being proposing, Trevor told his soon to be bride that their life would be full of fun. And it is! This is a blog to document all of those joyful memories, their journey together, lifestyle articles and sweet catch ups. Some of Alycia's photos make me drool and frankly, she makes me want to stick clouds to straws. Check out her blog to find out why!


Ji Ji Kiki is my Ultimate Advertiser this month so you may well have looked at this site already. It is a treasure trove of bits and pieces and I think my favourite page is the Kitch Jewellery section. I'm not quite sure I can resist the iced gem rings any longer. Also, they're on sale so if that doesn't convince me, I don't know what will. 


A beauty and lifestyle blog written by a full time Civil Engineering Technologist in Canada. That was a mouthful! This blog has a clear, uncluttered layout and easy to read posts. I have enjoyed the 25 Random Facts post as I think it's so nice to get to know the heartbeat behind a blog. I think this blogger has been feeling a little down of late so I hope things pick up for her soon. Let's go and show her some love.


Strawberry Sisters is a blog of everything! Fashion, food, fun and games are all on board in a wonderfully whimsical setting, perfect for your inner girlieness. With plenty of photos and regular updates, you won't be short of something to read. I particularly enjoyed the strawberry scrunchie post and feel inspired to make some for Darcy. 


The story behind this beauty review blog is fabulous. It's writer is in her late 30's yet still new to makeup. She writes about her thoughts on products and how they suit her (very slightly!) more mature skin. If you're interested in high end products, you may well enjoy this blog. 


Stacie is not new to this blog so I'm sure you will have read about her amazing story before (if not, go and do it, it's inspiring). This month Stacie has been sharing her story on Daybreak (the morning TV show) and is celebrating a blog milestone with a lovely giveaway. Definitely one to bookmark!


We've been through this before haven't we? Sofia's blog is on my daily check 'n' read list and if it's not on yours, we can't be friends. I adore this blog. I love the layout, the photography, the writing, the personality, everything. Stop avoiding it and have a look, you won't regret it I promise. 


This is a site unlike any other amazing advertiser this month. I'm not going to talk too much because I want you to go and experience it. Clue - You'll use your ears more than your eyes. I LOVE it when there are interesting things like this in my sidebar. I think you will too. 


Right, scrap the usual blurb. Lynne has titled her most recent post 'You Go Glen Coco'. She is clearly brilliant and you should do yourself a favour and go and check it out. Aside from her obvious geniosity (real word there), her blog is crazy pretty and her posts are tres engaging. Stop reading this and click through to her. Also, go back and read her post from the 13th, I did a real life 'lol'! 


First of all, ooooohhhh puuurrddddyyyy. Second of all, did I mention how pretty this blog is? Although Sarah has only blogged 3 times so far this month, all of her posts have been really lovely. There is a fab haul as well as a gorgeous collage and some great motivation for us all. Give it a little looksie. 


Mia's blog is a baby. Only starting this month, it is sweet, girly and focused on beauty. With clear pictures, swatches and great writing, I think this blog is off to a fantastic start. Hop on over and show her some of our sparkly support. 


Annabel makes me want to do things. Minds out of gutters please. She makes me want to take better photographs, change my fonts and go shopping, that's how persuasively good her 'little bit of everything' blog is. Now that you've made it to the end of this post, go and have a look and feel inspired too. 

Well, that's it. Another set of fantastic ladies, all set to have you reading for hours.

Have you discovered anyone new? Check back later for my second blog post of the day....an extra exciting one!! 




Toodlepip!
