December Advertisers, A Little Update & A Happy 2014!

Evening fellow birds! It feels like I've been away from my blog for ages! I'm aware I posted the other day, but I haven't been in my usual routine of taking photos and planning posts and have had a good week off from doing anything blog related.  I reckon it's the longest I've ever 'been away' from my blog - and I say that in quotation marks because I've still been reading everyone elses - I've just taken a teeny-tiny step back from mine over the Christmas period.  Needless to say, you can take the girl away from the blog but you can't take the blog out of the girl - I'm itching to get back to writing regularly and back into my usual swing.  Post-Christmas blogging mojo = back in business!  I have a few 'best of 2013' posts planned as well as a standard 'What I got for Christmas' post - so keep your eyes peeled for those in the next week or so. Maybe a little late on the bandwagon with the Christmas related post - but better late than never, right? Plus - it will give you a sneak peak of what to expect on my blog for the next few months - I'm in beauty blogger heaven with a few new beauty bits to test and try!

Anway, rambling aside, it's time for my final monthly advertisers post (for the time being)... I'm now in my final year of uni so balancing advertising on top of that has become a little difficult - I've been keeping too many plates spinning at once for quite some time! Fear not though,  if you ever want to advertise with me in future, I'm reopening my slots very soon - I'm just taking a little break!  Without further rambling from me, I shall pass you onto the lovely folks who have been sitting in my sidebar for this festive month of December. First up is my exclusive advertiser of the month - the lovely Becks over at thenotsosecretdiary - 'A London lifestyle blog with a bit of everything in between'...

thenotsosecretdiary is a London lifestyle blog, with a bit of everything in between. I started writing it just as I moved to Paris four years ago...now it's all about the endless adventure of living in the capital city this side of the Channel. With a whole host of posts on what I get up to, what I wear, who I've been dating and - mostly, at the moment, where I've been eating, it's a little insight into the not so secret life of a 24 year old city-dwelling singleton.  I'm a writer/account manager by day, a blogger by lunch break/weekend and a fly-by-night in the evenings. Living in the best city in the world and dreaming of others, thenotsosecretdiary is my little bit of London and beyond.

Chloe | Chloeabelle
Blog | Twitter | Instagram | SheSaidBeauty | Email: ChloeH42@hotmail.co.uk |

Hello, I'm Chloe & I'm the blogger behind Chloeabelle.  I've just turned 21 & I'm from Scotland - Glasgow to be precise.  Chloeabelle started out as a wee hobby but became more of a huge passion since November - I can't believe I've been writing my blog for just over two years - blog birthday last & I have loved every minute of it - it's hard to think what I would be doing if I didn't have my blog! - boring.  I have been a lover of make-up since I bought my first black eyeliner inspired by Avril Lavigne & decided to take a Make-up Artist course in 2011 for some extra tips & tricks.
Chloeabelle is mainly about Beauty & my lifestyle - who doesn't love to have a nosey into other's lifes ;) but I do throw in some fashion OOTD's for a mixed variety.  Blogging has dusted off the cobwebs on my photography & artistic skills & also improved my writing skills too. Chloeabelle has given me some amazing opportunities with blogging events where I have met some amazing people, who I can call my friends & the brilliant & friendly blogging community over on Twitter - you are all the best!  I adore my followers & would love to say thankyou for sticking around :) Thankyou for taking the time to read this & visit my blog, I love finding & reading others, so don't hesitate to leave a comment or a tweet with your blog link or even a Hi :) I love talking to new people.

And there we have it, my final advertising bunch for a little while! I've loved offering advertising - not only does it mean I get to discover new blogs too, but I've also made some amazing blogging friends from it as well!  I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas and don't get too merry tonight for New Year's Eve!

Are you doing much for New Year's Eve tonight?!

Evening fellow birds. I cannot believe it's the end of November already! I'm so impressed with myself this year as I only have a few more little bits and bobs to get - I'm usually a Christmas Eve kinda girl so to say I'm feeling pretty chipper about it all is an understatement! I do hope you're all having a fabulous weekend.  Of course, it's that time of the month again where I introduce to you my monthly advertisers and their fabulous blogs.  Sit down, grab a cuppa and find some new reads to add to the list.  Without further ado, I shall hand you over to the lovely ladies over in my sidebar...  First up, it's my lovely EXCLUSIVE NOVEMBER ADVERTISER - Beky...

Hi I am Jules and I am addicted to beauty and skincare.  I have always loved reading everyone else's blogs and finally a month or so ago I decided to create my own little corner of the internet and Lippylikes was born.  So far my posts have been about various skincare and makeup items but I have also written a few tags which has been a lot of fun.  I love it when I am left comments and sent tweets and always answer.  I would be so happy if you took the time to read LippyLikes and would love to hear your suggestions for future content.

I'm Alexandra and I write a beauty and lifestyle blog, Sweet Dreams.  I'm really happy to be advertising on Birds Words as Beth has such an amazing blog and is a blogging inspiration to me! I love to keep variety in my blog.  I write beauty reviews, wishlists, I keep you up to date with freebies, voucher codes and sales and lots more! I'd love it if you had a little peek at my blog and feel free to have a chat too! x

And there we have it! I say it every month but there's some lovely bloggers here this month and they've been a wonderful bunch to have over on my sidebar - there's some true personal faves of mine in there and yet again I'm rather chuffed to have an even longer reading list - yay!  December will be my last advertising month for a while - final year university studies are taking over at the moment but I shall be reopening my ad spaces in a couple of months or so! Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you're interested in advertising as I'd be happy to pop you on a little reserve list! Hope you've all got your advent calendars ready for tomorrow....

Monthly Advertisers | September

Hiddely-ho fellow birds! Um...Where did September go? It seems like yesterday I was swanning around in summer dresses and sandals and now I'm trying to refrain from reaching for my trusty fleece-lined opaque tights! The end of another month can only mean one thing - new bloggy reads!  It's that time again that I introduce you to the lovely bunch that have been sitting in my sidebar the past 4 weeks - my reading list is certainly bursting at the seams now! There's some fabulous blogs to discover this month and without further ado, I shall pass you over to these lovely lot....

Isabelle | HelloIssyxo | *September Exclusive Advertiser*
Links | Blog | Twitter | Facebook | Instagram

I started helloissyxo in 2011 alongside my degree to find a little place to waffle about beauty.  It does get a little dull for everyone around me when I keep whipping a mascara wand out my bag and convincing people to buy it.  Writing about it on the web seemed like the best way to discuss the pros and cons of beauty products with likeminded people whilst keeping my real life ultra cool appearance up (totally true...). I've branched out into hair, skincare and fashion reviews to add a bit of variety too.

I love everything about blogging - taking and editing photos, writing, researching and of course trying out things I love all the time to bring you guys the best possible reviews.

I read all my comments, tweets and messages so feel free to click on any of the links you like and we can talk about exactly which mascara is best and help one another rationalise buying too much stuff on an almost daily basis! Xo

Meet My Advertisers | July

Afternoon ladies.  Yet again we've come to the end of another month - one that has been a particularly exciting one for me to say the least! I've been to London to exhibit at a design show and made lots of fabulous business contacts, I've jetted away to Crete for a week for some much needed relaxation and chilling out time and I've now set the ball rolling for my professional website and have a work placement next month. Cripes! It's all go for me at the moment! For those of you who are interested I promise I shall provide the link to my professional website once it's all complete (I'm a perfectionist - sorry..;)) - it's taking longer than first thought but hopefully those of you who are interested in that kind of thing will hop on over and follow me on there - it would be great to see some familiar faces! 

Ramblings aside, I have had some lovely bloggers and websites sitting over in my sidebar this month - I shall be sad to see them tottle off but I really hope you've managed to find some new reads. I also have an amazing hair extension company to check out this month - you may know if you've been reading Bird's Words for a while now that I love anything hair related and have a massive interest in hair care - so I'd definitely recommend checking them out if you're a fellow hair-obsessive like myself! I say it almost every month so I must sound like a broken record but there are some fabulous blogs advertising with me this month - some new, some more established but there's no doubt I've enjoyed reading what they have to say about all things beauty - my reading list is now bursting at the seams (and so is my product wish list)! Without any further chit-chat from me (goodness I don't half harp on!) I shall introduce you to this lovely bunch...

Hi everyone! My name is Steph and I write over at Captivating Beauty.  My slice of the web is very young but I have loved blogging and can't imagine my life without it now.  I started watching YouTube beauty videos a few years ago which then expanded to reading blogs up until every evening of mine was consumed by beauty blogs and videos! Which is why i decided to break into the beauty community; which I have to say is so friendly and supportive, and start my own blog.

Over at Captivating Beauty you can expect reviews, hauls, OOTN and a few lifestyle posts popped in to give you more of an insight into my life.  I can't wait for my blog to continue to grow and would love for you all to share this time with me, you never know you may eventually see my face pop up on Youtube!

I would love for you to come over and say hey or send me a tweet.  I love nothing more than chatting to people with a common interest for anything girly!
