Blog Love

Blog everyday in May - Day 19: Five of your favorite blogs and what you love about them

1. The Cow Jumped Over the Moon - I have already waxed lyrical about Kate, so before I send out lesbian vibes - I will say that Kate is 1 of my favourite blogs out there. Read her, you will see why.
2. Purple Lips and Perfect Smiles Claudz always has such a positive outlook on life. When you meet her in real life, she is the same as the way she comes across on the blog; chatty, vivacious & confident. She blogs about a variety of topics and I love every post!
3. Vanilla Blonde - Bailey Schneider is bubbly, positive and a lovely person. Her posts are warm and make a person feel happy
4. Skinny Bitches in the Making - Doesn't the name just make you love them? Candid and refreshing. I love that they articulate everything I feel as a single, independant woman.
5. Peas on Toast - I have been reading Peas for years. Her blog is honest and hilariously funny

Kate Middleton... the other one

Blog everyday in May - Day 5: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends. What makes them great? Why do you love them?

I don't even remember how I met Kate, but from the moment I did, I felt as if we should be friends.

I used to do a feature called Uniquely Me where I did blog interviews in an attempt to introduce other bloggers to each other.

I featured Kate in September 2010 (boy time flies!), to read her interview, click here

Over the years Kate has disappeared from the blogoshere, much to my distress. Happily she is currently back online again and blogging quite regularly! (I threaten her often not to disappear again, I hope I may be scary enough that is is listening to me!)

I go for stretches at a time here I don't have time to read or post any blogs, but the moment I can find the time, I read Kate's blog first. Irrespective of whether her posts are sad or funny, I feel like I have caught up with a good friend. My soul feels soothed after reading her blog. 

Kate is a lady. Her maiden name was Middleton, which is a funny coincidence because even though I have never seen her walking, I imagine Kate to have the same style and poise as Princess Kate.

My Kate is beautiful inside and out. (apart from her funny knees apparently) 

She is gentle and kind and has a heart of gold. I adore her sense of humour and it is on my bucket list to 1 day meet up with her (I think I should commit to the next 5 years - I give you fair warning Kate) and drink some wine, cocktails / both.

Before I sound like total stalker - let me sign off by saying this:

You are one of my favourite people Kate, never doubt the impact you have on people - as far as across the ocean!
