Sunday Social: An introduction to Sar at [life of love]

Happy Sunday, friends! If you're like me, school starts back up tomorrow. Here's hoping for a productive yet low-key semester! Linking up with Ashley and Neely for another round of Sunday Social! If you're new, I'm glad you're here! If you're an old reader, well, I'm still glad you're here. ;)

What's the name of your blog? How long have you been blogging?
My blog's name is [life of love], mostly because, well, my life is full of love! I'm a believer in putting your heart out there (for romantic love, but also for joy!), so this was the perfect title. I've thought about changing it a few times but alas, nothing seems to fit quite like [life of love] does. I've been blogging since I moved to Texas in 2008, but I didn't open my blog up to uninvited readers until early 2010.

Why do you blog?
To be completely honest, I have no clue. Mostly because I love the blogging community, I think--in fact, I girl talk with bloggers far more than anybody I know in person (although the bloggers I girl talk with, I now know IRL). I do not believe in blogger sponsorships (aka I don't think I should "pay" other bloggers to mention me or have an ad up on their page to my blog) because I want readers, not followers. But that's just me. ;)

What's your favorite post you wrote in 2012?
Aaaaah. I'm gonna go with 26 Gifts to 26 Strangers (for my 26th birthday)--although the post from 2012 that has the most views is the one where I got dumped (not gonna link to that, 'cuz I never even think about that anymore!).

What are your blogging goals for 2013?
Y'all write blogging goals?! Shit. Ummm...well I want to do another birthday extravaganza involving strangers (maybe 27 Gift Cards? 27 Acts of Kindness? Asking blogger friends to do an act of kindness in my honor? Who knows...), and since the 15 Day Challenge has crazy popular, I'll be hosting another one (probably May or June? I haven't decided yet!). 

Name your top 3 favorite blogs!
I have way more than 3 that I love! First off, I love Jena at Recently Roached (seriously, my girl crush on her hasn't subsided through an election year...pretty sure it's true love). I also seriously giggle reading Tamara over at Lehmann Laughter (quite possibly my favorite Baylor person ever). Lastly, my blogger-turned-besties friends Sarah, Neely, and Steph ('cuz you can never have too much girl talk)!

Happy Sunday y'all! If you're new, leave a comment and your blog URL and I'd love to stop by and say hi! Also, you can find me here on Twitter!

Jena is one of my favs as well. Even though she did vote for you-know-who (love you, Jena!). Cute post!

Thanks for coming by my blog. I love the 26 gifts for 26 strangers post. Might be the coolest thing I have ever seen anyone do before the whole 26 acts of kindness thing came out. New follower here! I want some glitter stuff btw...so jealous of your craftiness!

"to be honest, I habe no clue" is exactly how I feel. I love your blog. Also, since 2008!? that's impressive!

I'm so happy to know I'm not the only one who doesn't believe in Blogger Sponsorships! I feel the same way I want readers not just followers! I'm totally going to follow and read your blog now! Probably going to add you on twitter too! (I'm BrittanyLea on there too)

Have a great Sunday!

Love how you celebrated your bday! And I agree, I'd rather have more readers than followers.

PS - I love diet coke, too. :)

SO GLAD to have another blogger friend who doesn't believe in the sponsorship thing... i just do not get it. Started blogging in 2009, and i feel like this is a new phenomenon haha. I don't like it. I put people's button on my blog or mention for FREE just b/c i like them. :)

LOVE YOUR BLOG. You are one of my faves.

Melissa said...

I also do not set blog goals. Haha. I don't get that either. I write what i want, when i want, how i want. Everyday if i want & skip a week if i want! Is that so wrong???

Shay said...

I love your birthday celebration ideas and love what you wrote about not knowing why you blog- so funny. Its addicting, thats for sure!

Sammyjoe Dube said...

Your blog is awesome, beautifully put together. I love your life :)

Hena Tayeb said...

super cute blog... nice to have stumbled upon it. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Michelle said...

I love what you said about sponsorships. AMEN!

Tamara said...

No, you're my favorite Baylor person! Thanks so much for the love girl, you're amazeballs.

Also, yes on the rather having readers than followers!

Double also, please sponsor me - I will give a can of refried beans as payment. That's legit, right?
