Phew! I skipped over TiLT last week since we were so wrapped up in our vacation. I wanted to work on a post at the coffee shop, but honestly, these things take like 4 hours to compile! I try to make it a habit to rustle up a few different things throughout the week, but I'm really bad about leaving it until the last minute. At least that way I can include the most relevant and recent links, yeah? Let's go with that! Here's my favorite things from the past 2 weeks... Enjoy!

// Amanda's blog teaches you how to be fabulous, even if you're broke!
// One quick thing before I sign off of here - I wanted to thank all of you for your comments, tweets, emails and texts yesterday after I published that somewhat intimidating post. I was a bit disheartened that so many fellow bloggers (and "friends") were so quick to drop me - unfollow and then passively/vaguely post about the whole thing. But so many of you expressed your gratitude for knowing the truth, and you shared your experiences with her, too. So many people have been taken advantage of and that's simply not okay! I understand that a lot of people would rather stay silent instead of rocking the boat, but so many of those people are makers themselves. They're the very people Mandy so regularly knocked off. Behavior like that is what makes people hesitant to share the truth, and if the truth isn't out there, change can never come. Anyway, I know yesterday was a bit of an uproar, but thanks for sticking it out with me. I value all of your comments and I appreciate you sharing your bit of the story with me! Hopefully I won't have to write a post like that for another 2 years or more! haha
What are you loving this week?
I KNOW RIGHT. That gif is magical.
ReplyDeleteLike I said on twitter, I really do think that you'll see some of the people who dropped you just quietly add you back after things die down. Bloggers who monetize often reeeeeeeally sanitize themselves and nobody wants to risk losing ad revenue if they stop watering down their opinions/lives to fit what they think their readers want to see. It's one of the reasons you are such a refreshing, awesome blog to read; I know what I'm reading is your opinion, and you're forthright and I never feel like you've watered yourself down.
I was waiting for this TILT :)
ReplyDeleteI really love this post.
Don't worry Kaelah I'm here to support you :) wink
that first gif had me almost rofl (haha) for reals when you posted it on twitter!

ReplyDeleteThanks for getting my day off to a great start!

That cat dressing up as a shark is BRILLIANT! You've done the right thing standing up to Mandy because if you didnt, she will constantly get away with the stuff she did to us, the makers especially. I am myself an artist and struggle enough to run my own business yet she, not even an artist or real designer (why did she put up "100% handmade, with a great care of Mandy Ferrugia" when they aren't, gosh!) has a successful business, ripping people off. Hats off to you. My respect for her has dropped to zilch.
ReplyDeleteAll the cute animals! <3 My heart's melting. Also, the what you're expecting in your 20s vs reality post is brilliant.. and unfortunately true :( So many good links I'm about to die. Too much to do and see!

I love that GURL GIF for so many reasons! Growing up in the ghetto, I know EXACTLY what that face is! "Whatchu gon' do?!" and the fact that the other girl is just standing there. Plus, the whole thing over the weekend, *I can't!* I'm done. I can't stop laughing. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat am I loving this week? YOU! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd also that Cosby gif because obviously.
Girl! I literally live a stones throw from Branson and have a place on the lake, LET ME KNOW if y'all come this way! I've got all sorts of recommendations for ya, plus we can make this meet up actually happen :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the love :)
ReplyDeleteBranson is...alright. There are some decent things, like Silver Dollar City, and my husband and I are close friends with the guy who won best show in Branson last year (He does Johnny Cash and John Denver), as well as the couple who owns a fantastic restaurant, Florentina's. It's a little too touristy in most places, but very kid-friendly.
