I had a look at your friend's and it seems very interesting.<br /><br />I love your post and the thoughts it raises about the directions beauty blogs could go in. I hate glossy mags myself and never buy them. I hate the air-brushed fakeness of them. Wouldn't it be amazing if beauty blogs became the forerunners of celebrating real women, and show how they can be beautiful at any age? As the photos at the end of your post clearly shows :-)Kate @ Puddles and Gumbootshttp://www.puddlesandgumboots.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-64727237564006167602011-08-03T19:36:51.839+10:002011-08-03T19:36:51.839+10:00I'm with Tania I'm afraid.

It felt more natural and honest.<br /><br />I tend to turn off when I see sponsored posts, or blogs with ads on them.<br /><br />Margaret Olley.

Will have to do something thinking (probably while vacuuming and encouraging the children to tidy up after themselves and reminding myself to remember to go to the bank for mum) and share them with you all.

I'll definitely take them on board.
