Let Me Set Something Straight...

Hi friends - I really ask that you take the time to read this...

I debated even writing this because I don't want to acknowledge ridiculous behavior.

Last night I tweeted, "...people who post comments anonymously are cowards."

I had someone leave me a post telling me they were unfollowing me.

Their reason: Because I post giveaways, reviews and link ups.

If we are being honest, rude comments, emails, tweets - they hurt.
We're human.

But I have so many great & wonderful things that I love about the blog that I try to just ignore these comments and focus on the positives.

I decided to address this comment, however, and that is because I was concerned about this on my own before this whole thing occurred.


When I started my blog I LOVED that people host giveaways!
I won probably 15-20 giveaways in my first 2-3 months blogging.
I remember thinking, "I wish I had been entering giveaways forever!"
I won amazing home items, shopping cards, makeup, etc.

Now, if any of you have entered and won a giveaway, I'm sure you understand this feeling.
When you get that email with the subject line: YOU WON!!
You run around doing a happy dance (:

So when I started getting the opportunities from companies to giveaway free stuff -
I jumped all over it!
Companies send me an email, asking if I will review something and then they want to send a reader free stuff.
How is that a negative thing?

What can be negative is if a blogger turns their blog into a constant stream of reviews and giveaways and forgets what their blog is all about.

I promised myself when I started the reviews, that I would keep a 1:1 ratio the best I could.
1 personal post for every giveaway or review.

I have had a HUGE influx in offers for giveaways, so for the next few weeks there will probably be a giveaway almost every day...but I post those at 10am or 12pm...AFTER I post a recipe, personal post, or something from my heart.

I never want my readers to think I've "sold out" or be bored of my blog.
I just thought that the ladies who love free stuff would appreciate the giveaways!

So all I ask is this:
If you love Wifessionals, you love my life & my heart - Read my personal posts
My recipes, my diy, my army life

If you love the reviews & giveaways - Enter to your heart's delight!

If you don't want to see product reviews or giveaways - Just skip that post on your blog roll


My promise to you is that I will never "sell out"
I will ALWAYS post from my life along with the reviews & free stuff
I just try to do my best to offer EVERYTHING on my blog
I love comments and emails and I take to heart constructive criticism


I am always VERY open with the fact that my top priority is to meet new friends, help small bloggers grow and try to encourage other ladies the best I can through Wifessionals.
I just hope that you guys see that and know that I love you all very much!
