Greetings, My Little Astrological Creatures!
Today, I wanted to start a fashion opinionated series that surrounds fashion bloggers (including me from time to time). It even includes Youtubers that are involved in fashion.
Lately, some habits are making the surface of the water a little murky when it comes to the fashion community. I wanted to state my opinion on here instead of going on a rant on other people's pages which is pointless. Let's get on with the first post of this series, shall we!

Self Promoting
This is the one that I absolutely hate the most. The tone of it and the places that it happens can automatically determine if its harmless or not. I don't like it when people follow you and then directly message you with their promotion.
The only way that I accept a few self promoters is when I see sincere phrases like "I'm sorry for self advertising myself." At least they are aware of other people's feelings toward this topic. Another turn off is when they self promote themselves on a video or post that is serious....Like really?! Just Stop.

Promoting A Product
"They are just in it for the money." Yup, that what most people argue and its somewhat true. But we all have to make a living somehow. For me, I thought that's what blogging was all about (according to online articles). I started using affiliate programs for that main reason long ago.
I realize that it was actually cluttering up my blog and there was really no use. Also, I did a sponsor post once on makeup, but it was too much work. I decided to just drop it all. Now, I blog because I just want to.
I only accept a Blogger/YouTuber promoting a product when:
1) They don't do it that often
2) If its a huge brand

As long as you make it blend in with the same flow as all your other content then its okay with me. Its hard for others because everyone thinks that Bloggers and Youtubers are only here for the money.
Look at it like this: They are entertainers or informers. That's like saying that the famous artists and other workers of today shouldn't be paid for the services that they give to the people. It's not fair when they can't get something in return for their hard work that makes us happy.
Thank you for reading! :)
Post #2 of this series is coming soon.
