Thursday, March 21st, 2013

It’s wonderfully entertaining to have so many different points of view within the Blogads network, even though they can be covering similar topics.  Here’s a slew of recent topics recently talked about from different perspectives thanks to some of our awesome bloggers!

First up: Healthy Advice

Fit Bottomed Girls highlights five “healthy” mistakes guys are making:

I’m not afraid to order a salad; I just never want one. But this list is for guys, so that makes it ok.

VS.

In contrast to that advice, here’s WSWCM’s outlook on curing a bad day:

I fully support WSWCM writing a self-help book.

 

Second round: Misbehaving animals

CuteOverload share pics of stalker cats:

You know you’re a cat lady when these pictures look adorable rather than creepy. Guilty.

VS.

Dog Shaming shows off equally criminal pups:

Jetta- no body, no murder. Clean up the evidence next time!

 

Last, but not least: Pretty Little Liars’ Season Finale

Betches Love This recap the finale with their signature snark:

These recaps are the only way I’m able to keep up with what’s happening in the show. How do the tweens do it?

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

I’ll save you some time weeding through the Internet for this week’s best posts, so here’s a look at some links from around the Blogads network that I’ve found particularly entertaining this week:

To be fair, I’d ask to take the cupcake, too. Otherwise, that’s just wasteful.

There’s plenty more Oscar/after-party coverage on the site, too. My favorite highlight went to J.Law’s after-party dress.

I can definitely vouch for her manicuring rec. Looking forward to more from this column!
