But there are also blogs who write sponsored posts, but I enjoy their writing so much, and it still feels authentic that I don't really mind them. (Girl's Gone Child is a good example of that.) I know for me, I don't really write sponsored posts, but I do receive a lot of books for review. So much that it's almost taken over my reading, and I never read books just because anymore.<br /><br />So it's definitely a delicate line, and I think people can make it work. But I think the most important part is what feels right to you, and what you enjoy doing.Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768500025681903875.post-69024259260440651962014-06-12T08:45:51.780-04:002014-06-12T08:45:51.780-04:00If I had ever received an opportunity for an aweso...If I had ever received an opportunity for an awesome free dress, I doubt I could pass it up, but I have never received any such offers. Haha! I don't blame you a bit for taking them up on the offer, and I think you made an awesome choice on the dress. I actually browsed their site and do like the clothing, but I will have to see if I can justify buying a new dress anytime soon. I will be in need of a new dress for beach pictures this year. ;-) Obviously, I am glad you will be continuing to blog about your life though!

Plus, that was before all the rules about declaring advertising, etc.<br />It's hard to define content and a hard balance to strike if you're going to blog both personal and promotional stuff. Everyone, I suppose, has to find their own happy spot--both for themselves as bloggers and for their readers. :)<br />All that to say, I enjoy your blog, and I'm glad we've "met" this way too!Tiffany Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030610462498175664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768500025681903875.post-45777257964428718492014-06-10T12:42:04.957-04:002014-06-10T12:42:04.957-04:00I did one product review once and I had the worst ...I did one product review once and I had the worst time trying to make it sound like something I would actually write instead of a review. I thought yours was very well done, but I love knowing you're going to continue to be Natasha from the blog. :) I have loved getting to know you and your family! :) Bekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455200539913180050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768500025681903875.post-83574502635864776452014-06-10T09:54:10.028-04:002014-06-10T09:54:10.028-04:00I agree with Erika!

I do know what you mean about seeing blogs that you love turning into on long product and company review. I really don't like that. But, if you want to throw in a product review every now and then, I don't mind at all. I love knowing what you think. Either way, you totally have my support.

But I really don't mind when people just do an occasional review or something-- I mean, I want my friends to get fun free clothes in exchange for all of their hard work blogging, and as long as the reviews are honest (and honestly disclosed), I don't think an occasional review is bad at all!Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909071293780469781noreply@blogger.com
