Thank you for linking up!

Come back next Thursday for another round of the Link & Mingle!

I left you a comment...so now, follow me!

Hello, hello...

Long time no see! I know, I know...I'm completely out and at the same time I'm still here, because I try to read you as much as possible and I try to comment in your posts as much as possible. But I know I should be more IN or otherwise the existence of this blog would stop having a meaning to me that I write and to you that you read me.

And talking about reading and commenting, today I came across a post that defines exactly how sometimes I feel inside this blogging world. The post is part of the "Blogger Tips series" from Paige or Eloping Stethoscope but written by Kristina from The Streeters Unlimited.

You can read the blog post here but summing up Kristina talks about how she doesn't like comments of the type: "I left you a comment/I follow you...so now, follow me!"

Being 100% honest, I don't like it either and for various reasons. First, it makes me feel like the person doesn't care at all about me and getting to know me, my blog o whatever I have to say in it. That person only wants me to follow. Which leads me to my second point: I'm probably just a number more in her GFC. Third: I feel without even having checked the blog, "force" to follow. 

Don't get me wrong. I get how things work, I'm not complaining. I like to follow and be followed. This amazing system allows you to interact and meet awesome people with awesome blogs. But I want to read blogs that I like and interest me, because that way I will always come back and leave meaningful comments. The same way I'd like people to follow me because they like me and I interest them, so they came back and leave meaningful comments. Because what's the point of following something you don't like and you will never be checking again!!

You wouldn't like me to follow you so you follow me, the same way I don't like people to follow me so I follow them. And that's why I always end my comments with a smiley face =) and the link to my blog. Because I like to have the chance to choose freely and I like to give the same for other people. 

I think you get the idea...=)

Also talking about "no-reply bloggers" I think I fix that problem!!I now have a separate email only for the blog so I believe you can contact me at livingingeneva@gmail.com (I'm not quite sure if you can see it in my profile with all this google+ mess. I don't get use to it). But yeah, anything blog related (or not!) contact me there.

Last but not least and also blogging related I'm participating in this amazing project!!check it out, run, for a number of limited people!

I'm co-hosting THE MONDAY BLUES BLOG HOP!!

Good morning Ladies! I have the pleasure to be co-hosting this Blog Hop this week.

Hope you all have an amazing start of the week.
Happy Monday!!

Quick post today!

I can't believe I haven't done this post before.

I'm sure you all know Paige from Eloping Stethoscope and if you don't you definitely need to go and check her out. She is a very active person- in her daily life and the blogging community- I'll always see her participating in guest posts, group giveaways, link ups...so far she has always answer my comments, tweets etc...She is so energetic that it feels very refreshing to read her. Besides, her posts about nursing school remind me of a friend of mine that is a nurse and what she used to tell me when she was in nursing school =)

She also has a shop where she sales hand made jewelry (I've been eyeing some really cute pieces lately) and blog designs packages. In my particular case she designed for me a blog planner!!(check sample photos)

It has everything you could think off. As soon as I ordered it she contacted me to ask me more details and further information about what I wanted. I had no clue of what would be useful for me being at a really early stage of my blog but she oriented me and suggested what could be the best option. More than that, I had the planner waiting in my mail box the next morning!! Oh have I said that knowing that I was interested she tweeted me to let me know she had a sale going on and I got 20% off (If I remember right)!!

Extra points for efficiency and amazing customer treatment! 

If lifes gets busy, maybe a blog planner is all you are looking for...or anyhow, just check her out because she is great!

=)
