Here are my five favorite posts from this week, and a BIG, HUGE, GIANT, MONSTER thank you to the 1000+ people who follow this blog!
Falling From Grace: Admit it, you know when to break up with your best friend.
Grace is an awesome twenty-something writer that really captures the feelings and emotions of that decade. This post illustrates that friendships, like relationships, are also temporary, and lets you know when it might be time to move on.
Candy Coated Cyanide: I’m not for the Bible, but I’m not exactly against it either.
I tend to stray away from religious posts, but this one really grabbed my attention. I don’t think of myself as a feminist, but the way this was written really made me question, in a good way, a lot of what I had learned in the past about religion and the bible, and that’s always a good thing!
Ah, The Country Life: Don’t Question the Questionnaire
This post cracked me up and reminded me of a blog I wrote about all the lies I tell on a day to day basis. The doctor’s office is already an extremely stressful room, but adding a redundant yearly questionnaire that constantly goes ignored is be enough to ruin anyone’s day.
Chaos + Words: Motherhood: Leave It Be
Ashley is an extremely talented writer (and fellow Tipsy member), and in this post, she showcases her ability to eloquently write about the controversial topic of motherhood. Women are constantly asked when they are getting to that ‘next step’ in life, whether it be engagement, marriage, or kids, and she objectively argues for those who don’t see the necessity of taking that next step.
Red, White & Bitchy: Warning Shots
These girls are hilarious, first and foremost, but this post on body image really got my attention. Taking a break from their normally sarcastic and humorous posts, they dive deeper into a girl’s need to be thinner and what she loses in the process.
Bonus: Half and Half: Had A Crappy Week? Here’s How To Feel Better
A little self promotion never hurt nobody right? This is one of my favorite posts — and since it’s Friday, maybe you can utilize some of my brain tools to help you feel better about slaving away from 9-5 or however long you work.

And as if reading all these wonderful posts wasn’t enough to make my week, I found out on Tuesday that I crossed the bridge to over 1,000 followers!
THANK YOU.
Thank you so much to all of you for your support, comments, feedback, and likes.
I am so grateful that you all read what I have to say, comment on it, and enjoy it. It makes this whole thing so much more fun!
I owe all of you seventeen virtual wine bottles, a tray of imaginary snacks, and forty stickers. I just need all your addresses, a week alone, and a lot of prepaid envelopes.
Now, excuse me, I have a bottle of wine with my name on it ready to celebrate. Cheers to all you beautiful people, and here’s to the next one thousand!
(I hope.)
xoxo, Meg
Half and Half

Wow I feel so honored to have my post featured like this. Amazing. Thanks so much for reading and enjoying it as much as you did. And thanks for mentioning me, I greatly appreciate it. (Can you tell me acceptance speech needs work? Haha) Now off to read the other features. 🙂
My pleasure!! Hoping it exposes some of the better bloggers out there 🙂
That’s a wonderful and very cool idea. I think I might have to take it. 😉 Of course, only if you wouldn’t mind.
Obviously! The more exposure the better 🙂
Congrats on 1,000 girl!!! Must be exciting! I just passed 100 and felt the same thrill. (And had a couple glasses of wine to celebrate as well.) Like minds, ya know?

Congrats on the big 1000! Here i thought I was doing good with 35 followers. Ha! Keep up the great work—I’ll be anxiously waiting by my mailbox for my wine. 🙂
Red or white? That is the question!
Actually, could you make it a margarita?
Only if you like salt…

First off CONGRATULATIONS on making it to 1000 followers. Forget the wine. Break out the champagne! You deserve it. LOVE your blog. Thank you for letting me be a part of it by including my post.
