How was your 2011?
The year 2011 was a very wonderful year for Earthlingorgeous.com. There were so many doors opened, so many new friends that I’ve met. So many adventures I braved and a lot of new and amazing product I’ve tried and discovered. Here’s a monthly round-up of my 2011!

April 2011
- I was a speaker at iBlog7 and my talk was controversial, some agree to what I said, some don’t. I will be surprised if everyone agrees. There were haters who talked behind my back, some were very quiet at supporting me all the way. Some were unable to move on until now and make me a subject of their entertainment, I don’t care really. I don’t have to be bothered about anything, its the other way around because they are the ones who have been badmouthing me.

Looks like you had a fantastic year. Wow, I didn’t know you went through so much being a blogger and all, I actually was surprised while reading your post about iblog7.
I was a blogger before, though not as dedicated as you and it’s just a pasttime, I don’t know if I’ll get back this year, but things sure are complicated behind all the glitz and glamour of events, freebies, and others. Then again, it’s the friends you make that make blogging worthwhile. 🙂
Looks like a good year for you Earth! Would love to cover again for you if opp and time permit. Happy New Year! Regs to Tasha 🙂
