I whole heartedly agree with the statement above. Chocolate cake on Mondays because you're happy to see work friends again after a long weekend, a new magazine because it makes you happy, red lipstick at 8am because you know you look really really good with it...all little celebrations I believe everyone should have-whenever they want.
But, dear friends, today is a REALLY special occasion, for me. If you haven't noticed, this little blog got a little facelift. Take a look at your web address bar. Yep. She has her own official website! When my blog designer emailed me to tell me the big move was complete, I was giddy like a little kid on Christmas morning.
I couldn't be more happy with my blog designer, by the way. If you're in the market for one, I HIGHLY recommend partnering with Designer Blogs. They did my original blog design and picked up where we left off when I came back months later saying, "Okay, I'm ready to make this a big girl blog." I love how simple and easy they make blog design. They have it all thought out and I literally pick and choose what I'm ready to do, put it in my basket and check out. After a few emails, the blog is literally updated without me lifting a finger.
PFS is a work in progress, so stay tuned to watch her grow! Speaking of making changes and growing...
I recently read an article on the importance of bloggers staying engaged with their audience. I'll be honest and say that I sometimes post things because I get SO excited when I discover something that needs to be shared. But for the most part, I try to really post content that I'm not the only one who cares about.
If you ask me, the blog world isn't just a place to escape to see pretty homes and perfect outfits. Oh no, the blog world is a place that allows you to exchange ideas, stay inspired, meet people who like the same things you do and if you're really lucky-make new friends along the way.
So in the spirit of staying true to the reason I started this blog, I have made a pact with myself and you too. I want to keep this place collaborative. I want to HEAR from you! Anything you have to share-good or bad. Because let's be honest, if all I wanted to do was post pictures of things I like, I would simply use Pinterest. Feedback is what I'm craving here!
So, let's have a practice round. Calling ALL readers: Tell me what you like/dislike about Pink Flamingo Style, what you want to see more or less of, and just anything else you would like to share.
Hey Rach! So I have never left you a comment, and I felt compelled to tonight! I really enjoy reading your blog!!! It has been forever since I talked to you and even longer since I have seen you in person (sad). So often do I remember "the good 'ole days" with you (for example when Thong song comes on the XM as I am driving down the road- I just have to have myself a little laugh and take a stroll down memory lane=)). I feel like we are still keep up as I read your blog, because you show what you are doing, your home, your hobbies, and your likes and interest. I think you do a great job. I hope you are well, and life is treating you great. We should catch up sometime!!!!

I'm late on posting, but the new site looks great! And that is most definitely the best part of blogging - inspiration and meeting people! Three cheers for blogging! :)
