THE GOODS: WEEK 1

I most likely spend far too much time reading blogs. There are just so many great writers and inspirational people out there to not take the time to do so. I started reading blogs (and writing my own...there existed another before this one) way back in 2008 and leaned towards style blogs. I was big on those online fashion communities such as Chictopia and Lookbook where you post looks and people vote on them. Looking back on some of the outfits I posted, I kind of have to giggle at myself. Over the years, my interests changed, and so did the type of blogs that I read. I find myself reading more food, fitness, politics, and design blogs these days, which is right in tune with my interests. In the past, I've done a few Best Reads of the Week posts featuring my favorite pieces by other bloggers. It's something that I anticipate keeping up with throughout 2013, because damn, there's just so much great content out there. Spread the love, my friends.
