True Life: I'm A __________

Most people start off blogging as a way to "document their life for friends and family", but eventually, you find out that you love followers and comments and developing relationships with other bloggers. Some bloggers prefer to follow blogs similar to their own, while others enjoys reading blogs of all types. But we also know that finding those special blogs can be overwhelming.
  
Mrs Monologues and Fabulous But Evil have teamed up to provide the ultimate blog link up party! This 8 week series will feature a link up party every Friday showcasing a different type of blog genre each week.

The True Life: I'm a _______ schedule is as follows:
WEEK ONE: Friday, August 5th - General Life Bloggers (general, humor, fluff, etc.)
WEEK TWO: Friday, August 12 - Fashion/Beauty Bloggers
WEEK THREE: Friday, August 19th - Mommy Bloggers
WEEK FOUR: Friday, August 26th - Interior Design/ DIY/ Home Decor Bloggers
WEEK FIVE: Friday, September 2nd - Food Bloggers
WEEK SIX: Friday, September 9th- Healthy Living (Food, Wellness, Workout) Bloggers
WEEK SEVEN: Friday, September 16th - Inspiration/ Photo Bloggers
WEEK EIGHT: Recap with links to all past weeks hosted by Fabulous But Evil and Mrs. Monologues

You can link your blog up once or multiple times, as long as your blog fits into the category of the week.

Here is how it will work:
  •  Each week you are participating write a post on whatever you want, whether it be a list of favorite posts or an intro post about you. Make sure the blog title is: "True Life: I'm a (insert genre)
  • On the link up post make sure to copy the button code (below and on each weeks post) and include it in your  post so people know you are joining the party. 
  • Once you write you post come back and link up and get ready to have a lot of new visitors stop by your blog.
  •  Don't forget to click through the list to find some new reads too!
