For this week’s Best of the Web, I am sharing with you someone who is not only fabulous, creative, stylish, and a great blogger; but she is also a dear friend of mine.
Trashy Betty
Trashy Betty shares with her readers stories, lists, experiences, and photos from her life. This may seem like “just another blog,” but I assure you it is not. Trashy Betty is one of the most unique people I have the pleasure of knowing. She has an Etsy store, does makeup for pinup shoots, works in a motorcycle shop, and has two beautiful little girls.
One of my favorite things about this fabulous blogger is that not only is she proud of her curves, but she also wants to help other curvaceous ladies find the courage to flaunt their own. Thank you for being such an inspiration.
I got to get the nitty gritty on Trashy Betty! Here goes:
1. what is your favorite pic of yourself?
It would have to be a photo that my friend Courtney, of CourtneyR Photography took of me! I do believe eyes are the windows to the soul.
2. ______ geek (what do you geek)

Bring it On 2012
January 2, 2012 | Posted by nighlon under ----- Day, Branding, Fabulously Geeky, Facebook, Holidays, Other, Social Networks, Twitter |
2011 was never dull.
I had joy and disappointment.
There were so many happy moments and at the same time, it was a rough year.
NighLon said hello in 2011, and at just three months old, growing by leaps and bounds.
Remembering this, I am so ready for 2012 and all the things it will bring.
I sat down and came up with some goals for NighLon in 2012.

Happiness Day is TODAY!

Today was very frustrating to me.
I won’t go into many details.
All I will say is this: People should be more thankful!
No matter your situation, there is always something to be thankful for.
It saddens me to see that this is the world my son will grow up in.
In light of this, I have decided to start a new project.
I want to make a difference and make the world a happier place!
Enter: BEAUTIFUL IMPERFECTION: life is perfect, even when its not!
As I’m sure you have read before, Beautiful Imperfection is my mommy blog.
Its kind of cute too (I’m proud of it)
Here, I am going to start a challenge. A challenge to be a positive inspiration to people.
To encourage others to be happier.
To encourage others to look around them and see what they have to be thankful for.
I will share with you when the details are complete.
Now for some fun!
I have decided to follow in an old family tradition with NighLon.

This was to bring something good from the old year into the new year.
Following in this tradition, I am going to keep the blog kit giveaway going until January 3rd.

I want in Triberr & Another Gift for You!
December 17, 2011 | Posted by nighlon under Blog Bling, Branding, Christmas, Fabulously Geeky, Holidays, Other, Social Networks |
I discovered something today.
It may just be the best thing since Twitter!
I had heard of triberr.com before, but really hadn’t given it much thought.
(enter the gets distracted by shiny things side of me)
Earlier today, I was playing on Klout, and ended up on triberr.com.
I have no idea how I got there, just that a lot of clicks were involved!
I start looking into it, and I am totally dumbfounded. It seems absolutely amazing.
Basically, it is a community where bloggers support and encourage eachother.
Triberr in their own words:
“Triberr is a blogging community that solves the number one problem that bloggers have. We do that by allowing small and medium size bloggers to come together and let them tap into each other’s audiences automagically.”
Amazing, right!
Why didn’t I think of this?
OH yeah, I’m distracted by shiny things.
Anyway. I try to sign up and guess what….
I have to have an invite code!
So to sum up this post:
If anyone has an invite for me, please feel free to share!
Here is a Christmas frame for you!
Just right click and save. If you enjoy or need help inserting the pictures, feel free to leave a comment.
Please read my Terms of Use
I have skipped the blog of the day for a few days because I have something special lined up!
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
