I’m not insecure about most things. I’m a fairly confident person. But the one area that gets me self-conscious is my skin. My mom let me suggested I wear foundation when I was in the 6th grade because I was already breaking out everywhere. I got facials regularly in Middle and High School (my mom worked at a salon!).

I just knew that by the time I got married my skin would be clear. No such luck. My skin was broken out on my wedding day. Every year after that I just assumed my skin would get better. I mean, what adult has acne? My skin has been so oily for so long, my skin should like great in my 30′s! Preserved, right?!

Notsomuch.

When I turned 30, my sisterchick Mandi gave me a gift certificate to her sister-in-law’s (and my long-time friend) salon. Not a hair salon. Or a nail salon. An all-natural skin salon called Skin Solutions! I was ecstatic.

I made my appointment for a blueberry smoothie enzyme peel and walked away with an additional Jessner peel because I’m pretty sure Rebekah, the owner saw my skin and said, “Oh my. We’ve got some work to do.” She warned me that my skin would start peeling in the next 3-5 days. Which just happen to be in the middle of my 30th birthday Sisterchick Cruise. And when it started peeling off, it PEELED OFF! I was like the nastiest snake you have ever seen. When all the skin was off, I felt like an inch of my face…rather an inch of junkiefied, nasty, dirt had come off my skin. I literally shed my skin revealing new baby skin beneath!

You may have had a peel before. But you probably had a CHEMICAL peel. This is a natural enzyme peel. A Blueberry Smoothie peel is actually a BLUEBERRY enzyme peel. Your skin is being cleaned by natural ingredients in God’s world!

{Before: Bad skin.}

Since then I’ve been using only the skincare products and make up recommended by Rebekah at Skin Solutions. And even when my skin looks bad (because I haven’t been cleaning it as I should, etc.), it looks better than it’s ever looked.

Skin Solutions is a good little trek from my house so sometimes I’ll run out of a product and go a few days (or weeks, yikes!) without part of my skin care routine. And I don’t notice that my skin looks bad but when I get my product and start the full routine again, my skin looks better after one application. I hate to be trite but to this problematic skin girl, it’s a miracle!

{After: Good skin*}

I’m super excited that Skin Solutions has started an online shop because now when I see I’m getting low I can order what I need and it will show up on my doorstep. You know I’m a fan of that! In fact, I placed an order this week and got it in one day! Woot! My husband saw the box on the counter and said, “Uh-oh. I see Skin Solutions. How much did that set me back?” It is expensive. But considering all the junk I’ve bought from the drugstore (and probably poisoned my skin with) and trashed over the years, this probably doesn’t even compare!

For the record (if anyone wants to get their own), I use:

Purity Clean (use it twice at night and once in the morning)
Purity Balance (a spray “toner” after the Clean)
Clarity Serum (to control oil)
Define (an exfoliating moisturizer I cocktail with the Serum at night)
Pure Enzymes (a mask used every once in awhile)
Serious Protection (daily sunscreen)
LaBella Donna Compressed Foundation
Visions of Mineral Light (blush)

If you’ve struggled with your skin–breakouts, aging, dryness, etc. you really need to check out Skin Solutions‘ line of skin care and cosmetics. If you’re in the Atlanta area, Skin Solutions is worth the drive to Cumming, I promise! Rebekah will treat you fabulously and work hard to get your skin looking–no actually BEING healthy!

Plus, Skin Solutions is offering $10 off any facial or body service for my Atlanta area readers! Just print the coupon below. Score!

And if you are (sadly) not in Atlanta, they are offering a free (2oz) Save Your Skin spray with any purchase (a $7 value). I have some and it is lovely to use after a sunburn! Order via this link and it will be shipped with your order!

It’s here, folks: my last Top Ten {Tuesday}. In case you missed the big announcement, you better click back to last week! Let’s get to this week because honestly, I’ve been wanting to write this post for awhile. I love Top Ten {Tuesday} and I think it’s a really good carnival. And I think everyone ought to know why!

{Don’t you like the new button?! Angie’s post today is fabulous, too: Tips for Writing & Promoting a Top Ten {Tuesday} post!}

OK, ready?

The Top Ten Reasons Top Ten {Tuesday} Is The Most Fabulous Carnival EVER

1. Anyone Can Link Up

You do not have to be crafty, a hard-hitting writer, a homeschooler, a professional blogger or any niche to link up with Top Ten {Tuesday}. You can write about anything under the sun and still link up! Top Ten {Tuesday} can expand your bloggy horizons!

2. Not Just Anyone Can Link Up

(I am the queen of the paradox, no?)

If you wanna link up with Top Ten {Tuesday} you have to write a list. You can’t just find a post you did this week and randomly submit it. There are many carnivals I visit that are like “Hey, whatever you want to post about, link it up because I wanna say that I had 800 links!” which is fine, but that means that many of the posts were not written FOR the carnival. Top Ten {Tuesday} folks write their post knowing they are going to link up. We are one prepared group!

3. Easy to Share 

I would say 90% of the posts each week are easily sharable. They are not full of “meh”. They are stumble-worthy, pin-worthy posts! They are easily google-able and seo-friendly. I am astounded by all the great information, creativity and passion in our Top Ten lists!

4. Easy To Monetize

Because most of our lists are easy to share, they are also easy to monetize. If you write a Top Ten list about your favorite books every single item can be linked with an affiliate link to Amazon. If you’re looking for a good affiliate link type post, a Top Ten post comes in super handy.

5. #toptentues

We have our own hashtag. And people use it. And I love it.

6. Sometimes You Need a List.

Lists are just nice. They change up the normal everyday format of your blog. It’s like a little surprise for your readers. ProBlogger even suggests writing a list on Day 2 of his 31 Days to a Build a Better Blog, so you know it must be a good idea!

7. Flexibility.

Wanna post ten words that make you ill when you hear them? (Coagulate! *shiver*) Then next week you feel like writing ten mini-dissertations? The week after that—ten photos from your vacation? DO IT! Top Ten {Tuesday} is flexible and works with any and every kind of subject!

8. Scannable

Remember, you only have seconds on a blog post before a reader turns away. Lists are easily scannable and somehow fill that self-help desire that keep people reading (What?! I can change my life in 10 easy steps?!! Sign me up!).

9. Interactive

How many times has someone commented, “YES! I totally do #3 and #5!!”? People can remember what you wrote and respond to your list or add their own item!

10. YOU

You make Top Ten {Tuesday} fabulous! Your creative, insightful, shareable lists make this a great carnival. Thank you again for being a part of this community! Each and every one of your links is a gift to me! THANK YOU! I’m honored you’ve linked up with me the last four years. I’m sure I’ll be visiting Many Little Blessings to say hello on Tuesdays, so I’ll see you there!

And on that note, this better not be good-bye! If you only stop by for Top Ten {Tuesday}, please make sure you’re subscribed to ohAmanda (via feedreader or email) or connect with me on Pinterest, Twitter or Facebook! Don’t leave me now!

Ooh, and come back tomorrow for an important to me post that includes a great deal for you!

:: :: ::

OK! Today’s link up is a little different. When you enter your permalink below it will also show up on Angie’s blog, Many Little Blessings! If you enter it at Angie’s blog it will show up over here. You don’t need to enter it at both places--that would be weird.

So, go ahead WRITE a fabulous Top Ten list. LINK back to me Angie in it (she’s got the HTML in her sidebar). PASTE the url to your post in one our linkies. Start LOVIN’ on the rest of the particpants with visits, comments, stumbles, pins, likes and tweets (#toptentues)!

Next week Top Ten {Tuesday} will begin it’s new life at Angie’s blog, Many Little Blessings.
(I’d love to see it be the biggest link up ever! Show her some #toptentues love, ok?)

We made it! The last and final stop in our How *I* Write a Blog Post series! I hope you haven’t been bored out of your mind. I hope it has been helpful. I kinda liked writing it. I’m intrigued by blogging and social media so I love talking about it.

I want to end with just a few tiny little tips and practices I’ve adopted as I write my posts. They aren’t life-changing, but I think they’re good stuff!

1. Customized Links

I told you I like customizing my links for twitter. But I also like customizing links so I can remember them and have them on hand when I need them quickly. And why would I want to remember them? Because I want to link to myself regularly! And not just to make sticky posts.

Sometimes I run across a Tangled party post on another blog. When I am leaving a comment, instead of putting my blog’s URL in the required field, I put in the link to my Tangled Party. But I don’t want to go back to my blog and look up the URL, so I just remember my customized URL: bit.ly/TangledParty!

This also works well when someone asks me about my party on Twitter or Facebook. Or even if I just want to link to it in one of my own posts. I can quickly remember it and link it!

I have customized URLs for all my parties, series, About Me pages and even to a bio page (which includes a photo and bio for other blogs to use when I guest post, etc.).

Not to toot my own horn but I think this genius. It’s such a big time-saver!

2. Share This button

There are all kinds of social media buttons and plug-ins to insert into your posts so that others can easily share your posts on their social media networks. Share This is my favorite. And since I’ve installed it in this format (large buttons with number of shares above the buttons ), I’ve noticed I get MORE shares. People experience positive peer pressure and if it’s been shared 400 times, they are apt to do the same.

3. Series

A series is a perfect opportunity keep people coming back to your blog for more.

Here are a few ideas I’ve used to maximize my series…

• Make a linky of the series. You can set up a private linky (from LinkyTools) to add all your posts into one big visual post. Here’s my Super Hero series from Impress Your Kids…

You might wanna click over to see the whole post but it begins with my series graphic, a quick description, then the link with every post in order and I also include an Amazon widget with fun super hero books and CDs (monetization!!!) and a button to my Super Hero Pinterest board!

• Link to the next post in the series at the bottom of the previous post. I usually write a teaser like, “Stay tuned for Part 4!” then when Part 4 is posted, I go back and link it. That way when people are finding your series later, they can follow along quickly!

• In this blogging series, I also added a banner to the bottom that links back to the original post in the series. It also marks this post as a series, which I like.

• The first post in the series also contains a list of links to the entire series! So my readers have NO EXCUSE to not read every single one!

So. I think I’ve done it. I think I’ve told you every detail of my life on this computer. Now do you see why blogging is so time-consuming? Do you see why my dishes are never done and my laundry continues to be in a huge pile? It’s all this blogginess that must happen when I write a post! (Also, do you see where my priorities lie?!)

I hope you enjoyed this series! If you did, please consider sharing it on your social media networks! Click the banner below to get to the first page of the series OR use this customized URL to cut/paste into your tweets or Facebook updates: http://bit.ly/HowIWrite

(See? See how I did that?!)

Now. Any questions?

Pin It

Ahh, Pinterest! The newest site to take Social Media by storm. If for some reason you’re under a rock and haven’t heard of it, it’s a beautiful website that mimics a pinboard. You find cool images, posts, articles or websites online and pin them on your own boards.

I have boards for food (which I use as a cookbook about once a week), bloggy resources (links to my favorite photographers, tutorials, etc.), hairstyles (to show my stylist), kids crafts I want to do and even a purple board! It’s the only bookmarking site I’ve ever used with success.

Let’s talk about how I use Pinterest when I write a blog post…

To Pin Or Not To Pin?

I do not like to pin my own posts. It doesn’t feel right to me. Maybe that’s how old-skool folks on Twitter felt when people started adding their RSS feeds. But I’m standing firm. Pinterest is a board for ME. Pinning my posts feels spammy.

Pinterest even cautions against self-promotion, “Pinterest is designed to curate and share things you love. If there is a photo or project you’re proud of, pin away! However, try not to use Pinterest purely as a tool for self-promotion.” (source)

Instead of pinning yourself, why not ask your golden rule group to pin it?

So, How Do I Make Pinterest Work For My Blog Posts?

1. Put a PIN IT button on my posts. If my post is something I think people will want to remember (one of those evergreen posts), I go to Pinterest and craft a personal Pin It button for your post. I made you a screencast, because they are fun. It’s under 58 seconds. Enjoy…

There are plug-ins that do this, too. But I haven’t had much success with them. Has anyone else?

2. Make my Photos Pinnable and Re-Pinnable. If you have a good post, people are going to pin it regardless of your pictures. If you have good pictures, even more people are going to pin it. But if you have a super-perfect photo people will REPIN it!

For example, my Little House on the Prairie party was pretty adorable. But the pictures alone, don’t pique any interest if there’s no context (ie. people browsing Pinterest). By adding graphics to one of my photos (the first photo in the post) it makes my post pinnable AND re-pinnable. Plus, it sets up a nice title for my post. See?

The only thing that would make this picture better is if I had put “ohamanda.com” in the bottom corner. No need to waste an opportunity to advertise my blog title, you know?

3. Pin My Own Posts. I thought you said you didn’t pin your own stuff?! Well, I don’t. Mostly.

Let’s go back to Lydia’s Little House party. When I first started planning the party, I made  Lydia’s Little House on the Prairie Party board on Pinterest. I added all the ideas I found on etsy, via google and from Pinterest. Then once my party was finally done and my post up, I pinned it with a description like, “And here it is, Lydia’s party!”

My board is a fabulous resource for people who want to do a Little House Party (however small that audience might be) and I couldn’t NOT add my own post!

I’ve actually gone back and started boards for some of my old parties like Lydia’s Tangled Party because I still love the idea & have found fun ideas that go with it. Then I can pin my post on the board without being spammy.

I do this lots on my Impress Your Kids blog for series I’m doing. My Super Sunny Day, Advent Calendars and Super Hero board has tons of really fun links and then ONE link to my posts when I’ve published them. It’s a win-win for Pinners AND for folks reading my blog because they can see the extras I’ve found on Pinterest!

Another idea…

Some people do have boards titled, “MY BLOG POSTS” or “GREAT IDEAS BY ME” which is just a big RSS feed from their blog. And that’s fine because you can follow boards individually. If you don’t like seeing someone pin their own stuff, you can unfollow that board. I tried to do this. You can see how well it turned out.

Now. Let’s Talk About Being Nice On Pinterest.

There are so many blog posts about this right now. I was going to do my own little dissertation on permalinks, graphics and more. Instead, I’ll leave you with this: JUST CUZ YOU PIN SOMETHING DOESN’T MAKE IT YOURS. And on the other hand, IF SOMEONE PINS YOUR CONTENT THEY MIGHT THINK IT’S THEIRS. WHATCHOO GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

And now, to explain those awesome warnings, read these posts. Seriously. Pin them if you have to, they are that good:

Information for Bloggers & People Who Use Pinterest and Pinterest Is Changing How I Blog from Amy at Living Locurto. {If you’re getting traffic from Pinterest or WANT traffic from Pinterest, you MUST MUST read these two posts.}

The Ultimate List of Pinterest Tips at Blogging With Amy {Honestly, why am I even doing a series about blogging when Amy’s blog exists? She’s got her finger on pulse of blogging.}

I could honestly talk about Pinterest forever because it’s so interesting to me. I didn’t even touch on the insight I gain from watching my blog being pinned (see: http://pinterest.com/source/ohamanda.com). Talk about real time feedback!

But I’ll stop. You’re welcome.

How do you leverage Pinterest for your blog?

Do you like the way it takes me almost 20 days to do a 10 part series? Me, too. Anywhoo, welcome back to How *I* Write a Blog Post. Where were we? Oh yeah! We’ve written our post and are tryin’ to get it OUT there. After I facebook it, I tweet it.

Now, I have a long relationship with Twitter. In fact, I randomly got a tweet the other day that I’ve been tweeting 4 years. (It was my tweetaversary? Tweetday?) And I love twitter. Even though it’s crazy popular, it’s still kind of a secret club. I still hear people say, “I don’t get twitter.” And for some reason, that makes me like it more. I like being part of something that is mysterious to others. And actually getting something others don’t.

That being said, Twitter has definitely changed in the last four years. It went from daily hourly status updates to big conversations. Now it feels a little less conversational and a little more RSS feed. But I believe if you want to be IN Social Media, (that’s social media with a capital S) you need to be on twitter. Not just shooting your RSS feed to twitter but interacting on it and with it.

However, we’re talking about How I Write a Blog Post.

So, after I write a post, I send it to twitter. I usually do an update right away. Then I schedule it 2 more times for the day.

For example, 8am when I first post. Then lunch-ish (or nap-time) and another at 8pm-ish (which is kid-bedtime!). There are all kinds of research on when the best time to tweet is, the most RT-able time, etc. I just tend to tweet them when I am actually on because I figure my audience has a similar schedule to me.

I use Tweetdeck to schedule my tweets. But Hootsuite also works well. I don’t like those automatic from your blog post tweets. I know I occasionally do them. But I don’t like them. They are ugly.

I’m also very conscious of a few things in my tweets:

1. Make it RT-able. If you write a tweet that is 139 characters, no one will be able to retweet (RT) it. So, pare it down to give yourself room for a RT. I know I’ve seen good tweets and go to RT them but when I couldn’t cut it down to RT it, I just dumped it.

2. Link to others. I’m all about being generous with my tweets. I try to use others’ twitter handles, popular hashtags and company twitter handles. This will get you RTs, too. People love RT-ing nice tweets about themselves. (Although that can be a little tacky. I like the advice to STAR them instead.)

3. Keep it neat. I shorten my links so my tweets aren’t ugly. I like bit.ly because it’s shorter than some of the others, I can look at stats of my tweets and the links are customizable. I almost always customize important links because, which one would you rather click on: bit.ly/TangledParty or bit.ly/Idksl91? That’s what I thought.

OK. That’s all I got.

What’s your twitter advice?

A little Top Ten {Tuesday} history for you. And a little bit of it’s future…

1. The Beginning

I went to the first Blissdom Conference four years ago. I sat with Mandi Ehman in an affiliate marketing class and we joked that we were going to start a gift guide blog so we could make big money off of Amazon affiliate links.

From that conversation I started Top Ten {Tuesday}. She started Jungle Deals & Steals. Now you know which one of us is the bloggy genius! (Clue: Her.)

 2. The First

For a few months only about 5 people linked up. I read every single post, commented on each and tweeted about their posts. Pretty soon 17 people linked up. Then 25. And one day, after a post about blogging, I had 55 people link up! I couldn’t believe it!

 3. Now

Every week between 50 and 75 people link up with Top Ten {Tuesday}. We tweet, stumble and pin other’s posts. And I feel like it’s been a really fun and successful carnival.

 4. Let’s stop for a minute and talk about the difference between a carnival and a meme.

I’m sorry, this has nothing to do with anything, but I have to get it off my chest. A carnival is when a group of bloggers write about the same topic (or in our case, the same format!). A meme is when you answer questions like one of those old school emails where they ask you what kind of color crayon you’d be.

Top Ten {Tuesday}, Works for Me Wednesday and Made By You Monday are carnivals. This is a meme. Now, go in peace.

Where was I? Oh yeah…

 5. My Blogginess

If you’ve been around here awhile, you know I’ve gone through some changes on my blog in the last year. First I stopped posting 6 times a week. (What a relief!) Then I took the whole month of August off.

Since Truth in the Tinsel happened, I’ve felt more and more that I have to devote significant, thoughtful time to my Impress Your Kids blog.

But one thing kept hanging over my head: Top Ten {Tuesday}. It seems silly but I really try to bring quality posts to you every Tuesday.

I see Top Ten {Tuesday} as a day guests are coming to my house. I want my bloggy home gussied up and ready for you. And you know I like entertaining!

But it’s stressful, too because sometimes I feel like I have nothing more to say. Like I’ve said it all before and can’t think of anything else to give you.

 6. The Point

Top Ten {Tuesday} is moving. It’s not leaving. It’s just getting a new home. I thought and thought about somewhere Top Ten {Tuesday} could go. Maybe make it’s own website? Let it be up for grabs to the first person to link up next week?

Nah. I needed to give it to someone who loved it like I do!

 7. The Person

I sent an email to my friend Angie from Many Little Blessings a few weeks ago and asked her if she’d take over Top Ten {Tuesday}. She said she was so surprised she almost spit her pita sandwich out of her mouth. (See? Don’t you love her already?)

Angie is a long-time Top Ten {Tuesday} linker-upper. She consistently writes fun, insightful posts. She actually guest-posted Top Ten {Tuesday} back in August and her post got over 600 shares! (To compare, my last normal Top Ten {Tuesday} got 20. Ahem.)

Angie also runs 2 other blogs: The Homeschool Classroom and Catholic Mothers Online. Plus, she has an etsy shop AND a web design business called Tiny Owl. SERIOUSLY?! She’s magic.

Plus, she likes Disney. Yeah.

 8. The Plan

This week I’m introducing Angie and her fabu blog to you. Next Tuesday, I’ll host Top Ten {Tuesday}’s linky here AND Angie will host it at her blog, too. So, if you link up here, it will show up on Angie’s blog. If you go over to Angie’s and link up, it will show up here, too.

Then the first Tuesday of March, Top Ten {Tuesday} will be at it’s own new little home at Many Little Blessings. And I know it (and you) will be very happy, welcomed and comfortable there!

 9. The Button

We’ve already got a new button for you! So grab it here, use it on your posts and start making the trek to Angie & Many Little Blessings on Tuesdays.

{If this doesn’t work for you–try looking at the HTML on your blog: make sure the ” are not curly or backwards. Just go in and switch them. It should work. If not, you’ll have to save it to your computer, upload it and link it yourself. These scrolling HTML boxes will be the death of me!!}

 10. The Same

All the fabulous things you love about Top Ten {Tuesday} will be the same—the camaraderie, the hashtag (#toptentues) and the excuse to use a list for a blog post! I’m sure Angie has some fabulous ideas for making Top Ten {Tuesday} even better, so please give her all your love and devotion.

Thank you so much for making Top Ten {Tuesday} an outstanding place in the blogosphere. I love reading all your posts and seeing you interact in the comments and on twitter. Thank you for loving it with me! Next week I’m going to write an entire list devoted to the awesomeness of Top Ten {Tuesday}.

(Yes, I realize this is only an invisible carnival on an invisible website, but I still kinda have feelings for it! My little baby carnival!)

Can’t wait to see you for Top Ten {Tuesday}: The Finale. Now, get on over to Many Little Blessings and say hello to Angie!
