Work With Me

Are you interested in having your products reviewed on It's My Life?  Or perhaps you would like to have me host a giveaway to help promote your brand?  Here is some important information to consider:

Reviews: I love to review different products!  In order to complete a review, I will need to receive the product/service so that I can share my honest opinions.  The product is not to be returned.

Giveaways: Giveaways are a great way to send traffic your way.  It's My Life has several loyal followers who would love to hear about your product.

Sponsored Posts: From time to time I do write up sponsored posts. Contact me for rates.

Banners: I do have ad space available.  Contact me for rates.

If you are interested in working with me, please email me at bridget.hopper(at)hotmail(dot)com

I reserve the right to turn down any pitch for any reason.  All posts will contain my honest opinion unless otherwise noted. 

Merging It's My Life and Readaholic

After a lot of thought, I have decided to merge both of my more popular blogs, It's My Life and Readaholic.  I will be keeping It's My Life because I still want to blog about more than just books.  Don't worry, I am still a Readaholic and will be posting many book reviews and giveaways.  I feel that it will be a lot easier on myself and my readers if I dedicate my time to one blog instead of two.  I hope you all understand and support this decision.  I value your opinion and would love to know your thoughts on this subject.  Thanks for stopping by!

Personal

First off, I want to apologize for my lack of reviews and giveaways and for not telling you this sooner.  Normally I post a lot more and I want to let you all know why there haven't been quite as many as usual.  I have been going through a rough time right now and for some reason blogging has become a bit difficult for me.  As some of you may know, I suffer from depression and blogging used to be the best medicine for me.  Lately though, it's become really hard.  I have decided to let you all in on my secret even though this is probably one of the hardest things I have ever done because I see it as a sign of weakness and to share it, well, it's just really hard.  After some soul searching, I discovered a few things.

#1 - Blogging means the world to me

I think that in the back of my mind I do things so that I won't be happy because I don't feel that I deserve happiness. 

#2 - I need to stop being so closed off

Blogging could be the perfect therapy.  I'm sure some of you are struggling with depression and one of the most important things you need to know is that you are not alone.

So, I'm making a New Year's Resolution, better late than never, and I am going to try to be more open with you all about myself. 

Thank you for understanding and I really do appreciate each and every one of you.
