Good Morning Everyone,
I am new to blogging, and let me say that I am thrilled to have discovered SITSgirls and the Blog Mentor opportunity. I just started a beauty and lifestyle blog and I am very much looking forward to this journey.
That being said my blog is located at OliviaRuth.com and currently I am trying to focus on creating interesting content for my readers both from the actual verbiage perspective as well as with graphics/pictures. I would love to hear what the first impressions of my blog are, as well as any other feedback. Honestly all feedback will be welcomed if you would be willing to provide it.
Thank you so much! Olivia

Hi OliviaRuth! Your blog is really very pretty. Perfect colors and feel for a beauty blog. If I was to be really picky, I would say that your social media icons and the picture of you in your sidebar aren't quite centered. But that is me really stretching for something to fix. Overall, it is a great looking blog! I love that you have a posting schedule of Tuesdays and Thursdays and outlined that in your about page. Also, I'm going to need you to come curl my hair for me. I could never make mine look that good by myself!

Hey Olivia - overall your site is beautiful. I really like the colors and the white space. Here are a few tiny things you could consider:
1. For your email subscribe, delete the words "email address" above the box because it's already visible within the box. 2. Move your disclaimer to the footer, since it's ugly and just needs to be somewhere on the page! 3. Include a few sentences below that pretty photo of you to help the reader immediately connect. The "about" section is one of the first places I look! 4. Consider adding a popular posts widget to your sidebar to decrease bounce rate.
Hope that helps!

Hi Kelly and Tracie - Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my question, I really appreciate it! I am definitely going to make a few updates to my blog this evening. If you ever pop-by again I would love to hear your thoughts/comments.
Kelly - I will definitely be checking out A Side of Sweet (Tracie if you had one I would look at it too)!
XO - Olivia

Super cute! I don't have anything to add on the layout/design end - I'm just looking forward to seeing what else you do content-wise!
