Blaq Vixen Beauty

i think ur blog is way too commercial. ads and promos is not a blog. that's a website. a successful blogger puts her or his personality in the blog. they show pictures of themselves,. they are confident and it showz through a computer. i love beauty blogs but there are only a handfull of black women beauty bloggers that understand that. u hve to find somethin that makes ur blog unique. why should people come bacck? why should i subscribe? think about it

From this comment, it seems like Anonymous is implying that I'm not successful because my blog is too commercial, I don't put enough personality in my blog and because I don't show pictures of myself here on Blaq Vixen Beauty. However, I know better. While it seems harsh, they're telling the truth, even if they're not a regular reader. Instead of trying to be like every other blog out there, I have to find something that makes my blog unique. I also need to be more confident even if I don't feel that way. It seems like I've been so busy trying to be more commercial that I've lost sight of why I started Blaq Vixen Beauty. I see now that being more commercial than personal doesn't always equal success.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm back in high school trying to be like the popular kids. It surely doesn't help when there are bloggers out there that live to put other bloggers down.

Honestly, I found my past posts be embarassing except my posts dealing with my skin. For those of you who don't know what I look like, here's the link. I thought that what made my blog unique - that I had the courage to put my flaws on display like that. You better believe I was scared - I was waiting for the anonymous, nasty comments to come but they never came. Instead, I received so many supportive comments and I'm thankful for that.

I haven't posted any updated pictures of my skin because I lost my camera and have to wait to replace it. From time to time, I use my mom's camera but it doesn't show as much as detail as my beloved PowerShot. So until I can afford to replace my camera, those updated photos will have to wait. Also, I've been using a new acne skincare system which caused me to break out. At the moment, I have seventeen new scars that I have to treat because I picked at them. Whenever I'm stressed, I pick at myself. It's a habit that I haven't learned how to break yet.

So, what I want to know is: What exactly do you miss about the old Blaq Vixen Beauty, if you've been reading ever since last year? Please note that if you're going to leave anonymous comments, please refrain from attacking the blog and using foul language. Thank you. All I need is helpful feeback and that's it.
