P.S. You may have noticed a change around here. I'm referring to the big leaderboard ad above my blog posts. Are we okay with this? I was chatting up another blogger who was saying she made 2x my ad income while getting 1/10th of the traffic, and here we are... Please let me know your thoughts! Is it too obtrusive? And remember, anything the blog returns to me goes right back into the blog in some way, shape, or form. :)

They are the VDL Naked Cleansing Oil Cream, the Aromatica Geranium Castile Soap, Etude House No-Wash Cleansing Water, Verite Timeless Effect Skin Softener, and A-True Real Black Tea True Active Essence.
