favorites.

there used to be a thing called google reader. anyone? it's gone now {but thank gosh for feedly!}. when i was a little greener in my career i had a tad bit more time on my hands, and each day was filled with the ritual of checking in on my favorite bloggers. sometimes i'd even write to them... yup, fan mail from yours truly.

so anyways, this list is what i'd recommend be part of your ritual. some true gems in this here blog universe. i hope these gals inspire you as much as they've inspired me through the years!
