Hey everyone! Today is going to be a blog readers' announcement & helpful tutorial. Google recently announced that they will be getting rid of their blog reading program Google Reader on July 1st, which means that everyone reading this blog using Google Reader will sadly no longer be able to. If this sounds like mumbo-jumbo to you, then let me introduce you to the wonderful world of RSS Feeds!
An RSS feed is basically like a blog's content updated in real time. A "reader" helps you to read all of the RSS feeds you subscribe to. If you read a lot of blogs, it can be easier to go to one place to read all of your feeds so you don't need to click on each blog separately to check for updates. It's like reading all your favorite blog updates in one cohesive blog, which makes blog reading so much easier!
Obviously I don't want to leave my Google Reader subscribers stranded so I wanted to share how to migrate your Reader subscriptions from Google to Bloglovin' before the inevitable crash and burn on July 1st.
That should save a lot of pain from importing each blog manually and prevent your RSS feeds from disappearing.
For those of you who aren't already using a reader and would like to follow on Bloglovin' just click this button below.

This is the symbol for an RSS feed
To bring it back to the topic at hand, a couple years ago I discovered a reader called Bloglovin' which is actually catered toward fashion and beauty blogs. It's now my main site used for following the eleventy-billion blogs I follow, organized by category, and I don't even know what I did before using it. I have a feeling you guys might like using it too, so consider this a PSA. ;)
