13 Unmissable Reads, The Best of the Blogosphere (November 2017)

In my Best of the Blogosphere this month I have two hilarious, tears-inducing beauty reviews, thoughts on being an older blogger, menopause underwear, gifts for teens and more!

(In case you’ve not seen these posts before my Unmissable Reads are a monthly round-up of things I’ve seen, watched and liked in the blogosphere that I’m sure you’ll love too.)

It seems a particular, very successful YouTuber (rhymes with Floella…) has come under fire this month for producing (and I’m being polite here) a not-very-good-value-for-money advent calendar. There have been SO many reviews of said item on the internet, but don’t miss the one that had me in stitches – sarcastic British humour at its absolute best.

I love how YouTubers are now reviewing other YouTubers’ products… would you call that life imitating art? Something like that.

Anyway do have a read of these great links – you never know who or what you might discover that makes your day/week/month!

Michelle often writes about menopause so she was the perfect person to write a review of smart underwear that controls menopausal hot flushes.
