Hi Smartypanties,

So, there has been talk lately about the Federal Trade Commission cracking down on bloggers and we here at Smartypanties think this is a good thing. Many bloggers get paid per post. What does that mean? It means that they get paid to say they like a product. What does that mean for you? Well, if they don’t disclose their relationship with the company they make their readers believe what they’re saying and gain their trust all while accepting a payment for a positive review they may not really stand behind. Now, as we’ve told you guys, we often get free products to review them, however, we get many products that you never hear about because we only write about the ones that we like. What does that mean for us? We don’t get sent as many products perhaps as the blogger who is in it for all the free stuff, the blogger who says they like anything just to ensure that a company will keep the free stuff coming. So, gals all we’re saying is be wary and read blogs (and well everything) with a cautious eye. We will always disclose here if we got something for free and will never write a post because we’ve been paid to do so but this is just something you should be aware of We know you’re all savvy customers looking for honest reviews and our honest opinion and that’s what we’re always going to give ya! We’re just looking out!

We’ve always been skeptical about whether fortified juices, sodas, protein bars, and the like are actually as healthy for us as the real food. We’ve never really believed that drinking vitamin water, packed with sugar is counteracted by the vitamins. Click HERE to read a Wall Street Journal article discussing fortified foods.

Is it fashionably cute to wear an animal’s skin? Victoria Beckham and her new haircut apparently think so.  If you’ve been lusting after an Hermes bag all these years, lust no more! The Fashion Superpower has recently been blasted by PETA for breeding crocodiles to murder for its bags. Wanna know something else?  It takes 3-4 poor crocs to make ONE bag. Don’t get me wrong. I’m terrified of Crocodiles, but the thought of raising them to kill them and use their skin to dye pink and wear around just to put a leather wallet in kind of makes me nauseaus. My fave part is that the head honcho, Patrick Thomas is quoted as saying they HAVE to do this to keep up with the demand for their bags which cost up to $50,000. Umm, as if there is no choice but to keep making them. Poor things, slaves to the customers. Who feels bad for Hermes?

Okay, this has nothing to do with shopping but Josh Mandel went to my high school. He’s such a great guy so we thought we’d share this with you guys!
