Sallie is starting up the Blogs of Beauty Awards! This is their second go-round! Last year, when she started these awards specifically for women bloggers I had about six bloggers that I read on a regular basis! This year my list is so much longer! I’ve all kinds of ideas about nominating some of you lovely ladies out there!

Here are the categories for awards…
