It’s that time of year again – the Cosmo Blog Awards! I almost died of a heart-attack last year when somebody tweeted me to tell me that I was on the short-list, so it would be lovely to have that near-death feeling once more. (Joke!) Please can you all do me the biggest favour and give me a nomination? I will love you all even more than I do already! (Shameless pleading…)

Believe it or not, A Model Recommends is still under 18 months old (just!) – I wrote my first post at the end of February 2010 and launched the site in its present form in May 2010. So I’m guessing that you’ll have to tick the ‘new beauty blog’ category, unless I hear otherwise from the organisers. The URL for this site is

https://www.ruthcrilly.co.uk

Fingers crossed that I make it onto the shortlist again – and then it will be all hands on deck for my voting campaign. I’ll be doing door-to-door visits with my clipboard and propaganda leaflets, haha!
