Temptalia Wins Beauty Publisher of 2009 Glam Network Awards!

Date: April 20, 2009 - Posted in: About, Press

From the very bottom of my heart–for the love of all things beauty–THANK YOU for making this happen.

Every vote cast showed so much support for Temptalia, and all of those votes paid off! We were up against some fierce competition, and I was so (insanely happily) surprised to have won.

As soon as I woke up, I checked my Blackberry, and I saw the announcement e-mail, I held my breath while I clicked it open–and I screamed so loud when I read we won! This is one of those moments in life where you know your hard work has paid off and given back to you. I am humbled and honored to have received such a tremendous outpouring of support from all of you. Thank you again for being a part of such a special moment in my life!

Congratulations to all of the other Glam Network Award Winners!

    Christine – I totally know how much this means to you & how sincere you are to your readers in giving thanks. My husband runs a huge sports blog that is at the top of the ratings & over the past 3 years I’ve seen first hand the blood, sweat & tears that goes into making it a success. It is no walk in the park, that’s for sure. You bust your butt on a daily basis to give us Temptalia & all that it is. We can’t thank you enough for putting us readers first and doing this for us! It shows everyday how much you love doing what you do & we thank you. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

    When I saw the other nominees I thought, that it will be very hard. There have been some huge names as well. I´m so happy you made it (of course I voted for you too ;-)) because it´s like a big united “THANK YOU” from your readers for your incredible hard work where blogging is probably the smallest part, but getting all the information, testing, taking pictures, the whole technical thing and so on…
    You absolutly deserve it! Enjoy!

    • Christine

      Thursday, April 23, 2009

      That was what I was thinking, too, Maren! It definitely wouldn’t be an easy feat, but I am so ridiculously happy to see all the support and strength of Temptalia readers :)
