Homeless Blogger Gets Job

You may be wondering how a homeless person has an online blog and I thought the same thing myself. It was great news for one lady that didn’t have a job or a home to live in; that she did find a good job. Brianna Karp is her name and she has an amazing rags to riches story to tell and it all started from her online blog the Girls Guide to Homelessness. I told you guys that good things would happen if you had a good blog online and kept up with it and now I have some proof.

Brianna Karp will no longer have to worry about not having a home or being jobless, because the company named Elle has given her a job. Her story made front page news on MSNBC or the Today.com website. Brianna will now have to wake up everyday and go to work like so many other Americans have to do everyday. Her new job will be with Elle Magazine and this is a very popular magazine. I’m sure they will pay her real well for her writing efforts, because now she will have to be doing blog posts for them. I just would like to say if Elle Magazine has room for another struggling blogger on the World Wide Web; then my services are available!

So what does a blog look like that was written by a homeless person? Here is the original homeless person’s blog and you can see that Brianna is a talented writer and good thing that Elle found her. Some people are just destined for great things and no matter where you may be in the world, if you have the talent to be some where; then someone will find you! Just keep your head up and keep working hard at whatever it is you do and your hard work will get recognized one day.

Now with a new job and a little fame to boot, Brianna would like to use her celebrity fame to shine attention on others who may not have a place to live. Being homeless in America does still exist and it’s sad that people don’t have a roof over their heads in the 21st century. Our country is too great to let these people go on struggling each day and we should all try to find the time and money to help these people out. Some of these homeless people will take full advantage of any opportunities they may get and it’s just a matter of given them that opportunity in some cases. Brianna’s story is a great one and Elle Magazine should be commended for their job offer to this young lady. I think their wise employment choice will get paid back many times over. The Girls Guide to Homelessness is the name of the blog and you shouldn’t have any problems finding it on the Net.

I do have one piece of advice for you Brianna or Bri as your followers like to call you. You have your original blog and now the Elle Magazine blog and these are indeed blogs. Each time you write something in them, that is referred to as a “post”. When you write a new article in one of your blogs, you’re submitting a new “post”. I did see where you was calling each post a blog and saying that you have “posted a new blog”, but it’s actually a new post on your blog. I hope that makes sense and thought this might help you out in the future. Good luck on your job with Elle Magazine and please do a good job for all of us other bloggers that are just looking to get our big chance someday too!

  • Children Shopping Online

    It’s not a good idea for the actual kids to go shopping online, but where would the adults go to find great children items? The habba toys is always a popular choice to make for kids and it does bring a smile to their faces. Then again what toys do children not like? Its actually easy to shop for the smaller children out there and it doesn’t take much to please them. A simple jellycat stuffed animal would be fine for them. The older kids that are in their teens are not always as easy to please or cheap either. They normally want what is popular or what their friends are buying. The latest tech gadgets or anything to do with a cell phone is what they want and will use the most. Buying for kids would be a lot more easier if they would just stay 5 years old forever, but we know that isn’t the case. It can be a tricky line for parents trying to please the older kids and my hat’s off to the ones that succeed in doing this each year for birthdays and holidays.

    The barefoot dreams collection is another place parents can focus on while they shop for their younger kids. A lot of very well-designed clothing items and other materials can be found in this collection. An adult shopping for someone else’s kids will find the Barefoot Dreams items a classy choice when shopping for a child’s gift. You can really earn some “brownie” points with the other parents if you select gifts from this collection and you can find these products online.

    Perhaps you have your own places you like to browse for bargains and deals while you shop online. Some websites offer consumers a wide variety of items for all ages and sometimes this can make shopping easier. A place that offers one stop shopping for online customers is a benefit in some cases, but you might not always find the best merchandise at online stores such as these. The best fitting clothes and designs for younger children are usually located at websites that specialize in the really small children. How many online websites could you shop for appaman clothing for children? I don’t see this brand being offered at too many places. The clothing-line that is offered by Appaman is really impressive and I don’t see children’s clothing much with the design and look appeal as these clothes have. A simple number or logo on a shirt can make that quickly become a child’s favorite shirt to put on each day. You can shop for boys and girls clothes with the Appaman name and they offer a nice selection of bottoms as well as the shirts they produce. Remember it doesn’t take much to please the small kids; let’s just make sure we put forth that effort and get them something nice while were shopping for our children online.
