Thanks so much to Jen for this lovely write-up on Spring Inspiration:
Ramshackle Glam is written by Jordan Reid. I like her because she’s fearless. Not to lead with the negative, but she’s been the victim of some nasty commenters who followed her to her new blog after she left the widely criticized NonSociety.com. Not only do Jordan’s detractors have something negative to say about almost everything she does, they’ve started an entire website dedicated to mocking her whole life. This is something Internet celebrities like Julia Allison might be used to, but it’s a surprise to see such negativity directed at someone like Jordan, who comes off as a sweet, cheerful, do-it-yourself domestic, a charming and natural writer and TV show host, and a loving, devoted wife to her adorable husband. (You’ll have to check out her site for the sweet story of their quick courtship and marriage.) In a phrase, Jordan is inspiring because she refuses to be thrown off course by people who judge her. And her site is a great collection of simple, unpretentious recipes, smart ideas for housekeeping and decor, and fabulous ways to make the most of New York City, her native town. Best of all, she quit an office job that didn’t suit her to get where she is today! If you’re looking for an inspirational, brave and positive site, visit hers.
