Weddingbee Blog

I have a confession. I’ve been very influenced by Weddingbee. I’m normally not easily persuaded but there’s something about people’s posts here that intrigue me. For example (how embarassing), Mrs. Bee’s post about her DS Lite brought me out of my 6 year video game hiatus. Hello, my name is Miss Hibiscus and I used to be a video game addict. Now, because of Mrs. Bee, I begged for a DS Lite for my birthday in September and I’ve since then received and purchased eight games. I spend my nights and weekends playing Phoenix Wright Justice for All (apparently it’s not out in the US yet–it’s the Japanese version with an English mode), Super Mario Brothers, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Brain Age, Elite Beat Agents, Cooking Mama and Trace Memory.

What’s even more concerning is that after showing my friends my DS Lite, FIVE of them have purchased one as well. Someone I’ve never met before posts about something and next thing I know, me and several friends (age range from 25-30’s) are whining to our husbands and fiances for a portable video game system. What’s even more strange is that Mrs. Bee’s post wasn’t an advertisement. She was just excited and sharing a piece of her life. Maybe that’s exactly it. It’s knowing someone is really excited about something and through their “recommendation” they do not get any sort of commission. I hope the tone of this doesn’t sound like I’m upset. I’m actually very thankful. (Thanks Mrs. Bee! I love my DS Lite! haha)

Now, this wasn’t the first time Weddingbee has compelled me to purchase something. Mrs. Ant posted about Prescriptives Virtual Skin Foundation and being someone who doesn’t wear foundation, I purchased this as well. Well, I also brought a friend with me and she bought the same foundation. Now, since I know that I am not easily influenced at all. I want to know that I’m not alone.
